My name is Andrew, and I've always been considered a prodigy, born to two accomplished doctors. Growing up, I was fascinated by the human body and was on track to follow in their footsteps, boasting a stellar 4.0 GPA. I had always envisioned a future filled with academic excellence, prestigious medical schools, and a thriving practice. My parents were my role models, and I aspired to make them proud.
However, my life took a devastating turn just before my finals when both my parents passed away. The loss sent me into a deep depression that lasted for weeks, making it impossible for me to focus on my exams. With no relatives to turn to, I had to plan their funerals with the help of a few family friends. It was a heavy burden to bear, but I pushed through, trying to keep my emotions in check.
Despite their professional success, their passing left me with a significant inheritance - over $1.2 million in combined assets, a house worth $800,000, and a car valued at $230,000. Yet, none of it brought me joy. As I was nearing 18, I avoided entering the foster care system. I was left to navigate the complexities of adulthood on my own, with no guidance or support.
When the exam results were released, I was crushed to learn that I had barely passed and wouldn't be able to retake the test. This limited my job prospects, and after multiple failed interviews, I was returning home on the local train when everything suddenly went black. The next thing I knew, I heard a mysterious voice saying, 'You have been selected.'
The voice was unfamiliar, and the words sent a shiver down my spine. I tried to respond, but my voice was barely a whisper. I felt disoriented and confused, unsure of what was happening or where I was. The voice seemed to be coming from all around me, echoing off the walls. I strained to see my surroundings, but everything was shrouded in darkness.
As I struggled to regain my bearings, the voice spoke again, 'You have been chosen for a purpose greater than yourself.' The words were cryptic, and I had no idea what they meant. But something about them resonated deep within me, sparking a sense of curiosity and trepidation. What did this voice
As I opened my eyes, I was greeted by an intense light that gradually faded, revealing my surroundings. I found myself standing on a desolate, broken road lined with ramshackle buildings made of weathered wood and crumbling clay bricks.
The people around me wore tattered clothing, and their worn faces seemed to tell stories of hardship and struggle. I approached several individuals, trying to make sense of my new surroundings. But the more I saw, the more confused I became.
It wasn't until I'd spoken to multiple people that I finally grasped the truth: I had been transported to the afterlife, but not the one I had expected. Instead, I found myself in the world of Bleach.
As a former anime enthusiast, I had watched the series in middle school due to a classmate's influence. I remembered the basics – Shinigamis, Hollows, and their unique abilities. But my knowledge was limited, and I couldn't even recall the names of all the captains.
I knew I was in trouble. Any Shinigami could obliterate me into oblivion without breaking a sweat. But before I could process my situation, a voice chimed in:
"Beep! Beep! Loading 100% complete."
A light blue screen appeared, showing my stats:
*My Stats:*

A sweet yet stern voice spoke, "Welcome, user, to the world of Bleach. This is the Heaven's Reject System."
*The System's Message:*
"Detecting a weak host, not compatible with the system... Giving out points."
I saw a gift icon and clicked on it, revealing:
*Gift:*
- 50 points
- 3 skill draws
I asked, "Umm, what is this?" The voice replied:
*My Purpose:*
"You've been brought to this world to help kill... Would you like to spend 80 points for the information?"
Instead, I asked about the basic classes. The voice replied:
*Classes and Points:*
