The now 19-year-old Todd Maclaren rides his dirt bike on a track at a breakneck speed. Around a month ago Todd celebrated his 19th birthday and loved every moment of it. Ever since his Tour of the Americas a couple of years ago has been more committed than ever to make the most out of life.
Todd pulled up to the car park and parked his bike beside his pick-up truck. He took off his helmet and walked his bike to the back. He checked his smartwatch and saw he had messages on his phone. Just as he was about to load his bike onto the truck bed Todd felt a pain in his chest causing him to double over and fall on his back, the pain being absolutely unbearable. Todd crawled over to his truck and tried to open the door as his phone was in the glove box. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach it. Todd attempted to stand but his legs were unable to hold himself up Todd then fell on the ground and lay in a fetal position clutching his chest where his heart is. Just as he was passing out, two people pulled into the car park, one pulled out a phone and called for an ambulance and the other quickly ran up to Todd.
Todd woke up on a hospital bed, wired up to a heart monitor. He couldn't move or speak due to a breathing tube in his mouth. He heard the beeping of the heart monitor right next to his bed. he looked forward and saw a figure standing at the foot of his bed. The figure was human-like and wore a sort of ballistic military combat armor, they also had two weapon stocks on their back. Todd wanted to scream but for some reason, he was unable to move. Suddenly the beeping of the heart rate monitor began to increase in speed, Todd felt the pain in his heart fire up as his vision faded once again. At that moment the sound of several people entered the room.
From the corner, Jorge watched as the doctors attempted to resuscitate Todd, although he knew there was nothing that could be done for him, no human medication could repair a human soul. The heart rate then flatlined, the dreadful sound piercing everyone's ears as the doctors and nurses backed away from Todd's motionless body.

Jorge walked through a grand hall and came to a large double door flanked by armored guards, with sharp halberds, Jorge saluted them before entering. A tall, winged figure stood behind her desk, looking out the large window.
Jorge spoke up "My lady I have grave news"
Without turning around the creature spoke "I know I felt it"
The spawn just stayed quiet before asking "Now what?"
"Our objective remains the same, we keep an eye on him"
Jorge raised an eyebrow "Make sure no one robs his grave?" he asked
The creature spoke up "No, where he currently is right now"
Jorge thought about it for a moment and then put it all together "You don't mean..."
The baroness stayed quiet providing Jorge the answer
"How is that even possible?..."
Todd gasped and immediately sat up, breathing heavily. He rubbed his face only to find that he was wearing his helmet and goggles. 'What? I was not wearing this in hospital...'
He sat on his knees where he noticed that he was sitting on a bed of marigold petals with a bridge extending to an area called "New Arrivals"
Todd's Blood froze
He slowly looked up and saw a very familiar sight, the cityscape of another world. Todd looked down at his gloved hands, very slowly he pulled one off what met his gaze was a hand devoid of flesh. He pulled the other glove off and saw his other hand was the same.
'no...'
He took off his helmet and goggles, using his goggles as a mirror he saw his reflection, no flesh, and eyes floating in hollow sockets. He dropped the goggles as he fully realized the situation.
He was dead
