As Kain drives back home, he doesn't have a nice car—just something reliable to get him from point A to point B. It's a 15-mile drive that he's made hundreds of times, so it's usually uneventful.
When he arrives at his small one-bedroom apartment, no one is there to greet him, but that's nothing new; he hasn't been very good at maintaining relationships. He eats a pre-made meal, watches some anime, and then goes to bed. This is his routine for five days a week.
On his days off from work, he goes to a local laundromat to do his laundry and shops for groceries. After that, he returns home and spends the rest of his time gaming and sleeping until work starts again the following week. He has been living this lifestyle for five long years.
After 5 years of the same thing over and over you become numb to Things around you and that is exactly what happened to kain today, he was doing like always just reading a book and waiting for his shift to end but today was slightly different because he was reading a new book; he was quite captivated by this book so he didn't pay attention to the sound of a rod snapping from the punch press. The projectile flew straight into Kain's chest, on the right side. He could have easily avoided this if he'd just been more careful, or if he'd moved a little to the left. This wound wasn't enough to kill him instantly. Kain was lying on the floor bleeding out in the worst pain he had ever felt. It was a mix of stabbing and. burning his mind couldn't even fully process what was going on. He looked around and saw that his phone was also destroyed thanks to him holding it when the rod snapped.
Despite lying in a pool of blood and yelling loudly, the noise at the manufacturing plant drowned out his cries as everyone wore earplugs. He remained in that position for another 3 hours until someone eventually discovered him. He was in a state of semi-consciousness and did not extract the rod from his chest, as it had not completely penetrated and had stopped at his shoulder blade. They rushed him to the hospital where he went into surgery and sadly didn't make it. The company he worked for labeled this as employee incompetence led to his death.
Kain closed his eyes for the final time on Earth, only to be jolted awake by a sharp pain in his stomach. As he looked around, he found himself in a grimy alley lined with dilapidated buildings—if one could even call them buildings. Suddenly, a blue interface popped up right in front of him.
Welcome Kain to the Regeneration system
Kain just looks at it with a blank expression, unsure of what to think.
Let me start by introducing myself I am your Ai Assistant Just call out system to give me commands
Kain believed he was either in a very realistic dream, possibly a coma, or that the drugs the hospital gave him were working a little too well.
Kain This is real you have been selected to be reincarnated to this new world where things you once believed impossible is possible here.
Kain looks around, thinking that he has definitely lost his mind. With an attitude, he asks, "Okay, if this is real, then where am I?"
You are in an alley.
Kain... yeah, no kidding. So where am I, in this world? A city, anything? At this point, Kain was even more convinced that this was just in his head.
You do not meet the requirements to know what planet you are on.However, the city you are in is called Fort Hope.
Ok I have for sure lost my shit
Nurse! Nurse! Someone should be able to hear me. I can see people walking back and forth outside the alley.
