The Face of a man, he was shocked, sweating, and
paralyzed with fear as a young man stood right behind him with a terrifying smile.
"How did you get there!!"
the man exclaimed while trying to look behind him from the corner of his eyes. The young man, in a deep, assertive voice replied
"Stop moving before I Ki....."
"Hey kenshin, you there or what? I am still talking to you, you know?"
Kenshin, looked disappointedly at his friend still sitting in his room, "Oh, You are still here Ray?"
"Don't go fantasizing while I am still here dude."
"Yeah fine fine, So, what were you saying?"
Kenshin and Ray were friends since high school, now in separate colleges, but still managed to hang out every now and then. Ray was one of the very few friends Kenshin had and by far the closest, also he'd managed to proselytize Ray into a full-fledged otaku. That was a pretty big sense of accomplishment for Kenshin.
Ray knew the answer already but still in a skeptic tone of voice and with complete honesty asked anyway:
"Are you coming tomorrow to that little reunion thing our high school group is planning? I told you about it earlier."
Kenshin looked at Ray with a teasing smirk and rejected the idea, making the excuse of not wanting to be seen with a closet otaku.
"Ouch, that hurts my feelings. If you don't stop acting so cold to your one precious friend you are gonna end up in hell man"
At first, Kenshin nodded in agreement, after a moment's silence he continued:
" At least I won't be alone there, Mr.Satan"
They both shared a silence before giggling to themselves, as a huge figure of a bearded man, somewhere, smiled gritting their teeth, in an ominous way.

"Man, It's really late...." Kenshin thought to himself as he walked back from the departmental store.
"Ahhhhhh" a loud screeching reached his ears which sounded like a woman. As he walked and peaked in the back alley he saw a street mugging taking place. He was surprised, something like this had never happened around here before, it was not the quietest part of town for something like this to happen, but he managed to keep his cool.
"I shouldn't make any noise and take the other route if I wanna be safe. That robber looks rather desperate...."
But it was too late the restless robber spotted Kenshin from the corner of his eye, he was scared that someone was peeking at them. In a frantic way to save himself from this shadow, the scared criminal ran towards Kenshin with the knife he was using to threaten his prior victim. In this hurry, he lost his balance and fell down atop the startled Kenshin.
"I...didn't mean... I... SORRYYYYYYY!!!"
The robber shouted as he began running away from Kenshin who'd been stabbed by the knife.
"*Pant Pant* Is this it.... Mom, Dad, sorry I guess this is what I wanted, huh? But I am so scared right now. It hurts...so much. Isekai; is there a chance..?...yeah right, heh"

When Kenshin woke up, he found himself alone in an empty void of a place. He couldn't even see or feel his own body, it was as if his conscious was separated from him. He noticed a colossal 'thing' not so far away as if it were right there, to begin with. Suddenly his conscious, as if being pulled in, started drifting towards this 'thing' which now seemed to be a door the closer Kenshin got to it.
"What's happening here, wait I was stabbed... right? Is this the afterlife? Woahhh!!!!"
The enormous door didn't open, he just passed right through the middle of the two doors as if an insect moving through a fine crack in a wall. Inside, in a huge room was a table and on the chair beside was an elegant looking man, probably in his late 20s or early 30s. With really long, silver-colored hair, this charismatic person, seeming like royalty at first glance in his white robe looked straight at Kenshin as if reassuring him that whatever he was seeing was indeed reality. Kenshin continued to be pulled towards this man, but this time he stopped resisting out of fear.
As he reached near the man the man rose from his seat and greeted Kenshin with a hand gesture.
"Well, I understand this overwhelming confusion in you but you need not worry I shall provide you with the answers you seek. Well, a few of them at least. However, we can keep that on hold. For now Kenshin...."
He continued while narrowing his gaze:
"Welcome to hell! ".
