Dying buried wasn't the way Marcus thought he'd go to the afterlife. He thought he'd die of old age surrounded by his family and friends, or die fighting like a warrior.
But that didn't matter, as Marcus's consciousness was in space, contemplating the Earth in its full splendor.
When Marcus tried to speak, a gravitational force pulled him from behind. Trying to resist, Marcus tried to escape gravity, but it acted with greater power, making it impossible to move forward.
When gravity pulled Marcus from Earth, he traveled through multiple planets, asteroids, and galaxies until he reached the edge of the universe. Then he saw what could be described as the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.
What Marcus saw was all the galaxies and nebulas in their full splendor. It was so beautiful that if a painter saw this, they would claim it was the most beautiful work of art in the universe.
Before he could contemplate the wonderful sight any longer, a rhombus-shaped kaleidoscope appeared. Before Marcus could scream, he felt a tremendous drowsiness before falling asleep.

[ONE PUNCH MAN UNIVERSE]
[CITY-Z]
In an apartment in City-Z, there was a person exactly like our protagonist described before dying, but a little younger.
This person was sleeping, but something strange happened. Suddenly, Marcus's spiritual form appeared, entering the body with great gentleness, as if it were destined for him.
Marcus, in his new body, woke up startled by the immense headache he was having from the memories of the body's previous owner. Memories that were from his childhood, his time in school, and the death of his father at the hands of an ogre-level kaiju that attacked the city a week ago.
Memories of the hero who defeated the kaiju also entered his body. Memories that he was a hero wearing a yellow suit with red gloves and a white cape. The strangest thing was his simple face and the fact that he had no hair, but he was also very powerful.
When Marcus finished recording his memories, his eyes opened wide before he began to cry and tremble.
"W-What the hell just happened?! And why the hell am I here? This was supposed to be a damn virus, not a real damn survey?!"
Breathing heavily due to his fear and anxiety, Marcus stayed in bed for 10 minutes before calming down, thinking about his situation, and coming up with his next plan of action.
Okay, first of all, I need to control myself. Getting upset won't change anything. Second, I need to know what year I'm in to know if I'm before or after canon. And third, I need to know if the system I chose works.
"Status"
When Marcus said the word "Status," a screen floated in front of him with his data and power.

[SYSTEM NOTES]
[Hi Marcus, or should I say Ryūji, well, it doesn't matter. First of all, I was the one who sent you the survey because I was bored of my long and comfortable life.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your new life and don't die too soon, because otherwise, I'll condemn you to hell. And one more thing: the system doesn't have an AI, and the Chat, Gacha, and Shop functions are closed until you complete your first template.
And last but not least, you have a gift from me in your inventory. Good luck and don't die again, hehehe
With love: GOD
Ryūji stared at the message they sent him in disbelief. He read it over and over again until he couldn't take it anymore.
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!
