I'm sitting in class when the teacher asks, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
I glance around. My dad is a firefighter, my mom a police officer. It makes sense that I'd end up following one of their paths.
"A police officer," I answer without thinking too much.
After school, my best friend Tae Hyun waves at me.
"Hey, Jihoon! Want to go to the PC room with some friends?" he asks.
"Sure," I say, shrugging. "I've got nothing else to do."
We spend the next four hours gaming nonstop. Time flies as we laugh, compete, and tease each other over the screen. Eventually, we say our goodbyes, and I start walking home.
The streets are quiet, and I'm almost at my house when something catches my eye. A kid is staring at his phone, stepping straight into the street without noticing the car speeding toward him.
"Hey! Watch out!" I yell.
Without thinking, I sprint toward him and push him out of the way. But before I can step back, the car hits me. Pain explodes through my body, and everything goes black.
[You have died.]
I wake up in a void of complete darkness. Panic hits me. Where am I? What just happened?
A soft light appears, and in front of me stands a girl—her aura radiant yet otherworldly.
Goddess: I am the goddess of reincarnation-"
I stumble backward. "Where… where am I? What's happening? Take me back!
She tilts her head slightly, as if amused by my confusion. "You died saving a child from a car accident. That act of courage has earned you a second chance at life. A new world awaits you.
Goddess: But i must warn you in this world mana flows through it and their are many dangerous monsters roaming around in the wild every one in this world has an everyone has an attribute window you will also have one just like theirs that's all I have to tell you
She tells me to close my eyes when i finally open them I find myself standing in the middle of nowhere
