Chapter-1: I think I kinda died

In a day like any other, the sky was as blue as ever and a lot of people keep coming and going in the streets. I, on the other hand, am simply sited on a bench with a Japanese katana beside me looking at the sky. The many buildings reflecting the sunlight and the noise of the cars don't seem to bother me at all.

The sun has a rainbow around it and it's pretty beautiful to observe, especially when you don't have anything better to do. I'm a 27-year-old unemployed man, who isn't even trying to find a job.

My name is Kin Yun and people nicknamed me Ky, in the beginning, it bothered me but now I'm used to it. You might be wondering why I choose to stay unemployed or why am I sitting on this bench looking at the sky with a Japanese katana, right? Well, that's pretty simple, it all started on the day of my first job interview 5 years ago.

-5 years ago-

On that day Ky was late for his job interview and he was trying to get there as fast as possible, so as a man with no car of his own, Ky called an Uber but there was a horrible traffic on that day so Ky decided to leave the Uber and go running, it was a great opportunity to work at the gaming company that created all his favorite games, luckily he attracted their attention with his last project at University. It was something he couldn't miss but he still let himself sleep too much, anyway on his way to the company while running, he was in such a hurry that he didn't notice the truck coming when he was crossing the street and then he died, or so he thought but the reality was a little bit different.

He was there standing as the truck passed by and all the people around had turned back and white losing all color but only the people, the builds and other objects remained the same being as colorful as ever.

when he tried to call out to someone or touch them, he would be ignored and his hands would go through them. He easily panicked and kept trying but soon gave up, even animal didn't seem to be able to see, hear or touch him. He didn't any understanding of what was happening until he heard a voice.

"Young man, you sure have little luck.... To have died in the exact moment of the law revision, I didn't even know that was possible." Said the mysterious voice with a pitying tone.

"What? Who are you?! What do you mean by 'died in the exact moment of law? Revision?'." Said Ky totally confused by the new information, he had already recovered from his panic and had decided to understand the situation he's in.

"Oh yeah, I keep forgetting you mortals are slow to catch up, such pain to have to explain everything," Said the mysterious voice with a troubled tone, not wanting to waste its time explaining things.

"HEY! You can't just say something so crazy and then talk like it has nothing to do with you! You have to explain things starting with your identity." Said with the air of an unfaired person since he believes he has the right to know what's going on.

"Ok, ok, chill man I'm just bored of having to do this all the time." Said the mysterious voice trying to justify itself.

"Didn't you just say you didn't know this was even possible?! Just tell me what's going on!" Ky said very dissatisfied with the lack of care demonstrated by the mysterious voice.

"Fine, fine, you really have no patience. So, you said my identity huh? Yeah about that, you're not qualified to know it and I'm not just being arrogant, you'll literally get hunted down for knowing who I am, especially in your current condition." Said the mysterious voice sounding as bored as ever.

"Just explain what you can then!" Said Ky while containing himself not to explode, he's already in a seemingly complicated situation and he doesn't need complicated people or whatever this mysterious voice is to deal with right now.
