It was a sunny day. Alex, dressed in a suit and tie, was heading to work at the game programming company. Upon arriving, his boss approached him with a question: "You haven't forgotten about our agreement, have you, Alex?"Alex looked at his boss, slightly embarrassed, and sarcastically replied: "No."But, in truth, Alex had forgotten that he would be working a double shift that day.A few hours passed. Alex was exhausted. It was almost midnight when he finally decided to go home. Stepping out of the office, he saw that the weather had turned; it was raining, and he was without an umbrella.Alex looked up at the sky and muttered: "I hope I don't catch a cold running through this rain."He decided to run home, as he lived only one block away from the building. After a few minutes of running in the rain, Alex finally arrived home, eager to rest.He went straight to the bathroom, took off his clothes, and sank into the bathtub. There, Alex drifted into his own thoughts, reflecting on what it would be like to have a good financial standing. He thought about the orphanage that had taken him in and how he could help the people who had helped him.Alex realized he had drifted too far: the bathtub was overflowing. "Damn it!" he exclaimed, quickly starting to dry the floor he had soaked.Afterward, he dried himself and put on his blue bear pajamas. Leaving the bathroom, he went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. Then, he lay down to sleep.As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep. Alex had an unusual dream: he began to dream that he was falling into a bottomless abyss.He woke up startled, trembling with fear, and looked at his own hands. Sweating profusely, he turned his head to the right and looked out the window. The rain had already stopped.Alex began to hear dogs barking, but he ignored it and closed his eyes again.It was then that two thieves appeared. Dressed in black and wearing balaclavas, Thief Number 1 gave a nod of confirmation to Number 2. They then forced open the doorknob of Alex's house.Alex woke up immediately. Thief Number 1 rushed toward the living room to check for valuables. Hearing the sound of the break-in, Alex decided to hide in his bedroom closet, sweating cold.Thief Number 2 was responsible for lookout, searching for signs of security, while Thief 1 stole potentially valuable items.Alex swallowed hard and gathered his courage. He began to open the closet slowly, making no sound. Meanwhile, Thief Number 1 continued to add Alex's belongings to his black bag.Alex grabbed a golf club he kept under his bed and headed for the living room, walking very slowly. He found the thief stealing some items and putting them in the bag. Alex waited for the thief to turn his back, and then struck him on the head. The thief fell unconscious.Alex quickly grabbed his cell phone from his wooden desk, breathing heavily and sweating. He dialed the police, but he hadn't expected there to be another thief.Thief Number 2 slowly entered the room, pistol in hand, and saw Alex with the phone the thief quickly grabbed it from his hand. Thief Number 2, pistol in hand, saw Alex with the cell phone and quickly struck him with the butt of the gun, knocking him unconscious.A few minutes later, Alex woke up inside his room. He was sitting in a chair, his mouth gagged and his hands tied. He looked ahead and saw the two thieves arguing.Thief Number 1 said that the information delivered to him was that there was no one in the house.Thief 2 asked: "And now, what are we going to do with him?"Thief Number 1 replied: "I'm going to execute him. Even though he hasn't seen our faces, he might be able to describe our voices to the police. Better safe than sorry."Alex began to struggle, his eyes filling with tears, knowing he was about to die. Thief 2 kicked Alex in the stomach. Alex fell to the floor, chair and all, and Thief 2 yelled: "Shut up!"Alex, face down on the floor, breathing heavily, watched as the two thieves began to kick him while he was tied up. They stomped, stomped, and stomped until Thief Number 2 delivered a final kick to Alex's face.Alex's vision began to blur. Then, Thief Number 1 took his pistol, unlocked the safety, and fired the final shot into Alex's head.Alex was definitely dead. Well, at least that's what he thought.Opening his eyes, Alex was in a dark place, like the sky, but instead of being bright, it was dark with stars. He looked up and could see the stars. He looked at the ground and saw nothing.Then, a gate opened in front of Alex. Without understanding, Alex stopped and just watched what emerged from the gate: something out of the ordinary, a being of light of human size, completely white, without clothes. Only the eyes of that being were visible.Alex asked: "What is your name?"The being replied: "I am God, and I believe you are Alex, aren't you? Well, you are going to reincarnate into a new world. This world has various races: humans, monsters, demons, and so on."Alex looked directly into God's eyes and asked if he would be some kind of hero, if he would have to save the world or something like that.God created a cup of tea, took a sip, and replied: "No, you will have no obligations in this world."Alex looked at God, all excited, and asked: "And what about my powers? I'm going to be mega powerful, right?"God, scratching his head, replied: "Well, in this world where you are going to reincarnate, you are not born with a skill. Over time, you develop skills. And besides the skill you automatically develop over time living in this world, since you are a reincarnator, I will give you a bonus."Alex asked: "Seriously? What bonus will I get?" Alex looked at God with shining eyes, excited again.God said: "Hold on there, champ. This other skill will also awaken over time, but it will be an Ultimate Skill. Well, my work here is done. Good luck in the new world. Try not to die easily."God extended his hand to Alex. Alex said: "You can count on me. I am ready..."
