Reluctant Warrior

Hi I'm Jack. Jack Kane. I'm an ordinary, average, everyday kind of guy. I live in a tiny as hell mid-cost apartment where I'm forced to listen to everyone else in every other side room. I work a dead end job in a cafe where I earn barely enough to keep living where I do. I even look average, and above all else...Normal. Nothing special that sets me apart what so-ever... So why the hell was I the one that was chosen above all others...? Makes no sense to me. Not even slightly... But I should stop rambling and get right to the point. Although... that... Might take some time to explain... Uh I guess I should start from the beginning. Well it begins kinda like most cliché mystery novels do. On a dark, foggy, rainy late night...
