Chapter 3: Chapter 1: The End and The Beginning
The skies were dark, a heavy storm cloud looming over the city. Archer felt the weight of the world on his shoulders as he walked through the streets, lost in thought. His mind was filled with questions. Why did he feel so disconnected from the world? Why was he always seeking answers in stories of ancient gods and mythical beings?
He didn't know it, but today would be the day that changed everything.
The car crash was inevitable. It happened in a flash, a screech of tires, a moment of terror, and then darkness.
In his final breath, Archer felt an overwhelming sense of peace. A voice, deep and ancient, echoed within his mind: "Archer, do you desire a second chance?"
The void stretched around him, but the fire was growing. A divine, unrelenting heat filled the space. His heart raced, not out of fear, but out of awe.
The Fire God spoke again: "I shall grant you the power of the flame. Reborn in a world of chaos, you shall serve as the balance."
The next moment, Archer was falling, swirling through the cosmos, and when he awoke, his body was different—stronger, more powerful. A new world awaited him, a world where his flames would burn brightly.
