Nazericks Scientist Npc

Ch1/Reincarnation

So this is the start of a hopefully long fic. I don't really know what to put here, I just wanted to do my own spin on this story, Check out the story that inspired this one "Overlord: Reborn as an NPC" on Wattpad which was inspired by "Yellowness" on fanfiction.net. Also Im typing this on my phone, and my autocorrect is all messed up, so the grammer may not be the best.

The bang was loud. It lasted long after the gun was fired, and it was constant, even now I can hear it, staring into an endless black void.

If your curious what I'm talking about... Well that makes sense I haven't explained it yet.
To start the story, I'm dead, fully, indisputably dead. That kind of happens when you take a bullet to the head.

My name is, or was Taiko Akajime, I'm a scientist living in the Kanto region. My lab had just gotten a big grant for our research project. We were this close to a renewable energy source, stopping us from the desolate, polluted future we were heading towards.

Well no use crying over split milk, my death won't stop the project, I was far from the head of it. There will likely just be a 1-5 day delay for my funeral, and even then, people will be spending their nights working.

Anyway, back to my death. I was withdrawing some funds from my account, There was some tech we needed to buy, and we didn't want to tap into the grant money for it. So Everyone on the team is pitching in a few hundred dollars. Anyway, to the aliens reading this, earthlings are kind of stupid. While most of us grow up to be functioning members of society, a small percent of us don't, and don't have the money to live normally. out of those people, some of them steal money from banks, where we store our money, and assets. Out of that group, some of them bring weapons, and take people hostage, to show how serious they are.

I was one of those hostages.
I wasn't too surprised when he fired, more scared than anything. He was desperate, the building was getting ready to be breached, and the police had all but given up on negotiations.

You might be asking, "Why aren't you shocked, or mad, or scared?"
Well there is one answer to that. I'm dead. This black void, kind of negated that shocked felling. As for anger, well I think I'm angry, I can certainly feel, what my mind tells me is anger, but at what? What can I even take that anger out on here. Afraid? Not at all, I mean I'm dead, what's left to be scared of.
(Foreshadowing...)
So, I guess this is just my non-life now, doomed to stare into the void for all eternity. Well, that's what I want to believe, but I can't. I can still think, my brain is working how it normally should, minus the lack of emotional responses of course.

Was I in the hospital? No I felt to warm. Was I still in the bank? No, the police would have removed my body from the scene, hours ago. So, only three choices left.

One, I am actually dead, and this is some cruel afterlife.
Two, I have been kidnapped, and am in some awful dark 3rd party location.
Three, I am an Isekai manga protagonist, and the goddess is taking a nap.

Speak of the devil, and they shall appear. Literally in this case. A thick, orange ooze began to seep out of the non-existent floor. It began to slowly rise till, it reached about my height, and slowly, a line crept across its face, where the mouth would be.

Aside from the line mouth, this thing had no features, it was just a thick, slow orange blob that looked... Oddly familiar.

I was about to question further, when suddenly things changed. For starters, I had a body, I could tell, by my vision, slightly worsening, and gravity suddenly taking its toll on me.

I tried to look down but I couldn't. I was frozen in place, almost time, but I could feel everything. Suddenly a keyboard like object appeared before the slime, every time something on it was pressed, something changed, I would get taller or shorter, my hair would shift.
