Where it all began

"You're dead," the girl said between yawns. I stood quickly got up and analyzed my surroundings.

"What do you mean I'm dead?" I asked looking around the very vacant white room. There was nothing in this room. Nothing except me and this girl laying on a bed.

"Well I made a mistake you see. I was supposed to kill the man beside you but, I miscalculated a little and the bullet got you instead," the girl explained, making me even more curious as to what is going on. Suddenly a blast of pain hit me in my chest. I felt my organs rip open and my breathing labor to the point of me barely being able to breath. My hands quickly went to my chest to search for anything that might have gone wrong and to my surprise, my hand came back coated in my blood. I look back up to the girl who just waved her hand all bored looking. As soon as she did it the pain all went away.

"What just happened?" I asked completely out of breath. My breathing became very hard and I started whizzing.

"That's your body being killed off on earth. Don't worry, you saved the everyone and stopped the robber in time for him to get arrested." the girl said between yawns again, "I gave you a true heroes death and all that as a way to make up for my mistake."

Still recovering, I struggled back to my feet. A true heroes death. Maybe I wouldn't have needed one if you hadn't made the mistake in the first place I thought pissed off. But still, nothing could be changed now. What's been done can't be undone.

"So where am I supposed to go from here?" I asked finally able to recover from the pain. I watched as for the first time the girl actually seem to be not so bored or sleepy. She straighted up and scratched her head.

"That's a good question. I suppose because I did make a mistake, you should be given another chance and all. I'd feel really bad if you were to just be sent to the afterlife without living your full life and all." She said as if she was contemplating something. I stared at her puzzled and confused but decided to say nothing. I stared for what seemed like hours, or you could say hours for I have no concept of time in this room, before she finally snapped up.

"I know! What if I just reincarnate you into a different world. Something cool like with dragons, monsters, magic and all that other cool stuff you humans always fantasize about." she said slamming her fist in her hand. I opened my mouth to say something about the fact that I just realized I was in purgatory but was immediately cut off.

"I can grant you an ability. I'll have to convince the Gods of the other world but I'm sure they'll be more than happy to have someone from another world over. Might even make things interesting over there." and with that she vanished. I stayed there confused, horrified and awed at the same time. I'm in the bridge between the land of the living and the afterlife and I have the option to get reincarnated. It pleases me greatly to know that I saved a lot of lives but knowing that I get to live again makes me even more pleased. As if on cue, the girl reappears.

"I've sorted some things out with the other gods and they've all agreed on taking you in. You have the option of one ability to bring with you into the new world so choose wisely. And make it quick too it takes a lot of power keeping you here" she says laying back down on her bed.

I rack my brain trying to figure out what the hell to pick. My brain ran through ideas like being immortal all the way to trying to push the limits like in the animes and becoming a demigod of sorts. Maybe being a strong magic user would be cool.

"Hurry up." the girl rushes me forcing me to think even harder.

"I can't just take something without thinking about it. Why can't you help me choose?" I yelled.

"Shouldn't decisions be easy for you humans?" she asked curiously. Not bothering to waste my time answering her, I went straight back to thinking.

"Just think of your favorite thing and go off that." she suggested.

"Well I would except for the fact that you can choose what you want when it comes to food. You can choose what you put in food and what you get out of it." I said as I paced back and forth in the room. I was about to go back to thinking when a menu popped up in front of me.

"Looks like your time is up Mister. Before you go you have got to tell me your name." the girl said as a black portal opened up behind me.

"It's...." before I could finish my sentence, I was sucked into the portal to my new world.
