Chapter 1: Second life
In a dimly lit room stands a youthful boy around the age of fifteen. He stands over a coffin, or at least that's what it looks like. Numerous cables are connected to it. He is waiting for something, something that is supposed to change his life.
(Pov ???)
"Finally, I got it I got the TC."
"It took me so long to earn it. Everything I had to do to get it."
An invisible tear slowly rolls down my face. I was happy, but that's an understatement. My entire body and soul express joy.
I can't wait any longer; I'm just waiting for the TC to connect to my apartment.
This year, Earth has reached a critical state. Trees no longer grow anywhere, there is no greenery. Flora and fauna are just history now. Food is artificially produced.
In the year 2101, the year I was born, Earth was already in a deep crisis caused by the Third and Fourth World Wars. It wasn't about food, but about the wars polluting the entire Earth. Many people died, as well as almost all vegetation and animals. People learned their lesson, but it was already too late.
Scientists from all over the world tried to find a solution to restore what the war had caused. The last idea was to colonize another planet, but it wasn't possible because we didn't know where to send the rocket. The entire sky was filled with gases.
Conditions on Earth started deteriorating.
Through machines, carbon dioxide could be recycled into oxygen. Waste began to overflow, with nowhere to put it, so it is thrown onto the streets. It cannot be burned because it would worsen the conditions for life. People have to wear protective suits, and gas masks, and carry oxygen tanks when outside. The land area is smaller due to the melting of all the glaciers. And the weather is becoming extreme.
And then a glimmer of hope emerged. In 2098, they created what's called the TC, or Transmigration Coffin, which transfers the human soul to another world of our choosing. The program is called Second Life and offers a chance to experience a new life.
I was born into a family of entrepreneurs, and I was an only child. Since I was young, I was fascinated by the TC, so I started saving from a young age. I was still a child, so they thought I would outgrow it eventually. I also watched a lot of old anime from that time, so other kids considered me strange. When I was eleven, my parents died from gas poisoning. Their oxygen tank got damaged by mistake. So, all the assets fell to me. I mourned for about a year. Then I slowly started recovering and taking any jobs I could find.
Then I got hope. The government started randomly distributing 1000 TC through lotteries, so I went all in. I sold everything I had, all my possessions, all the money I had saved throughout my life, and bought as many coupons as possible. So I ended up with five of them, and I wasn't the only one buying.
On the first three attempts, nothing happened. Second and third, also nothing. The fourth attempt was also unsuccessful. On the last attempt, I won. I was so happy. The last time I was this happy was when I was a child.
Before I could contemplate my life any further...
(The TC is fully charged and ready to connect to the apartment)

(Notice to the user, your help manager Cell is shutting down, thank you for your hard work Jhon)
"Thank you to Cell."

After a few long seconds of waiting on TC, it finally spoke.
[Hello master I'm TC your new assistant, how may I help you on this fine evening]
"TC open a coffin please and start a project Second Life. Oh and call me Jhon."
[Of course Jhon]
[Are you certain about starting the project Second Life Jhon?]
"Yes, start the project."
[Of course Jhon]
The coffin started to open
[Please remove your clothes and lay down in the coffin]
After removing my clothes I slowly approached the coffin and slowly lay in it
[Scanning individual Jhons brain]
[Scanning individual Jhons soul]
.
.
Then after the check-up. There was a red panel in front of me
[Welcome to the system Jhon. First, we would like to inform you that once you log into the game, there is no turning back. Your mind and body will be integrated into the world you have chosen. This is not a game. There is no return once you die]
[After you choose everything you need you will be transferred into your world the system will be no longer with you]
[Do you accept?]
[Y/N]
Duh... of course, yes. Who would want to live in this ball of smog and waste?"
[We officially welcome you to Second Life]
"I can't wait for my second chance."
[Please choose your new world]
'Hmm... I want to live in some magical world with action.
After a few minutes of thinking.
"TC can I go to the anime world?"
[****]
[Of course Jhon, any world you like]
"Then I would choose a world... Tensei shitara slime datta ken"
