This is the story of a young man who died, losing everything he had while protecting someone. But instead of having eternal rest, his soul was kidnapped by a god for a competition in the world they controlled. There was a big problem when he obtained his new body, which made it very difficult for him to survive in this world, which was filled with both magic and creatures, both fantastic and nightmarish. However, there was something that severed his connection to the god and the competition, but he still had a long journey ahead of him.

The journey of Arusai

—In complete darkness again —I thought, surrounded by an atmosphere of calm that scared me a little. 


—That was an interesting but short second life —I thought, lamenting my situation. 


I was willing to take my well-deserved rest when suddenly a light illuminated my entire face, which annoyed me, but made me realize something. 


—I'm alive! —I said, alarmed before opening my eyes, almost closing them immediately due to the intense sunlight—. I'm not dead —I said happily as I got up and noticed Usaki and Shina were asleep next to me. 


—Wait, what happened? The last thing I remember is being in front of an Elk and then —I paused, remembering what happened. 


—He teleported us —I conclude— but where —I started looking around, seeing a plain that extended as far as I could see with tall grass waving gently in the breeze, with some very spaced out trees. The warm environment and characteristic color of its flora gave me an idea of where we were.
