1 Prologue - Maybe Karma is real?!

*BEEP*

"Yawn~"

*BEEP*

A boy around the age of 17-19 wakes up, gets out of bed, and clicks the button on top of the alarm. Turning it off.

He looks around at his 1 bedroom apartment. As he looks around, he glances at his clock. It's 7:30 Am, school starts at 8:00 Am. As he considers this, he makes a plan and executes it.

"I wanted to get as much sleep as possible for the Exam happening today, but maybe I cut it too close!"

He immediately gets out of bed, puts his clothes on and brushes his teeth.

"Aaahh! It's 7:36 already?!"

10 Minutes later:

"Mmmaha!!"

A man running out of his apartment 4 stories up can be seen with one grilled cheese sandwich in his mouth and a uniform on.

This is our protagonist: Mark Smith

He is a 18 year old boy attending his last days of high school. He has black hair, red eyes, and average looks. He lost his parents in a fire, when he was only 13, and as such lives alone. The only thing he has left from them are a couple of photos, money, and a watch.

However, it just so happened that this would not only be his last year in high school, but also his last day alive!

First Person: Mark

'Why! Why! WHY!!! Why is this light taking so long?!' I check my watch. It's 7:49. "Come on, come on"

I still have 2 more blocks after this, then a stoplight. While I was in thought, the light turned green and the walking sign lit up.

'Time to go!' I ran across the street and onto the stop walk.

"Aaahh! Someone stop that man! He stole my stuff!" A women sporting gray office clothe yelled.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!" A middle aged man screamed while shoving people off to the side. He wore black and grey clothe with a cap on his head. To top it off he even had a scar on one of his eyebrows.

In one hand held a purse while in the other had a intimidating size knife.

The women look at me "Help me please! Stop him!"

I look back at the giant charging towards me….'Yeah….no'

I dash to my right out of the guy's way. 'Sorry Miss but I'm only 18 and would still like to live if that's ok?' 'I mean who in there messed up crooked head would stop a man 2 times their size, charging at them with a 12 inch long knife?!'

The man rushes past me, sparing me a slightly confused glance. The women, on the other hand, is beet red while also having a somewhat depressed face.

I was in the middle of walking away when-

"Why didn't you stop him!"

"Why? Did you seriously just ask 'why'? Well let me answer your question with a question. Why would I risk my life for 1) A complete stranger and 2) easily replaceable items?"

The office lady looks at me with a somewhat dumbfounded expression while I walk away.

"B-because it's the right thing to do!"

"Is getting myself killed the right thing to do?"

I continue walking away, towards the stoplight. I check both sides of the road, then cross the street while checking my watch.

'7:54'

'My class is going to start soon!' I run across the street and….

Get to the other end safely- *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEEP*

Next thing I know the world is upside down and every bone in my body is broken. Blood is all over the concrete. People are screaming, cars are beeping.

'Can you guys quite down a little, I sorta want my final moments to be in peace…'

I recall my life up to this very moment. All the mistakes and all the good things. Then I remember that office lady.

'Mmmm, is this karma? Well then, I still don't regret it, although I'm sorry'

Soon everything starts to fade out. The noise, the buildings, the people and cars….and the memories.

First Person: Mark

'What the! Why am I still awake!! No no!! Why am I still even alive!!' I open my eyes only to be met with a black void and the Earth under me!

'What the-' "O I see your here now" I look up to see a man fresh out of a new blockbuster horror movie! I mean what is this?! He's literally sporting a black robe with a hood over his head, blocking the top part of his head, and a scythe in one of his hands.

'Wow that's things huge, how is he even holding it?' The scythe is over a meter and a half tall with a 3 feet curved blade.

And to top it all off he's constantly admitting a cold aura.

'What is this thing?! The devil?!'

"Well I suppose you could call me such. After all, I am an evil god"

'wait?! You can read my mind?!'

"No, first off mortals are easy to read, especially if you've been living for more than 16.4 billion years!"

'Well, that's offaly specific-Wait?! Isn't that the start of the universe?! How is that possible?! There wasn't even oxygen yet?! Wait how am I even-'

"Ok enough enough, your giving me a migraine with all these dumb questions. Seriously just relax for a of couple seconds"

"Ok look here's the break down, you just died, obviously, by the same man who you chose not to stop. I brought your soul here so we could talk a bit and then reincarnate you into another universe.

Why you may ask? Simple, all universes have energy: mana, iq, chakra, etc. Although it's normal for universe to loose a little. Sometimes they loose too much. When this is the case, the gods that manage these universes will ask other gods from nearby universes to exchange energies. If this does not happen the universe will break down.

Now, you may be wondering what your part in this is, well that's simple, you see, in order to exchange energies…we need a soul to travel to this other universe while bringing along with them energies."

'Wait your saying I'm that soul?!'

"Yes, now please calm down"

First I'm on my way to class, then-BAM- I died. Not to mention that guy was the same man I wanted to get away from. Maybe if-

"If you had chose to help the women You would have been stabbed and died from blood loss. Either way you would have died, I would have personally made sure of that"

'But why-'

"Simple, I chose you based off your character, soul power, and potential. You see Mark, I actually kinda like you. As such, I will be getting a break from this universe soon, which means I won't have to look after this universe for a while. So to entertain me during my break, I will travel with you so I can watch you on the side lines for entertainment! Genius right?!"

'Is this man- no god, insane?'

"Well, that was just rude Mark"

'Do I have any choice?'

"No!"

'Will I get any information on where I'm going exactly?'

"No!"

'Do you have to say it in such an excited tone?'

"Well, can you blame me? I'm finally getting a break after 8.2 billion years! And what's better is I will be getting entertainment for the next 2.5 billion years!"

'Wait wha-'

"O would you look at the time! Time to go!"

And with that, a spacial fracture opens up right next to us, pulling us in…
