1 Back Story (Edited)

It was just another day for John, like every other day of the year. He goes to work, comes home, eats, sleeps, and wakes up, and repeats the process. John grew up without a family because his father died while his mother was pregnant and his mother died shortly after he was born, leaving him to fend for himself in this big world. Despite being an orphan, he was never adopted and couldn't find a good job because he never went to college, so he worked as a waiter at a high-end restaurant that didn't require a college diploma.

On his way home, he would occasionally notice homeless individuals outside his little apartment and would give each of them some money, or if he didn't have any money, he would give them some of the leftovers, which earned him the respect of the homeless in the neighborhood.

He smiled one day when he saw a homeless mother he had previously assisted with her kid dressed in a school uniform, knowing that he was making a difference in the world with what little he could do. When he got home from work the next day, he noticed the homeless woman's belongings were just left out in the open, which she typically covers when she goes elsewhere, but he just kept walking. Soon after, he arrived at his apartment building's doorway and saw the little girl in her uniform, who went up to him and hugged him, pleading with him to please aid her mother, to which he replied, "What happened, where is your mother?"

"She was kidnapped by three man in the alleyway, please help," the small girl said.

Even though it was none of his business, John couldn't leave the little girl alone. After 5 minutes of searching, he heard muffled screaming in an alley. He ran to the alley to see a woman with tattered clothes and three men surrounding her. One of the men said, "Since you can't pay the debt, you'll pay with your body." He tore her shirt and groped her with both hands while the other two held her down. John having had a little training in Martial arts from the lessons he take on the weekends charged and kicked one of the men off of the women, after kicking one of the men the others backed up a little and got into an amateur fighting stance "You'll pay for that, bastard; once we're done with her, maybe we'll get her young kid next hahaha."Hearing this, John couldn't help but smirk and feel disgusted at what the men said so he charged at the two men with lightning-fast speed, knocking another one out, then doing a backflip and kicking the other one in the throat after the men were down he went to help up the women "Think you sir john I can't believe you're always helping the homeless when we do nothing for you" said the women.

"Well, I didn't want to leave little miss alone and for her to be upset, so no issue," John responded with a smile.

When John was about to tell her to leave and that he would call the police, a loud sound that sounded like a gun being shot was heard, and he felt a sharp pain coming from his stomach. He looked down and saw a bullet hole, then looked behind him and saw one of the men with a gun that had smoke coming from the barrel, then another shot went off, and John's entire world went dark as if he was drifting in space.

After what felt like an eternity, a gleaming white figure emerged from the shadows and spoke.
