Why Did You Summon Me?

Imagine being forced to live, after death, as incorporeal bodies trapped in a vast space of nothingness for thousands of years, with nothing to do but exchanging past memories with other cohabitants (read: weirdos). Everybody wanted out, but there was no way to leave the Void... Until one day, a young man was finally summoned, as a powerful but reluctant mentor, by a bubbly and motivated but completely naive young girl. Baiyi, finally out of the Void, was the only one who could save all of the other 32 souls from their prison and his summoner might just be The Key to their freedom. However, Baiyi had to use the techniques and abilities the other souls had taught him throughout the years, and together with his own extensive knowledge of anime and game tropes from his shady and dangerous past as an otaku, to face the biggest challenge of them all: training the clumsy young girl he was forced to partner up with… into a competent sorcerer!

To be honest, the "fib" that Baiyi told the visitors from the Church was far closer to the truth of the Cleric's journey than the legend contained in the Church's doctrine. According to the Church, the Cleric had entered the Abyss alone, armed with nothing but his indomitable faith, and slew demons as he traveled, rescuing humans who had been enslaved by the demonic tribes, and delivering the dead who found themselves locked in the Abyss. These dead were basically souls filled with so much hatred that even the demons refused to eat them, branding them beings as hostile as malicious ghosts.

Yep. It was basically a myth on its own.
