It was a regular morning for Joshua, being another walk to school to repeat the usual routine. However, today would be the day that his life changed forever, for better or for worse. Whilst walking, he had heard the sound of crying, and it sounded like that of a little boy. Being the kind hearted person he was, Joshua stumbled upon a horrifying scene. A little boy, who was around the age of 6 or 7 was backed against the wall and an older man, who seemed to be around 29 to 30. In the latter's hand happened to be a gun, and well, you already know how this goes. That is, the boy would have died at a young age, with so much life ahead of him he never could have experienced, but Joshua had taken the bullet in the boy's place. It was then that the high schoolers life flashed before his eyes. Before he could pass out, he had one thing to say to the boy.
"Call...the police...." Before the child could even comprehend the situation, a stranger took s bullet for him in the heat of the moment, Joshua was dead.

A faint groan came out of the teenager who had taken a bullet to the kindergartener just moments prior. Joshua woke up in a black space, seemingly devoid of life or color, and once the adolescent stared at his chest, which had a hole the size of a bullet where his lung should be, it hit him.
Oh my god....I'm dead, I'm dead.... I'M DEAD?! Before he could panic any further, a blinding light appeared before him. It seemed like forever until it died out to reveal that of a woman, and even then, she still had a glowing aura surrounding her.
"Greetings my child, my name is Shigami, I am a goddess. Please sit down," Upon hearing this, the adolescent complied to her request, feeling that she had the authority that a goddess so rightfully deserves, "You unfortunately died at the hands of a man who was a victim of a broken mind. I am in need of your assistance. You see my land has fallen under the rule of the Eclipse Empire, and I need heroes to overthrow them. Of course, I'm not forcing you into anything, you have a choice here. You can help me with my cause, or you can go into heaven and live a peaceful lifestyle," The goddess concluded, now awaiting the response of her guest. In truth, the offer to go to heaven seemed tempting, however, Joshua wanted to help the world that was suffering, seven if he didn't do much, every bit counts, right?
"I will take you up on your request to save your world, just tell me what I need to do," At this Shigami let out a cheerful grin which eminated with child-like joy.
"Splendid! You shall take one item with you into the world I will send you into," Joshua took a moment to consider what he wanted to have before entering a new world.
"I would like a sword that perfectly fits me, I'll need to defend myself after all,"
The goddess nodded as a green-hilted sword with an emerald gem at the center of that hilt materialized in the boy's right hand as he was sent to the fantasy world.
