Reincarnated, Oh It Looks Like I Died Again.

I Died

Ria's POV

"Huff...huff... almost there!" I keep running frantically, my shoulder feels like its on fire. The alley opens up into a large street. I don't stop, the blood pouring from my shoulder stains my clothes in a vibrant scarlet. 

"I can't look back!" I yelled to myself. Traffic is heavy as it usually is in the city, but I don't stop. I run out into open traffic. The last thing I saw were bright headlights coupled with a blaring sound.

...

I opened my eyes in shock. "Where am I?" I asked myself as I inspected the space around me. There is nothing there, no sound, no tree, not even an end to the bright void around me. Then the memories all came back to me. The events washed over me as if someone had turned on a faucet. 

That's right, I was a retired detective. And ... I was shot. After retiring I spent my days leisurely reading manga and watching anime. I had no family. I was orphaned before I could even walk. I wasn't lonely though, I had a bright and encouraging colleague who always looked out for me. Somehow, that same colleague was the one who shot me. She was like a little sister to me, always there when cases got unbearable or visiting me in my retirement, always there. 

If I remember correctly, when she shot me she said something. Oh right! She said, "Why did you LEAVE ME?! I-I thought you said that we would be together.." Her eyes were brimming with tears tears. I wanted to apologize but I didn't know why.

Hmmm... now that I think about it wasn't there a term for this... Oh I got it! She was a yandere!

Huuuu... I don't know what to think. I am most likely dead. No one can survive heavy blood loss and getting hit by truck-sama. Truck-sama has a 100% kill rate. Just as I thought this a sign popped up. 

"Welcome to the Afterlife! It seems you died before living your full lifespan. As an apology we would like to offer you two options. 

1. Continue your life on Earth as a ghost.

2. Reincarnate into a new life (Bonus: 2% chance of a special skill!)"

This... proves... it. Ha... so I really died. I didn't even get to live my entire lifespan or finish the manga series I was on. The choice seems obvious. I just hope that my kouhai (Colleague who shot me) lives on. With that in mind I set my fate.
