Black, Then Black Again.

"L-Look out!" A woman screamed at me, I looked at her with just a thankful expression. Well someone cared for me at my last moments at least. A loud sound of a gun being fired echoed in the spacious chamber of the bank, and following it came a bedlam of screams.

At just age 16 I, just an average boy died due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hah, I was just minding my own business and just came to help my elderly aunt to make some bank transactions. But no! that would be too easy I guess. A terrorist group just had to attack the very same bank that I was in.

Really, I hate my li- 

Oh, can't say that now I suppose. 

Then everything blacked out.

—0—

Huh? Where am I? 

I opened my eyes just to be greeted with darkness once again. Adjusting my body I stood up, struggling. My body was aching very obnoxiously. But fighting through the pain I observed my surroundings.

I was in an alleyway it seemed like. Was this what heaven looked like? Heh, probably considering my luck, it's more likely to be hell.

A source of light - the only one here - captured my attention. The hell?

------------------------------------------

Holy crap, if I am not going insane then I have actually been reincarnated! this is too unreal. But Marques Jester? that's not my name. Wait, why can't I remember my real name? What else do I not remember?

I tried brainstorming for a minute or so but couldn't remember anything other than my last moments and strangely, all my factual knowledge. If that's not oddly convenient.

Still, what's up with the weird skills? 'The One Who Strikes Justice'? 'The Vigilante' and the roles too are just as weird!

'Servant'! 'Vigilante'! what the fuck! I looked down the screen, at the bottom showed the effects I have right now. 'Fatigue' and 'Hunger', no wonder my body is so sore right now and my stomach practically a running track for rats.

Well shit, I don't know what to do. This is too far from normal for me. Why couldn't I have died and stayed so; like everyone else!

.

.

Hah, let's look around I suppose, perhaps I can get some help. As I started to slowly walk towards what could only be deduced as the entrance of the alley, I heard a whimpering sound coming nearby from me.

The first and foremost thing I noticed though, was the place I was in. From the structure of the houses and shops, the city - or town - was surely one from a medieval times. A very generic setting for a reincarnation by whatever entity placed me here.

As I walked the empty street that I had appeared in, I saw a figure of a man, leaning to the wall of one of the buildings, I couldn't exactly make out the person clearly because of it being night. So, slowly I strode over to the person.

It was a man in his early adolescence, possibly 20-25, he had brown hair and was holding down a flesh wound on his stomach. He appeared to be in a lot of pain.

Shit. What a mess, I was in no condition myself to help another person, though the man was clearly way more worse than me. Seems like he hasn't seen me yet, I should probably leave, maybe I could direct some other person to help him.

I was about to leave when a screen accompanied by a ding sound appeared before me.
