Reincarnated Corpse

Cale Hamilton was a simple 25 year old man who enjoyed reading novels and fantasizing about things which would never come to pass. He had a normal job, with a small apartment, and was content. Among the stories he read, many tales of reincarnation were told. Stories of characters who escaped their mundane life and through death, found themselves in bright and fantastical worlds. One day while commuting home from work, he stumbled across a mugging taking place in a dark ally. Upon foolishly intervening in an attempt to help the victim, he was stabbed. Laying on the cold stone of the back alley, he unfortunately bled out before help arrived. But he is not completely without luck, for after he died, Cale Hamilton was reincarnated. ....however, unlike in his stories, Cale Hamilton finds himself reborn in the body of a skeleton.
