Opening my eyes, I find myself in a foreign land. Struggling to open my eyes from the bright light, two bewitching female entered my view, as I stood up abruptly. ‘The lord will see you now.’ They said. Surprised at their words I had no idea who I would be expecting me. With a huge headache, I thought of what had happened. Haven’t I died? Is this the fabled heaven? Lost in my thoughts I suddenly realise the two woman still looking at me as if looking at an exotic creature before I immediately apologised. ‘Shall we leave now?’ they asked. Not knowing what to expect, I could only follow the two woman.
Along the path, I saw flowers that looked as if it was dancing as I wondered what sort of magical place we were in. Stopping at the stairs that looked as if it reached the heavens, I could only imagine how long it would take to reach there. ‘Just walk all the way up and the lord will see you.’ Was what left me dumbfounded as I took a second glance at my destination. How was I supposed to reach there? Left with stares on me, I could only grit my teeth as I decided to climb the stairs.
A step at a time, I climbed and climbed as I became loss in my own thoughts. Suddenly I saw myself in different places and meeting different people. Images of myself in challenges or in bliss was all around, the difficulties I had to face and the choices I had to make. Time passed and passed as I felt myself awaken to abruptly. Feeling like more than a thousand years have passed, I realised that I had already reached the top step and was facing a gigantic palace. Who knew I had actually gained the fortune of a lifetime by being able to see the memories of my past reincarnations. I was a king, general, soldier, scholar, commoner, slave, and a martial master that was in the peak of my own world.
Plated in what looked like gold, my curiosity peaked as my legs started moving by itself. Walking in, all I could see was a lone figure sitting on a throne. Suddenly I felt an immense pressure pushing me down before realising it was that man. Not even noticing me, he was calmly looking through a scroll. ‘Oh,’ he suddenly said, before the pressure from before instantly disappeared. Beckoning me to move closer, he looked at me with an interested look before saying ‘A weak boy, but worthy of my respect.’ I was left surprised by his words before hearing him talk again. 'An orphan who was able to gain a small fortune through investments, just to donate it all to charity. Going through community service twice every week, do you know that many people’s life was saved by these actions of yours?’ I was once again shocked by how informed this man seemed to be. Indeed I had decided to give back to society when I was able to gain my own income, and doing community service was an activity that I enjoyed, but how did this man know?

‘Don’t be surprise, your whole life has been recorded in this scroll. The amount of karmic luck you have acquired through your ten reincarnations are enough to even compare to one who has gone through millions and this have indeed caught the attention of many immortals, thus we have decided to give you an award.’ Taking something out of mid-air, a scroll appeared in his hand which depicted a scene of twenty different immortals. ‘These immortals have decided to give you not only their blessing, but also a special item that they have created together and this is it.’ Receiving it, I took a look at the painting in my hands before a huge amount of knowledge surged into my mind and I lost consciousness.
A headache could be felt as I awoken, before I came face to face with the lord once again. Before leaving, we have decided to allow you to keep your memories to your next life since you have already encountered the reincarnation cycle of a thousand years. Such valuable experience can be used in your next journey. ‘Huh, what journey?’ ‘Obviously to be an immortal.’ Was the only thing I heard before I was instantly transported to another area. Facing another beauty, she greeted me before pointing to a strange hole. ‘Enjoy your journey.’ She said before leading me into the hole. Before I could say anything, I had already stepped into the hole. Losing consciousness again I could only laugh at how often this seemed to happen all of a sudden.
