Chapter 1: Dead Man, Phantom Wonderland

It's a rainy day no one's out in the streets, Its quite like no one's there, but in front of me is a cloaked man in all black, I look at him he those not look like any human I've ever seen. The eerie aura he produce brings anybody to a halt, his sinister grin while looking at me, it tells me he knows a lot about me yet I don't know who he was, I spoke to him.

"Who are you? And what do you want?" I said to him while the rain pours down on me.

"…." He look at me, not responding to my question.

"Answer me damn it! Who or what are you?!" I started to panic as he got closer to me, I started to back away.

"….Hehehe" He chuckled at me, he got faster in walking near me, I started to back away step by step.

"I said answer?! Why won't you answer damn it?! I closed my eyes, as I wait for my demise, but it never happened, I open my eyes.

He was in front of me, he put his hand on my shoulder and look in my eyes, his grin softed it wasn't a sinister grin anymore, its more so a grin of a proud parent, It was strange to me but I kmow one thing, it doesn't matter anymore because of one reason, I was dead at the start.

I didn't want to belive that I was dead, until I saw my corpes, I remember now how I died, I was hit by truck and got crush by steel beams, it was painful to look at my corpes, I lose my life at an early age I didn't even said goodbye to my family, I parted with them in a bad way it makes me want to look at the world and ask why, why did it have to end this way, I died with nothing accomplish, nothing to say that I'm proud that I did that, what I did was only filled with regrets.

"Hehehe do you want a second chance? Young man"A deep voice said to me, I looked at him with a confused expression.

"What? What do you mean by second chance?" I was confuse now to what he meant, is he serious or is he insane, wait he talked to me? How.

"Hehehe I meant want I said young one, a second chance to live" He said it once again, I couldn't belive he said it was imposible to bring anyone dead back life, you only see that in fantasies, I'm thinking of a logical answer to what he said, all I can think was it was a joke to get my hopes up.

"No no this must be a joke! No one can die and live again like its some kind of a bullshit fantasy!" I yelled at him, with eyes that said "I don't belive you", I keep beliving it was a joke, until he said something that made me speachless.

"Hmph, belive on what you want to belive, but what's left to lose at this point, you can risk a chance to live again or do you want to stay a ghost to society?" He said it in a way that my spine shiever, it wasn't normal at all, his offer is tempting, I'm split from the decision of accepting the offer or don't.

I was in a stalemate by the choises in my hand, I can't choose because of the consequences of each action, but finally I decide, I want to live, but with with a new life instead of being revieve, I spoke to the man in the cloak.

"*sigh* I guess you won, I want to live…"The man's eyes light up when I said it.

"hehehe a wise choice, so you see the light of life an-" I cut him off.

"Not so fast" He looked at me with a confuse look, I continued " I was about to say only in one condition, I want to live in a different wolrd and a new life" I said, I don't know what is his reaction on that.

"Hehehehe…..hehehehe Hahahahaha!" He laugh like no tomorrow, but look at me with a smile that has lots of happiness in continued "Great choice! A new life is an amazing request, I respect your request because of it being an honest request,you noble young man" with that I smiled, it was a long long time ago when I last smiled.

He hold out his hands and a small light glowed from both of his hands, the light from both hands we're like a black fiery energy,it was over whelming so to say, he spoke to me as the finale in this world comes.

"From these point on, I Aszelf while grant this young man the power of a Phantom!" He started a chant, and now I know his name, it's Aszelf huh, well its an interesting name, He continued the chant " Let his life come back to him, but a cost of being new,I will grant a second chance to my blood oath, I ask you nowm young man, to grant your wish yell out from the heart and mind your!" He said, I think it's a signal to me, I inhaled as much as I can.

"Sega my name is Sega!" My voice is heard by the man as the fiery black energy surrounded me and energy poured in my veins,the feeling is incredible and painful, as if my body is about to explode.

"Sega you are now part of thy oath, as a man and a spirit, you will be reform into a Phantom! A being that is both god and demon, Sega your world awaits you!"He finsish his chant and the light swallowed me whole, " Good luck young man, you will find far worse punishment in that world than here, but I have faith in your abilities and skills that you will survive and find people important to you" Aszelf moved away with high respects to Sega.

I was unconscious but a light made me open my eyes, I realize that I'd doze off while covered in that fiery black energy, but something is different more so to say I'm in a different location, I'm forest but it looks like a mix nature and technology is what I see.

"wh-where am I? Is this the new world?" I was really astonish at the sight, Aszelf was telling the truth, but am I alive?, " Maybe I should test if I'm really alive" So I bite down on my hand, until the numbing sensation of pain and blood is on my hand, I knew I was alive, my face expresses the joy, happiness, and trill of life.

But I suddenly feel nauseous and pain the instant I finish cherring, I collaspe and knock out. Is this the end, but suddenly I woke up, I'm in an apartment bed room, but I didn't own an apartment, and I was in a forest, the color of the walls is a light tan, there is desk with a lot of medical books, also the color is the with the walls, it has a pink couch and a center table, the room has two stuffed animals, one of which is a pink octopus and the other one I can't identify it, next to the two stuffed animals was a table lamp with a pink lamp shade, also there are pink curtains with a heart design on it, and finally the thing I'm concerned with, the room has a fucking HUGE syringe, like fifty times the size of a regular syringe!? Like hell is that for giants geeez.

Looking away the syringe I saw a photo, the photo's content was an old man and a little girl both happy and smiling, it honestly makes me sad to look at it, it reminds me of the family that cried when I died.

" I see your awake" I heard a woman's voice, and directed my sight to the voice. "Hello there! My name is Compa" She said.
