"Where am I"
Hiro is wondering about the place. It has a pitch black sky and endless ground. He tried to stand up but he felt something was strange.
He can't feel both of his hands and legs. He tries to struggle but he has no strength to move.
"Wait, what happened to my body?" he asked while he was trying to raise his head to check his current state.
After a few seconds Hiro suddenly felt dizzy and he fell asleep. deep enough to call slumber.

"Huh did I fall asleep?" Hiro muttered he sighed and answered his own question "Indeed I am"
He tries to look around only to find out that he is still in the same place where he fell asleep.
" Finally you're awake" a voice of a young lady called out Hiro's attention.
"Who's there?" he asked
A young lady looking down on his face making Hiro realized that he is still lying on the same ground so he tried to stand up and to his surprise he did.
"Wait, am I dreaming?" he asked as he can recall he has no arms, legs and half of his stomach is missing.
" No you're not" the lady replied.
"Where am I? and who are you?" He asked the
The young lady walked away and said " You died a while ago or let say a few years ago since there is a time difference between the living world and the Middle Realm"
Hiro tilted his head in confusion wondering what the person next to him said.
"Huh?" a short reaction came from his mouth since he cannot understand everything.
The lady looks at him and says " try to recall everything before i give you a short summary of the situation"
Then all of the sudden he recalled everything and he said "Where is my sister?"
The lady again looked at him and started to discuss the situation.
" You died due to an explosion during your attempt to save your sister, your body was torn into pieces"
"You are currently here in the Middle Realm also known as (Purgatory) where dead being held until the final judgement applied" she continued.
" You fell to slumber for almost 15 years if you compare the time in the world of the living"
"Your body is in bad shape, but since your soul is still intact you did not perish. But due to the unexpected event one of the God's cleaner trying to eat you but the result is different as it could be. Since you don't have a magic core and you have a high spiritual power your soul devoured the Muk the highest kind of slime that only God can produce instead of you being devoured. That answer why you are completely healed" she added.
"And it turns out that you are granted a special privilege Due to your kind hearted effort of protecting people without hesitation in your past life"
"What do you mean?" He asked the young lady..
"The God of your world made an agreement with God from another world to give you a second chance, but not in your world instead you will live a new life in a new world you even know that exists, and to your luck there' another privileges added, you can keep your recently repaired body and your memories of your past life."
"By the way I am Cer the Goddess of this Realm" Cer replied.
" And your Sister?? hmm how can we put this. uhm.. I guess it's for you to find out"
"As soon as you arrive in Etheria that's the name of the planet you're about to live from now on you must come up with a fake idea about your origin"
"Thats why you need to study and collect information about Etheria upon your arrival "
"In that world magic and powers do exist it is a mixed creature planet and the rest is for you to discover"
" Wait, what in the world is going on?" he asked. and instead of answering his question Cer replied "Goodluck Hiro from now on you will live as Hiro Raito"
"Raito?" he asked
"Yes, Raito as in light in your past life"
The whole area turned into white and a wave of light emitted while Cer appearance gradually turning into a transparent figure but she never missed to give him a sweet smile.
Hiro blocks his eyes with his hand as the wave of light continues to flow towards his direction.
After a few seconds the light was gone and Hiro opened his eyes and he was welcomed by a soft breeze and the sound of water crushing into something.
When he fully recovered from a blinding event Hiro finds out that he was transported to a shoreline he is currently standing in a beach full of white sand and a forest on his back.
All of the sudden Hiro started to think about his current situation and all the things that Cer told him. A new life, he is about to live a new life, he is still puzzled and wondering on how he can survive in this new environment.
On a second thought he felt relieved and somehow happy knowing that he was given another chance to continue his life.
