Time went by on Earth and a week passed. Finally, a gasp broke the silence of the dark space. Two glowing eyes slowly drifted away into the darkness as a light faded from Saito's vision. He felt his body and looked around, feeling like something was there. He soon relaxed when he felt no pressure surrounding him. He stood up slowly, this time, having trouble with it and looked at the notification window. It showed:

《CONGRATULATIONS!!!》
《You have regained your soul and evolved into a human!》
《You are Now an Arch Death Magus!》
《You will retain your previous abilities but they will be weaker than if you were an Undead. Instead, they will be fueled by your ability and skill to wield them. 》

《Curse of Undeath Removed. Replaced with Blessing of the Dead》
《You will soon regain your Life due to otherworldly forces》

<Would you like Another Chance?>

[In Layman's terms, would you like to reincarnate?]

《Yes / No》

Saito blinked and rubbed his eyes, making sure that he was seeing this correctly. More than anything, he felt relieved, thinking maybe he could start a new life somewhere else and try to live an easier life, but one thing stuck with him. "Another Chance? What does that mean?" He reached up to rub his chin and heard a voice come from behind him. "I believe that means you are able to try again, this time with your current abilities." Saito looked around, a cold sweat forming on his body. "What the fuck was that voice?" He scanned the surroundings and found nothing. "Who was that??!" He shouted. The voice wasn't heard again and hours passed before Saito finally thought about what the voice had said. He thought about it and looked at the darkness. "Then I guess I should press Yes..." The voice had terrified him to no end when he heard it, but he finally shrugged it off and thought deeply about it. "If I try again... does that mean... I get to start over..?" For the first time in 8 years, Saito began to feel a spark of hope that began to grow the more he thought about it. "Maybe... just maybe... even just for a little while...." he started reaching for the window and another notification sounded, blocking a portion of the menu.

《CONGRATULATIONS!!!》
《You have earned an achievement!》
《Light in the Darkness has been earned! Life Magic attribute unlocked! Sunlight no longer harms you!》
《You have been blessed by the Spirit of Death itself and been given another chance while also regaining hope! You have also recieved the Blessing of Life, meaning that you have no curses. You have now recieved the option to unlock your potential before being born again.》

<Would you like to proceed?>

《Yes / No》

Saito immediately pressed 《Yes》. As he did, the window closed, leaving the previous window open. He closed his eyes and felt his power and Ki increase. It reached higher and higher till a light began forming at the edge of the space he was in, burning the darkness away. He opened his eyes and squinted, looking at the window, which still had darkness behind it so he could read it.

《CONGRATULATIONS!!!》
《You have attained the ability to use Life Magic!》
《You have achieved the balance of the He°ve■ly D◇o! You will be unstoppable in the future!》

W0uld y○u like to Ac{ept?

《Y&S / N%》

Saito took a deep breath and decided to accept the odd notification and felt a warm energy fill his body. The final question remained. Did he want to be reborn? He took a deep breath and spoke aloud. "Yes!" He felt dizzy and felt pain like he was being crushed. When suddenly,  he heard that rattling voice again "Good Choice. Good luck kid. I will be watching." Saito turned back and saw a figure in a cloak with bluish flames where the eyes should be. He immediately started to scream, but it was drowned out by the noise he heard next, which frightened him even more.
