A young man in his mid twenties filled with guilt and grief.
When joy and warmth vanished from his life he had decided to finally end it all in the sweet embrace of death.
But just as when he had thought that he was finally free from the pain fate p...
A young man in his mid twenties sitting down beside an old man comfortably sleeping on a large white bed.
The young man spoke: "I can't take this anymore..... I can't ....continue like this."
The young man's name is Lantell Verdent a sickly young man who is currently recovering from a virus while at the same time going through depression.
Lantell's life had been very hard. First his mother died due to having problems with her internal organs then his father was diagnosed with Alzheimer. His father's condition had gotten so bad that he couldn't even recognize his own son. Due to all of this Lantell had no choice but to quit college and stay home to take care of his Dad. Eventually his girlfriend who had been together with him for ten years had also left him due to the lack of attention he could give her.
Everyday Lantell's father would give him problems such as breaking furniture or even hitting Lantell whenever he would try to give him a bath. Due to the stress of having to deal with his father everyday Lantell's body slowly grew weak until finally he had caught a virus.
In fact the virus was very curable it's just with his father always giving him problems Lantell had no time to rest at all. Eventually due to his illness and the fact that his father had hit him with with a detachable shower he couldn't take it anymore and ended up hitting his father in the face. Thankfully his father didn't seem injured.
With his heart full of guilt and pain Lantell turned his head to the travel bag by the side of the bed and picked it up.

He then turned his head to the old man lying on the bed with tears in his eyes and said: "Sorry Dad... and.... goodbye!"
After bidding farewell to his father Lantell stepped out of the front door of his house carrying with him a heart full of guilt.
It had been several hours since Lantell had left his house. Just before he left he made sure to contact some of his relatives and asked them to visit. That way his father would still be taken care off even when he was gone. In truth things could've been handled much more properly but the problem was that Lantell was currently in a state of depression and wasn't thinking properly. Lantell had absolutely no clue where to go and decided to just wander aimlessly.
It's been 3 days since Lantell had left his house he had no more money and no more food. His weak body was slowly getting weaker by the minute. With every step he took the guilt in his heart grew larger and more painful. Lantell turned his head and saw several buildings close to him.

Seeing these buildings Lantell knew what he had to do..... to end the pain. Lantell went inside one of the large buildings and sneakily rode the elevator all the way to the rooftop. When the elevator door opened and he saw the edge of the roof the strength in Lantell's body had mysteriously returned as he thought: "Freedom is..... Right there!"
On the roof there was a female security guard who had been silently enjoying the sights and taking in the fresh morning air when she suddenly noticed the elevator door open. She was about to greet the person who came up when she suddenly noticed a young man quickly rush out of the elevator. She was somewhat startled by this but then immediately realized what the young man was about to do. Her expression changed: "Wait! No! Stop!"
She desperately tried to chase after the young man but unfortunately she was too late. Without thinking twice or hesitation whatsoever Lantell jumped from the edge of the roof as he silently thought: "Finally..... Freedom!.... Mom.... Will I be able to see you now?..."
"Noooooo!" The female security guard screamed as she saw the young man jump.
The moment Lantell hit the ground everything for him just went black.... And that's when he knew that he was finally free...... From everything!
Outside an orphanage within Fresh Grass Village a several day old infant with blue hair slowly opened his eyes.
Lantell thought: "Where.... Am I?..... I'm.... ALIVE?! No! How can this be?! I thought I was finally free!"
"Uwaaaaa!"
Lantell thought: "Eh? Wait! Why is my voice like this?"
"Uwa?"
Lantell thought: "I.. I can't speak?... I didn't die and now I can't speak?! What kind of cruel joke is this!"
After a few seconds Lantell then suddenly realized something.
Lantell thought: "I can't get up! My body is.... Small! No I've become a baby! Was I reincarnated?!"
During his college years Lantell had developed an interest for fantasy novels so he was naturally familiar with death and reincarnation stories. And yet such a thing had actually occurred on him.
To finally experience the freedom of death then to be suddenly reincarnated just what kind of sick joke did fate play on him?!
