All right mom, I'll pick up the packages on the way back." I said closing the phone call as I waited for the pedestrian traffic light to turn white as I opened up the browser to read the next chapter of the The Gamer. I looked up and noticed that the light was now white and proceeded to cross the street while reading off my cellphone. It was a pretty slow day overall so there was not that much traffic so it was pretty safe to do this like I had many times before.
As I crossed the street I suddenly heard a loud honk from a big wheeler and immediately raised my head up and looked towards the source of the sound and froze like a idiot.
I stared as the giant red colored 18 wheeler smashed into me and everything went black.
As the blackness stretched on and on I had a thought that the moment was stretching forever until I realized, I could count past 3.
I was conscious.
Was I dead? Was I alive?
I wasn't in pain so there was that good news.
But I couldn't feel my body. I couldn't feel any physical sensations.
Moving my eyes I couldn't feel them and I could see no changes in the darkness and I couldn't see my body.
Just floating in this silent was both comfortable and terrifying.
Was I going to be stuck here? Or was this some kind of Isekai situation?
I mean I did get hit by a truck and ended up cognizant after death.
Cause I am pretty sure I couldn't have survived a head on crash with a 18 wheeler.
Soooo....what's going to happen to me?
With nothing else to do I just started going through the various chapters of The Gamer in my mind. Sigh.
By the time I finished going over all the chapters I could remember nothing had changed.
The Darkness was still Dark. The Silence was still Silent.
Dammit all what the hell was going on?
At this point I really started to freak out with the possibility of actually being trapped in this kind of existence being higher than I would like.
Suddenly a streak of light flash past my eyes like a shooting star. I quickly tried to track, follow it, but instantly lost it in less than a second.
'Dammit!' I thought to myself as I desperately tried to find that moving point of light.
Suddenly I see the pinprick of light in front of me rapidly filling my vision before turning my whole view white.
'Ahhhhh!' I said in both fear and as a reaction to the intensely bright light in my face.
The next thing I knew I had the wind knocked out of me as I landed back first on...a dumpster, causing me to spit out saliva as I rolled off from the impact and land on what I recognized to be concrete and gagging as I smelled the area I was in.
I gagged and coughed while also trying to get enough air into my lungs and blinking and rubbing my eyes to be able to see in the light after so long in the dark.
Where the hell was I? Was I alive again? On Earth? Another world? The same timeline?
After I was done coughing my lungs out and readjusted to the realm of the living. I looked around. I was in a normal alleyway as far as I could tell. A empty dirty alleyway like you would see in the back streets of New York.
However, something was off, the traffic noises around me were different, it didn't sound like normal cars. In fact I could swear that I could hear....hymns?
Getting to my feet, I decided to walk towards the noise as I doubt I wanted to see how the local alleyway dwellers are like in this still unknown city.
After walking for close to half an hour I was still in the alleyway. Why the hell was the alleyway so damn long?
Was this city enormous or something? Another hour passes and soon I noticed a end to the alleyway and the sounds being a lot clearer.
Right before I could start to rush over something attracts my attention and stops me in my tracks.
Ding!

"My death was a accident!? And it wasn't even Truck-Kun himself who did it, but his kid? He's married? How does a truck even have a kid? Is he a fuckin transformer now?" I ground out under my breath quietly anger in my voice even as I processed the full message. So I had The Gamer System now? Where is the notifications then?

Well looks like everything is there leaving my name aside, but a problem comes to mind, if this is the Harry Potter verse, why does this alleyway seem to go on forever? No city I know of in the world would have a alleyway this long with no side branches or exits besides these closed doors in the sides. Was I in some sort of magical alleyway or something?
Ding!
Ah there we go, probably going to tell me I gained a intelligence or wisdom point for figuring out my location correctly or something. That was how this goes right?
OH NO! I SENT YOU TO THE WRONG UNIVERSE AND I CAN'T GET YOU OUT!
"What?" I yelled before immediately sprinting towards the entrance of the alleyway only to skid to a stop as I tried to stop myself from tipping over a fucking ledge! After regaining my balance I take a good long look at the scenery in front of me with my mouth wide open in shock.
I was in some kind of future setting! Large skyscraper like buildings with vast extended walkways stretching between them with air cars flying in the sky above with spaceships even higher above them. Spaceships that seemed oddly familiar. I was actually a bit excited until my face paled and my gut dropped.
Passing by in front of me was a airship a large red zeppelin like airship.
The problem was the symbol on the side of the ship.
A double headed Aquila with one head blind.
There was only one setting I knew with that symbol and explained why Truck-Kun Jr couldn't get me out.
I was in Warhammer 40K.
Shit!
