Since it seems I’ll be laying down here for awhile… Bleeding… Ugh, this is great… Sigh* never thought I would end up in this kind of situation in my lifetime…
Oh hey didn’t notice you. I guess since you're here, would you listen to a dead man’s life story? If you would grant me the chance… Sure? Okay well first I have to start out when I was born….
You see I’m just your average American, if you can call me that at all… I had average looks and a pretty darn good physique. Brown hair, brown eyes, and white skin with some olive tones in it. Pretty sure I’m was descendent of the Greeks
You know? It sure sounds like I was your average joe… Well I wasn’t for long because that quickly changed after an event I’ll talk about a little later.
The name is Luke. Think it was the Luke from starwars? Well you’re pretty darn full of knowledge aren’t you?
That was a joke I think most people have heard of Star Wars, at least at one point in their life. Then everyone has made some kind of joke about being someone else’s father too… Unless they live under a rock they should know.
I spent my time living on the great planet Earth for a grand total of 24 years. Such a long and fruitful life, don’t you say? Especially considering I spent most of my life doing a service for other people.
I’ll start with my childhood… I was a spoiled child while growing up. Getting to do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, and had the money to do it too. I of course found otaku culture fascinating.
Spending days then weeks then a total of 5 years turned into a shut-in. Because of my genetics I was still thin even on a diet of ramen and candy. Thank my dad for my metabolism.
I read everything there is to learn about fantasy worlds in light novels aspiring to become a writer. Fascinated by video games I wanted to become a programmer. And loving manga I wanted to become a mangaka.
Anime didn’t do too much for me though. So I’d rather not say too much about becoming whatever you need to become for that job.
I found it fascinating learning about worlds with magic who can give people like me who aren’t physically strong the ability to kill loads of people.
The stories of heroes who would save thousands of people made me want to become one myself. The ability to stop evil and get a fabulous bride sounded like a dream. Sadly it was.
Virtual Reality wasn’t a thing during my time. Nor were there any simulation software that people could immerse themselves into. It was even the damn 21st century dammit.
Sadly my great life was brought to an end with the introduction of cancer, to my birth Mother’s body. I can’t remember where the cancer was, but it was pretty much untreatable.
My Mother ended up dying a slow agonizing death over the course of one year and the procedures were so costly that most of our savings went to her. She died right on my birthday.
Well at least now I didn’t have to celebrate my birth anymore. There was no way to delay her life any longer and life hated me. Seriously dying on your own sons birthday is the worst.
I never had real good ties to the people in my family, so I didn’t take it too bad. My Father however is a different story altogether.
He went down the path of depression. I guess the shock of Mother leaving us early was problematic for him. Losing most of our money from an economic crisis.
With depression he started to gamble a large amount of money, while simultaneously, slowly quitting on work over the course of a three year period. From when i was fifteen to eighteen.
Our living the good life ended, and I sold most of my collections of books and games and everything that comes with those time wasters.
After my Mother died and Father started quitting on life… yeah that sounds right… I began to study outside of public school, and since I was born in America I got a job at the age of sixteen.
The reason I got the job was to help pay for living expenses and other important life necessities such as food, bills, and medicine. Luckily I didn’t get sick too much.
I became athletique in high school during the last three years, getting a few close friends, and even was in the top 90% of all people in the graduating class. It was hard to do too many things to get friends with my job being more important.
I was proud of myself and hoped that how well I had done would cheer up my Father. It seems it didn’t work too well for him because my existence must have been a sore in his side. Still I took care of him.
As I said I had some friends and wasn’t a total dissocial person; as I was before in my life. I chose to form few close friendships, rather than a large amount of acquaintances.
If I think about it having close friends didn’t help me at all, since it may have led me to this situation. But whatever I don’t care I am dying...
I didn’t have too many girlfriends though so my request to god for a relationship didn’t come true. Never finding “the one” I didn’t feel too inclined to have any romance.
Due to the economic crisis many people couldn’t go to college for free on scholarships.
After finishing High School I found since I couldn’t pay for a college degree I decided to enter the military first. Apparently they will pay for college after something like four years of service.
Joining sounded like a great deal, because as an added bonus I would still be paid while in service and could send money home to help pay for my fathers problems.
I was a very tough worker and ended up doing very well in the boot camp they sent me too. I ended up joining the navy. I must have done very well on the course because after some time I was able to join the famed Navy SEALS.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
That was a pretty hectic time. Learning how to use various firearms, doing various missions overseas against terrorists. I can’t remember too many missions right now.
There was that one time with the dog… ahh stupid dog. I think his name was Courage. Wait what am I saying I mean thats highly classified. You didn’t hear anything… right?
I didn’t get to do very much in the seals because most of it was just training. Then just six weeks after finally doing something I found out my father had passed away.
That was just a few months ago. Apparently his health was deteriorating for awhile now, and the Navy wanted to keep my in my training so they kept it hidden till I was deployed for some time.
I was given leave time in the Navy, it was only for a couple of weeks. They gave me time off because he was my last family member alive after all.
My heart broke after that. I had spent about half my life helping my country and my father by now. Man looking back my life was good then sucked pretty bad.
So you’re asking how I ended up in the situation I am in right now. Well it was during my time back in the States that it happened.
Me and a couple of buddies of mine from back in highschool decided to meet up at a huge bar in a major downtown district nearest the location of the funeral. Approximately a couple miles away.
I was never an alcoholic kind of guy, but after being pressured to drink by my close friends I was rather wasted after leaving the bar we were in. My buddies all had wives or girlfriends at this time.
Angry at their luck at finding someone to love I decided to take a walk for a few minutes. Ending up in the bad neighborhood I’m in now.
I didn’t cry at the funeral and was pretty drunk so I wasn’t thinking too straight. When I passed by an alleyway I heard a scream. Maybe two I can’t remember.
Cautiously moving closer to the inside of the alleyway I found it rather dark and hard to see. From what I could see there was two women surrounded by around 5 guys.
I didn’t know what was going on so when I heard one of them shouting “Help” I slowly crept over to the nearest hiding spot to examine the situation.
Watching one of the men begin to crouch down and start ripping off one of the girls clothes I sorta knew what was happening to her by now.
Being the Intelligent person I was I first called the cops. However a problem rose quickly… Seeing someone being raped in front of you is hard to deal with mentally.
And because I had a fair bit of skill able to stop something like this I should be able to stop a couple of people. Although I wish I could remember how I did it though.
Because seeing someone being raped is hard I sorta blew into a rage about the whole situation. Half unable to remember what happened I came back and four of the five guys were lying a fair bit close to me.
Luke: “Oh shit what did I do?” backing away from the bodies I noticed my bleeding knuckles.
I quickly looked around and noticed one of the women was half naked while the other was not wearing anything. Their expressions were fearful of the situation, but I guess they were happy I came.
Glancing at the four men around me I saw that they looked to have smashed faces and probably a few broken ribs. Wait… wasn’t there one more?
Looking around I saw the last one... seems I threw him over near the mouth of the.... Huh, he’s getting up… ‘Shouldn’t be too bad to let him run...’
Random Gangbanger: “You asshole!. You’re going to fucking pay for this!”
Well it seems i forgot to check people for firearms because as he was saying this He began to pull out what seemed to be a 9mm handgun.
‘
Damn American laws giving this bastard a gun.’
Hearing sirens in the distance I felt lucky that I was only a few meters from the guy I threw. There was a problem though he seemed rather fast at his aim. Not very accurate though…
I knew if I was able to reach him I could kill him before he shot me too much. Running at full speed he managed to shoot me 3 out of the total 5 times he fired his gun.
One managed to hit my left shoulder, and two in the gut, the other 2 flew past my head.
Gangbanger: “Ahhhhh….”
Running at full speed toward him I managed to use my weight and the speed on my stride to grab his neck with my right hand to slam him to the ground. Hearing a *crunch* sound on the concrete I felt proud to have snapped the guys neck.
When the shots finally resounded through my body I was lying on the ground beside the guy I broke. Heh broke.
Hearing the sirens growing quiet as i faded into unconsciousness I saw the two women approaching me to check my body, I guess.
As I lost the ability to see everything went black, my other senses slowly disappeared as well with my consciousness just sat in pure black darkness for what seemed to be awhile.
Okay. Well I’ll see you in heaven. Have fun… wait am i still here.. What’s going to happen to me...
Slowly the cold feeling went away and I felt a warmth entering my body through my gut…….Wait a minute……. WHAT???

This is the reboot I did the prologue and it only took 1 hour and 45 minutes. I changed from doing a new fiction to just uploading the chapters then deleting the old ones. I wanted to keep the old ones for reminders on what to do from now on. But whatever. Just remember to rate this up and comment.
