Chapter 0: Last Steps and Born Anew

James Gray has been fighting cancer for over 4 months now. His suffering from his legs are only worsening, and he calls his doctor over to ask him of a favor.

Doctor Michael Michaels, a renowned surgeon and doctor, comes to him and then James asks his question.

"Hey Doctor, can you kill me?" James asked nonchalantly. He didn't have a family, or many friends at all anymore. His friends left him for the dust. He was a 30 year old man that has cancer. In his thoughts, he was young.

"I-I... Yes, I can. Let me finish the paperwork for it and then it will be done," the doctor said, hesitating in surprise.

James gave a sigh of relief. The pain was unbearable. This was the most painful experience for him he's ever known. He just wanted it to stop, and he just wanted it to end.

The doctor left the room as James went to sleep again, never to return to see the light of Earth again.

He was in a chair in front of an old man. The man had to be in his 60's at least, with his long beard and gray hair.

"Eh, where am I? This isn't the hospital." James asked while being very confused.

"I, uh, I accidentally killed you with a rock. The rock fell through the sky, into the roof and hit you in the head at the speed of sound. I'm very sorry, this hasn't happened in days. Oh, I'm God by the way. The God of the World you are going to now," the man said.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"I see. Well, can I make a request?"

"Certainly, what is it your seek?"

"I want to power up from every step I take, and that includes raising and dropping my feet to the floor."

"Ehh?! That's powerful! You'd be able to kill me after a few years! But, if it would make up with you about my failure, I will do it. Have a nice life, James, and I hope not to see you again in the next few years. I'll give you a boost to make sure you live longer as well."

I only saw a yellow glow, and then I only saw pure darkness.

I found myself on a comfortable bed looking up a wooden roof. The walls seemed to be white and the floors, ceiling and roof a dark wooden texture.

"He's waking up! You! Get the master! The young master is waking up!" A voice that sounded close to me said.

"Eh?" I looked to the sound of the voice and saw an older-looking maid. She seemed to be in her 40's and smiled as I looked at her. 

I remembered my past. Apparently the body I was in died and I took over the body. The maid next to me is Head Maid Charlotte. I saw Mother and Father walk into the room while smiling. 

"Hello, Mother. Hello, Father," I said, smiling.

We talked about what happened before I went into my coma. I've been in a coma for over 4 weeks. My heart stopped beating for a whole 5 minutes until I just now woke up. In between this time, it seems Mother has a child on the way. It's 5 months from being born, so I'll have a brother or sister soon. I swore to myself that I would protect that sibling, even if it cost me my life.

From my memories, I was always perfect at almost everything I did. I cast my first spell at 3 years old, a Light Magic spell called Illuminate. I was good at the sword, too. My status in the city was that of a "Genius Child," for years. As soon as I thought of "Status," something unusual happened.

In my center vision, I saw a window-pop up, saying:
