Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Tragedy

My name is Sato Ryuga, 29 years old. I am addict, I admit it. And I am even a little proud that in this day and age where people give up on their hobbies and settle for being "normal" that I am still being true to myself. In short, to put it in Japanese terms, I am an otaku.

But, that doesn't mean I don't still try to be normal in other ways. Because my parents want me to have a normal life, so I don't let them interfere with my life. I've lived a normal life, except for a few, specific things that is. Those are anime, manga, and light novels. Not to mention the miscellaneous Japanese collectibles relating to the aforementioned addictions. At first I tried to give up my addictions.

But I could never give them up, so I became a closet otaku. Nobody knows except for my parents, and I've been planning on letting my girlfriend know after our 1 year anniversary of dating.

I have a regular 9-5 job as a business man, just a generic background character. Like in anime where in the background is a vague blur that you can tell is a person but there are no details to the face.

Today is Saturday, and there is an event for one of my favorite anime of all time that I absolutely will not miss. I'm waiting at a street corner waiting for the cross light to say go so I can walk across. The light turned so I started to cross the street, about when I was halfway across I heard someone scream my name, I recognize that voice.

Oh, it's my girlfriend Yuki's voice.

I hear a sound like an engine coming closer to me so I look. And what do I see? I see a truck coming towards with a drunk driver asleep at the wheel. I don't try to dodge or save myself, because I remembered something from my most favorite genre of light novels, which is reincarnation. And it is that almost all protagonists die by being run over by a truck.

"This is so cliche, truck-sama."

But I do have a few regrets, one: I didn't confess to Yuki that I was an otaku, I really liked her. Second is: DAMN IT, I DIDN'T GET TO GO TO THE EVENT!!!!!!!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! *cough cough*

Oh well.

At least I'll be living the life of an anime character now so that makes it a little better.

*THUD*

I don't feel any pain, the driver was going fifty miles an hour anyway, the only reason I could even think through everything was because of the adrenaline rushing through my system. But even then, I didn't have time to dodge, only to think those words just before I died. As my consciousness fades, and then I think to myself.

Damn, I just now realized, what if I don't get reincarnated? Huh, oh well. What happens, happens.

And then I died, and all I saw was white.

Author/Editor Corner(Not part of main story, explanation in actual Author's thoughts)

Banish: So, here's the first chapter, hope anyone who reads this is happy with it, and laughed a few times at least. We will try to get one out in between our respective daily grinds every once in a while.

Karma: Sorry had to bold over italics. lol. But anyways, hope you liked the chapter. It's gonna get a lot weirder.

Banish: What? Why is this a competition of who has the better formatting on their name!? It doesn't matter! *Except that italics look cooler…*

Karma: Bold and italics! HA!

Banish: …

Karma: Both is definitely better, I'm sticking with this, you?

Banish: … Yeah…

Karma: OFFICIAL NAME FORMATTING DECIDED!!!!!

Banish: >.> This is going to be interesting…

Karma: It has me involved, of course it's going to be interesting! (⌊>-<⌋)

That last little excerpt is from the website this is originally on so it won't really make since here because of how it formats text, but it's part of the beginning of my journey writing this so I wanted to share it with you guys. Btw, Banish is my friend and I explained him a little better on the actual synopsis so if you want to check it out go ahead.
