[Prologue]

It was a very hot day that gladly welcomed the gloomy clouds which would bring down the sprinkling cold rain.

It was past 3 pm when the first drop of rainfall landed on a slightly, worn down glass window on a apartment complex somewhere in New York city.

Inside the window was an almost empty room. Only a few furnitures and rubbish are present. On the middle of the room, a single figure can be seen. The figure is that of a man, he was slim and had a slightly long and messy blonde hair, his blue eyes did not reflect light and his lips were dark and cracked. He was wearing a dark blue shirt and brown jeans.

He was sitting on a chair, motionless with his arm rested on the table in front of him.

"What should i do?"

He asked to himself as the paper placed on the table kept him from looking away. The list of debts that totals up to more than $650, 000 is more than enough to leave him feeling depressed.

His name was Kayle Willsen, 23 year old and jobless. His parents died on a traffic accident 2 years ago leaving him under a huge dept. He had no friends, family or someone he can rely on, basically, he was a rock on the bottom of a ocean.

"Maybe I should end it all"

He rolled his eyes and the laptop on the table caught his attention.

"……"

He pressed the power button and opened the internet browser.

Not even once that he thought that the laptop that he always used to find job interviews would be used on searching 'how to commit suicide'.

After searching for a few minutes, it seems that 'hanging' was the best way he could find.

Fortunately for him, the general store near the complex has a rope strong enough to support his weight.

After coming back from the general store, he immediately tied the rope on the single metal bar on the ceiling and prepared the knot, on this point, backing up was already not an option.

He standed on to the top of the chair and was now ready.

As he look down on his feet, he saw the broken and dirty picture that was behind of the trash, it that was taken ages ago. It was the photo when he graduated from high school, his mother and father was there hugging him with bright faces.

A single tear came out from his eye and crawled down into his cheek before finally falling down from his chin and landed on the picture below him.

"Mother.. Father.. I'm sorry but i really can't take it anymore"

He put the knot on his neck and smiled bitterly

"..Don't worry, I'll be there with you soon"

Without a single thing on his mind he committed suicide.

[Chapter 1]

Like a ripple forming on the calm surface of the water, he regained conciousness and opened his eyes.

"Where am I..?"

Strangely, when he woke up, he was naked and was already standing, all he could see was white from all directions, there was also no sound.

'Is this heaven?'

Kayle was thinking when suddenly a distorted high pitch voice reverberated through the space.

"I welcome you, Kayle Willsten"

Kayle was shocked at first but he decided to calm down.

"Could I ask who might you be?," Kayle humbly asked.

"I'm the administrator of the game called 'Life' call me however you like, Kayle Willsen"

'Administrator? life? is this person implying that life is just a game?'

Many things are running on his mind.

"I'll call you 'Admin' so just call me Kayle, anyway it's a little confusing so could you help me by explaining what's going on?"

"Yes. absolutely, but first please put both of your hand on the crystal ball behind you"

Kayle turned around and saw a crystal ball, it looked like a normal crystal ball except it's bigger than normal. He felt a little weird because when he scanned the surroundings earlier, there was nothing, but because of everything that happend, nothing can surprise him anymore.

He walked two steps when he was finally close enough, he placed both of his hand on the crystal ball

"L-like this?

"Yes. Please wait a moment"

After a few seconds the center inside of the crystal became darker and darker untill it finally stopped. More than half of the crystal became pitch black and the remaining became grey.

Suddenly, a number popped out above the crystal.

"82? Admin, what does this number stand for?"

"Congratulations Kayle, you passed the test"

"Test of what?"

"The test of whether you get to live another life or not, the crystal looks on how much pain and suffering you've accumulated when you were alive, those who get above 70 will be given another life"

Silence filled the space again.

"Another life.."

"Yes, you will be reincarnated. Based on the test you took, it looks like the previous life you lived was not quite a good one"

"….Will it be the same world like before?"

"If it's what you desire then you would be reincarnated to earth, but please remember that you will be reincarnated as a another person. The time you died will also be the same time you will be born"

"So you're saying that even if I reincarnate to earth, I still can't change the fate of my parents?"

"Exactly"

"I see"

Kayle let out a reluctant expression. For a second he thought that he could change what happend, but it seems it wasn't the case.

"Wait, you're saying that many other worlds exist?"

"Yes, there was even one where everybody is a cat"

"Seriously..?," Kayle asked with slant eyebrows

"Yes, here is the list of the worlds you can choose from"

Suddenly, a book came into existance, it was so thick it had more than 5, 000 pages.

"Admin.. is there anything you recommend? I can't read all of this"

"Here is list of the most popular worlds of all time"

World of Swords and Magic: 59.3%

World of Martial Arts and Cultivation: 25.6%

World of Science-Fiction: 15.1%

"What do you say?"

"I'm not familiar with any of this, gave me an idea of what each one of them is like?," Kayle asked with a drop of sweat.

"Of course yes"

World of Swords and Magic

These world is every fantasy lover's dream. It's a world where "Mana" exists, as well as "Sword Techniques". Dragons, Elfs, Beastkin and countless other races could also be found there.

World of Martial Arts and Cultivation

In these world, every living thing has control of a energy called "Spiritual Essence". Every person's goal there is to cultivate and reach the peak of the continent.

World of Science-Fiction

In these world, humanity is almost extinct. The abormality of the sun caused the earth to be frozen in ice, humanity has no choice but to explore the universe and find a habitable planet like earth. Furthermore there are alien species called 'Atlas' that wants to exterminate the last of humanity.

"I see.."

"Did you decide where to go"

Kayle did not hesitate on his answer.

"Yeah. I think I'll go with the first one, a world where dragons exists seems fun," Kayle said with a smile

"Ok. It seems you have decided, now please choose a starting point"

'The first one and third one is certainly better, but the second one..'

Kayle was curious on the second option

"Admin, what is a 'Unique skill?"

"A "Unique skill" is a ability that only you could use, what you get will also be random"

"Then i would like to get the second option"

"Are you sure"

"Yes"

suddenly 20 small dice appeared from the endless ceiling fell and rolled to the ground

5+1+2+3+6+5+4+1+2+3+6+5+2+3+2+4+1+3+6+4

Not too long, another 5 dice fell to the ground

2+6+3+2+1

Kayle nodded and didn't ask anything.

"All preprarations are done, please enter the circle in front of you to proceed.

"Admin, I have one last question, after i reincarnated.. will my memories also dissappear?"

"No, it won't. It's not neccessary because every person who reincarnates will each be on a different dimension of the same world because meeting each other is forbidden, but if you want to delete you're memories it's also fine"

"I see. I would like to keep my memories"

Kayle said as he slowly walk towards the circle. A gentle yellow light covered his whole body before finally losing conciousness.

…..

For the second time he opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was a unfamiliar ceiling.

He tried to move and noticed his hand has shrunk

'So it's not a dream..'

He rolled his eyes and saw the wooden bars of a crib

"U-Uwa Uwaah!"

'I didn't knew speaking could be so hard, my tongue won't move as i wanted too'

Suddenly, the door opened. The person behind was of a beautiful young woman with flowing black hair and violet eyes, she was also wearing a white, one piece dress. She was wearing a glasses

Kayle was shocked, not because of her beauty but because her face is familiar.

'M-Mother!?, her hair color and eye color is different and she looks a lot younger but she's definitely my mother!'

She approached him with a tender smile on her face, and carried him into the height of her chest.

While Kayle was into deep confusion, another person entered through the door

The man had a bulky physique and had a scar on his forehead, he had brown hair and red eyes his hair was a little messy. He also had a smile on his face.

"Honey, how is our cute son?"

"Don't get too close, your face might scare him"

'Father.. Father!!!'

"UwaaaA!! UwaaaaHH!!!

"Ehhh? do i really look that scary?"

"Geez, look, you made him cry"

The man stepped closer and moved his face near Kayle.

"Lucca, papa is not scary right? right?"

'Papa.. it's me, Kayle!!, papa!!!

"Auwahhh!!! UwaaaaahhhHH!!!"

"See? you look scary"

"D-Dear.."
