"Where... Am I?" Someone... Or to be exact, something groaned out. It was humanoid, but it didn't seem to be human. It was just... Light. It seemed to be a young male, but was just a golden light.

As he gained his vision, he looked around, but was shocked to the point of not being shocked. Wherever he looked, and as far as his eyes could see, it was just space.

He didn't see any land, buildings or anything. The only thing that he could see was the empty void with countless stars in the horizon.

"What...?" He looked, looked, and looked. But didn't see anything but the cold and unforgiving space.

He was on the verge of panicking. In fact, he thought he was gonna have the toughest panic attack of his entire life.

However, he knew that he shouldn't panic. He knew that the more weird and intense a situation is, he has to stay calm no matter what.

But he was struggling. He could feel how he was shaking, how hard his heart was beating, and how he was starting to sweat. He couldn't be blamed either!

He just opened his eyes and he was suddenly in the middle of the damn space! That was definitely something to panic for! But he persisted, took a deep breath and exhaled.

'And why am I not suffocating???' He frowned, rubbing his temples in confusion. However, just when he saw his hand, he was left even more speechless.

'... Why in the hell am I the Glowing Man meme...?' His mouth was open in disbelief as he looked at himself. His confusion was growing by the second, and so was his panicking.

"Cough cough." Suddenly, there was another voice in the void. Hearing another voice, the glowing man immediately turned to look. But he just saw the same darkness and stars.

"Up here, Ali." He heard the voice again. This time, from above. As the boy, now known as Ali, raised his head to look, he noticed a shape. It was like just a small part of the space was shaped.

Well, small in comparison to the space. In front of him, it was as big as a two or three story building! When he raised his head, he finally saw what had spoken.

It was a crow! Not a normal crow though. Aside from its size, the most noticeable thing was that it had 4 glowing eyes and was actually space themed! It looked just like Alien X from Ben 10, but just in the shape of a huge crow!

'What in the...' Ali's lips parted, seriously speechless. But his disbelief grew even more when the crow seemed to smirked nonchalantly :"I would've said good morning or something, but time doesn't really have much of a meaning here."

"W-who are you? What are you?" He asked in slight shock, and the crow answered with a smirk :"I think you should know what I am.

Haven't you already heard of the word R.O.B? Well, I'm an Omniversal Being! You're dead, and I pulled you here. You don't remember because I erased the memory of you dying so you wouldn't be traumatized."

Hearing his words, Ali's brain didn't completely register :"... I'm what?" And the crow answered :"Dead. Dead as hell."

A moment of silence went by, and a single sentence left Ali's lips :"Oh." Causing the Omniversal Being to get confused this time :"... What?

Oh? That's it? You hear that you're dead, and that's all you say? Shouldn't you be panicking or something? In fact, why do you look like you're calming down?"

In answer, Ali shrugged and spread his arm :"Well... I don't know. I mean... That kinda explains this whole thing. I mean, I don't know about you, but I don't normally just wake up in space.
