'Hello, my name is, well was, Haruto Sato. Now you may be wondering about the was part, so I'll inform you why it is was not is. I died. It's as simple as that. Woe is me. I did not get to experience my twenty year old-hood or my middle aged-hood or my old manhood like I normally should have.'

'We interrupt this inner-monologue with some breaking news, nobody can here this guys inner-monologue so obviously he is going senile way too early.'

'Bah, get out of here. I'm not going senile I'm just bored while waiting to get sucked up into the abyss or wherever souls go after their body dies. So anyway, my name was Haruto Sato. Before I died, I worked as a salary man at a relatively big corporation. Instead of the cliche genius otaku setup you may be expecting right now, I was actually just barely above average at school and sports. Even that was just because I tried really hard so I could hopefully go to a good college, graduate and get a good job. I died by smoke inhalation because my apartment complex caught on fire while I was sleeping. Anyway, I can sort of feel a tug pulling my soul so I assume whatever is happening right now is what happens to souls after their body dies so, end of inner-monologue...for now.'

***********************************************************************

The soul started to get pulled, at first slowly but then it started moving faster and faster until it reached a speed that was definitely thousands of times faster than the speed of light. When, all of a sudden, it stopped in front of a large sculpture of Santa Claus that pulled a lever which spun a wheel that pointed towards an icon that said, "Infinite Reincarnations."(That's right, the Supreme, One True God is Santa Claus.)

What just occured was the wheel pull that decides the fate of a soul. Now, most of the time, souls don't get something like Infinite Reincarnations so after they die again, they will have to do the wheel pull again. But, our MC got Infinite Reincarnations so he will never have to come back here again if he dies, he'll just reincarnate, skipping the entire process.

Now, the real story of our hero begins. Maybe.
