My name is Kirk Evans and I've worked an office job since the day I graduated from highschool. You may be wondering, how does a fresh highschool graduate land a cushy office job with a window and subordinates? And the answer to that is nepotism. Not from my family but from my Girlfriend's, well ex girlfriend now. We broke up about a year ago and ever since then I've enjoyed this job less and less and increasingly felt like an outsider.
Most days I find myself in a daze, dreaming of a world where I can realize my ambition. I've always admired the great leaders of the past like Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan. Not for their achievements but for their position as great leaders of humanity. I had a dream, to unite a divided continent and lead my people to prosperity. Instead I sit at my desk and lead people to great coverage at low rates.
That was until the fated day my soul was called to a world that needed a hero to lead them.

"KD Cross Insurance, this is Kirk speaking."
"Ok… I just got a letter from my insurance company saying they are dropping my insurance in two weeks??? WHAT THE FUCK MAN??? It says it's for wildfire but I don't even LIVE anywhere near a fire area. I can see the freeway from my bedroom window! For fucks sake you need to fix this ASAP or I WILL move my business to another broker and let your boss know it's all your fault."

"I hate this job"
Freshly 21 and I've spent 1/3 of my adult life in these four walls under the fluorescent lights, dealing with adult babies. At least now I get to enjoy the best part of my day, lunch! It's pizza day in the office which means two large pies from mountain mike's will be here any minute! If it weren't for those mouth watering hand tossed chicken club slices of heaven, I would have passed from this world long ago.

That must be the delivery man! As I stand from my office chair and head to the door I feel light headed, I must be even more hungry than usual. I reach for the door handle and pull it open. There's a blinding white light on the other side and I feel an intense pain in my chest as I fall to my knees.
This can't be happening. He's right there, my Italian savior is waiting for me but my vision is fading. I look up briefly as my eye lids become heavy. I see not our usual delivery man but an angelic face. A hand reaches down and cups my face and a voice calls out from the center of my mind.
"My dearest Kirk, your potential has been wasted. Now, you shall be reborn in a world where greatness is demanded, not avoided"
