What if Rukia had never shown up and given Ichigo Shinigami powers? What if the hollow killed him instead? How would this affect Aizen's plans of betrayal? Ichigo finds himself eaten by a hollow shortly after death and awakens within the desolate realm of Hueco Mundo as a Gillian. With only fragmented memories of his past life, he struggles to achieve purpose. Ichigo/harem

"Abandon your fear Ichigo, face forward. Move forward and never stop. Retreat and you will age, hesitate...and you will die. Together, we will ascend and tear the very heavens asunder."

Ichigo and Renji find a list of fifty things guaranteed to piss off Yamamoto. Oh, the horror.

Not in every universe does Ichigo choose Soul Society in favor of the real world. He was happy when he died at 121. Now its time to remember why everything seems so familiar in the afterlife.
