My body feels like floating into a void.
I felt so light yet I don't have any strength to move a muscle.
Every sense of feeling is confusing but fascinating.
Is this the world of afterlife awaiting for me?
I felt a hand, whether a cold or warm one...it's neither. It felt like air but I can sense it's a palm. It caress my cheeks as it spoke.
???
💬 Young one, open thine eyes.
I followed her instruction and miraculously, I could open my eyes and see everything around me. It's like...we are out on the space
My gaze landed upon a very beautiful girl. She looks just like a human, but not exactly. It's like, something's different with her. But I couldn't point it out.
Fuuki
🗨 Have we met before? Do I know you?
Goddess Hana
💬 I am Goddess Hana. The one who gives second chances to dead beings.
She stopped walking and did a waving gesture with her hand then suddenly screens started to appear everywhere.
The screens played different scenes. She pointed at one of them and it was me...slowly dying.
Goddess Hana
💬 That was how your Eighth life ended.
Fuuki
🗨 8th life? What does that mean?
Goddess Hana
💬 You were basically reincarnated many times already.
Fuuki
🗨 What!? 8 times already?
Goddess Hana
💬 Indeed, Fuuki.
《She motioned her hand and a screen appeared. It played a scene wherein a man from the early ages stab himself》
Goddess Hana
💬 On your first life, you were a samurai that commited seppuku. After a while, I tried giving justice to your life and gave you a second chance.
Fuuki
🗨 Huh!? That means, I'm originally a man!?
《My mind went blank but the Goddess continued her statement and another scenery played》
Goddess Hana
💬 For your second life, you also died because of a hereditary illness that runs in your past family's genes. Your body is frail and weak too so you often get sick.
《After the screen played a young adult girl who was coughing and is in her death bed condition, it changed into a scene that is in the water》
Goddess Hana
💬 Third life, you were born in a rich and noble family who loves you. But...
Fuuki
🗨 I was assasinated by bad guys?
Goddess Hana
💬 No. You drowned as a child.
《I sighed before I continued watching the scenes on the screen. This time, it was a teenage boy who was stab by a random man》
Goddess Hana
💬 Fourth life, I let you be born on a decent family upon your request but you were stabbed to death on your way home.
Fuuki
🗨 Well, just how unfortunate am I...even during a decent life, death still haunts me.
Goddess Hana
💬 Fifth life...after just an hour of being born, there were some complications on your new body and you gave up.
Fuuki
🗨 I...wonder how would my parents that time would feel that I died as a baby.
Goddess Hana
💬 Sixth life, you were a diabetic girl. Cardiac death.
Fuuki
💭 So I died as a man, as a woman, a boy, as a girl, as a kid and as a baby? Is there no time wherein I died because I was too old to live?
Goddess Hana
💬 Mhm...all of your lives are unfortunate...
《After the 6th scene played. The screen turned black》
Goddess Hana
💬 And then your Seventh life...*mumble* how can I even say this...
Fuuki
🗨 What happened to my 7th life...?
Goddess Hana
💬 You were uh...you were...
Goddess Hana
💬 You were reincarnated as a dog. And...got brutally killed for dog meat.
Goddess Hana
💬 Yeah...I...you know...it was fate so I...It's not my fault!
Fuuki
🗨 Even my life as a dog...I am still very unlucky!?
《The Goddess gave me a peace sign before her smile slowly faded and turned into a serious yet sorrowful look》
Goddess Hana
💬 And as for your 8th life...
《The screen then played another scene. A scene that I still clearly remember》
《It was me. And it was that night. The last day of my 8th life》
《It was a dark memory of mine if I were to survive》
《I hanged myself to death》
Ninth Chance
Right, I commited suicide
Goddess Hana
💬 It makes me feel like I'm such an evil Goddess to give you 8 terrible lives.
Fuuki
🗨 But even so...during my 8th life, I died on my own decision. You're not at fault here.
Goddess Hana
💬 Don't worry, as a Goddess, I will reincarnate you back to the human world!
Fuuki
🗨 Eh!? I-I told you...you really don't have to! I'm not blaming you for my past deaths anyways.
Fuuki
🗨 I just want to move on to the next stage of death.
Goddess Hana
💬 Eh? But the next stage of death waiting for you is reincarnation.
Fuuki
🗨 There's no...heaven nor...hell?
Goddess Hana
💬 OH!? So that's what you meant! Well, as per H&H Law Judgment, you are bound to be imprisoned in a special place in Hell.
Fuuki
🗨 H&H? Is that a brand name or something?
Goddess Hana
💬 Uh, well it stands for Heavenly and Hellish. But do you want that? Do you want to be bound in hell?
Fuuki
🗨 Well, it's fine for me. I'm already used to many things.
Goddess Hana
💬 But this Goddess right here understand your pain and troubles in your past life so I am giving you...another chance. A Ninth chance!
Fuuki
🗨 No thank you. Commiting suicide in my past life...must mean that I don't really want to live anymore. Probably because you reincarnated me too many times.
Fuuki
🗨 Just give that chance to another soul. I'm fine in hell. So, where's the way there?
Goddess Hana
💬 Eh!? But you can't refuse it...my decision is absolute!
Fuuki
🗨 But...I told you already. I don't want another life.
Goddess Hana
💬 I promise! This time would be ultimately different! Plus, you can't change my mind~
Fuuki
🗨 What do you mean? How is it any different from my previous life?
Goddess Hana
💬 You will not die.
Fuuki
🗨 *Blinks* What...? That's an even more reason why I wouldn't want to be reborn.
Goddess Hana
💬 But after this, humans can only have up to 9 reincarnations if I were to give them a chance then I can make your judgement and you can finally rest!
Fuuki
🗨 Are you sure about that? But if I don't die...then how can I die? Do I become immortal?
Goddess Hana
💬 Old Age! You would die of old age. When you turn exactly 100 years old, you finally die!
Fuuki
🗨 But I can't wait that long! And wouldn't people suspect that I won't die?
Goddess Hana
💬 Well example of it is if you try to hang yourself, the rope will always snap!
Fuuki
🗨 ...That's...are you making sure I wouldn't die commiting suicide so that I'd go to heaven?
Fuuki
🗨 Then how about I "accidentally" infect myself with a very deadly virus that is very lethal?
Goddess Hana
💬 Then...*Smirks* I didn't tell you you wouldn't suffer. So you would suffer with the virus in your system but still won't die.
Fuuki
🗨 *Gulps* I-Is there no turning back or some other way to die?
Goddess Hana
💬 I told you, my decision is absolute and still. It will not change but hmm, actually there is! The only way to end the journey of your life is when you already-
Fuuki
🗨 Don't tell me it'll be something dramatic like "Find the meaning of life?"
Goddess Hana
💬 Well, uh...exactly! What a smart kid.
Fuuki
🗨 *Sighs* Fine but how can I do that by myself? Is there any clue?
Goddess Hana
💬 Don't worry, I'm on your side! I wouldn't want you to wait a hundred years before you die. I will help you too! But for now, not yet. So are you ready?
Fuuki
🗨 Wait, not yet! What if someone shoots me right in the heart, yeah? Like, it's not in a form of suicide but it's a form of murder?
Goddess Hana
💬 The bullet will miraculously miss.
Fuuki
🗨 But...But what if it really shot my heart?
Goddess Hana
💬 That's impossible...but maybe then, you might die if that happens.
Goddess Hana
💬 Do you have any requests before being reincarnated?
Fuuki
🗨 Being poor, I might live a hard life and suffer more but won't die. But being rich, I can hire somebody to shoot me in the heart but that would make them a murderer...unless if I have enemies...they can kidnap me and I will request to shoot me in the heart! Yes, exactly!
Fuuki
🗨 I wanted to be born in a rich family!
Goddess Hana
💬 Hm, just like your third life?
Fuuki
💭 Oh, right. But I drowned back then.
Fuuki
🗨 And improve everything that I have, from Intellectual to Physical attributes.
Goddess Hana
💬 Hm, interesting. I also have a surprise for you but I won't reveal it yet until a certain time comes. Also, do you want to gain some magical powers too?
Goddess Hana
💬 Haha, just kidding. I can't.
Goddess Hana
💬 Now then, I'm going to reincarnate you and by the age of 12, you will remember our conversation but not your past live's memories. Live well while you're still free!
Goddess Hana
💬 You don't know how much sacrifice I did, Rei. Thank me later when your dead.
The beautiful Goddess patted my head and everything feels like I was falling into abyss.
A dimension of nothingness and darkness.
