章節 1: Another one

"Bright." I muttered as I brought my arm to my eyes.

"Oh a thousand apologies we forgot to turn the supernova background off." A calm, powerful voice stated "There is that better." Suddenly the light which was burning my retinas vanished and what remained was an office? Grey walls, A small desk with a door behind on the other side of it and oh some sort of creature made or pure blue light?

"Where? Where am I? How did I get here?" I asked, not understanding what I'm looking at. "Who are you, what are you"

*Haah* The being sighed "Great another talker" They muttered "Where's the stunned silent types I've been hearing so much about" *ahem* clearing their non-existent throat it continued. "What we are is not important now, welcome to your life evaluation your physical body has come to its inevitable end and your mind was able to enter a higher consciousness due to your open view on 'Afterlife' you've been approved for reincarnation congratulations!"

"Come to its end you mean.. I'm dead? How, when? I don't remember" I asked in mild panic I tried recalling something anything out of the ordinary from today but blank everything seemed normal

"Well" the blue being interrupted" It doesn't matter now does it? Your flesh sack is already decomposing and a new one is waiting for you somewhere in the infinite, how exciting right?"

Before I got a chance to interject the being continued "Now lets see." It looked at some forms on its desk. "karma, karma, karma let's seee... Ah here ""Some good yeah to be expected. Some bad mmhhhm mhhhm nothing out of the ordinary. Congratulations your karma in your last life turned out just slightly positive from neutral a good balance"

"So does all this mean anything or are you just telling me this for nothing" I said curiously

"Of course, of course. You get a small boon in your next life. Nothing super powerful and no great curse as I said balanced karma you don't deserve that. However, the one you do get is a roll of the dice. You will receive it the instant you are born it could be absolutely anything." "Of course you can decline this offer and return to the infinite as energy what say you?"

I pondered for a moment becoming one with the infinite does sound rather pleasant in a way but so would a chance to start a fresh. My past life wasn't anything to write home about, evidence of that was my balanced karma. 22 years and nothing to show for it may as well hit the reset.

"Will I get to choose my new world?" I inquired

"No"

"Race?" "No" "Gender?" "No" "Anything" "Yes" "Really?" "No"

...

"Fine, I'll still take your offer and boon. Thank you"

"Wonderful wonderful now let's get the process over quick we have another appointment after yours in two of your 'linear' decades and we really want to get some rest before that, soo please this way" he gestured to the door behind his desk and stated " Walk through and your existence will be remoulded into its new form and what should feel like a short time your new life awaits"

Standing from the chair I walked to the door and took a deep breath. As the door was opened there was what I assume to be a sort of portal a black centre surrounded in rainbow accents. I could feel myself pulling towards it but I stopped myself ,probably self preservation kicking in, and asked. "Does it hurt?"

"Does what hurt?"

"Remoulding my existence. It does not sound like a pleasant experience."

The being paused, surprise would be showing on its face if it had any distinguishing details "We are not sure, we've never considered that hmmmm." It rubbed its chin 'we should follow up with the boss' after this.' it looked back to me regaining themselves "But it shouldn't. We've never heard screams."

Great...

"Very reassuring" I whispered "Ok. Ok. Ok. Let's do this. Wish me luck" As I said that I jumped through the portal into whatever fate awaited me.
