"It's cold"
The unknown man opens his glowing red eyes to a dark night sky, a large grass area and numerous buildings surrounding it.
"Am I in a park?"
He get's up only to notice he is covered in black armor with spiked shoulder pads, and a red orb glowing in his chest with a large-flat sided great sword laying on the ground with a black brace on the back of the blade.
"What happened to me, last thing I remember is driving my truck and then everything went black."
He picks up the sword noticing it feels light to him and feels stronger while holding it.
"This is so weird, but the sword definitely looks cool."
He walks over to a fountain to and gets a look of his reflection. He is wearing a plain black mask that surrounds his eyes, His hair is completely black, pale skin, and a slightly chiseled jawline.
"What happened to me? This isn't how I normally look."
He grabs at his mask trying to pull it off to no avail.
"Darn, yeah that isn't going to work."
He tries taking the armor off as well but it doesn't budge off him.
"Seriously is all of this glued to me or something why can't I take any of this off?"
He then touches the red orb for a black screen with white text to appear.

He stares at it for a moment before facepalming.
"What kind of mess am I in right now. It feels like one of those cheap transmigration stories I used to read for laughs during my free time."
He stares at the screen contemplating his next move.
"So looks like an average rpg type model, easy enough for me to understand, but how did I get here and why do I look like this, and I have a weird feeling that Lethal is not my original name, but I can't remember what it was."
A monstrous roar can be heard in the distance, before he can even think he charges towards it. Only to see a guy with spiky orange hair holding a little girl with orange hair behind another women in black robes against a giant hollow with a fish like appearance and a hole in its chest.
'Looks like I am in bleach and it's the very start of the series' He thinks to himself.
The hollow strikes Rukia away injuring her and Ichigo stands up trying to lure it away.
Right before it pounces Lethal screams, "Kid get out of there you are not its match."
With his eyes glowing crimson, he lunges at its right-side striking his sword down slicing its arm off but not stopping its bite towards the Ichigo only for Rukia to take the blow.
[hollow fish bone - hp 110/150]
Lethal looks frustrated as the hollow jumps back after the attack.
Placing himself between hollow, Ichigo and Rukia he keeps his blade up towards the creature.
The hollow looks at Lethal and lets out a howl as it charges towards him with surprising speed.
He attempts to block but some invisible force prevents him.
[Skill guard has not been unlocked cannot block attack]
Lethal looks at the prompt furiously, 'Are you freaken kidding me!'
The hollow lands a blow with its remaining arm landing straight on his chest sending him back a few feet and blood trickling from his mouth.
[host damaged – 14 hp]
[Health 86/100]
He manages to glance back, noticing Rukia pointing her sword at Ichigo and Ichigo holding the blade to himself.
The hollow charges again this time looking to bite him, however realizing this is a golden opportunity he slashes his blade down and strikes it straight in its mask causing numerous cracks.
[Hollow damaged 40hp * 1.5 crit damaged 60 hp]
[Hollow hp 70/150hp]
A large amount of energy appears behind him and Ichigo now wearing a Shinigami outfit slashes the hollow in front of him killing it instantly.

[host rewarded 50 exp, 6 ep and $20 for fighting hollow and dealing more than 50% of damage]
[corruption increases by +.001%]
Lethal and Ichigo both look at each other, before Ichigo speaks. "Hey, thanks for the help but who are you?"
Lethal aware this was going to happen plays just like in the original plot speaks, "No problem you can just call me Lethal. The heck man if you were this strong why were you struggling so much against that thing before?"
Ichigo places his sword on his shoulder, "Don't ask me, I just got this from her."
He points to Rukia now clad in white robes.
Lethal is finally able to take a good look at both noting that real life and anime looks different by a larger margin than expected.
Lethal thinks, 'I can't believe this is actually happening' before wiping the blood from his mouth and playing obliviously to what is going on.
Lethal then speaks to Rukia, "hey you alright I saw you got injured earlier taking a blow for this idiot."
A visible vein pop on Ichigo's head, "Who you are calling an idiot!"
Rukia speaks back looking at him warily, "I'm fine but why haven't I heard anything about you before."
Lethal speaks back calmly, "In all honesty I have no idea how I got here just woke up in the park nearby and then heard that yell from that monster earlier. Next thing I know is I am running to help find you two fighting for your lives."
Ichigo speaks still visibly annoyed but grateful, "Well whatever the case maybe thanks for the help."
Lethal's attention returns to Ichigo, "No problem though it seems like my help was unnecessary since you instantly killed it."
Ichigo shrugs, "Well I wasn't expecting that to happen either, didn't know I could do that."
Rukia still stays wary eyes on Lethal speaks, "Thank you for the help."
Lethal gives a slight wave. "Anyway, I should get going. I've got… things to figure out."
Rukia narrows her eyes. "We'll be keeping an eye on you."
Ichigo crosses his arms. "Yeah, something about you's off—but again, thanks."
Lethal turns his back to them, walking toward the shadows of the streetlight. "Fair enough. Just don't follow too close."
He disappears down the path without looking back, his red-glowing eyes briefly flickering in the dark.
'Too much talking… next time I'll just kill the damn thing and leave.'
As he walks away, he realizes that he has no idea where he is going to go, has no place to sleep, and he looks like some sort of demonic cosplayer with only $20 to his name.
