1 Ch.1 Let the games begin.
It's cold, it's dark. My body doesn't respond to my commands. I think I'm dead. I don't know how I died. "Is this afterlife?" I asked in a sad voice.
"Poor child, don't you despair, Death is not the end." Answered a sweet voice.
Suddenly my body starts to get lifted from the ground and I am facing a little girl. The girl is small around 145cm, you can say she is petite, she is covered in black clothing and her body is pale white, and her hair a dark blood red that reaches to her ankles and crimson red glowing eyes. She looks at my eyes and I feel fear, panic and desire. Desire to be able to be of use, of being acknowledged. Fear and panic to be discarded.
"You don't have to be afraid, I will not hurt you. You are my favourite." Said the girl in a playful tone.
I asked her in a fearful voice."Who or what are you and where am I?
"You are in Limbo, a place in the between of Hell and Heaven, where the souls of people who haven't earned enough merits or demerits to move on, staying for a chance to be reborn and have a go at life again. And for who I am, I am the mother and goddess of Vampires. As for a name you can call me Bloody Mary or Mary. I doubt that you could pronounce my true name." Answered Mary in a calm manner.
"So, I did die...how did I die?" Mary: "Stabd in a mugging, you died quickly without pain. The police did apprehend the mugger and he's serving time if it makes you feel better."
Me: "Why did I not go to Heaven....or Hell?"
Mary: "You are a rare person, who has never done too many sins or good deeds. Because of your choices. Your alignment is neutral.
You lived on 50/50. Newer living life fully. We make mistakes and learn from them and live with the knowledge. But you have been avoiding any serious life choices without living. Mary said.
Me: "Ok so why are you here". Getting a bit angry for been accused of being not spontaneous or not living my life correctly.
Mary: "Well, I need your help. Short story, I and other gods are in competition for power. For the last few millennia, we have competed in different competitions. Last time Lucifer won he got a Tv show and a Church of Devil. So he gets believers and more power. He even became the main actor."
Me: "Wath was the task last time?"
Mary: "Collect all Pokemon in PokemonGo."
Me:".....Sooo what is this times task?"
Mary: "Send one person to a different world and depending on who gets a better score at the end of life, that God will be crowned the winner. And I'm chusing you as my own champion."
Me:" Do I get a choice in the matter?"
Mary: "Yes, be my champion or stay here for ....200-300 year's until they get you reincarnated."
Me: "Ok I agree to be your champion. So now what."
Mary:" I'm going to make you a new body."
Me: "Aha will I get powers or cheats?"
Mary:" Better, you gonna get a system of Vampires"
Me:" Like the Vampire the Masquerade."
Mary: "Yes, and more, but you gonna work for it."
Me:" So when are we going to start?"
Mary:" Now, but with which clan you want to start."
Me:"...Il chose Toreador."
Mary: "Good choice, I hope you are ready because it will hurt."
Mary starts to move closer to me and undressing my shirt which was bloody. She moved to my chest and started to lick. The moment her tongue touched my skin I
scream in pain. Looking down I see skin ripping apart and blood flowing out of the scared area. If I would be asked to what does it feels like, it feels like sandblasting skin with a sandblaster. (It hurts like hell and leaves a scar.)
After what felt like an eternity of pain she bit her hand and dripped her blood on my chest and it started to heel itself. As it heals I see the Toreador symbol. Blood-red roses with thorns. I started to feel tired and began to lose consciousness. After some time I awoke to see myself in front of a large mirror and I'm a bit shock of my new appearance. In the mirror, I see a tall man nearly 187cm, dark brown hair, well developed 6 pack not too much muscular all around the body, pleasant looking face and orange shade eyes. I ask in disbelief."Is that me?"
Mary to my side."Yes, do you like your new body?"
Me: "Yes, but he looks a bit younger than me."
Original me being a 22-year-old male.
Mary: "Well you are now around 16 years old so you don't have to wait for long periods of time to get to the action. Enjoy puberty. hehe, he."In a lively chuckle, she said.
Mary:" You all your life we're afraid of risks and consequences, without making mistakes you didn't live, now you have the power to learn from your mistakes and face consequences without fear."
Me: "Ok, I think I will try to make it work this time.....thanks, Mary."
Mary: "Well you are my champion if I don't set you straight I would lose the competition. And besides, it will be fun to watch you grow. Do you have any questions?"
Me: "Wher are you sending me, will there be others and do I have specific tasks to accomplish?"
Mary:" I'm sending you to an alternate Marvel's Univers. And you're going to be alone without different Gods representatives. Simply live how you see fit and the system will help if need be."
Me:" Okay, I'm ready to go."
Mary lifts her hands and in a flash of light, I disappear from Limbo.
-Location-New York City
- The basement of Trinity Church
Kingpins men and the local thugs are at a gathering underneath the church surrounded by several stone coffins and wooden boxes. Armed and ready to get to the point of their meeting.
KPThug: "Gentlemen I'm happy to see you here in such large numbers of people who are willing to work for the Kingpin and to get paid."
Slight chuckles from gathered men came.
KPThug:" But I have some bad news and good news. The bad news is that some of you got tagged by the NYPD while you were doing your initiations. Arson, robbery and good old fashioned extortion. They have evidence of all your activities."Several men started to make a commotion in fear of getting arrested and charged with the crimes that they committed.
KPThug: "I understand the pain you went to pass this test, believe me, I have been in your shoes, but we don't leave our men to dry. So the good news." Cople of KPThugs brought in 3 heavily injured police officers and dropped them in the middle of the room.
KPThug: "Here we have the brave and bold officers who spend night and day to get the evidence and records of your activities which I have read and I have to be honest some of your methods wear admirable even to promote some to gang lieutenants." Everyone started to glare with a wicked eye at the now frightened police officers. Until one of the policemen started shouting at the tugs."We will get out and every one of you gonna spend a lifetime of jail time. Our superiors know where we are and are on their way."Hering that the KPThugs started to laugh at the officer.
KPThug:" Of course they know where you are, they gave us the information on you all. Know that we are going to take good care of your family after the celebration party. Here is a small demonstration of what is in store for you."The Thugs took a couple of blunted weapons and started to smashing and hitting one of the police officers. One of the officers starts screaming for help and to stop the beating of his partner. But to no avail.
KPThug: "Do you honestly think someone is going to save your sorry ass. You are in an old church that belongs to the Boss and there is no way to hear anything from the outside. Or do you think that some of these stiffs are going to help?" The KPThug jumps on one of the coffins (actually a stone sarcophagus) and starts to bang it with a crowbar while laughing at the officer.
-In the coffin- Couple of minutes back.
I started to awake from my slumber and I'm thinking I'm in a sarcophagus. First, how to get out, I try to push the lid off. It's too heavy to move it off. Will I be stuck in this God darn sarcophagus for eternity?...

As I hear a ding sound in front of my face opens a red screen with golden letters and to my left-hand side, I see my characters full body photo. The photo shows I'm dressed in tattered and old rags. And in golden letters.
