Role_Travers

Nagi Travers, a 20-year-old shut-in and former gaming champion, lives a miserable and isolated existence after being tormented by bullies throughout his life. Fired from his last job and grieving the loss of his parents, Nagi now survives by playing video games and barely ventures outside. His world spirals further into despair when he encounters Jake and Mary, his former high school bullies, who humiliate him and steal his money.

Broken by the return of his tormentors and the weight of his past, Nagi contemplates suicide as his only escape. Just as he’s about to take his life, a small girl’s ball rolls into the street, with a speeding truck barreling towards her. In a moment of selflessness, Nagi rushes out and saves the girl, sacrificing himself in the process. Fatally injured, he reflects on the idea that it's better to die doing good than bad.

Nagi awakens in a surreal, white world, where he is greeted by an angelic figure who offers him two choices: remain in eternal peace, free from suffering, or be reborn in a different world where he could seek redemption and a second chance at life. Nagi faces a life-altering decision—rest forever or attempt to find meaning and fulfillment in another world.

My Second Chance in Life in Another World

One week had passed since we decided to journey to the capital. Today is the day we finally set out. The morning sun is just beginning to peek over the horizon, casting a golden glow through my bedroom window. I finished packing the essentials for the trip and made my way downstairs. The scent of breakfast still lingered in the air, a comforting mix of bread and warm soup, and the faint chatter of my family filled the house.

Downstairs, I found Father, Mother, Aunt Lyshia, and Chris busy with preparations. They were diligently organizing our supplies, their faces showing a mix of excitement and nervous energy. As they noticed me, they turned with smiles.

"Will, you're up early," Father remarked, a glint of amusement in his eyes. "Are you really that excited about heading to the capital?"

I couldn't help but chuckle. "Aren't I the one who should be saying that to all of you?"
