Chapter 1 - New Beginnings

Everything was dark. Then I heard a voice. I thought it was God. It told me that it wasn't my time and that I would receive a blessing. It asked....." would you consider being born anew in the same world, as a different man in a different place. Or walk a path in a new world I created. "

I thought hard between the two choices. Honestly, this was kind of my dream. To be reincarnated in a new world. But my faith told me I'd rather just accept my death and stay in the heavens for eternity with God. But he did give me a choice. I'm never going to get this chance again. Obviously, I want to be reincarnated into a new world. But before I finally gave my answer, I had questions that needed to be answered. As in, what kind of world would I be born in? And what kind of person would I become? Is there magic? What time of era would I be placed in? What's life over there like? What kind of society is there on the other side? But what I was really thinking, was my brother. If anything, I would like to enjoy being reincarnated into another world with my brother. He would've enjoyed this opportunity more. I was always like this. I put others first instead of myself. In the end, that's what got my brother and I killed.

If only I wasn't an idiot and tried not to become a " hero ". We wouldn't have gotten ourselves in this mess. We wouldn't have died. But I brushed those negative thoughts aside and stood proudly in front of God. I asked him only one question.

" Can my brother join me on this opportunity, if anything, he deserves this more than I do. "

Yeah. That's the least I can do or ask. I've done enough already. I should just enjoy what I have and sleep for eternity in the heavens. Yeah. That's what I should do. I'm so tired. Then...a bright light blinded me as I woke up abruptly covering my face to block the light.

I wake to a young woman crying in the background. I can hear multiple voices coming in all at once. I finally open my eyes and see my surroundings. I'm in a different place. I look at my hands and then my body. Who....am....I? Was that all a bad dream? No.....I still have my old memories. I still remember what happened to me. I died and reincarnated. I take another look around and see people weeping over me as they ask me if I'm okay. I'm confused as ever so I try to get a full understanding of where I'm at. I'm on the ground outside. It's bright out with a little breeze. The air smells.....somewhat cleaner. I feel lighter as well. I turn to my right and see a kid around my brother's age sitting beside me. He too looks confused.

I take a double look at his face again and lean in closer. For some reason I can tell who this person is. I know this sounds stupid but my brother and I came up with a little phrase if we ever got into a situation like this. It sounds really stupid. But I wanted to try it out anyway.

" Yurrrh "

It took a second for him to realize what it was. His eyes widened as he gave the same response back in the same tone without being confused. I knew it was him. My brother.

" Jacob " ?

" Nathan " ?

We both raised our hands and shouted " let's goooooo" in the happiest tone ". We then got slapped behind the head and got yelled at.

You two need to be more careful! We told you multiple times not to go into the Vinal forest. It's dangerous for children to enter the area. - Miera

I turned around to speak to the woman yelling at us.

" I am not a child. Excuse you "

I then noticed my voice was different and sounded younger.

You are something else you know. Apologize to Cyprian and his mother so we can both go home. - Miera

" Cyprian " ?

She gave a heavy sigh and nudged my head. Kain Biulamel...I'm not asking you again. Apologize to Cyprian and his mother this instant. - Miera
