DARKNESS

It was totally dark. I was unable to see anything. It is like I am in a black void. And what is that light pop-up? It is like a sphere in this void. Shit, am I dead? I remember I was stabbed by a sword from the back. Wait! Is that sword stabbed through my heart? That damn levin. Whatever it means, it is the afterlife, I think? .... . Now, what is this ceiling? Damn, am I reborn with my past memories?

Woman said, "It's a boy." The man replied to the woman, "Yeah," with a grin on his face. The woman had black hair. With black eyebrows and the amber-colored eyes. She is a beautiful woman. Another woman: "Sir, can I go now?". Man: "Yes, you can." That man, I suppose he is my father, whatever, but he has a well-developed body like a swordsman. I sincerely appreciate it. Let's see, he has blue eyes and auburn hair. No doubt why Mother married my father.

Huh? Now why am I closing my eyes? Shit, why am I feeling sleepy? It's becoming hard to open my eyes. Wait a minute. I think small children start crying when they are born. I forget to do that. They are going to think I am an abnormal child, da--.

Hm? They were watching me since I fell asleep. Mother wishes, "Good morning! my dear cape." I replied, "Bwaah." I know that I can't talk, but I can understand this world language easily. Mother said, "Dear! he spoke." She was surprised. Then I saw Father sitting beside me. Father said, "Say papa! Papa!." I thought, what the... . Mother replied, "He is just born, you know." Father laughed and said, "Yeah, I know it was just a joke, you know."

I think I was born as a commoner by looking at the room, but it is looking good despite being made of wood. Huh? Huh? What the—? It's embarrassing; I just did it. I think I should cry now, "Bwwaaa! Bwwaaa!.... ." Mother said, "Did he cry? I think it's time to change Calpe."

After changing, I again feel sleepy now.

Why am I again in this dark void room? What is with this light again? Shit, did I die again? But how? Whatever. Voice came; it was soft, like a woman was speaking. "So your name is Capell? Pretty name you got there, you know." I interrupted and shouted, "Who are you? Where am I? What is this place? Did I die again or what? Give me the answer." Again, a voice came, "Oh! That many questions. Okay, I will tell you all now. First, I am a god, deity, or whatever you say we are. I make you reborn in a new world, which is different from yours. It is a world where magic and aura exist, unlike your previous world, where there was a fighting spirit and ki for martial arts and to use a sword."

Suddenly, the dark void starts glowing with white light. "As for your next question, you are alive; you only died on your previous planet. So, don't be concerned about your body. It is your internal consciousness." I replied, "Why do you make me reborn? Is there anything you want from me?" Then a voice came, "Yes, child, in this realm some gods have been trying to control this world. Even they are already here on a faraway continent. I want your help."

I replied, "But how is a mere human able to fight gods?" Voice came, "About that, I and five other gods tried to stop them, but we lost, and only I barely survived, but it looks like I can't survive for long. So, listen, I am giving you my power now; you can't use it until you become worthy. When the time comes, you will know more. There is also something I left for you. Be patient and become more powerful than in the previous life, Nova."

I replied, "Thank you! For giving me new life, I will protect my loved ones this time. I won't make the same mistake to regret more. I can't promise, but I will try my best to protect this world from others. I can ensure this to you at least." 

Voice came "Thank you, child."

Then the void disappears.
