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

<p>"The sin of killing someone cannot be atoned for; all you can do is carry the burden until the end." This phrase echoed in my mind, resurfacing unbidden as I recalled what had happened in Craud City. The weight of it sat heavily on my shoulders, a reminder of the dark truths we'd faced and the choices Father had made. No matter how much time passed, the memories would always linger, as vivid as the day they happened.</p>

<p>I found myself sitting on the floor of the carriage, my back against the cool wooden wall, and Chris was beside me, her eyes half-closed as if lost in her own thoughts. The steady rhythm of the carriage wheels clattering against the road had become a familiar, almost comforting sound over the last few days. It was hard to believe that we had been traveling for three days straight, each hour pulling us closer to the capital. Father had mentioned earlier that we were only half a day away, and I was impatient to see the city with my own eyes. </p>
