Synopsis
Chapter every week. Gotta thank @Gothur for the idea Rio was just a normal guy with his whole life ahead of him. Then a truck erased it. Before death could finish the job, something else intervened. The Agency saw potential where his world saw a corpse and plucked him out of his reality, dropping him into a foreign world that runs on gods, bloodlines, and cannibalism. They call it a second chance. Rio doesn’t see it that way. Now trapped in a medieval world ruled by Celestials who swear they are righteous and padres who believe cruelty is duty, Rio fights to survive, to claw his way back to the life that was stolen from him. All while being recorded live for the entertainment of others. His only allies are an ancient, infuriating old man and his prim perfect butler. God help him.

Chapter 1 - The View from Halfway Down

The View from Halfway Down

The weak breeze whispers nothing

The water screams sublime

His feet shift, teeter-totter

Deep breath, stand back, it's time

Toes untouch the overpass

Soon he's water bound

Eyes locked shut but peek to see

The view from halfway down

A little wind, a summer sun

A river rich and regal

A flood of fond endorphins

Brings a calm that knows no equal

You're flying now

You see things much more clear than from the ground

It's all okay, it would be

Were you not now halfway down

Thrash to break from gravity

What now could slow the drop

All I'd give for toes to touch

The safety back at top

But this is it, the deed is done

Silence drowns the sound

Before I leaped I should've seen

The view from halfway down

I really should've thought about

The view from halfway down

I wish I could've known about

The view from halfway down
