Chapter 1: Death and Rebirth

"HAHAHA," my voice rang out in laughter, "HAHAhahahaa..." My voice started to die out, my chest constricted, my hand shot up to my chest. I looked in fear to my friends as I fell to the floor struggling to breathe.

But no help came.

They continued to laugh at me, thinking I was fooling around and playing around. How could they think straight anyway? We were all popping molly, we were all too high off our heads to think straight. By the time they knew something was wrong, it was too late. I slipped in-between bouts of unconsciousness. I was only aware what happened around me for small periods of time.

A loud siren then the inside of an ambulance. Suddenly, I was being rushed across a hallway, my parents looking over me with worry. I tried to reach up and wipe my mom's tears away. What were they afraid of? My body felt warm and comfortable. I was heading towards the light at the end of hallway.

Blackness.

I opened my eyes to a vast blackness surrounding me. Last thing I remember was heading into the light. There was no pain anymore. I must have been dead. But where was I? Was I in limbo?

My chuckled to myself as I reflected on my life. How could I end up in Heaven? The only son to billionaires and I wasted all my good fortune. Iwas lauded when I was younger for being a genius, went through high school with straight 'A's through my own merit, yet here I am, dead because I overdosed. What happened wrong? Family pressure... I guess. I was pressured to follow the family line and become the next CEO, but I wanted none of that.

I can say with certainty that geniuses wasted their time, not because we were lazy but because we could. We knew what we could do. I didn't study a bit in high school yet I still got 'A's and that continued through my university life. I become lazy, complacent and associated with the wrong peoplew. Most of the time I wasted was either reading, play games or painting and at night I went to strip clubs and partied.

I was seen as a failure. I genius turned frat-boy but I didn't care. I enjoyed life... until it fizzled out.

As I floated in this abyss, thinking, a strange entity floated towards me. "Hello," a pleasant voice called out to me.

I twisted my body in shock, surprised by the existence of someone else... More like an entity. It was a mass of white, oddly reminiscent of a cloud and I blurted out stupidly, "God?"

It seemed to chuckle,"No my good boy. Many call me God but..." it fizzled out. "What am I exactly?" it pondered out loud.

I stared at in disbelief as a cloud talked out loud. Guessing it must be some figment of my imagination I implored, "Perhaps you are something I want you to be."

It chuckled in response and reverted back to its silence. Suddenly, it spoke, "A cloud is what you want? Don't be silly my boy. Let me change to something else." With that the cloud seemed to implode on itself. It expanded back out into a humanoid figure. Slowly details filled out and next to me was my dad. Something in my heart lurched. It came crashing down the horrible fate I left to my parents. Their only son dead. My eyes started to tear up and my 'dad' reached out and wiped them away.

"No need to cry. I am only the thing you most desire right now." It said in a fatherly tone. It rubbed my back and handed my handkerchief as I sobbed at what I had done. I had left my parents behind with my dead body. Their only son... dead.

Slowly I calmed down and inquired, "where are we?"

It was slow to respond, "I'm not sure, actually. But I can say, it is your world. This world will be important to you." With that he started to walk away.

I looked at him in fear, "Where are you going?"

"Come join me and walk."

Unsure of what to do I walked with him. We walked for what it seemed many hours until I burst the silence, "So what's going to happen now?"

My 'dad' smiled fondly at me, "You're next phase. I hoped you would stay with me for longer but alas we must move on."

"Move on where?"

"On," it replied simply.

"But..." It cut me off.

"My boy. Your life was filled with endless potential only to be wasted. It is pointless for you to go back to your own world. Life is an adventure that you create but why not make that real. I have observed your mind and boundless creativity. I must say bye as I fear I have said to much. But remember this world you see around is marvelous and important to you in the next life." It touched my head. "I want to say so much but I can't. I will say the world you are going to live in was very close to your old life."

It started to fade into the darkness. With the last vestiges of my energy I took a last look at my 'dad'. Life was going to be very different.

A/N: This is my first Fanfiction I have done in a long while. I did a bit when I was younger but that work was really bad so I wanted to start a new account. This story is focused around an OC in the MCU but I will be including every single person in the Marvel universe but the main plot line will follow the MCU story. This first chapter is quite short but I just wanted introduce a few things that will a play a major role later. I am currently still in school so updates will be sporadic but I my aim for each chapter to be around 5000 to 10000 words. I'm only writing because its fun and also cause I want to improve my writing skills so any constructive criticism is accepted.
