A Quite Technological Revolution Of Life In This Wonderful World

Prologue [Data Upload]

In a room bathed in the gentle morning sunlight, an assortment of futuristic computers, peculiar gadgets, and eccentric tools come into view as the day begins. Stirring from his slumber, a teenage boy struggles to rise from his bed, compelled by the light's touch, and he sets about the task of tidying his unique, technology-laden space. After a bit of morning housework, he descends the stairs seeing his auntie in the kitchen, busily preparing breakfast. He goes to the bathroom but it's lock. He hears his uncle voice meaning he is still using.

Not one to wait around, the boy heads outside to a faucet for a quick gargle before rejoining his family at the breakfast table. After breakfast and bath, he donned in a white t-shirt beneath his striking blue neon hoodie, with gray neon pants and a sleek black cap, he heads out, his feet clad in the stylish Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next% 2 sneakers.

???: I'm heading out for a while. (Aalis ako saglit.)

???: Take care. (Ingat.)

In the bustling urban city, the boy day took a drastic turn. After hours spent in the lively downtown, he hopped on a jeepney and began his journey back home. The walk was quite a stretch, as this route wasn't the main thoroughfare, reserved for those fortunate enough to own vehicles.

As he ambled along, lost in thought, he failed to notice the old, weathered electric wooden pole beside him. Time had not been kind to it, and in a moment of cruel fate, the pole crashed to the ground right before him, its wires lashing out like venomous snakes. In a flash, he was electrocuted to death, and his world plunged into darkness.

But what awaited him on the other side was beyond anything he could have imagined. He awoke in a room bathed in an otherworldly light, his surroundings completely foreign. An office desk stood before him, and across from it sat a girl with striking silvery hair and eyes as blue as the clearest sky.

???: Shawn Michael Saborrido, welcome to the afterlife. Your earthly journey has come to a close.

Saborrido: 'Is she speaking in english? I guess I have to do the same.' ('Nagsasalita ba siya ng ingles? Sa palagay ko kailangan kong gawin ng parehong.') Is this... the afterlife? And who are you, ma'am?

Eris: Yes, you're in the afterlife, and I am Eris. I'm here to help young souls like you who have passed away in Japan.

Saborrido: 'Japan? But I'm from the Philippines. What's happening here!?'

In the enigmatic afterlife, Saborrido's mind raced with confusion as he flip back his hoodie revealing an atom symbol on his cap. He questioned Eris, the goddess who had summoned him.

Saborrido: Helping young souls from Japan? I'm a Filipino, not a Japanese. Why am I here?

Eris, with a hint of mischief in her eyes, explained.

Eris: Well, I was in the mood for a little adventure, so I scoured the world for a worthy soul. It's against the rules, but I thought I'd make a rare exception.

Saborrido sighed, shaking his head.

Saborrido: Okay, just don't let the higher-ups catch you. What's next?

Eris, after a moment of contemplation, replied.

Eris: Now, setting aside your untimely demise, you have two choices. The first choice is to get reincarnated in a place like the Philippines, but you'll lose all your memories. The second choice is embark on an epic journey in a fantasy world, where you'll be tasked with defeating the Devil King. You'll retain your past memories and get to choose a unique ability or a special tool.

In the ethereal realm of the afterlife, Saborrido found himself facing a critical decision. Two choices lay before him, each offering a distinct path for his spiritual journey. The first option was to return to his homeland in the Philippines, a place he cherished dearly. However, this path came at a cost it entailed the complete erasure of his earthly memories, leaving him with a clean slate to start a new life.
