1 Chapter 1: The Rebirth
"What a boring day." Mumbling to myself while yawning.
But, I was very, very wrong after school. When I went home, I found my classmate that I rarely talk to being robbed at gunpoint.
"Give me your money!" The robber yells as he backs her up on a wall
"No, no! Somebody help me!"
Without thinking this through, I dash at the robber then grab his gun, struggling to take the gun away from him.
"Run!" I yell at the girl
But, the girl was scared stiff and crying on the ground. BANG! While struggling with the gun, it accidentally discharges. The girl, who heard the shot, snapped out of her shocked state and ran to safety.
I hope she's going to be safe, but now is not the time to think about it. When the girl escaped, I kicked the robber's stomach, managing to loosen his grip on the gun. But, I made one huge mistake, it was already pointed on my waist and somehow the robber pulled the trigger. BANG! Pain that I have never imagined zap through my body like being struck with lightning!
'Oh no, I can't focus.'
With a loud thud, I drop to the ground like a sack of rice, bleeding, while gripping on the gun that could lead to my eventual death. The dumbfounded robber took that as a sign to leave the scene, but I will not let that happen!
"N-no way I'm letting yo-you go." grunting from the pain, my voice is weak and hoarse but full of determination.
With all the remaining strength that I can muster. I aimed the gun, slowly squeezed the trigger, and BANG! A bullet so fast and so small hit him in the center of his spine, effectively paralyzing him or even killing him. Now that I got my payback, the only thing I can do is wheeze my life in my own pool of blood. But, I didn't feel scared even in this situation, which is a bit crazy when I was literally dying.
"Go-good thing I was a sh-arp shooter." Wheezing.
Granted, I was only playing with airsoft guns, but I love playing it which made my aim better, I guess. Also, I have never imagined that the first time I would fire a gun was during this robbery, even shooting someone. But, I also managed to save someone's life.
Actually, now that I think about it, there was a possibility that the robber would just take her stuff and run. But, I just did the most heroic and stupidest move ever. Well, I can't regret it now.
Speak of the devil, the classmate I saved is with two police officers, quickly trailing behind her. When they arrived, one of the officers used first aid me, the other one checking a possibly dead robber.
They took the gun away and tried to stop the bleeding, but it was pointless. I was lying here bleeding for the last 5 minutes. Knowing my impending doom, with all my might I ask her with these three words.
"A-are y-y-you o-k?" I said while gasping for a breath of air.
"Yes! Just please hold on!" Crying while tightly gripping my numb hands.
When I heard that, I gave her a weak smile. Feeling the last, weak beats of my heart, I saw my vision turning gray until darkness engulfs me.
"Miss…" The officer, grimly feeling the missing pulse of his heart. "he's gone."
"No-Nooo! You can still save him! Please! You have to save him!" She desperately pleads to the officers.
"I'm sorry miss... but… his heart... is not beating."
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

"Where am I?" I ask, confused.
Looking around, I was just standing around or floating in this vast empty white space. No visible ceiling, floors, or anything that has distinguishable shapes, just white. Then, reality suddenly sets in.
"Wait? Am I dead?"
"Yes, you're dead"
"Gah!?" Surprised from the sudden voice.
That scared the shit out of me! And who the hell is speaking, I can't see him!?
"Right behind you."
Did he just read my mind or was that some kind of intuition!?
"Oh my god!? You're going to give me a heart attack!"
Wait, I think bleeding out was the reason my heart stopped, not cardiac arrest. But first, I look at the guy who scared me. A grandpa looking man was looking at me, wearing a white robe similar to the color of the room.
"Yes, I'm indeed God." He said while chuckling from my reaction.
"Please don't scare me like that! I just died!"
"Sorry about that."
"So your God then?"
He nods.
"What happened after I was killed? If you don't mind me asking."
"Let me show you."
Out of nowhere, a screen appeared that shows me what happened after I died. The girl that I saved was crying while a police officer consoles her while asking for information about what happened.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" Repeating it until she was out of breath.
A large crowd gathered around the crime scene, while my lifeless body is carted off by an EMT in an ambulance before driving off. I feel happy that the girl is safe, but I also feel guilty about what happened.
"If you survive, she will surely try to marry you, you know? She's also beautiful."
When I heard that outrageous comment, my cheeks felt warm. If I have a mirror, I'm sure that my face is ripe as a tomato. God was just nonchalantly smiling.
"Come on! Look at her! She's crying because she's blaming herself."
"Uh-huh."
"I really can't argue, can I?"
"..." He ignores my comment.
"Ok, so why am I here?" Sighing, ask God a question.
"For your reward."
"It's because I saved my classmate?"
"Yes, the reward will be reborn and given one special wish."
"Before I tell you what wish I want, can I ask what kind of world I will be reborn?"
"My, you really are through, but you have to experience it yourself."
Of course, he's not going to give details about the other world, so I have to ready myself when I'm reborn.
"So what will your wish be?"
"Ok, this is going to be hard... My wish... Is that I can create anything I want using the knowledge of Earth"
"Your wish has been granted."
When he granted me my wish, a beam of light surrounded me. Before I fading away, I spoke to God before I was blinded by the light
"Child, I want you to have a better and longer life than the short 17 years you had on Earth."
"Thank you!"
"Goodbye."
Blinded by the light, darkness follows.

It's dark, why is it so dark? It's lonely, awful, and it's cold, very cold! Please! Someone! Anybody! Make this stop! I want this to stop! Stop! STOP!
"Waaaahhhhh!"
"Oh no, my little baby is crying"
When I slowly open my eyes, I see a beautiful lady full of motherly love, holding me in her arms. I then look at her more closely and see something odd. Her ears are like those from an animal, so weird, but also nice to look at.
WAIT... why am I small? Something is weirdly not right here. Then it hit meI was reborn! So, I tried to look around my surroundings and found a mirror. WHAT!!! Is that me!? I look like an infant! I took a closer look at myself and surprisingly I have the same ears as the lady with... a tail!? When I look at the lady and myself, I feel a sense of love and familiarity from her. When she spoke, the reason was revealed.
"There, there it's alright, Mommy's here my ~~little Felix."
She's my mother and my name is Felix.
