Introduction (This is not the first chapter)
⚠️ Noob mumbling ahead. You can totally skip this…
⚠️ But you might just miss something weirdly important.
⚠️ I’m slowly reworking my early chapters, so many mistakes...
This book is divided into multiple volumes, each covering a major arc or phase of the story. Every volume contains several chapters.

Hello! How are you?
I’m really glad you decided to check out the ‘first chapter’ of my novel. This is actually my first time writing a full-length story. I’m from Indonesia, maybe you’ve heard of Bali? Yup, that’s part of Indonesia! English is my third language, and I’ve been learning it through reading and playing games lol. I especially love RPGs like Zelda BOTW and Final Fantasy series!
I’m just an amateur author and a passionate reader. After reading so many great stories, I finally decided to write down all the ideas and worlds that have been building up in my head. I often thought, “How amazing would it be if I could give others the same satisfying feeling I get from reading those great novels?”
Since I’m still learning, there may be mistakes along the way. I truly appreciate honest feedback, and I will need your help to make this story even better. I’m open to suggestions and willing to work hard to improve.
Just a quick heads-up: the early chapters lean more into slice-of-life. The main plot isn’t fully revealed early on.Or you could say none of it shows at all. It stays hidden beneath the surface until the end of Volume 1, which acts as a long-form prologue and lays the foundation for what’s to come.
Volume 2 starts with a few more lighthearted chapters before the real adventure begins.
While it begins lighthearted, this story isn’t just about humor and slice-of-life.There’s something deeper underneath, I just like to take my time with the worldbuilding.Hope you enjoy the ride!
⚠️ Content Warning:⚠️ Some of the jokes might not be for everyone. If something doesn’t suit your taste, feel free to brush past it.The plot unfolds gradually over many chapters, and while it takes its time, I hope your patience will be rewarded with a satisfying payoff. ❤️
⚠️ This story blends absurd comedy, chaotic POVs, and occasional emotional gut-punches.
Also, about the title:Technically, “die” is the singular word for one dice, and “dice” is the plural form. collinsdictionary.com: In old-fashioned English, ‘dice’ was used only as a plural form, but now ‘dice’ is used as both the singular and the plural form.
I chose “dice” because it simply sounds better.If I had used “die,” the title would’ve been “I Was Reincarnated Into Die” which honestly sounds like a tragic poetry anthology… or someone’s last words in a bad translation.
I know it’s bending the rules a bit, but hey... I figure authors get a little wiggle room when it comes to naming things, right?So… let me have this one.
Another example, “the dice” is mentioned multiple times throughout the story.If I kept using die, I think it would genuinely break the reading experience. For instance:
“Next time... Dice Tournament. You’re going down, bro.”VS“Next time... Die Tournament. You’re going down, bro.”
The second one feels like a deleted scene from Saw: Final Edition.
***
“You idiot dice-brain! That was NOT the time to attack!”VS“You idiot die-brain! That was NOT the time to attack!”
Now it sounds like the character is a dying brain cell struggling to function.
***
“Who am I? I’m the Dice. That’s all you need to know.”VS“Who am I? I’m the Die.”
Okay, Death Note. Chill.
***
“Dice, don’t fail me now!”VS“Die, don’t fail me now!”
Classic villain line before pressing a self-destruct button.
***
“The Dice of Fate chooses. You roll, and the world answers.”VS“The Die of Fate chooses.”
Now it sounds like a cursed relic that eats souls.
***
“By the luck of the dice, guide my fate!”VS“By the luck of the die, guide my fate.”
The second version feels like a necromancer just lit a candle and summoned a ghost accountant.
***
“The Dice has spoken.”VS“The Die has spoken.”
Sounds like it’s written in blood on a fogged-up mirror while the lights flicker.
***
So yes, I’m totally bending the rule, but it’s for rhythm, clarity, and tone.It’s easier on the eyes, smoother in dialogue, and fits the chaotic, absurd, emotionally explosive style of the story.
Thanks again for giving it a shot!Any feedback, review, or adding this to your favorites/library means the world to this little “Dice”! 🎲
