Chapter 1
"That'll be 130 yen." A young man said. "A 130 yen?! It was only 100 yen last week! Are you trying to scam me?!" The young man continued to smile calmly. "That item has been very popular lately, so the manager increased the price." Suddenly the customer grabbed the young man by his collar. "It. Is. Only. 100. Yen." The customer growled. "..." The young man went silent but the smile on his face remained. "Please pay the current price if you wish to purchase this item." SLAP! "Screw this! I'm going to another store!" The customer exited the store. The young man sighed. "Well, that hurt."
"You're fired." The young man turned to the source of the voice, eyes wide. "Huh?" It was none other than the manager of the store. The manager glared at him. "We lost a regular customer because of you. You're fired." "Huh- But-" 'You were the one who changed the price.' He thought to himself but didn't say anything. "Leave."

"Sigh... I can't believe I got fired..." he shook his head. "no, let's stay positive! there's other work opportunities! It'll be fine—" BEEEEEEP...! "?!" A truck drove rapidly, unable to stop. BEEEEEEP...!

The sound of chatter and sirens. "Hey! Hang in there, dude!" "Someone call the hospital!" "The poor young boy!" "Waaaahh!" "Get help...!"
'Ah... It hurts...' He laid on the ground, a pool of blood forming rapidly underneath him. 'What did I do... to deserve this...?"
...
He closed his eyes.

Kiritani Sora, at the age of 18, passed away due to an unfortunate accident.
On the day he was born his parents had sent him to the orphanage. He would always help out in the orphanage. Even though he wasn't biologically related to anyone there, he though of everyone in the orphanage as his family. So despite being abandoned he had a happy childhood.
But one day, he was late to arrive back to the orphanage after his classes ended because he was saving a cat from a tree. And when he arrived the orphanage had burned into ashes.
He didn't have that much money so he dropped out of school to focus on working. Whenever he had extra money to spare he would buy cat food to feed stray cats. He would volunteer in things and help his neighbors with whatever they needed. He was a kind young man. But fate was a cruel thing and his life had ended.
Chapter 2
The wind breeze brushed against Sora's face. He slowly opened his eyes. "?!" He sat up. "What the—" He looked at his hands. "I'm... alive...?" He looked at the scenery in front of him. It made his eyes widen even more. It was different. How could Tokyo change in a day? He stood up. "What...? Where am I...?"
...
...
The sound of people laughing and chatting happily, and the scent of all different types of food stalls. There were no large buildings anywhere, the country looked straight out of a fantasy movie. Everyone spoke in a language he couldn't understand. What in the world was going on?
He bumped into someone making their bag of groceries fall. "Sorry! I didn't see you there!" He quickly apologized and knelt down to pick up the fallen fruits. The person he bumped into knelt down in front of him and began to pick up the fruits as well. Sora looked at the person wearing a hood. His eyes widened. "Don't worry, it's alright." Her voice was soft and gentle, it sounded like music to his ears. She was beautiful, with her pale skin, big round eyes, and that smile. But that wasn't what shocked him. What shocked him is how he instantly recognized her.
He used to work at a shop that sold video games, and he studied all about different types of games in order to better assist his customers. And this girl was... A character from a video game...?
