1 The End of My Old Life, The Start of My New One

"Hey, so my bad; but you're dead."

"W H A T ! ? ! ? ! ?"

Yeah, seems like a normal reaction to the news that you're dead when just a few minutes ago you were on your way back home to play the newest game you just bought at the store, right? Right?

Well that's how I took the news at least.

I mean how else do you expect me to take it?

I'm not some robot or unfeeling lone wolf.

Of course I lean a bit more on the apathetic side but I still feel things y'know.

That aside let's get a little bit more into details shall we ladies and gents?

My name is Vance. Last Name? Not necessary anymore it seems.

I'm 6 feet tall with brown eyes and black hair. A better than average build since even though I was basically a Hikki-NEET I still worked out since I didn't like feeling sluggish.

I was an avid fan of novels, manga, and games. And I really liked food so I was quite a good cook as well.

As I previously said I died on my way back home from the game store after buying the newest VR game. As I was crossing the street I got hit by a large semi truck. THAT DAMN TRUCK-KUN GOT ME TOO! I mean I know I've read a lot of novels that start with the protagonist getting hit by a truck but to think it would happen to me too. *cough* *cough*. Moving on from Truck-kun, I lost consciousness after getting hit and woke up in this room. It's a blinding white color, there's a nice looking table and two comfy looking chairs and there doesn't seem to be much else.

With seemingly nothing else to do I sat on one of the two chairs.

Then He walked in.

He was an old bearded man with white hair.

He sat down in the chair opposite me and took a breath.

"Hey, so my bad; but you're dead." He said.

"W H A T ! ? ! ? ! ?"

Well that's where this story started I guess.

"Hmm. A reasonable reaction I guess."

"What's going on? Who are you? Where am I? Wh-"

"Slow down there kid, you're asking too many questions too fast. Take a moment and breathe."

"Okay. Okay."

"Let's start off with who I am. Well... I'm God."

"Eh... What?"

"You heard correctly kid. I'm God. And this place here is my Divine Realm."

"And as for what happened?"

"Well let's just say I kinda lost control of the one you humans call Truck-kun for a moment."

I always knew Truck-kun was a divine instruments of the gods. I mean how else did they keep sending people to other worlds?

"So I'm just dead now? I can't just be brought home or something like that?"

"Sorry kid but I can't do that. It would cause major problems down on Earth."

"So what will happen to me?"

"Well I can just directly send you to another world if you would like?"

"Wait... Really?"

"Yeah, I can even implant something special in your soul. Although I can't control what kind of form it will manifest as it will at least allow you to get some sort of power to defend yourself in that world. I mean it is dangerous there after all."

"That sounds...Pretty good actually." After all I was a big fan of Isekai novels when I was alive and this sort of development is pretty common so it should be somewhat in my comfort zone, no?

"Then, God, I would like to take that deal."

"Sounds good. Well, word of warning: Since the world you're going to is filled with swords, magic, and monsters, in addition to the special gift I'm giving you, your body is going to be slightly tampered with in order to make you more suited for surviving in that world."

"That sounds okay."

"Well then, off you go kid."

"WAIT!"

"What now?"

"What's the name of the world I'm getting sent to?"

"Yggdrasil"

And thus my new life commenced.
