The story began on the 7th of May,203×, When a part-timer of a Convenience store in a certain metropolis died, shot by a robber to the chest while trying to protect a fellow employee.

He was a person who kept a low profile and lived alone. He had neither friends nor family. His body was cremated in a crematorium and was attended by only his co-workers. The world was filled with tens of billions of human. His death was as insignificant event in this world. But this world is not the only world in existence.

*""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""*"""""""""*""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""*

It was cold and dark. He could neither see, hear or smell anything. He felt weightless and heavy at the same time. It was as if he was suffering from sleep paralysis except he was fully concious.

A ringing sound went out. It was a deafening noise. A voice came out. It sounded like an AI operator devoid of emotions and gender.

Year 12067 A.R.U

A Strange crack appeared in the barren land of Ardmoor. It was a black oval dimensional crack. There was a surge of energy and someone came walking out, his eyes black and his face, emotionless.

He was a tall and young man of around eighteen or nineteen. He had black wavy dark hairs and a tanned olive skin. His body was scrawny and thin. He was wearing a black tracksuit with hood and black running boots.

The fissure closed and he closed his eyes. He stood still in there until dawn when he finally opened his eyes.

"Where the fuck am I?," He shouted out loud, surprise written all over his face. Was there a forest in Brooklyn?

Alekkar Hemir was his name and he was in the right to be shock. He was standing at the cliff of an eroded tableland in the midst of a desert.

No way can he be in such a place. No way such green existed in the metropolis.

*Ding*

He stared at the screen. It was like in a virtual reality game. After the war ended, Virtual Reality game a became a thing. On his day off, Trent Sumit also used to visit the game bars to relax and play. The screen look just like in the game but it felt too different. All his senses were alive when was not so in games.As far as he Knew even the most advanced VR games had only the sense of sight and feeling. This felt too real.

"Did I reincarnate?" Said He, looking down at himself. He was in his normal tracksuit.

Before the war during his teenage years, he use to enjoy reading fictions on the net. Be even wanted to be a writer at that time. There was a popular troupe of fiction. Was it called Reincarnation with a system? Was it happening to me? There was only one way to check.

"Status." He shouted.

The blue screen appeared. It was written Avatar Status. There was also a 3D Image on the right. His jaw dropped. The Avatar was wrong. It was not him.... The him now. It was him during my college years and I was totally naked as well. He subconsciously touch my Avatar. It felt like touching a solid LED screen. The Avatar was a 3D version of himself from eighteen years ago.

Short dark hairs, lanky physique, brown eyes and that crooked nose. It was him alright.

He was wearing some sort of black hooded track shirt and track pant along with a black running sneaker.

He stood up and went to his bed. It was time for him to start the process.Alec sat down on his bed, crosslegged in a Yoga position. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply. He cleared his mind and focus on his breathing. Soon, he was in sync with his breathing. Alec drove his consciousness into his inner self. He focused on the circulation of his blood, the throbbing of his temple vein and his heart. After an hour, he felt it. In his nerves, something along with the bloods were circulating. It was warm and cold at the same time. The first time he focused on it, he felt a tingling on his spine, like an electric shock. His senses flare open. Pain shot through his body as if his entire body was full of open pores and air were escaping from his body. Alec temporarily lost his focus and open his eyes, gasping for breath. The
