After I Died, I Became Green Lantern's Ghostly Companion

As you can see, I transmigrated.

Unfortunately, I had never watched or read anything about superheroes, and I didn't gain any superpowers after transmigrating.

I lived an ordinary life in Seaside City, California, on the west coast of the United States. It had a rich cultural atmosphere, warm weather year-round, and one of the busiest ports on the West Coast.

I loved her.

Following the rule of one superhero per city, Seaside City had its own superhero, too. His name was Green Lantern, and he was green from head to toe.

I'd never heard of him. Before I transmigrated, I only knew about Superman and Batman.

Unlike other superheroes such as Superman and Batman, who lived in their respective cities all the time, Green Lantern was a space cop who spent every day traveling through the universe.

But that was all right. Crime in Seaside City was low, and we could usually catch the bad guys ourselves. Every now and then, another green guy called Green Arrow would come and help out.

Everyone liked Green Lantern. He was funny, just like the people of Seaside City; he was carefree, just like the people of Seaside City; and he was a good guy, just like the people of Seaside City.

Then I died.

After Superman and Doomsday killed each other, a lot of Superman imitators appeared around the world. One of them was a cyborg Superman named Hank.

I never thought Superman would have anything to do with Seaside City. We were supposed to follow the rule of one superhero per city, after all.

But Cyborg Superman and the alien invader Mongul destroyed Seaside City, directly causing the deaths of nearly seven million people. Unfortunately, I was one of them.

I closed my eyes, opened them again, and found myself a ghost, forced to follow Green Lantern around.

I had no idea what was happening. No one could see me, so I watched our city's hero step by step down a path of no return.

Now I know Green Lantern's name. He's Hal, and he used to work at Seaside City's famous Ferris Aircraft.

He became the villain Parallax, and fought the whole world to bring the seven million people of Seaside City back to life.

...A lot happened in between. The Sun-Eater swallowed the sun, plunging Earth into eternal night. When everyone was helpless, Hal stepped forward and consumed the Sun-Eater, rekindling the sun with his life.

Seaside City's great hero sacrificed himself. Now we'd all be together again.

I didn't know if I would disappear now. After all, I was Green Lantern's ghost. If Green Lantern died, where would that leave me?

"Who are you? Where am I?" Green Lantern's voice suddenly came from behind me.

I blinked. Well, now the two of us were dead, and we could talk.
