It was 18:50 12/11/2220. And it was at this time that a man had died, in his own one room apartment to … a Gate.
In this reality- much to the dismay of those in our time, like how back to the future was incorrect about their future of 2020 -there are not hyper sci-fi realities, in fact were it not for Gates humanity would have long since perished.
To understand how we must focus on what these gates are. They are similar to interstellar gates due to a scientific phenomenon known as wormholes.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, our protagonist Oliver Bands, this is an average person and unlike many others of his type, is not a neet. He lives in the UK, part- time artist and full- time physicist, He lives a decent lifestyle and can do what he loves on the side, he has a fine life. Until, he gets sliced in half by an unluckily appearing 'Gate'.
However this gate sucked his soul in and he was in front of a heavenly creature, a God …
