I wake up to sound of my alarming going off “NAA NAA NAA”. I pound the sleep button as fast as I can as to not wake anybody else up as well as to stop the noise. The clock reads 3:00 meaning 3 in the morning. After killing the clock I get off my bed and get my clothes on for the day, I don't need to shower since I took one the night before. After getting dressed I grab my keys and out the door I go heading for work. I start work at 4 in the morning so I like to be up an hour earlier so im prepared if anything goes wrong its about a 20 minute drive to get to work but I like to be safe then sorry as the saying goes.
I arrive at work like normal the drive was uneventful, nobody really drives that late except for the people getting off work and the few like me going to work. Once at work I head to the break room at the back of the store and visit with the my fellow employees for 20 minutes waiting so I can clock on. I work at a popular grocery store chain as a person who bins food and stocks shelves. I sometimes have to cashier though .I really feel bad for the people who have to do it 8 hours a day. Once the clock hits 4:00 I swipe my name fancy name badge and im ready to work. I go to the office and pick up my hand held scanner and proceed to scan bins looking for picks and scan its to be binned. I continue to do this for 4 hours and then I have to take hour break which is something I really enjoy. On lunch I head to the produce section of the store and buy a veggie pack and coke like I normally do. I think it is funny that I always this since its something healthy combined with something unhealthy but I also think “screw it, it could be ramen.” and proceed to always get the veggies. After I eat lunch and rest for the remainder of the hour its time to head back to work for another 4 hours.
When I finish working for the day around 1:00 pm I stop at a Chinese fast food chain and get a big plate of fried rice and orange chicken to go. Once I get home I wake up my computer and browse the web as I eat my food. I check youtube for anything good from the people im subscribed to and nothing interesting shows up, since youtube had nothing good I checked the various Chinese translations for any chapter updates. There are a few updates so I read about an hour. I only have about 6 hours after work of free time before I need to sleep to get up so early so after I read I play some league for another 3 hours then I take a shower and lay down to go to bed.
“Hello welcome to the afterlife!” a male voice says in my mind.
“The afterlife?” I think while noticing its pitch black still.
“Yes the afterlife, you died in your sleep, well you and your whole planet.” says the voice.
“What! Where am I? How did I die? This isn’t a dream?” I think with panic.

I freak out for sometime before realizing the voice said something.
“ First off you are in state of transition this place it just a temporary place for you to make decisions for your next set of experiences. Secondly, as you were sleeping and an asteroid hit your planet instantly incinerating you and pretty much everyone else. Everyone else died within 15 mins of impact. To the last questions its redundant.
“Wow, well I got lucky no pain woot woot. Hey where is my family?” I think
“Everyone else is going through the same process you are going through. You have no need to worry about them anymore and should be concerned with yourself. You won't be meeting them ever again.” the voice says.
“Well that sucks I really loved my family you know? Also I hoped that bastard Bill gets a bad deal. I really hated that guy.” I think while trying to see where the voice is coming from, it's still black and cant see anything.
“Like I said no need to concern yourself with you past life its time now for you new life and experiences.” the voice says.
“Fine, so what now?” I think.
“Well all you need to do is decide what kind of existence would you like to experience?” the voice says.
“Oh its up to me is it? Well what are my options?” I think.
“Well technically its anything you can think of. But I would suggest something that you might be familiar with since you came from a existence with no magic.” says the voice.
“Oh that’s interesting.” I think while pondering my options for a while.
“I would like a world with magic and creatures of magic. I also want the world to be extremely large and the ability for the people to rise in personal power. Last but not least I would like to keep my memories of my past life.” I think.
“Easy and done, have a nice trip see you next time...or not”the voice says as it fades away.
An unknown time later I see a light in the distance. The light is fast approaching me and soon im surrounded by the light. It happens instantly once the light surrounds me and I have the sensation of falling. I look down and below me is a village with a forest and lake on one side and plains on the other. I am fast approaching a single house in the village the closer I get the more details I see. The village is small but does have a wooden fence around it, inside the fence there seems to be about 100 houses of different sizes. In the center of the village there is a small clearing and a few buildings surrounding presumably the blacksmith and carpenters. the house im currently falling towards is on of the smaller ones. I pass through the roof of the house and see a group of people before falling into a small bundle in one of the peoples arms and my vision goes black.
