So, Picture this: I'm just doing my thing, walking down the downtown streets, trying to survive the morning hustle to get to school. Name's Mark, by the way.

So, I'm lost in my own world, probably thinking about the latest video game or whatever, when out of freaking nowhere, this skateboard comes flying at me like it's got a personal grudge. Spoiler alert: it didn't come in peace.

I try to pull off some Matrix dodges, but let's just say I'm more Clark Kent than Neo. Next thing I know, I'm kissing the pavement, and not in a good way. "You gotta be kidding me," I groan as the world fades to black.

As I slowly regained consciousness, I found myself in a trippy black, white, and blue dimension, butt naked and utterly confused. Seriously, could this day get any more bizarre?

Just when I thought things couldn't get any crazier, a voice echoed through the void, sending a chill down my spine. "Naked and dead, kiddo. Tough break," it remarked, dripping with equal parts sarcasm and doom.

I couldn't help but freeze, my mind racing with a million questions. "Alright, spill it. Who the heck are you?" I demanded, my voice a mix of defiance and unease.

As the mysterious voice materialized into a figure before me, I was greeted with a sight that nearly made me forget my impending existential crisis. This dude—Izanami Sol—was like a walking ad for protein shakes and squats. I mean, seriously, talk about fitness goals.

But before I could fully appreciate the view, reality came crashing back like a ton of bricks. "Did you just say dead?" I blurted out, feeling the color drain from my face.

Izanami's laughter echoed through the void, sending chills down my spine. "Oh, sweetie, your death was just too good," he chuckled, his tone dripping with amusement.

I felt like I was about to hyperventilate. "This... this can't be real," I stammered, the panic rising within me. "I had a test today. And I never got to finish playing Close Laugh 6..."

Izanami's laughter echoed through the void like a bad sitcom on repeat, and let me tell you, I was not amused. After what felt like an eternity of being the butt of his joke, I finally had enough.

"Alright, buddy, joke's over. Are you done yet?" I interjected, my irritation palpable.

To my surprise, Izanami's laughter gradually subsided, replaced by a look of genuine appreciation. "Ah Mark! Haven't had a good chuckle like that in centuries," he confessed, wiping away a metaphorical tear.

I raised an eyebrow. "Centuries? Seriously?" I scoffed, trying to wrap my head around the idea.

But before I could process the implications of his statement, I bombarded him with a barrage of questions. "Okay, spill the beans. What is this place? Who are you really? And seriously, how did a freaking skateboard manage to take me out like that?" I demanded, unable to contain my curiosity any longer.

As the reality of my demise sank in, I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Izanami's attempt at humor. Despite my initial skepticism, the gravity of the situation hit me like a ton of bricks—I was dead. Like, for real.

I felt a heavy weight settle in my chest as I looked down, grappling with the realization. This was it. Game over.

But just as despair threatened to consume me, Izanami's voice cut through the silence, snapping me out of my funk. He placed a hand on my shoulder, his expression surprisingly earnest.

"Hey, don't sweat it," he reassured me. "Believe it or not, there's a silver lining to all of this."

I perked up, a glimmer of hope flickering within me. "A silver lining?" I repeated, my excitement bubbling over. "Wait, are you saying what I think you're saying?"

As Izanami's form shimmered with divine radiance, his voice resonated with an otherworldly authority. "Mark, heed my words. I possess the power to transport your soul to another realm—a realm where magic flows like rivers, and the forces of light and darkness wage an eternal battle."

I listened intently, a sense of awe washing over me. This was no ordinary offer.

"In recognition of your... Pathetic demise," Izanami continued, his tone tinged with a hint of amusement, "I extend to you the chance to embark on a new journey in this land."

I couldn't help but chuckle at his choice of words. "Pathetic, wow" I quipped, unable to resist a touch of sarcasm.

But Izanami remained steadfast, his gaze unwavering. "Furthermore," he proclaimed, "I am prepared to grant you four wishes of your choosing in exchange for your service in this realm."

Whoa, hold up. Did Izanami just offer me four freaking wishes? This is like straight out of an isekai anime! I mean, how cool is that?! I can't believe this is really happening to me.

Okay, okay, focus, Mark. This is serious business. I'm about to step into a world of magic and monsters, and I need to make these wishes count. No room for messing around here.

Magic, huh? That opens up a whole bunch of possibilities. Maybe I could wish for some awesome magical abilities or a badass weapon. Or maybe I should ask for something practical, like invincibility or infinite stamina. Man, the possibilities are endless.

But wait, Izanami's giving me a serious look. He's probably getting impatient. Better make up my mind quick. Alright, time to think this through and choose wisely. This is my chance to make a real difference in this new world. Let's do this.

As I laid out my wishes to Izanami, excitement coursed through my veins. This was my chance to embark on a grand adventure in a world of magic.

"For my first wish," I proclaimed confidently, "grant me an overpowered skill—one that ensures I have a fighting chance in any situation."

Izanami arched an eyebrow, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "Ah, how original," he remarked dryly. "And what shall we name this cheat skill of yours?"

"Simple," I replied with a grin. "As long as the odds aren't zero, I have the potential to achieve any goal I desire."

Izanami chuckled, granting my wish with a wave of his hand.

With my next wishes, I sought exponential magical power, a magical AI guide, and the ability to master any skill with lightning speed. Izanami granted each request with a mix of amusement and resignation.

But as the air grew heavy with anticipation, Izanami's expression turned serious. "Now, let us discuss the terms of our pact," he declared, his voice carrying the weight of ages.

And with those words, he unveiled the true nature of our agreement—to restore balance by defeating the Great Fallen Angel known as Kamiel, a menace that had plagued the land for centuries.

Izanami's bombshell left me speechless. "Seriously?" I blurted out, unable to believe what I was hearing. "You're pulling my leg, right?"

But as I locked eyes with Izanami, I realized he was dead serious. Pun intended.

"Why can't you handle this yourself?" I shot back, my frustration boiling over. "You're supposed to be a god or something, aren't you? Shouldn't this be your problem to fix?"

Izanami offered some lame excuse about not being able to mess with the natural order of things, but it sounded like a load of horse crap to me. 

I stared him down, my gaze unwavering. "So let me get this straight," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "You want me, a freshly deceased nobody, to take on this Kamiel dude? How exactly am I supposed to do that?"

Izanami's piercing gaze held mine captive as he uttered those ominous words. "Figure it out yourself," he commanded, his voice leaving no room for argument.

But before I could protest, Izanami closed the distance between us, pressing his lips against mine in a startling kiss. I stood there, speechless, as the weight of his actions washed over me.

As I struggled to comprehend the situation, Izanami revealed that he had bestowed upon me the divine blessing of Sol—a gift imbued with additional abilities, including the mastery of all languages, immunity to status ailments, and the occasional ability to commune directly with him.

"There," he said with a knowing smile. "That should aid you on your journey."

With a flourish of his hand, Izanami conjured an altar around me, preparing to send me off to the other world.

But before I could utter a word, Izanami fixed me with a solemn gaze. "Remember, Mark. Do not falter," he intoned, his words resonating with divine authority.

And with a snap of his fingers, I was enveloped in a brilliant light, hurtling through the cosmos towards an uncertain fate.

As I vanished from his sight, Izanami muttered to himself, "Do not disappoint me, Mark. The fate of the world depends on it."
