《Breaking Chains》Revised Prologue Part 1

Revised Prologue part 1:
I am staring at a blinding light in the blank nothingness, otherwise known as the void. Why am I staring at this blinding light or why am I in the void? It all started on a Planet known as Earth. This planet has 60 minutes in a hour, 24 hours in a day, 36 days in a month and 13 months in a year. I was born on the year 1313, 13th month, 13th day, 13th hour, 13th minute and finally the 13th second. Have you ever heard 13 is a unlucky number, well its true. Ever since I was born I had the worst luck ever.
My name was Kail Baker, I was born to a prostitute in the red light district and was thrown out the day after. I was taken in by an orphanage and was soon later adopted by abusive parents. Even though they abused me every day I still loved them since they took care of me. One day they were assassinated by loan sharks because of a debt, which I had to inherit. I had to work every day after going to school to get enough money to repay the debt and support myself. Because I was ugly and had bad metabolism the loan shark boss's son who went to the same school as me, bullied me every day at school which made me a loner. He also didn't let me get good marks in school in both academics and athletics.
Even though I had bad luck, was very ugly, had a bad metabolism, and had no talent in anything; I never gave up or got sad, since I knew if I did I would starting falling apart. I never wanted revenge and only looked ahead with bright thoughts. In my free time when I wasn't working or studying, I practiced martial arts. Training everyday in ways which would make people want to suicide, I eventually got to the peak in all the martial arts on Earth. Never slacking off on school, I studied like no tomorrow, and learned how to survive in the wild; examples such as first aid and how to make a shelter. Although I worked most of the time, I eventually mastered and achieved black belt in all martial arts. Since I practiced martial arts and studied hard, I got fit even with my metabolism, and was smart enough to get 100's in all subjects if not for the loan sharks son.

Making money was hard and I had to work in many retail stores, they were pretty much the only people I talked to other than the loan sharks. The other workers and I weren't really friends, but we didn't hate each other. Money from working in the retail stores barely sustained my needs.
Now back to how I got to the void. I was in the last month of high school at the age of 17, before becoming an apprentice since I had marks thanks to the loan shark boss's son. On a normal day for me, I was out jogging with a sweater , since it's early winter, early in the morning when I heard a girl scream. I looked towards where the sound came from, a dark alleyway. I went closer to the alleyway, leaned against the wall to inspect and listen to what was happening without being caught. Don't get me wrong, I'm not those heroes from books, tv shows, manga, anime, etc; I won't go around saving everyone or forgiving people from their crimes. Being ruthless is not a problem for me but rape is something I despise.
Peeking around the corner I saw a girl say "Why are you doing this to me!"
" Bitch shut the fuck up, before I rip that tongue off. Mich get a rag and put in her mouth, I don't want anyone hearing her moans when we have fun. Hehe." A bald man with scars on his head says with a lecherous face.
The person who I am assuming is Mich says "Yes boss!"
The girl screams "NO, don't rape me please, I'll do anything!" while trashing around while they put a rag in her mouth and ripped her clothes.
That was enough for me to know what was going on, I found a broken pipe to side of the building and took it to fight with and ran in. The thug boss noticed me first and screamed "Attack!" to his lackeys. They charged me, I ducked under the first lackey and hit him on the neck knocking him out. Then I hit the next with the pipe, sending him into the others running at me. I fought the others and didn't notice the thug boss bring out a gun.

"Motherfucker wanna die!" He points his gun at me and tries aiming.
Everything around me slow downed and I relied on instinct at this point. For some reason I was abnormally calm which let me react fast, I threw the pipe at him hitting him on the arm making him drop his gun. Noticing that it worked, my perception of the surrounding returned to normal. I was a little shocked but I recover and charged at him. I grabbed him by the collar of the shirt, punched him a few times and threw against the wall knocking him out cold. The slowed perception shocked me, but I quickly realised what it was. It was slow motion perception, it occurs when you're in a live-threatening situation.
After making sure all the thugs were out cold I went to the girl who had her clothes ripped, I didn't know what to do since I didn't interact with people much. Thinking about what to do for a while, I took my sweater off and gave it to her asking " Are you ok?" in a soft voice trying to sooth her while I took the rag out of her mouth.
She didn't answer and still looked terrified, pointing to behind me, I turned around only to find out a massive hand was coming down from the sky and a furious voice screaming " You keep ruining my fun, so you shall die you little ant!" The huge hand descended at a speed faster than sound creating a sonic boom, smashing into me. I then blacked out, which I knew meant I died. Then I appeared where I am now, the void. After, what I assume was a few minutes , a blinding light appeared before me.
