The death wasn't what I had expected. There was no pain, no emotions. The only thing there was an endless void before me.
So I finally died, huh?
There wasn't anything that I can say was good when I look back at my life... in a way, this death was probably the good thing that happened to me.
Maybe in the next life I will be able to live normally, if I get a chance that is.
[Do you wish to live again?]
Suddenly, a voice asked me in that endless void, but for some reason I wasn't alarmed by it instead, it felt familiar.
'I do.'
I replied to the voice as if it was the natural course of thing to do.
[Evan Cross... a boy of 18 years... lived in a planet called Earth. A loner. No family. Nothing that can be called an achievement.]
[Looking back at your life, it is indeed pitiful.]
I think I gave out a dry smile to that. I do not feel it but I probably did, why would I not, it was that bad anyway.
'Well, I can't blame anyone for that. It was my life and I was the reason why it got so bad.'
[Hmm, I apologize, but not all of it was your fault. Your life would have been bad, but not this bad. A part of it is the fault of our system and probably the people working here.]
'Is that so?'
I gave out an emotionless reply. I wasn't angry about that at all, neither I have any complaints for this, nothing will change if I crash out before her now... by the way, is she 'her'? Her voice seems like that of a woman.
[Umm, so to fix that mistake of ours, as an apology, I would like to give you a second chance.]
'Is that why you asked me if I want to live again?'
[Correct. Though I expected you will reject that after the kind of life you lived.]
'I might have, but staying in this endless void is kind of... nothing. There is no emotion that I feel here. I know I am dead but this feels like I have lost every form of control. This is even worse than my life.'
[hmm... I cannot refute that.]
She left out a soft chuckle at my response. She was definitely a woman.
[Our time is about to run out now Evan. In a bit, you will be teleported inside a new world and you can start a new life there. That world is much different than the one you were in before. As an apology, you have been given a little gift that will be helping you in that world. As for how you wish to live there is up to you, but I am sure you will love your gift, it has been given based on your preference. Just live the kind of life you want this time and do not feel disappointed like before.]
As she finished saying that, I felt that my body was getting sucked by something. I was moving away from this void. But before I was sucked away, I forced myself to ask...
'Who are you?'
Then suddenly, it seemed as if I was seeing a woman who was looking at me with a smile, she the opened her mouth and a word escaped her mouth,
[Sophia...]
There were more things that she was about to say but before that happened I was moved out from there.

The next moment I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on a grass field near a small pond.
I raised my upper body and skimmed through my surrounding.
I really am in a different place now.
Even without checking if this was my old planet or not, I could tell it was not. Call it an intuition but that is what I feel.
But more importantly, why am I naked?
I looked down on my body only to find it was bare naked, not even a single piece of cloth on my body.
And damn its huge.
I couldn't help but be amazed by the size of my little brother down there, it was much bigger than before.
"I got a new body too?" I gleamed happily, and when I was about to get up, I heard a notification like thing inside my head.
