"Fuck you!" I snarled at the man mugging me. He chuckled as he pointed a pistol at me confidently. Even if I yelled for help none would come. It was currently the middle of the night.
"I don't think that's the thing to say in this type of situation. Just toss over your wallet carefully and leave." The man smiled under his ski mask preventing me from identifying him.
I looked around for a possible escape or even cover to cower behind. The long and dark alleyway we were in provided neither solution though. I grit my teeth and slowly moved my already raised right hand down towards my right pocked.
"That's it, nice and slowly. You don't want to end up with a hole in your head, do ya?" He sneered mockingly at me, seemingly enjoying the situation at hand. 'Damnit, why is my luck so shitty? I only wanted to take a shortcut home from work!' I thought to myself, angry at myself for doing something so stupid.
"Not a situation you thought you'd find yourself in, huh? Trying to take a shortcut home?" He asks grinning, the anger on my face evident. Slipping my metal wallet out of my pocket I slowly start lifting it up. My anger reaching a boiling point.
"Fuck you, you asshole Jawwed douche bag." I yelled as I wound up my arm in an attempt to throw my wallet at his face.
BANG BANG BANG
The shots echoed through the night as I fell over as pain assaulted my abdomen. 'Fuck Fuck Fuck! Why did I do something so stupid?! I dont want to die!' I thought over and over again as the masked man walked over to me.
"Ya know, this could have been avoided. Now your just going to have to lay there to die." The man grinned showing a row of putrid teeth. "But ya know what? Maybe you wanted to die. See'in as your not screaming for help." I gurgled up blood in an attempt to curse him out, but the pain was too much, as I passed out.
------------
Silence permeated the vastness of the dark void. Then within came the sound of a thud and millions of multicolored glowing orbs began to form from thin air. All neatly organized in rows and columns around the body.
------------
"Ugh..." I groan and roll over. 'It's cold, where are my blankets?' I reach around and shuffle my feet attempting to find my blankets.
"Wait? Where are my blankets?" I say aloud as I open my eyes to discover I'm not in my bed, much less in my room. "HUH?! WHERE THE HELL AM I?!" Shoutng curses and scrambling to get up I wirl around, frantically observing the space around me.
"Where am I and what are these lights?" I calm down seeing no one around. "What's going on?" I mumble. I tried to think back and remember what happened.
'That's right, I was being mugged. Then that asshole shot me. Am I dreaming or am I dead?' I think that last part curiously, having already watched and read hundreds of isekai anime and manga. I slap myself. To my surprise, I felt nothing, not even my hand touching my face! 'Truly, what is happening and where am I?'
I look around but see nothing but blackness underneath me, the dark sky, and the multicolored glowing balls of floating light. I walk toward the closest one to me, a pink orb, and study it. I don't touch it however; afraid of what it might be or what will happen if I do. It doesn't really do anything besides float there though. Even after working up some courage to wave my hands around it.
Walking and looking around some more, I discover there are many, different colors. Colors I haven't seen before and can't explain having seen them here or on earth. I don't even think human eyes could even see these colors in the first place! I also notice they are very organized, and from my perspective, are equal distances apart.
I don't know how long I was Walking around and admiring the orbs and colors for, but I eventually got bored. "I wonder what would happen if I touched one?" My bad habit of talking to myself aloud revealing itself. "Should I even touch one? Should I wait for someone... or something to happen?"
I walk over to one of my new favorite colors, one I hadn't a name to, but my curiosity winning out. Reaching my hand out and within a few centimeters from touching it I hesitate. "Will touching these actually do anything?" Steeling my nerves and my premonition of a bad feeling, I touch it.
Suddenly, I feel limp and white fills my vision. Completely unaware of what was happening next.
