Capítulo 1: Transmigration
Ten-Year old Jackson Pryde, the son of Carmen and Theresa Pryde, resided in Deerfield Illinois. His parents were Orthodox Jewish, and he had an older sister named Katherine who was fourteen years old. Their family was rather well off, with Katherine being 'the good child', who lived in the 'real' world, admiring Captain America for all his contributions during World War 2, while Jackson himself loved anime, manga, and various stories of other worlds, and Video Games. Jackson admired Captain America as well, even if it wasn't as fanatical as his sisters hero worship any more.
Katherine liked video games as well, though in far more moderation then Jackson did, so she managed to be popular at school while Jackson was bullied constantly due to his small stature and his love of nerdy things. Today, however, was not an ordinary day, as all the students were gathered for an emergency assembly because New York had been invaded and the whole world seemingly collectively held their breaths.
Some brave field reporters were broadcasting the scenes live, and the students were watching with all the staff on a television that had been brought into the gym. Jackson heard his sister squeal with delight as Captain America and Iron Man appeared, soon joined by other people, who were saving people and fighting back against the aliens. Even if he respected Captain America and Iron Man, Jackson also felt extremely frustrated and he wasn't sure why.
Jackson sighed, thinking that the real world sucked, and that he would rather disappear into one of his fantasy worlds, and while thinking this he decided to sneak out of the gymnasium and found a quiet place to take out his smart phone, and went to Newtube. A channel called Rooster Teeth that he followed had uploaded a new video that he hadn't had time to watch this morning. "R. W. B. Y. Red Trailer." he read the title and then clicked on the video to start watching it excitedly.
His curiosity piqued when he saw the cute girl with the red cape and a nifty rose petal animation and her flowing cape. This video was very different to their usual Blue vs Red videos that he watched, but he found he loved this new style a lot. In fact, his heart fluttered, and he felt like he was experiencing his first crush.
At first he grew concerned when the girl came upon a lot of wolf monsters, but then she started fighting them, and looked like a total badass, his concern turned to excitement, and he wished that he could be there in that world. When her gun turned into a badass scythe, he mentally decided to play his new favorite game when he got home.
The video game in question, which came out a few weeks prior, was called Darksiders 2, and he played as Death in it, and he loved the game a lot. Death was strong like he wished he was, and he figured that if he was like Death then no one would bully him!
With a sigh, the Red Trailer ended and Jackson started it a second time to watch it again, no longer paying attention to his surroundings, assuming the halls would be empty.
Unfortunately, Jackson's departure from the assembly did not go unnoticed by everyone, and two older boys and an older girl came up behind him, and the leader of this trio, shoved Jackson with both his hands to the ground.
"Freak." Marcus, a fourteen year old boy who was on the Junior High Basketball team, said once Jackson had face-planted.
While Jackson was short for his age, in addition to being four years younger, Marcus was tall and strong, so Jackson never dared to fight back against this bully that had hounded him since Kindergarten. He had been looking forward to next year when Marcus, his buddy Billy, and Marcus's girlfriend Jenny, would finally be off to High School.
"Nicely done Marcus." Jenny cheered him on, grinning at her boyfriend.
Jenny was pretty and petite, with long red hair and green eyes, looking like she'd be a true beauty in the future. She was also a cheerleader in the junior high. Billy, meanwhile, was not on the basketball team, but rather he was on the wrestling team. Rather then being an abnormally muscular wrestler, he was dexterous and skilled at evasion. He also participated in archery competitions and had been in the local paper a few times when he'd won competitions.
Billy picked up Jackson's phone that had fallen from his hand "The loser's watching some kind of cartoon." he showed it to the others while laughing.
"Is she your girlfriend, since you're such a loser you can't get a real friend?" Jenny taunted.
"Why can't you all just leave me alone!?" Jackson asked with annoyance "I hate you. I hate this stupid world." he started to get back up "Give it back!"
Deep down he did not really hate his world, but as a frustrated ten year old boy who really hates his own weakness, it was easier to blame the world itself. Like his sister, Kitty, he worshipped heroes when he was younger, and he even wished that he could be one, but he was a runt and never stood a chance, leading to his miserable lifestyle.
The trio was laughing at him, and didn't immediately notice the light gathering beneath all of them.
"Huh?" Jackson was the first to notice the light, and seemed perplexed about what it meant. "Run!" he suddenly yelled out a warning, but it was too late, and the floor beneath their feet disappeared, and Jackson, Marcus, Billy, and Jenny fell into a black space, and they kept falling for a long time.
"What did you do to us, you freak?!" Billy yelled at Jackson, while Marcus and Jenny were freaking out and holding each other.
"I didn't do this!" Jackson insisted defensively.

"You liar!" Billy said accusingly, and moved to try to attack Jackson while they were falling, but suddenly a mist was released from Jackson, and the four of them all fell asleep, with Jackson remaining awake a couple seconds longer before succumbing to it as well.

When Jackson woke up, he was still falling, but the people falling with him were different. He saw another notification before his eyes as well.

Jackson was shocked, since Desolation Twin Scythes and Decimating Hammer were the names he gave to 'possessed weapons' that he had created in Darksiders 2. In fact, the stat page almost looked like if came from that game, with a few additions.
After willing the status page to close, he looked at the three strangers falling with him, and saw names over each of them. The broader, muscular three year old had 'War' written above his head while the red-haired girl's name said 'Fury' and the last said 'Strife'. Strife was a bit taller and lankier.
Realization dawned on Jackson that these should be the four horsemen from Darksiders! And he had become death? He couldn't help but be surprised. but he wondered where Marcus, Billy, and Jenny disappeared too.
As he was contemplating this, he saw that three-year old 'Strife' was still holding his smart phone! "Billy?" he said in realization, discovering that Billy had somehow become a three-year old little Nephilim named Strife.
He looked at the two with War and Fury written over their heads and realized that they must be Marcus and Jenny.
"They wont wake up until you all arrive at your destination." a gentle male voice was heard in Jackson's mind.
"Who....who said that?" Jackson looked around, concerned.
"I am the One-Above-All, you would comprehend better if I say that I am God, though." the voice told him "A hero came into your world, so in exchange our world is sending you out to another one. A pay it forward sort of thing. And I tried to look into your heart and choose the best world for you to save and form for you to take when you get there. These three were not supposed to follow you." the voice mentally sighed "I only prepared one system for you, so your mind has been protected during the form transformation process, while these three would have been completely erased if I did not act to give them power as well. Unlike you, though, who had the protection of my system, they found their souls were far weaker then the three Nephilim I tried to infuse them with the power of, and have had their consciousnesses suppressed and erased. These three will honestly believe that they are War, Strife, and Fury, likely for the rest of their lives."
"God huh?" Jackson sighed "So, can you tell me about the world I am going too, then?"
"That I can do. The world is called Remnant." 'God' answered simply, glad to not have to dwell upon these accidental transmigrators further "It is the world where the girl you saw in that video on Newtube resides. It is plagued by powerful monsters called the Creatures of Grimm. The sentient races there are humans and the faunus. Faunus mostly look human, but have animal features, typically only one. There is some hostility between the humans and the faunus, but the creatures of Grimm are a far bigger problem for both races."
Jackson suddenly saw his smart phone slip free from Billy's/Strife's little hand and appeared in his own hand, then God spoke again "I'll use your smart phone as the basis to add a new function to your system, which will keep you connected to your former world, though for now you can only view content related to the world of Remnant. More content will eventually be available to view in the future, but you wont be able to contact your former world. View and read, sure, but no commenting, emailing, etcetera."
"That is understandable. Thanks." Jackson said with sincere gratitude "Will I...need to know anything else about this world, and will I be similar in age to that girl?"
"When you arrive, you will be two years older then her, and the same age as her sister, Yang. Her name is Ruby, in answer to your next question." 'God explained to him "And you will meet them soon after your arrival. Even though I am trying to grant your wish, you are also repaying a debt on behalf of our universe." he chuckled as the phone in Jackson's hand disappeared "Now to access the internet of your world, think the word internet, and it will load, though remember you'll only be able to see things related to this world until certain conditions are met. Now, before we go, you need to select your semblance, and I will awaken your aura."
"Okay, but tell me about aura and semblances, if you don't mind." Jackson requested.
"Of course." God agreed, but rather then answering he inserted the knowledge directly into Jackson's memory.
Jackson hmmed a moment, then nodded "Infinite regeneration, both with my body and my aura, my wrath, and any other energy types I might gain in the future, so that I can recover from any damage and I can use it to heal others, and I can use my reaper form infinitely if I want too.."
God chuckled in amusement "It didn't take you long at all to think of that one, but it is a great choice which will nicely compliment your Nephilim abilities, and you are thinking ahead towards he future. That wish still has a week point that you missed, but you'll figure out when you get where you are going. This is your chance to be a hero, like you wished in your younger years, before you were beaten down by reality."
A warm power overtook Jackson and he felt his aura awaken, along with more knowledge entering his mind, teaching him to use his Nephilim/horseman powers. Since Jackson was physically Death but mentally himself, he did not have the instinctive grasp of how to wield these abilities, so he was gladdened when God engrained the knowledge in his subconscious.
"Lets make things a bit more interesting and have the other three descend in different areas of Remnant" God suggested with a chuckle "Our times up. I hope you can save that world."
"Wait a second. If Ruby is two years younger then the new me, then doesn't that mean she's one year old?" Jackson suddenly realized and then pouted, not quite as excited to meet her now. Surely a one-year old couldn't be the monster slaying badass that he'd seen before yet.
God didn't respond to his concerns, though, and one by one small breaches appeared under the other three and he no longer saw them, then one appeared beneath Jackson as well.
"From now on I am Death" he said before passing through the breach and into the open air above Remnant "Reaper!"
