The truck strikes up again.
Never in my dreams did I think something like this would have happened to me.
I mean, I read too much novel or manga about this, but I never once thought that this would happen to me.
It… hurts. You know… don't ever think to try this.
"Ah…"
I can feel my consciousness, starting to fade away.
"Am I… dying?"
The last thing I remembered is me failing on my job hunting once again, and I noticed a child around 8 or 10 years old trying to cross the road. The light was green, but I saw another thing. It was a speeding truck. At that time, I didn't know what I was thinking. I mean, I am not that kind of person who is brave enough to give up my life for others. But, for some reason, my body just moved on its own, maybe it was the fastest thing I ever did.
I pushed the child aside but still couldn't save myself from colliding with the truck.
And so… I'm here.
In the place I have never been to before. A white room without anything also I can't feel if there is a floor below me or wall around me. I feel like I'm floating in the air.
"What… just happened…?"
[ This place is my realm.]
"What…?"
I can hear the sound in my mind.
[ Just like you suspected, you have died.]
"Is that so…?"
Well, after what happened there, there was no way I survived. I just feel a little regret, and I am a bit sad.
[ The child you pushed aside is fine.]
"Oh, that's good."
[ But, even if you didn't save him. He would have been alright.]
"What?!"
Are you kidding me!? There is no way something like that is happening, right? This person said that my death was pointless. What a bummer!
[ Well, that not true either.]
"Eh?"
[ At least you changed his destiny.]
"I did…?"
[ Yeah, his fate would have been miserable after that incident. His family was broken, he had a terrible body after that incident, but after your interference, His fate was changed. He felt grateful and became a person that changes the world to become better and better with his intellect and vision. Not only that, but his mother also made lots of donations in your name and saved countless poor children. Several children from his mother's donations also have made several good changes for the world.]
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
Well, that's very unexpected.
[ Because of this, it makes you very interesting. I mean, you saved a child and changed the world for the better. Even though you are not someone who would do something like that, did you? Do you know why???]
"What…"
I don't know what this person is thinking, but I can feel it, my body is shivering when I hear about the world that came from something that I can't even see.
[ Because somewhere in the world, at the same time in many… many alternative worlds. A Counterpart of yours chose to kill himself. That's why at that time, you didn't feel anything regarding your own life and did something that you never do. That is, to throw your life for other people.]
"What?!"
Isn't that awful.
[ Well, since you can change many other's fate. I thought it would be good to make a transition.]
"Transition? Not a reincarnation?"
I mean usually, it's all about reincarnation, right!?
[ Just like I said before, somewhere in another world, a counterpart of yours chose suicide. The soul refuses to come back alive again, Even though it isn't time to die. So to make this easy, I made you alive again with that body as thanks for making this world a better place.]
"Eh, is that true? It sounds like an awful place and the situation has to be bad since it made the other me suicide."
[It's a second chance to live again, not many people are given another chance. Also, the other world may appeal more to you than your world, because the other world is a fantasy world with magic.]
"Really? Do you think that is enough to make me want to live again?"
[I'm also giving you the skill to make your life in another world easier.]
"Oh! That's promising."
[ Good. There are many things you must learn, the culture and people in another world will be different after all, but you can do whatever do you want in that world.]
"Wow. I can do anything I want in that world?"
I hope I'm getting an overpowered skill.
[ Yes, but it's better if you could change other's fate in another world too.]
"Eh… doesn't that sound like a job?"
[ One of several reasons you were chosen over others was for that purpose. You don't want to do it?]
"Well, it's kinda annoying but I will try."
[ Good, if that world didn't change like your world, it will be a disaster for that world.]
"Eh…?"
[Oops.]
…..
…..
What is this thing saying….? It looks like the other world is on the brink of disaster.
[Oh, it looks like the soul transfer has started. Good luck.]
"Wait!!!"
[ Sorry, I can't stop this transfer.]
"What!! This is tyranny. I demand an explanation!"
[ Sorry, can't do that.]
"At least, I want to hear why the other me killed himself."
[ Oh, if it's something like that, I can explain it fast enough.]
"Oh, so what happened?"
[ Well… You just lost your parents after some incident, your girlfriend cheated on you with another guy at the party, after you spent big money on her and accumulated a big debt. So you confronted her, she dumped you and informed to the guild that you were stalking her and the guild banned you from entering labyrinth within your city.]
"What is that?!?! That sounds really awful!"
[ Have a nice second life]
"Wait!! This is fraud! Do you expect me to change body with someone who is in a big debt and has several issues?! No way!"
[ Oh, I nearly forgot. The skill you have is several gifts from us, not something easy to get. You need to be hardworking and have several things to do before that skill and gift can be activated. So please work hard.]
"Damn You!! This is really a fraud. I curse you!"
[ Stay Strong! And Save The World]
"Damn it!!!"
After that bickering, I could feel my consciousness starting to fade away once again.
….
….
When I woke up, I find myself in another white room. But it was different because I can see the wall and floor. Also, I'm in a comfortable bed. I could hear someone saying, "Doctor, the patient has woken up!"
Not long after, the doctor came to examine me. The doctor is a woman with a cute face and small stature, maybe around 140 centimeters, the nurse with her also had around the same height with a cute face. It makes me wonder a little.
But my daydream stopped when the doctor asked me a question.
"Do you remember your name?"
"Ah… I think… I know… My name is Diaz…"
So my new life in another world starts on a hospital bed.
