*thud*

(Y/N): ... Heh...

In the center of a city covered in flames, a man rested on his knees as he began to laugh due to the fact that he was the remaining survivor from an intense battle. His body was covered in many injuries which led to him bleeding to death. Even his cursed blade barely held his balance as his arm was incredibly weak from the battle for his life.

(Y/N): Guess this is goodbye... But... I've already said that a long time ago...

As if something wanted to put him out of his misery, the young man was struck by a bolt of lightning from the clear skies. His eyes turned blank as his lifeless body quickly fell to the floor.

Unknown Location

(Y/N): So this is it... Everything suddenly fell into chaos and I was just a poor victim caught in middle... All is lost and now... Judgement has finally been delivered to me....

Your eyes slowly opened from the sounds of rumbling in the distance as well as the sounds of distant roars. There was no longer any pain in your body as you felt as if weight has been lifted from yourself. In fact, your clothing wasn't even damaged from your previous battle. As you rose to your feet, you began to notice that your body felt quite smaller.

(Y/N): What the hell...

You found yourself trapped in an abandoned building with it's electronics constantly unleashing Sparks from damage. Without wasting any time, you found a tall broken mirror and decided to take a look at yourself. Of course, you didn't wear the same brown clothes that resembled an 18th century Highwayman but you noticed that your body had shrunk as if you were nearly turning fifteen years old since your facial features were quite young. You wore a dark blue jacket along with dark blue pants and a pair of uncomfortable boots.

A/N: so pretty much you're outfit is Nero's clothes from DMC V, with the jacket closed

(Y/N): That can't be right... I was... In my fifties... Right?

You simply shook your head to recall your previous memories but you only remembered the previous, life threatening, battle followed by a flash of light.

(Y/N): So I guess I'm young again... Was I given... Another chance?

Taking a slow deep breath, you decided to move towards the nearest window and look at the scenery. Your initial reaction was quite composed but your mind told you that the background was much more different that your previous home.

(Y/N): Where am I? This is completely different than home... Even when that place was burning...

You shuddered at the thought of your own home until you realized that you left nothing behind. This made you sigh since this second chance was nothing but a lie.

(Y/N): ... Guess I can't escape from my own hell... Heh...

You slumped forward since there wasn't any point in moving at the moment. You escaped one place only to find yourself in another ruined world. You simply thought it was some form of divine punishment for any sins that you've created in your past life until voices broke your thoughts.

???: Hey look! There's someone just up ahead!

From the height of your ruined shelter, you watched as two girls were exploring the streets in confusion. This earned a sigh of relief since it felt as if you had longed for any human companionship. Your eyes quickly averted to another girl that was currently in battle with a pack of wild monsters. Although, you felt a sudden chill as thunder roared just above your head. Looking you noticed a hole formation between clouds that slowly drew closer the girl's position.

(Y/N): Well... Guess it's back to work.

You wasted no time and immediately leapt out of the window in order to aid all three girls from incoming danger.
