Death sure is scary I will have to admit that.

Hearing the loud beating of your heart and the mad rush of your blood in you ears.

Right now I'm floating in this dark void which seems to to absorb all forms of light. I've tried turning on my flashlight that I always bring along with me but all it managed to do was shine a few centimeters ahead before flickering and then dying.

As I'm floating lazily in this lightless void I heard a voice that sounded as if it were right beside me.

"Looks like I'm starting to imagine voices are here."

I've read about how people who went into the world's quietest room and would start hearing auditory hallucinations within ten minutes.

"Ryan, I'm real and not a figment of your imagination."

Once the voice said that a bright flash blinded my eyes.

After a while the bright flash started to dim and I could finally open my eyes.

In front of me stood a beautiful lady dressed in a light green toga.

The lady had beautiful green eyes and blonde hair, her body proportions are just right. Her chest and bosom were just right, not too small not too big.

While I was getting mesmerised by her beauty the lady spoke in a voice so sweet that I swore I would kill for it.

"Hello Ryan."

"Erm... Hello and how'd you know my name miss...?"

Hey, even if I'm an orphan it doesn't mean that I don't have any manners. All courtesy of the organisation for teaching me etiquette.

"You can call me Lady Varia and how do I know your name you ask. I'm what you would call a goddess."

I scrunched my eyebrows. I don't remember hearing of any goddess called Varia.

Seeing my reaction Varia chuckled softly.

"Ah, I forgot to mention that I'm actually a goddess in another world."

"... What?"

"As I said there are multiple worlds that exists parallel to each other I'm a goddess in this particular world."

"Uh huh."

Seeing my still confused reaction Varia explained what this another world business is all about.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

After a few minutes of explanation I finally got what she said.

The gist of it is basically this. There exists seven other worlds other than mine and Varia is a prominent goddess in a particular world.

The void which I was in earlier was the space located in between the two worlds.

"With the explanation now out of the way. I ,Varia, would like to offer you a second chance in my world. Of course, I will let you keep your memories of you previous world. What do you think of my offer Ryan?"

The offer is enticing I must admit but having lived in the tough part of the world for some time I know that something like this doesn't come for free.

"I think it's interesting but what's the catch?"

Varia showed a sad smile at my answer.

"It's because I pity you and your circumstances."

"There are people who deserves this much more than me."

I could feel anger at myself for being chosen to get a second chance in life but not my other friends.

"you are going to change the history of my world in a very significant way. That's why I chose you. And you're going to see your friends as well. I made the same deal with them that I'm giving to you now. So, do you accept it or decline?"

The thought of seeing my friends again pretty much is the deciding factor.

"I shall accept the deal then Lady Varaia."

"Very well, I shall not explain to you the common sense of the world since I rather have you learn it by yourself slowly."

I agreed with Varia's reasoning. I'd rather much spend my time slowly learning the common sense of this new world that I'm going to.

"Oh, and by the way you shall be reborned as a child."

"Wait... what?!?!"

However before I could finish my sentence a bright flash blinded me again and thus beings my new life in this world.
