In a dark void, which seemed to have infinite space, you could see a light. This blue light appeared similar to a candle flame as it flickered and seemed to blow out at any moment. If we look closer, we will see that light was actually a person. He appeared to be six foot 2 inches tall, average looks, short hair. This figure was see-through with no corporeal form, meaning he was nothing but a spirit. This spirit was now in a sitting posture as it floated in the void.

???-"Where the hell am I? Why can't I feel my body or anything around me?"

After noticing the lack of feeling in his body and limbs the spirit looks around and notices the endless void he was currently sitting in.

???-"What's going on and why am I here? What was I even doing before I ended up here?"

Thinking back, the spirit remembered who he was. His name was Damien Shade. He grew up in an average middle class family with loving parents and lived in the United States of America. He grew up watching all kinds of Heros on Tv. But when he got to high school he was introduced to the world of anime and watched countless series. But even though he watched a lot of anime he never forgot his love of the classic heroes in Marvel and Dc. watching a lot of their movies, tv shows and a few comics online. After graduating high school he spent five years working hard to get his bachelors in mechanical engineering, nearly finishing the last few courses he needed for his degree.

That leads us toward the last few moments that Damien remembers before he wound up in that endless void. It was finals week and he only had one more exam to finish before he was done with /university life at the age of 24. He was frustrated that he had spent the last two weeks studying for the five courses he was taking this semester to the point that he couldn't even watch any of the updates of his favorite anime, and some shows on MCU.

Waking up at 7am for his last final that begins at 9am, Damien struggles with exhaustion after weeks of running on 2-4 hours of sleep a day just to make sure he could cram and review everything he could for these exams. By the time he finally made it on campus it was already 8am so he had a bit of time to destress and relax as he leisurely walked to the classroom. Being exhausted from the lack of sleep and stressed from the week of exams, this was a perfect moment to unwind for a bit and clear his mind. As he was getting ready to cross the street he noticed that there was a car speeding down the road that was about to hit this woman in front of him.

(I know what you're thinking. The cliche save a damsel and get hit by the famous truck-kun. But this isn't that type of story)

He drops his bookbag and begins to sprint across the street to push the woman out of the way of the speeding car. Just as he was sure she was in the clear he noticed how close the car is to hitting him so he jumped as hard as he could. After barely getting past the car he lost his adrenaline rush and his exhaustion hit him all at once. Losing all strength, Damien stumbled and fell forward on the curb and fell head first. Hitting his head on the curb, Damien opened a huge gash on his head and cracked his skull. The young woman who was just saved looked over to her savior to thank him, but instead saw him in a puddle of blood. Seeing the huge puddle of blood the woman screamed, causing a huge commotion.

Damien- *This is what I get for trying to play the hero after watching too much anime. I hope this isn't the end.*

The pedestrians nearby run over to see what the commotion is all about, some calling the police and some trying to help stop the bleeding, and some just standing around to record everything. Some time later an ambulance pulled up and started moving toward Damien.

Damien- *Finally the ambulance is here. Hopefully they will be able to help me. It's already starting to get cold.*

Having a few moments of consciousness on the ride to the hospital he can hear the paramedics talking about his chances of survival, and let's be honest here, they were slim to none. Wondering if this is the end he closes his eyes for what he thought would be the last time.

----- Back to the Present -----

After thinking back and remembering his life and his final moments, Damien begins to look around once more. Paying closer attention to his surroundings Damien begins to think about his current situation.

Damien- *This dark space is seemingly endless. It almost seems like those afterlife, between worlds, type places in many different anime that have been popular recently. Next I'm probably gonna be talking to some "being of higher power" about reincarnation or something.*

While thinking that Damien begins to hear a mysterious voice in the surroundings, seeming to come from everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

???-"Not some being of higher power, but The God of Creation. And I'm not here to talk to you just about your reincarnation, but that is a topic for later."
