Prologue

Death is a strange concept because no one knows what comes after death. A trail based upon your karma? entry to Heaven or hell? Or maybe a complete silence that tells you this is the end of the line. But what if you get another chance to live after your Death? What if you can preserve your memories? What if you were thrown into a superpower society, where every other day someone is trying to rule over the world or destroy it? Wouldn't it make a great story to hear? My Life story also has a similar plot, A little out-of-ordinary man died in Not so special world, Given a second chance to live and thrown into a chaotic world, where now and then world-ending threats appear only to destroy my peaceful life.

I am Arthur Pendragon, and Today I will tell you the exciting story of my 2nd life, where sometimes things go smooth, and sometimes horror, pain, and helplessness are the only emotions I have the luxury to experience. A complex Love also becomes part of this life at a given point in time and For f***s sake, it gave me some real headaches. I know, I know you guys must be thinking " This F…er surely got a harem and just want to brag about how magically he made it work ." Right? Wrong! Utterly wrong! That Thing was an even bigger mess than killing skyscraper size monsters barehanded. Even now, the memories of some embarrassing moments hunt me at night.

Well, Let's not talk about this now, as a good storyteller I will tell you about those moments, even if hurt my pride! So, make sure to stick to the end. Now when I look back there are many Instances I could have done better, maybe you could tell me if I was wrong or if I made the best of it!

Let's start with the final moments of my first life on earth. It was 19th Oct 2022. Nothing is going well for me for the last 2 days. I had a violent break up with my girlfriend, whom I caught cheating on me with one of her male friends. It was a hurting moment since it was only 5 days left for the 7th Anniversary of our Relationship. I cried for 3 hours straight this morning cause of the break-up, was late for work, which resulted in me getting shamed by the Seniors. It was troubling, since as a junior scientist in the department I can't talk back to them too much. It will only cost me my peace at work. They are doing it because of jealousy anyway because of my breakthrough on Cure for Cancer. They have invested far more in it than me as such their pride, but not having any result or recognition made them salty. Other than a little insult nothing more troubling from them, but what happened after that changed my life forever.

It was around 5 hours since I started writing my final thesis when one of my colleagues named Jhones came to talk with me. I still remember how he looked a little tense, sweat dripping from his forehead, when he said, " Arthur, You need to hide for the time being and don't stay near the windows. That's all I can help you, my friend ."

I was confused as to why he said that but before I could ask anything else he left in hurry. I was confused but looking at how serious and dreadful Jhones looked, I decided to turn down the certain windows of my workplace, which was on the 5th floor of the main office building of the X.Y corporation. It was that moment my phone rang, which distracted me because it rang the same ringtone I set up for my Girlfriend. I hurried to grab it, and it showed a message that I can never forget.

" HI, Arthur. I can't lie to you even though I put on an act just for that. I just want you to know the truth, I have Stage 4 Blood Cancer and only have a year to live. That's why I put that act so, you can hate me and ghost me. Then I don't have to confront you for any of this. But your reaction yesterday just took away all that intention of mine. I felt that telling you the truth will hurt you less than that. I am sorry, I am sorry, for all my foolish acts. I beg your forgiveness. I love you. please reply even if it's for the last time ."

At that moment felt every part of my being is crying and dancing at the same time. I am in pain after knowing she was going to stay with me only for one more year, but my heart is also dancing foolishly knowing she loved me as much as I did. I decided at I want to meet her, and complaint about every sec I spend in pain all this time. I stopped thinking at that moment and was about to type but, I felt something pierce through my head. A sudden headache and the next moment I was on the floor lying in the paddle of my blood. The only thing my body did instinctively was type "I am sorry." And click on send. After that my whole life flash through my eyes, My Home, Mom, Dad, My girlfriend, our Romantic moments, some rules, some misunderstandings. Tears fell from my eyes and I know I am dying, So with the last words of "I am sorry." My last breath fell and everything turned black, I lost all my senses.

Silence, an eerie Silence that's all greeted me, which I felt was my afterlife. My Mind could think but I cannot sense anything. This silence was making me very uncomfortable.

"Is this afterlife? I died, didn't I? Where is this? No, maybe I am saved and in a coma? Will I be able to meet Jenifer again? She must be in immense pain while fighting cancer right? Why didn't she tell me before? I could have been nicer to her! Why didn't she tell me before? WHY?WHY? JENIFER, WHY DIDN'T YOU TOLD ME BEFORE?" from confusion to screaming my emotions started to change. I realized I am losing my mind, I need to get a grip. But the pain, confusion, and fear of losing everything I had were clouding my mind.

It's then a bright light flashes in front of me, making the darkness disappear. I could vaguely feel there was a white Humanoid figure floating in front of me, It looked at me with its eyes and spoke, " My child, it seems you reach somewhere you shouldn't have. This is the Void. A Space is devoid of everything, but darkness is what regains supreme here. A mortal soul like you shouldn't be here. This may lead to unknown growth of your soul into something extraordinary, But that growth will destroy your mind as well turning you into a mindless beast. I, as the Overseer of this whole Chaos-verse, Cannot allow such dangerous uncertainty to exist."

Its majestic voice resounded around me, my thoughts become a complete mess. I wasn't in a situation to understand what that thing is taking, For that moment I only want to live again to meet Jenifer. I was hoping that I wasn't dead but in a coma or something. But who would know that it took something like this in a different meaning?

The Humanoid figure spoke again, "I can feel that you won't live again eagerly. Then to solve this problem and fulfill your wish, I will let you be reborn in a different world from before, with a few gifts and a suitable body to contain your special soul and keep up with your growth in the future."

That's all it took for me to reincarnate into an entirely new world filled with unlimited Chaos, fun, Dread, and Mysteries. A life that started with regard, but as they say "No Matter the Start, what matters is how it will end."

Now Then Let's talk about what happened next.
