Before you start reading, please keep in mind that English isn't my first language. So you might find some words here and there or some mistakes in words or something like that. I'm still perfecting my English, so I'll try my best to improve in next chapters.
Enjoy! :)
CHAPTER
Prologue
----------------------------------------
Once upon a time in modern era in Japan in an small village which development wasn't much good compare to other villages.
In the summer days, there was a man who was at his 30's, returning from his work.
He was looking at his phone, while listening to music on his headphone. He wasn't paying much attention of his surroundings, but he didn't care, like he knew every road.
After walking for 5 minutes he came across the Zebra-cross, but there wasn't any traffic lights and the reason is 'cause of poor development.
He turned around to Zebra-cross and looked at his left and right side, road was cleared, so he proceed to cross the road, while still listening to music.
But suddenly he feels like he heard something, so he turned again to left to see nothing and then he turned to his right side to see a car.
It was heading towards him at full speed, it looked like car had it's break fail, he could feel goosebumps.
When he try to jump out of the way, the driver also tries to move the car to other side.
*Bam* *Bam*
But unfortunately they both ended up going to same side, car hit the person and as for the car, it goes off to get crash to the transmission pole.
After some minutes a guy who was at his 50's came out of the crashed car.
It seems he wasn't wounded bad.
「Hey! I've called the Ambulance, so please hang in there! You hear me!!」
The guy who was the owner of the car was panicking and telling the other guy to 'don't close your eyes'.
(In my whole life I was an Introvert, staying in my home all day playing video game, or reading mangas, or light novels and I've also had an night job..... I thought my life was going good in this way, but look at me now, everything had ruined because of my own mistake....)
He knew that his dead was near, then he rolls his eyes to the person who was panicking.
(Hah.... I guess I'll die as a virgin, and more importantly my elementary school friends already have childrens and here I am still being a bachelor hahaha... oh man I can only laugh at my last moments, I guess next time when I'll reborn, I gotta find a girl in my early stage..... Hmm? My blood feels really warm than I thought, huh.)

He was muttering his last words before he was going to pass away, but he wasn't in fear or in despair 'cause of dying, insted he was wondering 'does someone even gonna remember me?', then without even caring about the world he closed his eyes.

(Open your eyes Kageyama Tomoki.)
When he thought he was dead, he hears an unfamiliar voice inside in his head calling his name.
When he open his eyes, he saw he was standing in the stone path which had only one way and he was in the middle of it. When he looked around, he saw huge white pillars around him, when he try to look the pillar's end, he could tell that it's has no end.
But then.
「Kageyama, are you listening?」
Again, the same voice spoke, but this time voice was echoing around the pillars.
「! I'm sorry! But is this the afterlife!?」 < Tomoki >
「Hoh~... So you knew huh, Japanese people really are interesting, you all always manage to amaze me. Anyways let me introduce myself. My name is..... Yama*」< Yama >

「....」
Tomoki didn't say anything casue he heard many Gods names but this was the first time he heard this name.
「Really now, nothing to say? And you know from many country, many of them disappoint me... Well, I can't blame them not to be famous like others... Hah.」 < Yama >
「N-No! It's not like that. A-A-Actually I was wondering, is this where I was going to teleport to another world!?」 < Tomoki >
Tomoki tried to cheer Yama up by trying to be friendlier, but he knew deep down that this is a God that he shouldn't mess with and on the top of that he was an Introvert so he was having hard time.
「No need to cheer me up, you know... Anyway, the thing you said about another world, you're right about that, I thought to choose someone from your country, so here you are.」 < Yama >
Tomoki was totally flabbergasted after hearing what Yama said. He only joke around about going to another world, but he didn't think it was this serious.
「S-So you're telling me that I can reborn again? So does that mean there's Elves and others too, Yama-sama!?」 < Tomoki >
Tomoki, who couldn't talk earlier now was showing excitement in his face.
「Yes, and there's Demon Lords too not one but four and that world is really like this world too. But the only problem is even we Gods can't interfere that world's physics of law, so I'll give you one power of your choosing, so decide wisely.」 < Yama >
「Before that, can I ask why? You and the other Gods can't interfere with it's law Yama-sama?」 < Tomoki >
Tomoki who couldn't help but to ask him 'cause of his curiosity.
「I won't argue on that 'cause even we Gods are having hard time figuring out till this day, and yeah! People from your country also know about this right? So what do you call it? Is it isseki or isekai? I had a bet with my friend so...」 < Yama >
「It's isekai. And about the one power you talk about I've decided, Yama-sama.」 < Tomoki >
「So I was right, huh, it's isekai after all, now I can have Chitragupt* do some of my work. Thanks For your help, and what you've decided then?」 < Yama >

「I've decided to have a sword that can only be wielded by me and powerful enough to obliterate an whole country.... Can you do it Yama-sama..?」 < Tomoki >
After telling his decision to Yama who's voice was still echoing around the pillars said.
「Of crouse, I can! if that's what's you decided then, since I'm also in a good mood I'll give you one of my personal weapon, I called it Danda*, use it with care okey, it's really hard for me to repaired it.」 < Yama >

Then he puts the Danda with care, which still to Tomoki surprise, pouring out it's massive power, which had mysterious aura too it.
But he didn't mind it much.
Then suddenly from his below, words that he didn't understand came out of nowhere.
「Well then, till we meet again, I hope that you'll have a fine story to tell me and my friend Chitragut, we'll be waiting for your return.」 < Yama >
Tomoki who was in awe state couldn't speak further, casue he knew this will gonna change his life from now on and every moment will be full of dangers or full of fun.
With that Tomoki body starts to disappear little by little like dust in the air.
