Like all good stories, This one starts with the protaganist's brutal death. Ya know, Magnus Chase, Beatlejuice, Really Anything by George R.R. Martin...
Anyway This the story is How I died, Chose to go to the world of an Isekai Anime, Became Iron Man in a Medieval Fantasy world, Got a job as a Blacksmith, Made a Classic Tony Stark entrance when I met the Protagonist, Hooked up with a hot Lich Mage, built a Suit of armor for my Thicc Undead GF, and had my AI diss a Goddess. Not necessarily in that order..
This Is the Tale of the Steel Sentinal.
It All started when I was Picking up a Pizza. I called in the Order doing a Jigsaw voice, because I was bored. The year was 2020, and as the world fell into shit I was skipping to my car whistling "Do you Believe in Magic"
Then out of nowhere, An 18-wheeler sped by. And I became a splatter on the pavement, along with my dinner.
At first There was just White...
Then I was in a big room. A grand Staircase was in the center of the room. I soon recognized where I was.
"Why am I in the Sanctum Santorum?"
A voice then answered "Oh, that's where we are. Each person sees something different." I was honestly confused and saw a dude with a beard and white robes walk down the stairs.
"G-god?" I asked.
The man chuckled "Not Quite, I just use this form as it makes the most sense. However given where we are I think this form might be more appropriate." he snapped his fingers and turned into the Late comic-book legend Stan Lee. He was dressed in the outfit Stan had in Lego Marvel Superheroes (but he wasn't a Minifig, obviously).
I'm willing to admit, I cried a little. I've never met Stan Lee before. "S-so Am I dead, Is this Heaven?" I stamered (huh I guess reading all that MHA fanfiction was getting to me).
"Not Quite, True Believer... Much like how Valhalla is where those who died with a weapon in their hand go, or Hotel California for those who died traveling, This is where those killed by trucks go when they die." Not-Stan explained with a chuckle.
"Wait, Hotel California? like The Eagles song..." I asked.
"Yes Like The Eagles song. Anyway, Let me just look at your file here, and Wow, your Life Sucked..." said Stan.
"Thanks, I always wanted to here that from my Generalisamo" I said dryly.
"Oh no, It's not a bad thing here. It means you get the deluxe Package..."
"What's in the Deluxe Package?" I asked.
"Well For starter you get a translator that makes it so that you can read, Write and speak in the same language as 95% of the population. You can make a new appearance, you get to choose where and when you go, you get to Choose whether you're reborn or just appear there. And you get Two bonus Cheat item thingys..." explained Stan The Man.
Huh, Neat..
It was then I was met with a Character Design Menu Screen.. After scrolling through a wide array of options I went with the one that most closely resembaled myself, albeit slightly more fit.. As for Where and When in time.. I had those set to random... and as for the world... I closed my eyes and randomly selected one.. [KONOSUBA]
