Chapter 1: Prologue

(MC POV)

D-Damn, that hit like a truck. Oh wait, it was a truck. I knew that people who get to meet ROB have to go through an accident but nobody told me I would still feel pain even after I was dead. Like where is the logic in that? Anyways I guess this is the time where I recollect all my memories before meeting the big guy himself huh?

Well, lets start. My name is probably not important due to the current predicament I'm in so I'll just think about my life. I was just your everyday 18 year old who just finished high school and was planning to attend college next fall. Due to me being short, I was often bullied and teased throughout school causing me to find few friends that I could actually talk to. I mean, it wasn't that unpleasant due to me being a natural introvert so it didn't bug me as people might expect. One day I was scrolling through the internet and came across a cartoon but it came from Japan. I was bored out of my mind that day and decided to check it out. I still remember that it was that one click that changed my life which I thought was for the better. I mean, the animation was superior grade and the plot wasn't like any show or cartoon that I had currently watched. I later found out that the cartoon was called an anime and that there was an ocean of genre that I could choose from. I especially enjoyed the anime's Attack on Titan (AoT) and My Hero Academia (MHA) as they had a great plot and didn't go on and on like some anime did. The fact that ordinary humans can get special powers and change their lives amazed me, making me daydream what if all those powers were real and what I would do with those powers. Revenge due to my bullying wasn't really on my mind as just like the powers and body type you see in anime, if you were special you got them and I just got the short end of the stick.

(Authors note: I hate that I unintentionally made a pun)

One thing lead to another and that's where I started reading Manga further on into fan-fiction. Reading that ordinary people like me could go into these worlds got my blood boiling in excitement and my imagination went into overdrive thinking of the infinite possibilities that could be done if I was sent to one of those worlds. But, as it said in the tag of the novel, it was fiction. There was just no way that it could happen and even if it did, with my luck I would have to stay in this mundane and boring world for all my life and die naturally where I might even forget those plots. Like I mean, what's the point in reincarnating in an anime world without your past memories? Back to the story, yeah so that's how I spent 5 years of my life, watching anime and reading fan-fiction with the occasional studying for school. After I graduated high school, I was going to stay and watch the new anime that came out this year but my parents just had to force me to go outside and take a walk. I was still in a happy mood of having no school and didn't want to ruin it so I decided to listen to them and get some fresh air. The weather was great, kids were playing, couples were going on dates much to my envious eyes, it felt like life was finally showing me it happy side (minus the couples). I decided to sit on a nearby bench and just absorb the joy and happiness in the atmosphere when I saw a kid kicking the soccer ball in the middle of the street. Just as I was thinking that this type of scenario seems familiar, the kid ran onto the street to get the ball. I looked at the street subconsciously to see any oncoming traffic but I didn't see any which cleared my doubts that this is not the same scenario I was thinking of. I decided that I've had enough of resting and decided to resume my walk when suddenly I heard a blaring truck horn. I had a fear at the back of my mind but when I looked at the street where kid was at I was struck frozen. Much to my horror, my fears were were growing true when I see a blue truck with red flames on it dangerously close to the kid. I didn't even think and ran to the kid attempting to save him somehow knowing that his future cant end here. You guys must be thinking that its the old cliché where the guy pushes the kid out of the way and he gets hit instead. Well from reading so many fan-fics I decided to pull the kid into my embrace trying to save to both of us which I miraculously did. I was about to take the kid to safety when I hear another truck horn and turn my head right only to see the a black and silver truck bumper and inch away from me and finally I see black. And now we are in the present where I am somehow still feeling pain as a soul body quickly contemplating and recollecting what happened.

I hold my now see through body still wondering how the hell I am still feeling pain when I am dead. I suddenly think of the kid in my arms and quickly try to look for him to see if he came here with me as well. After looking and somewhat floating around the black space where I am now in for about an hour, I finally concluded that he didn't come here with me and I sighed in relief.

Now that the pain is slowly going away I decided to just wait for ROB or God, whatever he would want to call himself. As I was waiting I decided to think about some random things.

Hmm...…I wonder how my family would react to the new that I am dead, I guess they would grieve but I'm not too worried as my younger brother is still with them and I feel like he would do better things in life than me.

Suddenly I see a light that made me feel like I was next to the sun itself glowing in all its intensity. When the light dims down I see a floating golden orb trying to light this pitch dark place only to reveal more darkness.

Hmmm am I in space or something? Is this a star?

['No young one you are not, you are in the soul realm where I decide where to place you next'] Said a voice suddenly appearing in my head.

The voice startled me, I quickly look around me to see if I can see the one whom I was waiting for. I tried looking up, down, left, right but still got me confused since I couldn't find anyone.

The voice started to chuckle as it was witnessing my actions.

['Young one, try looking at the golden orb of light that's in front of you'] chuckled the voice as I slowly came to realization.

I blushed in shame as I thought it was stupid to look around me when clearly the most suspicious thing around me the orb of light.

['Haha, Young one no need to feel embarrassed, it's not every day you talk to an inanimate looking object such as myself so its fine'] said the voice as I sighed in relief thinking I almost made a fool of myself in front of whom I'm guessing ROB (Random Omnipotent Being).

I started to reexamine the ball of light with interest as I now know it's the ROB. All in all, it looks like a normal ball of light. No mystical runes, no divine aura, just a ball shaped light.

Say, Are you ROB or God or do you go by a different name?

['I do have a name but it is said in the divine tongue and as you are not trained in it it could explode your soul, so unless you wanted your soul exploded I wouldn't suggest it'] said the voice

Damn, well what are names for yeah? I'll just call you ROB.

Sooo...I'm guessing your here either to send me to heaven or hell?

['Oh, since you've read those fan-fictions on Earth I thought you would have wanted to reincarnate in an anime world. After all, you have been daydreaming of a situation like this for 5 years straight right?'] asked ROB as he was genuinely confused that I hadn't asked for the third option.

Well what can I say, I thought those with insanely high karma points or with ultra high luck could be given that offer. Me...…I'm just a normal person who the only interesting thing I did in my life was to save a child's life. By the way, whatever happened to him after we were hit by that truck?

['Oh yeah I forgot about that, its been around 100 years since then in human time. The time in the void goes very slow so an hour here is equivalent to hundred years there. After the truck crash the potential in his mind was unlocked an he became a super genius that pushed human tech 1000 years into the future and made a grand name for himself. He is on his deathbed right now as his descendants are all worrying about him.'] said ROB nonchalant.

I stood, or more like floated there speechless.

I mean, I indirectly pushed human tech to its limits right?

Then it hit me that I needed to ask about my family if it been 100 years then I must have nephew's and nieces or maybe even grand nephew's or nieces.

['Ah yes your brother was also devastated when he heard about your passing, even though you always fought he thought of you as the closest family member so one could imagine his state once he heard the news. But eventually that did him good as he finally bucked up and pulled his shit together and started to finally study. He also unlocked his potential and aided the previous child in improving earths tech. Exciting isn't it. Get this, due to his good looks he created a harem of super models and has over a 100 children!! Looks like he was living the good life HAHA!'] ROB laughed when recollecting my brothers life story.

I once again floated there speechless. Then I just sighed.

Well, good for him I guess.
