Side Chapter: Origins

(Narrator POV)

[Earth:2021]

The Earth has been ravaged with a disease that has yet to be cured but that didn't stop the rest of society from continuing their daily lives.

Now lets go on to a specific individual in the state of Florida.....

There lies an apartment that looks normal on the outside but inside lies a room filled with a collection that would be considered sacred among those obsessed with the concept of anime.

From manga to posters, this individual is currently watching the latest season on seven deadly sins with the Netfilx app on his television that was recently released but the animation still looked inferior to the first three seasons well technically two but that doesn't matter since that is not important.

What's important is that this individual is none other than Henry Charles who would later on be known as Meliodas within his next life.

His appearance is average looking with a skinny build and black hair along with brown eyes. He can be considered a loner with little to no time making friends since it was already too late for him because no one wanted to speak with him no matter how much he tried to improve himself. And the people he would talk to in school would often forget his existence the following year and what's sad about this is that he's grown accustomed to being ignored to the point where his emotions are affected causing him to feel less and less each year that went by.

"(Sigh) another boring day as usual since Summer Break started not too long ago." Henry then pauses the episode he's watching as he decides to take a walk outside to get some fresh air.

Henry would spend his days listening to some music and at times watch some tv. And on occasion, he would exercise to hopefully fill the void in his heart since his parents are currently out doing their own thing as usual since their jobs often take away the time they could spend with him.

Walking outside, Henry breathes in the fresh air. "I just hope that if reincarnation exists, please make me be reborn as one of my favorite anime characters and I would like to have a better life than the one I'm having right now." He prays with all his heart as tears can be seen in the corner of his eyes showing how much pain he feels inside since it's been that way ever since he started high school.

"And I promise to do it right this time if I get the opportunity to do so." Ending his prayer, Henry then decides to jog for a bit to calm his nerves because during certain times, his emotions would burst out of nowhere because his time in elementary school affected him psychologically changing him from a very cheerful child to a child who developed severe social anxiety because the students including the teachers just would not leave him alone and they had a problem with the way he acted and it was confusing because he acted normally like everyone else. Because of this, he developed a fear of presenting in front of other people because all he could see is nothing but their soulless eyes glaring down on him like a doll.

His nightmares involved going to funerals of his family members and sometimes he would also get murdered or run over by a car and the noises he would hear within those nightmares would cause his entire body to freeze for a couple of seconds after he wakes up.

Even more, out of nowhere he would develop thoughts about things he would rather not do and the worse part was that he visualized it with every decision that he made causing him to go into multiple periods of depression.

He doesn't know why life decided to do such a thing to him, all he wanted was to have people other than his family to talk to about his issues but it seemed that it couldn't be possible because they would just straight up stab him in the back by abandoning him. Because of this, he developed trust issues causing him to become from a extrovert to introvert.

And Valentine's Day sucked for him, each year ever since his first year of high school, he would see couples enjoying their time and it just made him feel so lost inside like his heart would ache and he wanted to know just how it feels to fall in love.

And just recently, he had to watch his family tear themselves apart because of one single lie that essentially destroyed the true meaning of what a family is supposed to be.

"My life really sucks huh? Well it's just like starting a new game where your life is decided by random and it seems that I got the lower end of it when it comes to socializing. Maybe just maybe if I do get the chance to reincarnate, I'll erase all the memories from this life aside from anime cause I don't want to experience that again."

Henry continues to jog while listening to some 90s music since that is one of his preferences not even caring to look for any vehicles passing by as he crosses the street and on that day it would change his life for the better.

A four-wheeler comes barreling down onto the road and it then hits poor Henry as he gets launched several feet into the air and he lands onto the roof of a nearby vehicle causing his body to twist with a noticeable crunch.

His body is bloodied with his arms twisted at unnatural angles and his legs are basically severely broken with multiple fractures. His collar bone can be seen sticking out of the skin much to the horror of some bystanders that witnessed the event and they just stand there and watch not even caring to call the ambulance because of the disease that's ravaging in the world.

"I....g....g-uess.....I'....ll n-never e....xep..eriece w.....hat....i..its feels to be l...loved, I....----" The life in his eyes begins to fade away and he finds himself in all too similar void that he read from the reincarnation novels he would read.

Before he could question his whereabouts, a bright light suddenly appears making Henry cover his eyes.

When he opens them, he becomes shocked not because it's a ROB when it wasn't but it's none other than Chaos itself from the Seven Deadly Sins universe.

"WHAT THE HELL!!!" He exclaims not expecting to meet what is essentially God of the Seven Deadly Sins manga/anime who was sealed away by the Demon King and the Supreme Deity.

It just floats above him not doing anything or even making a sound.

"Qui vellent pro te nunc autem meliorem vitam elegit quae candidatum ad esse ius alius similis chaos facti Regi autem et renasci in specie unus, qui aliquando fuit in rerum natura daemonium pessimum et terribilis nimis:" It says in a ancient language that has long been forgotten.

And then it suddenly goes blank and so Henry begins his new life in the world of Seven Deadly Sins as Meliodas...
