The Legend of the 9 Lives

Introduction (kenny)

"Your time is almost up you know."
I was currently in an uncontrollable dream that had been repeating every night since the incident.
However, this so called dream wasn't like every normal dream people just have, it was an actual confrontation with my inner consciousness.
I looked up at the second version of myself that appeared to be sitting on a somewhat tall cliff.
"We both know that isn't true" I replied.
He gave me a slight grin.
"I'm above you, even when you're out there."
I was annoyed at this point.
"How long do you plan on doing this to me? I'm unable to go anywhere or do anything without the pieces and a plan!" I shouted.
"Kenny. You have all of the pieces. Now it's just about how you put them together to save this world." He disappeared.

Even though this figure in my dream was supposed to be another version of myself, he always sounded like my father.
I was awake.
"gosh. Another one." I sighed.
"All of the pieces?" I thought to myself. As far as I know I haven't even begun my job as the immortal of this world. It's not like I don't want to, it's just something I am afraid to do. "No. I can't think that way."
This constant battle with myself is driving me into a corner.

About the incident. Wait no, first let me introduce myself.
My name is Kenny. I just turned twenty-two years old. I currently live in the world we know as 'Astria'
Due to a continental drift that happened many years ago, lands collided and they all became one. The world leaders didn't know how to deal with this situation so they decided then that there would be no world leaders. That included presidents, dictators, any form of reform or leadership that the world needed was abolished. It was decided that people could live how they wanted. Surprisingly people got along well. Which sounds unreal right? Because it is, unless there was a factor that actually left people with no choice but to be nice to everyone, in this case there was. That was the nine lives rule that randomly appeared one day when someone broadcasted themselves jumping from a twenty story building. This guy did in fact die, but an hour later his lifeless body stood up again.
This began before I was born. It turned out that the guy was out with his friends one night, all of them drunk and they decided to kill a black cat that had been sleeping peacefully under a tree. As people say, cats have nine lives. I personally don't believe that, because if I were to kill a cat in present day, they would die and never come back. I'd never do that though. It's different with people.
They die, the come back an hour later. They die again, they come back an hour later again. This goes on until all nine lives are finished. However, you can actually receive more lives by taking the life of another person. The only exception is that the person you kill has to be on their last life. This makes it even harder for people, because there is no way of telling who is on their last life or not. Crime went up but because people fear for their lives they try to be nice to everyone they encounter. I'm sure you're thinking of ways to contradict this way of life but it all works out because not everyone was raised with the same mindset. There are two paths to take, to become evil and to be good. No one is born evil. So life right now seems to be going smoothly.

Why does it have to be me? You might be wondering.
I don't know. I personally wish it was someone else. Someone capable. I'm the only known person in this world with infinite lives and that is without killing others.
I'm known to myself but no one else out there knows this.

I live a rural region. My house is close to the beach so I mostly spend my days inside watching the waves. I do a lot of research in relation to the mortality of humanity. Because my hope is that I'd find something useful that can contribute to the escalation of my so called progress. So far I've found nothing.
I live with my two best friends. We've been friends since high school. They are always out so it gives me time to think. They are completely unaware of the power I hold. It's easy to hide it though because unlike them I actually want to live.
