  Summary

  The first story of the series. Follows our protagonist through his rebirth and until he (re)enters the Multiverse.
  In case you couldn't tell I suck at summaries, I'll get better eventually, probably.

  The Major Character Death Warning is temporary and happens multiple times btw, it is a little confusing at first but you will understand as the story continues.
