My name is Martin Cross, a 28 year old orphan, single but totally bored and apathetic of living on earth. How I wish I could be reborn to a magical world. I did not know of my parents and grew up at the Orion orphanage.
I grew up learning mixed martial arts at the nearby dojo, as there was nothing much to do in the orphanage. I still go to the dojo to spar from time to time. I also read novels and other assortment of books and info online since I was young, as I'm kind of a bookworm on all facets that catches my interests.
At the age of 16, I was asked to leave the orphanage but they at least assisted in finding me a job where I started as crew on a fast food restaurant. I'm now an accountant after finishing my degree while working part time. I'd say my income is quite good but is still meager compared to the wealthy ones as I still need to work instead of relaxing at home reading my favorite novels and other assortment of books.
With nothing much to spend on my income as I don't buy more than the needed basic stuff and don't have much wants, I'm able to share some of the money to the orphanage I came from, as maybe thanks for raising me when I was a kid though not much could be noted about my life there. I also do some voluntary work at times and when I have saved enough money, I look for poor or helpless but deserving kids/families whom I can help even for a bit.
Don't think that I'm a good samaritan. I have killed 2 scums who tried to take advantage of a lady, murdered a serial killer and a drug lord, and robbed a corrupt politician in our area and shared the money to the less fortunate ones as usual. Luckily, I survived the ordeals but I almost got caught while stealing as the corrupt politician has a ton of security personnel making me unable to kill the trash. My stealth and martial arts capability saved me. I will surely do better on my next quest.
I'm no hero but I do what I can, when I feel I can. Having the money at that time, I enjoyed some of it myself and went to few places especially the ancient ruins and pyramids, scattered all over the world, which fascinated me quite a lot and wished to find a portal that could bring me to a magical place.
I'm a firm believer that, "THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THE WORLD CALLED EARTH AND MOST OF IT'S INHABITANTS!". When you look on a clear night sky, your view alone would have about freaking 100 Billion stars. Our sun is a star and your view alone has about 100 Billion of them and the vast majority of earth's people believe they're alone in the universe and laugh at the minority who believes other life and alien life are out there. How selfish way of thinking! The known universe is about 14 billion years old and the earth alone is about 4 billion years old. Our current civilization on earth just used up nothing but a teeny tiny fraction of time. An egyptian learned priest once told Plato, the Greek philosopher, that there were about 5 previous civilizations that got wiped out.
All over the world, a lot of caves have drawings of spaceships and aliens which were of eons old. Even paintings of recognized artists tell of them, like: The Baptism of Christ 1710, Madonna with Saint Giovannino 15th Century, The Annunciation with Saint Emidius 1486, The Crucifixion 1350, etc. The first man who walked on the moon, Neil Arsmtrong upon personally witnessing giant spacecrafts and knowing the facts when they did the real moon landing which were not shown to the public, had withdrawn completely from society and instead led a total solitary life as they can't divulge the complete real information.
There's a theory that we were not from this earth. We were seeded here and were genetically manipulated per current oldest known Summerian documentation written on stones. Those writers logically would not have made them manually and painstakingly all their lives if they were utter nonsense. Those Summerian gods or demigods were tragic stories as well with some similarities on the current books the world over, sometimes just placed on a different context like the great flood, etc.
The giants were real. Old and current unearthed giant skeletons were always forcefully seized and at times destroyed by the Smithsonian institute. Sample would be on 3 December 2014, World News Daily Report published an article titled "Smithsonian Admits to Destruction of Thousands of Giant Human Skeletons in Early 1900's."
After clearly tracing in one of very few of earth's superpower nation, 42 OUT OF THE 43 AMERICAN PRESIDENTS CAME FROM THE SAME LINEAGE UNDER KING JOHN OF ENGLAND, ALSO KNOWN AS JOHN 'LACKLAND'. America, with it's 'dollar' money standing on its own as the world's reserve currency and it's 'English' language considered as the most widely spoken world language, IS BEING CONTROLLED BY THE SAME FAMILY. They seem to believe they are royal descendants from the gods and are destined to rule over. Geez! Would we be surprised if the other superpowers are doing the same. No wonder why we live in a debt dependent and buried society.
The world appears to be controlled by a shadow government - watch the "Above Majestic" 2018 documentary. The wars were waged for money making, depopulation, and as form of sacrifice to their demonic god. People were nothing but indispensible pawns to them. The world's undercurrents are trying their best to hide slavery, human trafficking, organ selling, killing, etc. The world economy and money market are nothing but their playground - the 2008 financial crisis and previous great depressions were instigated and caused by them. Those different killer viruses and diseases that came out from time to time were created and instigated by them.
HISTORY IS NOTHING BUT WRITTEN BY THE VICTOR. The shameless conquerors and real killers can act benevolent and make up stories to show their righteousness. There's clearly something going on here and we, the ordinary people, were just kept in the dark and were just played around.
I could go on and on and on but I'd rather stop now. That's why I remained and chose to be single, as I can't bear the thought of having my children be born into a forsaken world. I may not be that handsome but I'm a kind of a bit above average on the looks department with some charm which netted me a few girlfriends. Though they ended up leaving due to different beliefs and my not planning to have children.

[[Martin's thoughts: Wait, am I not surrounded by fire? Why don't I feel the heat and I can't feel my body? Why is this place all white?]]
Suddenly, a majestic voice can be heard.
[Admin: Seems your conscious now. You died and you're inside my domain as a soul. I brought you to this place as soon as you got knocked out by the falling debris and your former physical body painlessly disintegrated as you entered this place.]
Martin is speechless as he is gazing at a benevolent and majestic looking old man.
[Admin: Speechless eh, then I'll do the talking for now. I brought you here to grant your wish of reincarnating in a fantasy world with swords and magic. I am giving you this opportunity as you are qualified and passed even my final courage test when you tried to save the last person against all odds though the said person was just an illusion and a method that I created which opened the portal that led you here. You have the spirit, character, and audacity I've been looking for. Inspite of the life and realizations you had, you still chose to build good karma and help others and punish those that are just vile.
I am what you may call god but technically I'm not, I'm like an administrator of 3 universes myself but not including the one you came from. The first is an advanced universe much like those beings that visit earth with high tech spacecrafts which you humans can't see, even if you're already staring at them. The second is a median one which has combination of science and fantasy but is very chaotic. The final one is a fantasy universe with a young world of swords and magic.
I can read your thoughts and amazement oozing out even if you're just a ball of light. I will give you some time to catch up and have it sink in. *Admin grinning*]
[Martin: "..."]
After some time.
[Admin: To continue, as you wish, I shall have you be reborn with your memories intact in a world with swords and magic that you long for. Because of your good karma, you shall be reborn to a loving family that you did not experience in your previous life. To which family, well, let's leave it as a surprise. I will not grant you direct OP cheats as that may bore me to watch but you will have an open blessing that will also be left as a surprise which I'm sure you would not be disappointed. I don't require you to do anything like kill the demon lord or anything of that sort. I just want to see what you will make out of your life in there.
If you want to become powerful, you'll need to work hard for it. But as a gift, I will give you an indestructible ring that only you can wear and discern. It will grow with you and will have a "Storage" space, a "Store", and a "Private Space" that you can use to train, cultivate, and practice your future crafts.
So, how do find this offer?]
[Martin: Y-yo-you're saying that I can live there as I want to, with no strings attached?] Martin stuttered as he still finds the majestic aura of the Admin stifling.
[Admin: Precisely! Are you satisfied?]
[Martin: Y-yes. Very much so. I hope to not disappoint your grace. Thank you!]
[Admin: Hahahaha! As expected, not greedy to ask for more and thankful instead. For that, I may throw in a few good surprises here and there.]
[Admin: I'll be sending you off then.]
*Whoosh!* Sounded as Martin's soul was sent to his destination.
[Admin: I hope you give this old man something worthwhile to watch. *Admin snickers*]
