"SON OF A BITCH!"


    [What did I say about remaining calm?]


    "Ahhhh! I can''t believe this shit!"


    [Believe it]


    "It''s bad enough that I was stupid enough to cause my own death but...!"


    [It still hasn''t been confirmed you''re dead yet...]


    "...but..."


    [But?]


    "...but to add insult to injury, I''ve been sent to another world like in some shitty ''Isekai'' Manga!"


    [Isekai''s really aren''t that bad. Only poor execution of it...though that''s just my opinion]


    "Will you shut the hell up already!" Filled to the brim with anger, Raymond began gasping for air.


    [Let it all out of your system.]


    "Hah...hah...hah...!"


    [You done?]


    "...Yeah"


    [Good. As much as I enjoyed your adorable little freakout, like I said, we''re pressed on time. So let''s finish this little "Q & A" session before the "project" starts]


    "About that, why does this...well...whatever this is...have the same title as my..."


    [That''s not for me to say. But your project is, in part, one of the reasons you''re here so it seemed appropriate]


    "Uh-huh" (Yeah...that sounds like a load of BS. But this thing is probably not gonna say anymore so I''ll drop it for now)


    [Let''s stop talking about the past, and more about our mutually beneficial future. You know what you have to ask]


    "Sigh...How do I play this game?"


    [The rules are simple, you''ll be inserted into the world as a simple background character and all you have to do is survive. And if you survive, you just might be able to go back home]


    "I''ll be able to go back?! You''ll send me back?


    [Not me, I have no influence in this world]


    "Then how do you know I can go back?"


    [Because I''m the "Guide". Like everyone else in the universe, there are things I know...and things I don''t know]


    (How convenient for you) "And all I have to do is just...survive? That''s it?"


    [That''s it]


    "And for how long do I have to survive"


    [You should strive to stay alive past ''Part 2'' of the main story is finished. That should guarantee your safety]


    "Part 2...you mean after the ''4th Shinobi World War'' is over?"


    [Correct. When I say "survive", I mean become strong enough to the point no one can really threaten you]


    "Why not later, like during the sequel series ''Boruto''?"


    [This "game" takes place during the events of ''Naruto'' not ''Boruto'']


    "So, there will be no influence from Sequel?"


    [Just a little, but hardly anything noticeable. If you make it past "Part 2", you shouldn''t have anything to worry about. This ''game'' is supposed to be interesting]


    "Interesting?"


    [Of course! Otherwise, there''d be no point in doing all of this!]


    "...In other words, I''m just a source of entertainment for you"


    [I''ll certainly have fun but, you''re not here to entertain me. But definitely "someone" else. And that is all I will say on "that" matter]


    "......So just survive then. Alright, I can work with that."


    [Hm? Someone''s awfully chipper now]


    "Well it''s just, I thought it was gonna be hard but who knew it''d be so easy"


    [Oh, and just who said it was going to be easy?]


    "...What?"
