"Don't know why this is happening to me. I don't even want to die! Please help me! Does anyone help me?
Just die.
I don't wanna die.
Just die peacefully.
No, I don't wanna die. Please help me.
Pathetic! Just die quickly!
WHY? What did I do for this to happen to me? I regret every decision I made in my life. FUCK! I had a good lover, but I let him go for some fucking reason. I had everything I wanted in my life, but I let go of them. FUCK, FUCKKKK!!!!!! Just why? Answer me, WHY?
If I only have one more chance, I'm gonna take advantage of everything around me! I don't care who it is, but one thing is for sure! I'm gonna use them!
We crave good things in life, but when that fucking 'good thing' is already happening, only a few are lucky enough to notice. Such life, is it? Pretty ironic, isn't it? When granted everything, you can't do anything.
Well, this is life! Wait a moment—THIS IS DEATHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

"Where am I? Why can't I feel anything?"
"It feels like I'm just high… but why can't I see anything either?"
"This is weird but also nice. It's nice that I'm freed from suffering."
"But why? Even though I don't feel anything right now, something aches, like I'm regretting the way I lived my life."
"Didn't I tell myself before that I would live my life to the fullest, without regrets? But why? Right now, I'm regretting most of my life choices."
"Maybe it's just pretty lonely here. That's why I begin to reminisce about those moments that I thought I wouldn't regret."
"If only I had another chance… I would definitely live my life to the fullest. If only there was a way to turn back time, I would definitely take the chance to live without regrets."
"I wish I could meet them again…"

Somewhere in the realm of the Supreme, the absolute ruler.
"Huh? Why is that soul still there? I thought I sent him to his second chance a century ago?" An unknown entity murmured as he looked at the poor soul they once used to exchange for the peace of the world.
Knock Knock
"Come in, Gabriel," the absolute ruler said.
"Uhm, Master, do you still remember that one soul who kept praying every night for a decade straight that he would gladly exchange his life for world peace?" Gabriel said to his master.
"Oh yeah, that amazing guy. We sent him into a parallel Earth to live his life to the fullest, right?" the absolute ruler said happily.
"Uhm… the thing is, he… uhm… we didn't send him to his dream. We forgot him in limbo, and he was stuck there for more than a century," Gabriel said. As soon as the absolute ruler heard this, he suddenly stood up in shock.
"What the hell? We need to rescue him," the absolute ruler said.
"I will do it," Gabriel replied.

(At our MC)
"Man, I don't know why…"
"Hello there, young soul."
Our MC heard a voice, and suddenly his five senses returned to him.
"Ah…" The MC tried to greet the voice he heard, but he was struggling to speak.
"Wait, let me help you," Gabriel said. As he snapped his fingers, he and our MC suddenly appeared in the domain of the absolute ruler.
"We are here, Master."
"Finally. Young soul, how are you?" the absolute ruler said as he looked at our MC.
"Uhm… I feel…" Our MC paused for a moment before continuing. "I don't know. But who are you guys?"
"I am what you call back on Earth—God," the absolute ruler said with a smile.
"Eh? God? For real? But why did I meet you here? I didn't even do well when I was alive. The kindness I showed before was because I wanted them to repay me more than I helped them."
"How should I put it? There is no heaven or hell. There is only the cycle of reincarnation that is connected to the whole universe."
"Uhm… cool?" the MC said, clearly confused about what the hell was happening after feeling nothing for so long while recalling how he lived his life full of regret.
"Ah yes, do you remember the prayer you always said for a decade—that you would gladly exchange your life for world peace?" the absolute ruler said. Our MC nodded.
"Well, we used you as a sacrifice for karma so that there would be world peace on your Earth for a long time. But of course, we did not do it for free," the absolute ruler continued. "We originally planned to reincarnate you into a parallel Earth with your memories on, but we ran into a problem and… uhm… we left you in limbo for more than a century alone with your thoughts intact."
"WHAT THE FUCK?" Our MC unknowingly screamed in shock when he heard the so-called God.
"Ah, sorry about that. I didn't mean to curse. I'm just shocked," our MC said as he looked at the entity in front of him.
"No worries. We made a mistake here."
"Uhm… you know that prayer was kind of a joke, right? I just wanted to feel good talking to you, God. I didn't expect that you literally heard my prayers," our MC said as he laughed awkwardly.
"Yes, but here's what we are going to do, if it's okay with you. We will follow the original plan, but I will also let your wishes come true," the absolute ruler said. When our MC heard this, he almost jumped from excitement.
"We will do this to atone for the burden we gave you. I also feel that you have strong regret about how you lived your life before."
"Thank you very much… I don't know how I can thank you for this opportunity you're giving me," our MC said.
"No need. Young soul, you truly deserve this opportunity. So what are your wishes? Anything within my power, I will do for you."
"Uhm… there is no limit?" our MC asked.
"Yes. So take your time thinking about what you want in your second life. But I will give you bad news first—your past family will not exist in your second life."
"What? Then I will use all of my wishes to have them by my side in my second life!" our MC said immediately.
"Sorry, but I cannot do that. The Earth you will go to is exactly the same as your previous world, but since I will send you there, the rule is… your family will not exist there."
"But…" Our MC stopped and looked at the two entities in front of him.
"Well, even though it hurts to hear that, I cannot blame you since you are giving me a second life," our MC said.
"Thank you for your understanding, young soul."
"Then my first wish is that I will have a perfect body. I will not get sick or anything. Even if I fool around, I will not get HIV or anything deadly."
"Alright, we can do that. A perfectly healthy body."
"Second, I want to be able to do anything. I know every language on Earth. I'm very smart, also athletic, and talented."
"Third is that…" Our MC hesitated. "Can I wish to be able to summon some characters from my previous life, like from anime?"
"Yes, I can do that. That's not a problem for me. Since you will not have a family in your second life, you can build your own," the absolute being said with a warm smile.
"Then that's my third wish."
"That's it?" the absolute being said, thinking our MC would request something unbelievable.
"Uhm, let me think more… Ah yeah, I want to customize my appearance, and also no one will get suspicious of me in my second life."
"Alright, but if you hypothetically cause genocide, the 'no suspicion' rule will not work."
"Fine by me. I will not do that, haha. I just want a simple, comfortable second life without regrets."
"That's it?"
"Yeah. But before that, can I choose when and where I will be reborn? Also, can I make a summon now?"
"Yes, of course."
"Then, Sebas Tian from Overlord, come forth."
As soon as our MC said that, Sebas Tian appeared in front of him.
Sebas Tian looked at our MC and said, "Young Master, Sebas Tian at your service."
"Then I want Sebas to be sent around 1980," our MC said. He looked at Sebas. "Sebas, when you arrive, I want you to amass our wealth. Invest and become a major shareholder in big companies."
As soon as Sebas heard our MC, he looked at him with a confused expression and said, "Young Master, I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about the companies you are referring to."
"Ah, sorry. Can you transfer my general knowledge to Sebas? But please do not include my personal life...just major knowledge."
"Alright, no problem," the absolute being said as he snapped his fingers and transferred the memories to Sebas.
"Then we will go now. Also, I want to arrive around the year 2006 at the age of 15. I think I want to be in South Korea, since before I wanted to go on a trip there, but unfortunately I died."
"Alright. If that's all, we will send you now," the absolute being said.
As soon as they saw our MC nod, they sent him and Sebas to the alternative Earth.
"Enjoy and live without any regrets, young soul"

Sup so like yeah this fanfiction is mostly I planned only doing some slice of life and some action I think? I'm doing this cause like this past few months I been asking myself "What is love" So yeah I hope while doing this story I will find my answer to it.
Also don't worry about the summon things I just wanted to create a story where some characters being together... They will part of the slice of life thing. Maybe this might turn into romance but I don't know but I do know that this will not a fucking harem.
Hope you hop in on my journey at discovering what is really love...
