Life before rebirth. (Prologue)

His name is Thor and I know what you are thinking but no. His parents gave him the name of the strongest God of the pantheon they believe in. The hope that a strong name would give him grate strength. Though that was just the beginning of their efforts to make him the strongest. Besides his name his parents spent a fortune on training and surgically augmenting him to super human levels. Though with grate strength came immeasurable suffering. From a young age Thor suffered painfully horrific mutilation in the name of science and strength.

Now Thor numb to the chronic pains and emotionally exhausted from the suffering he's endured. Lay on his bed as a husk, his parents looking down at him with disappointment apparent on their faces. His mother would turn to his father and while shaking her head say. "Such a shame the vessel was perfect but it seems we are missing a variable. His mind couldn't take the strain we put him through. He has survived the procedure do we still keep it." The father would shake his head and respond ."No at this stage we have all the necessary information to succeed. Though not as strong as this one, we will be able to succeed in the next attempt." His mother would nod then look back at Thor. Feeling a shriveled warped sense of maturnal care she'd ask. "What about the boy? He is 10 we could put him in your brother's orphanage." His father would shrug not really caring what happened to Thor he'd speak dismissingly. "Make the arrangements if you want."

With that the 6,4 tall 10 years old freak of nature Thor was moved to the orphanage. The next few days Thor spent sitting in silence the joy faded from his eyes. When one night the youngest foster sibling Suzie went to his bed. At first he dismissingly glanced at her and was about to turn his back. When Suzie spoke up in a sad sobbing tone. "I hand a bad dream... I'm scared can I sleep with you?" Thor would look at her. His heart would feel an urge to protect her as purpose returned meaning to his life. Glancing again to see Suzie's pitiful snot and tears soaked face. Thor would let out a sigh and lift the blanket for her to crawl in. With a groggy yet comforting tone Thor would reluctantly say. "Fine get in here and go to sleep." In an instant Suzie would stop crying and crawl into the bed. She'd look up at Thor having heard his voice for the first time she'd nuzzle into his chest and fall asleep.

The next morning Suzie would wake up to fined Thor treating her like a napping cat. Not daring to move till she got up on her own. Once he saw her wake up he'd grab her as he stood. Tucking her under his arm like a stuffed toy he'd take her to brush her teeth. At first she'd protest but with the life returning to his face Suzie would let Thor take care of her like an older brother. Over the next few days, with the help of Suzie and his other foster kids Thor came out of his shell. Then his uncle, the foster father signed him up for school while also giving him life lessons to make him a better person.

One day the foster kids got on the bus for school when disaster struck. Thor noticed the bus driver stomping the brakes. They didn't seem to be working and the bus seemed to be picking up speed down the hill. Thor in the last moments saw Suzie stand out of her seat to grab her pencil that she drop. Then bang as a the bus crashed into a car at the intersection. However Suzie was safe as in the moment of collision Thor dove in shielding her with his body as they were launched through the windshield. Glass scattering across the pavement as Thor's body hit the ground and grinding to a holt leaving a blood trail in his path. Slowly letting go of his hug he'd look down to see an unharmed crying Suzie. With a smile Thor would pat her head to comfort her.

He'd put on a gentle smile as he sat back up. The skin on his back stretching tightly against his muscles as the little glass shards got pushed out from his skin. "Look Su we are ok see your fine not a scratch." Suzie would stifle her sobs and wipe her tears after realizing she isn't in pain. Then looking up at Thor she'd grin cheekily before hugging his waist. However even with all Thor's surgical enhancement and training he couldn't stop the bleeding. Soon the paramedics arrived and began tending to the other children. No fatalitys yet but many were seriously injured. Thor would look at the car accident then at Suzie and letting out a sigh he'd pick up the tiny girl. Walking back to the bus he'd have the paramedics look at Suzie. However he'd refuse treatment till everyone was taken care of first. With the few months he spent at the orphanage he developed a personality. He grew to care for his foster kids and with guidance from the foster father Thor learned empathy and kindness. Suddenly feeling his life slipping away he'd stumble a bit but keep himself upright. Looking around he knew there were still many children who needed help. He knew if he were to collapse now it be a distraction from rescuing his other siblings. So with all his effort he stood upright and crossed his arms locking his muscles into place he look at the wrench. His vision blurry from the blood loss he'd think his final thoughts.

"I wonder what the afterlife is like. Jacob says we reincarnate but that dork has a few screws loose from all the anime he watches. It's a shame I can't finish watching Made in abyss with him... If I get reincarnated I hope I'm more cuddly haha if only I could be a hollow like Nanachi. Actually I wish I'd come back stronger than I am now, maybe I should reincarnate as a robot like Reg. I'm delirious from blood loss what am I talking about." As his thoughts wrapped up a mysterious deity saw Thor and read his final thoughts and wishes. Unbeknownst to Thor the god granted his wish and allowed him to die and reincarnate in the world of Made in abyss.

Meanwhile with the incident wrapping up a paramedic finally went to check on Thor. At a distance he looked fine a smile that reassured everyone he's ok and to take care of the other kids first. In the beginning he refused treatment till everyone else was treated so they let him be. The paramedic would see this yet still feel uneasy. With everyone else taken care of she'd call out as she went in his direction. "Hey kid everyone is taken care of are you?!" Just then she got close enough to look into his smiling face and she his dead cloudy white pupils. The paramedic gasped stubborn to the end and worrying about everyone else first. Thor died standing with pride, a big heart warming grin cheekily reassuring everyone that it will be ok.
