How to begin the story?
There was a man of 20 years of age. His life was something which could be described in one word- miserable. Why you may ask?
Well, he was lying on his death bed waiting for death. Waiting for death on the death bead; something poetic if you think so.
He had been born in quiet a rich and affluent family and should have had a comfortable life. But fate was not in his favour.
In his childhood, immediately after his birth, he had been affected by a terminal illness with no available cure for the illness. The illness left him weak and most of his time was spend on the bed.
This was not the end of it. Along with this incapacity to have a normal life, he suffered tremendous amount of pain on regular intervals. The pain made him go crazy and he could do nothing but cry in agony.
Despite all his sufferings, he never cursed the gods, heavens, fate or whatever one may call it. All because of the family he had.
His family comprised of his parents and two elder siblings. They adored him with all what they could.
To be honest, he was extremely lucky to have been blessed with such a family. The condition he was in, a lot of people would have abandoned him without a second thought but his family held on to him.
In all his agony and the pain, he suffered, apart from his family- books were one thing which kept him indulged. He had hobby of collecting and gathering knowledge. Online videos also played an important part in it.
Finally, the day arrived when he would be gone forever. He could feel the death slowly approaching towards him and honestly, he was happy.
He would be free of the curse, of the pain and the agony and suffering. He knew that after he was gone, the heart of his parents and siblings would not ache any further seeing him cry in pain. Although they would be in grief for a very long time, they would be free from the pain and helplessness they felt whenever they saw him suffering.
The man thought for his family one more time before he closed his eyes and his soul was whisked away from this body.

The man did not know how or why but he found myself floating in a very dark place. He could not see or even feel his body. Actually, other than complete darkness he could see nothing.
It was at this moment when something stirred and some strange sounds echoed in the surroundings. And weirdly enough, he could understand it all.
You are one of a kind, boy. People in your condition, even if they don't believe in my existence, curse at me for their entire life.
On the other hand, you never uttered a word against me in your entire life of 20 years. Even though you were not truly a believer in me, you considered yourself lucky to blessed with such a family. I truly admire your character, boy.
So, I have granted you another life. Enjoy as much as you could. Don't take too much burden and do what you want to do.
He felt as if the voice was gone, but it boomed again.
Oh! And to help in your journey, I have granted you some gifts.
Firstly, you will have a greatly enhanced physique and great mastery of fighting skills and weapon skills. Your comprehensive abilities and the capacity of the brain would also be top notch.
Secondly, you will be able to summon one weapon of your choice. It would be leagues apart of anything your new world has to offer.
Thirdly, on your journey you will have to choose a few companions. So, I have granted you the ability to give your blood essence to three people who are willing to bow down to you. Although the essence will not make them as strong as you but will definitely make them much better than an average human.
And finally, the place where you would be going is very close to nature and is yet to be polluted by what you humans call industrial pollution. You would have a certain relation… certain understanding and authority over the animals of your world.
Have a magnificent life ahead… my child.
