Kain Owen

New York City, America, 2024

Amongst the bustling roads of NYC, the Empire State building could be seen in all of its glory, towering over all of the other buildings and skyscrapers surrounding

As people walked by the tower, a lone teenager exited the building.

The teenager had black spiky hair, with similarly black eyes. He was about 180 cm tall and had a slim figure. He was wearing a blue hoodie and black pants and was holding a can of coke.

As he walked down the street he thought to himself dejectedly, 'What a disappointment, that place was crowded as hell.'

He started grinning 'At least I got a good photo though.'

He took out his phone from his pocket and looked through the photo gallery, looking at his photo of the New York skylines.

Kain Owen was an 18 year old teen, studying engineering abroad at Cornell university. He was higher than average in all of his classes, which was a thing he took pride in.

His mother father and sister were currently living in germany, but he had chosen to move to New York to finish his studies in 'The City That Never Sleeps'

He had always dreamt of moving to NYC, to visit all of the skyscrapers and buildings that made the city famous worldwide.

He had just used some of his allowance to buy a ticket to the Empire State Building. He had been interested in it, but the the loud, annoying crowd, made him less interested and more bored.

As he walked down the roads he drank his coke and threw it into a nearby trashcan. He closed the gallery and started scrolling across YouTube.

'There's nothing interesting on here anymore' he thought as he crossed the road.

He closed YouTube before remembering 'Oh yeah, dad wanted me to call him after my tour.'

As he pressed his finger on the phone app however, he heard a shout coming from his left.

"MOVE"

As he turned his head he suddenly saw a massive truck hurtling towards him at full speed. He tried to move his legs but he only managed to take one foot off the ground before the truck crashed into him.

'Pain'

That was all he felt, as his bones cracked under the force of the speeding truck, his body too overwhelmed by pain to even think, let alone scream, and then-

'Nothing'

Suddenly, all of the pain went away instantly and he felt like he had never been hurt at all. As he lay on the ground he looked around, but all he saw was white, in every direction.

'Is this ..Heaven?' he thought in disbelief. He looked 'Hopefully God ignores the fact that I'm an atheist, if he does exist that is.'

As he looked around further he had a grim thought, ' My family, what will they think? My dad and mom probably won't be worried about me until I haven't called after an hour or two. They'll probably start crying after they find out what happened to me. Hopefully they'll be able to get over my death. I wouldn't want my memory haunting them.'

As he thought about his family, his train of thought went to his sister, 'Leila, how will she react? Hopefully she'll be fine. God forbid she turns depressed and fails her math exam next week.'

He looked around again, trying to see if anything had changed with the surrounding white space. Seeing no differences his face fell, before he slowly got up.

As he got up he realized that he no longer felt any sort of pain whatsoever, even after the injuries he had suffered from the crash.

He snickered thinking about it, 'So I really got eliminated by truck-kun? Out of all the ways I could have died."

He suddenly grimaced, 'I should stop my habit of joking around in serious situations. I remember that one time I couldn't stop giggling at a funeral'

'Not that it matters anyway, considering that now I'm most likely dead-'

*ping*

Startled by the sound, he took a few steps back in a hurry before looking down at the origin of the sound. It was a big blue box that looked semi- transparent. Written on it were the words:

[ Congratulations Kain Owen, due to the circumstances of your death, you have been selected to transmigrate into a brand new world]

"E-Excuse me what?"

The words on the box suddenly changed.

[You have been granted the honor of being transmigrated to another world after you have died]

[The world you have been selected to transmigrate in is the world of Avatar The Last Airbender]

[Please select your bending style]

[Airbending]

[Firebending]

[Waterbending]

[Earthbending]

Baffled, Kain asked, "W-Whats going on?"

[Please select your bending style]

[Airbending]

[Firebending]

[Waterbending]

[Earthbending]

"Alright then, I guess I'm not getting an answer." Kain said, still extremely confused. 'So then, I guess I'm apparently getting transmigrated into the world of Avatar The Last Airbender.'

'This is just like one of those Chinese novels with the MC being isekaied into an anime world'

He sighed, 'Well, at least its a world I know of. Thank God I agreed to watch the entire show with Leila, even if at that time he was only doing it to keep her happy. If it was a world like Bleach he would be way worse off.'

'So is this my system? The cheat that all transmigrators get? Hopefully this was an OP system that would make him overpowered instantly.'

As he thought further, his brows furrowed as he asked himself a few questions, 'Why would I be sent to the world of Avatar? Who sent me here? Who created this system?'

He looked at the system again before asking two simple words, "Why me?"

But the system just repeated the same phrase as it had previously.

[Please select your bending style]

[Airbending]

[Firebending]

[Waterbending]

[Earthbending]

'Well then, I guess I'm not getting the answer to that question, or any other questions.' He looked more carefully at the system, 'So I have to decide between airbending, waterbending, earthbending and firebending?'
