Ashen one

Mark was you average freshman high schooler at midtown high. With average grades, looks, and physical prowess he was a dime a dozen. The only un average thing about him, however, was his height. With short black hair and standing at 6ft6 he towered above most of his piers. If not for the fact he was such a natural klutz, the basketball team would have done their very best to recruit him. Unfortunately for him, the bullies did their best to remind him of that with a ex professional basketball player for a father. Raised by his mother, Olivia, after the passing of his father at the beginning of his freshman year he thought that his year couldn't get much worse than it already was. He would soon come to regret ever thinking those words.

Waking up on a Monday like any other Mark begins to head down stairs for breakfast when a migraine begins to assault him. Brushing it off as nothing, he goes about the rest of his day of torture at school. As one day turns into 2, and 2 turns into 4 the migraine continues the progressively get worse until he suddenly collapses on day 5 following a burning sensation coming from his chest. Rushing him to the hospital Marks mother almost collapses under grief as her child has fallen into a coma in the hospital.

To the outside world Mark was in a vegetative state, but to him he was experiencing a world shattering meeting. In front of mark stood a glowing black mass, that when mark reached out to touch after a longing sensation begin to over take him suddenly fused with his body awakening something. As a pain unlike any other begins to slowly tear apart and regenerate Mark's body a voice rang out inside his head.

"In the age of ancients the world was yet but barely formed, the world was much different from it is today. The olden gods helped build and shape that world. However that world has came to ruin after many years. Fear not however, due to the nature of the world that is but one of many cycles the world takes. And with each cycle there must be a Chosen Undead to protect and rekindle to flame. In this cycle, it is your turn to take up the mantle of that role as THE ASHEN ONE."

As the voice fades away marks body begins to undergo a transformation. His body begins to heat up rapidly as his muscles begin to be reformed and refined to perform the mission the voice has assigned him. As the transformation begins to stop a screen appears before Mark's vision.

Looking through the new information that has been given to him, a slight pain begins to echo through his head causing Mark to wake up. Coming to, the first thing he notices is his mother slumped over in her chair asleep. Not wanting to wake his mother just quite yet so that he can really digest all the information he has been given, he begins to sort through the displays appearing in his vision.

After a few minuets of playing around with it Mark manages to sort it all in a way that reminds him of using his school laptop. Deciding that is enough playing around his taps the menu for the starter kit activating it.

After thinking over for awhile, Mark taps on the spell sword class. As a rush of information appears in his head explaining spell casting, he notices what was the starter kit tab has been replaced with inventory which has been filled with the armor and weapon of the class he just picked. Seeing that the time is still only 4A.M., he decides to give the training room an attempt before letting his mother know he has woken up from his coma.
