He did it he defeated them all, he can finally relax. A man slumps down on a tree his body covered in blood and wounds, around him are numerous bodies of strange green creatures. The man closes his eyes until he hears the sound of branches snapping around him. He opens his eyes and sees a pack of large wolves with light grey fur and purple horns. He smiles sadly and says, “I guess you won’t let me be letting me escape this time, will you?” The wolves only response is to jump at him teeth bared, he is unable to fight them off due to his body being too weak from a mx of his injuries and exhaustion, and he dies.
At some time in the past, we see a young man with short brown hair and green eyes sitting in a chair at an office. An older man comes over to him and says, “Tobias, haw many years have you been working with us?”
“Three years sir.” He replies quietly.
“Ah, yes three years. You have been here three years and have hardly made any impressions on anyone. How are you supposed to get the bosses attention and get a promotion if nobody even notices you?”
His words were harsh, yet true Tobias had been working there for three years and nobody seemed to notice him unless he tripped with his coffee or accidently stapled the wrong papers together. Toby sat in thought for a moment before deciding that he should do his best tomorrow to make an impression.

Later, after his work has ended, Toby has returned to his apartment, his safe haven from the stress and dangers of the outside world. He sat down on his couch and told himself “At least I have anime and manga to cheer myself up.”
As he prepared to make himself some dinner, he suddenly heard a noise at his front door. Toby went over to open the door to see who it was, however before he could the door broke open and he could see a man with a gun pointed at him.
“I’ll do whatever you want, just please don’t hurt me” Toby said dropping to the ground with tears welling up in his eyes. The man looked at him with a sadistic grin and said, “Give me all your money and anything of value in this apartment.”
Hope of surviving this shone in the eyes of Toby. He gave him everything he had, all his money and prized possessions, but the man still had that grin on his face and asked, “Is that everything?” After telling his it was his face darkened and his smile grew larger as he said “Good.” He shot him in the chest and ran out leaving Toby to bleed out with only one question on his mind “Why?”
‘Because he could’ said a voice from nowhere, before he could respond he found himself in a large white room with large columns at the sides, it looked as if everything was made of marble, and he saw something or someone sitting on a marble throne in front of him.
All he heard was one sentence that changed everything ‘Looks like you died, that sucks want to try living again in another world?’
