Chapter 1

A man waited for the walking signal to go green. He was quite doubtful about his life choice. All this time he had been slacking off to his family including other people. He played video games, reading light novels and manga all his life and now with nowhere left to go and no work. The man was in a state of chaos, overthinking on how to solve this problem.

His name was Edith, 25 years old, no occupation, and homeless. His black hair was messy, his breath and body odour were stinky, and people who smell it would get far away from him. Not only that, he was shirtless, people would say he’s crazy but deep down he’s not. He only depressed about his situation.

The people around him began to move but he didn’t. Edith waited there for a while before walking. Then he heard someone shouted at him.

“Look out!” The man yelled and time pause.

Edith looked at the man who was dressed in a suit. His eyes were wide, jaws dropped and the people next to him and behind him, closed their eyes, others sprinted toward him, some looked away. Then, the time resumed, and a loud horn echoed behind him.

Edith, with his eyes wide, eyebrows raised, and lips shut closed, turned around and in front of him. A truck swallowed his view. Then, the truck hit his body.

His bones broke, his skin tore open, blood spilt everywhere, and his body went up to the air before crashing down on the hard black pavement of the road.

“Someone got hit! Call the ambulance!” The man with the suit yelled.

“G-Got it!” an onlooker took out his phone.

“Is he going to survive?” a woman voiced her question.

“L-Look at his wounds.” a woman stumbled with her words.

“Mommy, mommy that man go shoosh to the air and bam on the road, can he do it again?” a child asked his mother.

Edith tried to breathe, but the more he breath, the slower it got. His heartbeat began dropping, and his vision was deteriorating. Then, his vision became dark. The voices from the crowd became inaudible.

Edith in his last breath shouted these words inside his head. Give me a second chance!

His field of view was filled with pale white light. Then, as the light subsided, three being seated on their chair, they were on top of a cloud. The one on the left, had a black hood on and had no face, the one on the right was a being with elegant beauty and life, but the one in the middle had a stern expression.

Edith has his eyes scanned his surroundings. There were multiple people, some were old, others were young and some of them were close to his age.

“What’s going on?” A lady who was dressing in an elegant white gown stepped forward and asked the three beings. She had short hair and had a stern expression.

“We will get to that shortly but first, let me welcome you to our realm,” The black hood being welcomed us.
