Chapter 1: Prologue: Of Bombs and Boons

"So as I was saying, you really should take some more time off!" said a loud person on the phone. 

"I know James," Ken said, "Which is why I'm actually taking a few weeks off anyway, so spend your nagging on someone else who cares."

The speaker, James, replied back, "Good! I don't know why you don't go out and do anything fun, I rarely see you even smile at work, I can't imagine what you do at home. Do you even have any other friends then me?"

"I totally do, I just never talk about them." Ken said back, which also was a lie, the only friend he could say he even had was the stray cat that wandered around his apartment, and even then that cat did what it wanted without any care of Ken's attempted petting.

"Uh huh, I completely believe that. Since you are taking some time off I have a few things you could go to, events to get you out of the house if you're interested." James said sarcastically.

"I have my own stuff planned, I'll see you in two weeks though. Bye." Ken, cut the coworker off and shut down his phone. He had planned a calm two weeks to binge watch movies and shows in the comfort of his living room. Who cares what his coworker thought about Ken's idea of fun. Ken knew what he liked.

Someone checked him as they ran by, and by someone like a mob of people running and not in the 'exercise' type of way. Looking up Ken noticed what they were running from, A figure in a black hoodie with bombs strapped to his waist. Ken, like a normal human being, joined the crowd and ran too, though Ken was too slow.

With a blast of hot air behind him, and a tumble, Ken lastly thought to himself. "Who's body is that? The explosion wasn't close enough for that much damage to happen to someone." Before his thoughts faded.

 

===========================================

 

Ken awakened to the sound of wind in his ears, and the faint ringing of an alarm. Opening his eyes he saw two things, one of which made him nearly pass out again. He was falling, like straight diving into a heavily forested grove. Ken quickly spread his arms and legs to try and slow his fall, grasping at straws trying to figure out how to stop. The alarm in his head quickly annoying him.

"Stop ringing! I'm going to die and I do not want to be mad about it!" He screamed through the wind.

With no other option Ken chose to take damage resistance, since it might be the only one that might make him survive this fall. Flailing wildly to try and slow his fall, he orients, aiming to land feet first. With a sudden horrible burning on both of his legs Ken screamed, the wind cutting off his yells through the air. With a crash Ken slams into the trees but barely notices it from the pain in his legs. He hit the ground, unconscious from the pulsing pain.
