1 Prologue

It had been...I don't know how long it had been since I felt happy. Maybe before the disease became a problem? Before my family abandoned me, maybe?

...Yeah. It would probably be then.

I suffered from a rare genetic disorder that meant my body rejected itself. My muscles atrophied, my bones became brittle, and my organs were weak and lethargic after fueling my body's conquest against itself. Usually, people would have a family to look after them but me? Not so lucky, honestly.

I was thrown away as a useless child. My mother and father were celebrities. Famous people who only cared for their image and what profit they could bring to their company. My siblings and I only served one purpose - to sell the facade that they (my parents) were nice, down-to-earth people who were just like their customers.

'They have a family like us!' 'They raised such polite and well-mannered children; they can't be too bad, can they?' were probably thoughts they wanted to inspire in others who saw them with us.

But they only wanted perfection.

And a child with a body that attacked itself? That was about as far from perfection as you could get, honestly. So, I was tossed aside into a hospital room. I was there until I just recently killed myself. Why did I do that? Because what use is there to living a life where you can do nothing? Where you're only seen as a liability to those who are supposed to love you?

The answer: It's pretty pointless.

So I ended it all by biting off my tongue and silently bleeding to death. It hurt but when wasn't my body hurting?

If this is what happened, then why am I thinking about happiness? Because I'm happy right now, of course. Not because I killed myself. God no. I'm not some kind of maniac. No, I'm happy...because I'm in a big white room with two massive roulette wheels spinning in front of me...

It's like those reincarnation novels with wishes!

...Just without the God to speak to...or the actual choice on my wishes...

Firming myself for what's about to come, I put my sickly white hand on the wheel to the left. It had a board over it which said 'Destination', and I could only guess that it meant where I was going to be sent to. Grabbing the side of the wheel and pulling down, the giant wheel began to spin, but not because of me. No, it seemed to be picking speed up on it's own.

It was about 5 meters in diameter and it was chocked full of sections, which were each blurred out to me as of yet.

The wheel kept spinning for a while...and I mean, a very long while...but in the end it did stop and I was pleasantly surprised to see what it stopped on, and what that choice was inbetween.

Nice. Though it is pretty lucky of me to not have landed on the two things either side of it.

...I really wouldn't like my chances if I got sent to either one of those worlds.

But I ignored such terrifying thoughts and kept my mind focused on all the beautiful women in this new world I'd be going to. But more than anything, I was excited about what I was going to get next. So I span the massive wheel.

It spun...and it spun...and it spun...it spun so much that at some point I actually fell asleep. I don't know how - because I was already dead and I assumed I wouldn't need sleep - but I was awoken when in a dream I fell off a cliff, shaking myself in real life when I hit the ground. My eyes shot open and realizing that I'd been asleep, I quickly sat up and looked at he wheel. It was resting on one thing and three smaller wheels had appeared in front of me.

"Huh..." I nodded, "Not too bad," my groggy and hoarse voice was filled with a pleased tone as I quickly spun the 2 feet diameter wheels in front of me.

Each of them landed one after the other before they disappeared and a small screen appeared in front of me.

(Good Luck)

And with that, I was back to darkness. But this time, I had no doubt that it was because I was about to be born. Or I'd just pop into existence somewhere. Either one would be welcome.
