Jason was eager to tell his girlfriend about this new discovery but kept it to himself before she thought he was a fraud.
However, he also didn't want to give her false hope, this was something he had said numerous times already in the past.
The first few times, she believed him but after that, she became indifferent and Jason couldn't even blame her.
He had caused this reaction, he didn't want to return home right away without testing out these jokes.
He went to a local bar with his phone in hand, the bar went quiet because they recognized him right away. He didn't know if it was hatred they felt or something deeper.
Jason was nervous for the first time in a long time because this time, he actually had expectations.
He looked at the crowd and realized for the first time they entertained him not because he was funny but because he was the exact opposite.
"I know most of you must have seen the video by now," Jason began and he could tell they were waiting for him to say the next stupid thing.
"No one likes attractive people, they all assume we have it easy. Like we get all the girls…" Jason said, pausing before shrugging.
"... Which is true. But having the girls isn't the same as pleasing them," Jason said and he could hear a few chuckles from the crowd.
This was already a career high for him but it was a bar where half the audience was drunk.
"This is why I question my virgin status till date. I never got enough in to consider it penetration," Jason delivered the punchline and the crowd actually laughed out loud.
Jason couldn't believe this, his face lit up and the rest of the night went by smoothly with the crowd laughing harder and harder with his joke delivered.
He was done in an hour and the crowd actually applauded him.
"You made us laugh? The world must be coming to an end," one of the men said but Jason didn't care at this point.
The only thing on his mind was going to tell his girlfriend, Anna, about it.
This was progress but he didn't plan to tell her about the source of his jokes.
-
Jason returned home later than usual but noticed the air had a distinctive smell, it was perfume but one he wasn't familiar with.
"Hm, did Anna get a new perfume?" Jason thought to himself but this was a reflection of how much he trusted her.
He walked into the room but he could hear sounds in the bedroom. Jason was confused about what was going on because that was no doubt the moans of his woman.
"The fuck?" Jason muttered under his breath before seeing what his ears refused to believe.
Someone was ramming Anna right from behind, Jason just sighed.
He didn't let them know he was there, he just left without saying a word.
He always wondered how Anna managed to stay so faithful, even using sex toys during their sessions but now he knew why.
She was never faithful but hey, at least he had new material for his comedy show.
Jason read a particular joke about a truck but he wasn't a fan of anime so the reference went right over his head.
That was one of the few jokes he left out, he had to check the Reddit thread for new material, hoping it had been updated.
But he was on his phone when he was crossing the road, it was a red light in his defense.
A driver had fallen asleep behind the wheel and before Jason could look up, it was too late.
The truck rammed into him, there was no way he would survive such an aggressive collision.
As he laid dying on the pavement, he realized he was the punchline all along.
"H…eh… I-I get the joke now," Jason muttered under his labored breath before passing away.
-
Jason opened his eyes but there was something off about this entire thing, he looked around and found himself in a tall grass field.
A cyan screen appeared without warning and Jason stumbled, his buttocks hitting the ground firmly.
"What the fuck is that and where the hell am I!?" Jason was frightened and rightfully so.
[Ding!]
[Compatible host found!]
[System calibrating…!]
[Calibration complete!]
[Name: Jason]
[Age: 27]
[Race: Human]
[you have been rebirthed into a world of monsters!]
"Monster what now?" Jason muttered under his breath but knew this was something straight out of a comedy show.
"Yeah right, monster my as-!" Jason paused upon realizing the system might be referring to the monster between his legs.
"Well, hello there," Jason said with a smirk, satisfied at the head looking right back at him.
The first order of business was a change of clothes, but it was clear the universe had fixed whatever mistake it had afflicted him with during his creation.
He looked at the cyan screen again and noted it had said something about rebirth.
For some reason, he felt taller than he was in his previous life but his body was leaner, he could only imagine it was this way because he hadn't eaten anything.
Before he knew it, his stomach reminded him of that fact and Jason didn't think much about the predicament he was in but instead, what to fill his stomach with.
But before he could take in his surroundings, the ground began to shake.
"Earthquake?" Jason muttered under his breath but looked up to see multiple things running towards him, he thought it was a stampede of animals but the moment they got closer.
He realized he had seen none of these creatures in his entire life and why the hell were they salivating so bad?
"I have seen this script before and I'm not about to go out like Mufasa!" Jason barked before trying to move out of the way but he soon realized this wasn't a random stampede, these creatures were after him.
Jason ran and ran, the beasts were closing in fast and he was already out of breath because he was starving.
But luckily, Jason saw a forest ahead and knew even a stampede of whatever this was would have troubles moving in such a condensed space.
The moment he entered the forest, they all stopped in their tracks and Jason smirked, amazed by his quick thinking.
But the creatures, they looked frightened, Jason began to swing his cock around like a rotor to mark his victory dance.
However, a looming shadow appeared behind him as he muttered under his breath.
"It is behind me, isn't it?"
These were the last words that came out of his mouth before being knocked unconscious.
