Ah!~ Life... So beautiful and yet so fragile.

A bit of a sad way to start a story isn't it? However~ Guess who just died?

Yes, me! The MC of the story!

Oh? Nope, I didn't get hit by a truck...

Ahem! Let me tell you about my mortal life before I ended up as whatever the hell I am right now...

So, I was born as a boy in your typical hard-working family. No, I'm not Japanese, I'm Romanian. Good ol' politically corrupt Romania! Well, enough with the unimportant details... I grew up quite normal. I wasn't bullied, I wasn't the bully, I wasn't the hot guy in the class nor the disgusting guy who kept digging for gold up his nasal cavity. I was... average. I went to an average High School. I studied at the University Politehnica București and became a sales manager at a sweets company. What? Not everyone who goes there ends up as an engineer. Even if we get the diploma, many of us wandered off in completely unexpected directions, but that's life. Anyway, to escape my boredom, I bought a good computer and started to play games. Aaand I played a lot... I mean seriously, my collection was impressive! Good ol' Seasonal Sales!

Hm? A few of you are wondering if I ended up as a creepy old otaku? More or less... My snickering during certain anime scenes crept out my girlfriend major time! Nonetheless, before this pure angel flew into my arms, I achieved the condition to become a wizard! In other words... 30 years old virgin...

So how did I die? Well, while Alina was out shopping with her mom for a dress, since we were supposed to go together to a friend's wedding, I was inside my private room playing Ultrademons 3. The game appeared a month before, and it was amazing! Well, 2023 tech does wonders when it comes to graphics, unfortunately, I wasn't rich enough to own a VR set.

While I was playing, I suddenly heard a loud bang and died...

And there I was, waiting for my beautiful... huh? I didn't finish the story? Tch... stupid author.

So, the reason why I died, huh? I found that out AFTER I died from two souls who kicked the bucket around the same time as me. While I was playing, an accident took place in front of my apartment building. A taxi driver smashed into a police car. The drivers died instantly, but the criminal the officers caught survived without a scratch. The bastard rushed into my apartment building after he stole the guns and ammo from the two officers in the car, one who was heavily injured and the other dead. He picked a random door, shot the lock, entered the apartment, emptied the fridge, made a few calls and then he found me. I didn't hear him since I was playing with my headphones on. I'm never buying noise canceling headphones again! Anyway, he panicked and well did the most stupid thing imaginable, he shot me point blank in the back of my head.

I'm sorry man, I really am... said the taxi driver who was apologizing to the cop.

'What about me?!' I wanted to scream, but I abstained. It wasn't their fault the criminal was a lunatic...

Sigh, but what now?

Children... come! a voice called to us.

A bright light appeared before me. Without a worry, I went closer to it. I didn't have many regrets, I wished I could have finished my game and more importantly... propose to Alina, my girlfriend. Sigh... I guess it was time to meet my pretty Valkyries. I was an orthodox christian, but the idea of beautiful war maidens coming to greet me to take me to Heaven sounded nice... Ah~, my beautiful Valkyries!

The light vanished and there was darkness around me...

Huh? What? Where? Where are my Valkyries? A cute angel chick would be good as well... I'm not picky... Erm? Hello? I shouted, but there was only darkness around me.
