Reincarnated into A Video Game!?

My name is Y/N L/N, and my life wasn't a happy one. I'm age 17 been in and out of hospital's since I was 10 fight illness's that ravaged my body, which slowly with my already low immune system, I developed Cancer on my liver. That was my life constantly in and out of doctors offices, in an out of hospitals for treatment. I was mostly homeschool, to much stress I was told, so unlike my brothers who went to school and had friends, I had... No one. I was a lonely child, a lonely teenager.

I eventually beat cancer, my family celebrated, I finally started to grow my hair back out, finally started to go outside, there was even plans for me to go to a actual school. I was 14 when the cancer came back, but in a different part of my body and a different type, we caught it earlier than the other. This time I had Leukemia, a cancer in the blood forming tissues. It made my immune system ten times worse, and the rest of my life I spent mostly in the hospital.

This cancer stayed for years, even with treatment, i couldn't be around other kids because of my parents fear I'd get sick and end up dying, that included my older brothers. I met them once a month, they stayed at a respectable distant during visits, and even during the times I went home they stayed away. I was gifted a video game console by them, they figured we could video game together, I was thrilled.

Video games became a outlet, I also got to know my brothers much better, I hung out with them over game chat more than I've ever hung out with them in years. When I turned 16 my parents and doctors stopped doing random spots of radiation treatment, instead tried new oral pills, that make me just as sick. They worried about my body, frail and sickly I always was. My parents just wanted me to feel better to get through this just as easy as the first once but... This cancer wasnt the same, they couldn't just remove a section of my liver like that did, this was different, hung around longer than the first, this was in my blood and tissues.

I was gifted a video game called Baldurs Gate by my older brothers in my 17th birthday, they had shit eating grins when they did, telling me it's DnD styled game. DnD is something I've always been interested in, so I was excited. They wouldn't tell me anything and told me to just go in blind.

Oh boy did I go in blind, wasn't expecting i could choose my own.. genitals. I also wasn't expecting nudity filters, which was confused why that existed. I of course didn't ask my brothers I just played, created a teifling Bard, purple skin, yellow eyes, small horns with a golden metal on them and played. I put so many hours into it, I fell in loved with this game. I felt freedom through a screen! I didn't realize it also had romance until I stumbled upon a scene with a handsome wizard offering me to show me something in the Weave. Seeing romanced options I heavily realized quickly why their was a nudity filter, there probably be sex, lots of sex.

It was a theory I still didn't stumble across a sex scene. I fell in love with every character, from the flirtatious vampire with a hidden agenda, to the ambitious wizard who got his heart yanked out by a goddess, to swords man who made a deal with a devil for power, a huge red teifling that was hot to touch, quite literally, to a dark haired beauty with a bit of attitude, and a green skinned woman that was a warrior and rude at first glance.

Each character was amazing, it was hard to choose who to romance, it was at this time the cancer was stage 3, and the kemo started back up again, the pills didn't help, if anything made it worse. I was back in the hospital, my heart long gone again, vomiting up food I couldn't keep down due to nausea. At this time I was.. just so tired.. I wasn't going to pretend I was oblivious, I seen the bills piling up, I seen my brother instead of going to college went straight to factory and we're helping pay for treatment.

Seven years of my life wasted with sicknesses and cancer. I just.. was so tired. But how could I tell my parents I.. just wanted to go home, to hang out in person with all of them? Go outside, run around experience what I can before the cancer takes me out. I... Ended up writing notes, for each of my family members, each explaining my feelings, my love for them, how I wanted them to stop living for me and instead live for themselves. Seven years is a long time, and I.. didn't want to drag them down anymore. I wasn't blind, I knew the treatment was expensive, insurance paid so much. I was just so tired, sick of feeling sick, I wanted it to end.
