1 Prologue

"Ahh! My head." I say as I touch my head on the zone where it hurts, and I slightly rise up.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I looked around me. I couldn't see much because this entire room is black, no light, no torches, no windows, nothing. The entire room is complete black as soon as I opened my eyes. I looked around a bit panicked, then I try to look at my arms. And when I did that, I notice that my hands are transparent. Thing that scared me at first. Then I am looking at my legs, transparent as well, just like my torso.

"What is this?" I asked scared. "I am dead?"

I try to remember the last thing that happened to me. I did not remember much, all I can remember was the sound of a "POW" and an insufferable pain in the back of my head. I try to touch that part of the head, and when I did, I felt something. I felt something metallic when I touched it. I pull the thing out from there, and when I did that, I look at it.

"A bullet?" I ask scared. "…D-Did I die?"

"Correct." says a voice.

I look around panicked, looking scared all around me. I try to see where was the voice coming from, but it was to no avail, the entire room was dark, and not able to see who is the source of the voice coming from.

"Who are you?" I ask feeling intimated. "What do you want from me?"

"I don't want anything from you." says the voice in a whisper tone like it is close to me. "You. You have been killed."

"I-I am dead?" I ask.

"Yes. You are dead." says the voice of this room.

"I-Is this the afterlife?"

"You can say that…" says the voice who is sounding tired like it has responded to the same question a millionth times. "You have been killed, and send to this "after life" you humans are calling it." he pauses. "You're called Tudor Andrei. You lived your entire childhood in Bucharest, Romania, then when you finished high school, you moved to Cluj when you got to college, and from there, you lived a quite interesting life. You had a mother and a father, that weren't to much present in your life. You had a sister, who also bit the dust and like you, she got sent here."

"Olivia is here?" asks Tudor cutting off the voice, sounding so excited.

"Her soul has been sent back to Earth." says the voice. "Now, she is a kid in Prague, Czechia. The only daughter of a mom, who is working as a retail store worker on a normal store. But that doesn't matter to you. Now, where were we… You had a lot of friends… And enemies, who have been crossing my room and chose their… "reward". Your parents also came here, and watched a bit of your life."

"Are my parents here?"

"Their souls are on other place."

"Where?"

"Don't know that." says the voice. "They decided to remain here, on this vast and infinite space of the universe."

"Can I meet them?"

"Wait for this, human. Let me finish reading out loud your life, and then we'll choose your sentence."

Tudor Andrei obeyed the order, and let this voice of the room continue talking about the man's life.

"After college you've had an adventure with a girl name Iona. A short adventure which ended in a break-up. Typical college relationship I say. And you had a second girlfriend, but this one killed herself. Yes, young and stupid girl, thinking that killing herself will reward a rewind in her life. Going back to her childhood. Unfortunately, she ended some place else, and now, she is paying the atrocity she made to herself." he takes a pause. "You've got a stable job in Cluj for the next eight years. Then, you've won green card and access to move in the United States of America. But you ended to live miserably there, am I right?"

"Yes…"

"I see your life in there was considered miserable by you humans. So miserable, that the cops killed you because they've mistaken you. Oh my, I cannot wait to see them coming here and give them a better sentence." then, the voice takes a pause. "Tudor Andrei, after reviewing your life, I come to the decision that you can choose the following choices."

"What choices?"

"First. You can remain here, venture on the emptiness of this room, just like other millions of souls. Two, you can come back to Earth, as a new person, having a new life, a new home, new souls around you and much more. Just like your sister have chosen it. But, even if you will reincarnate to the same city, at the same house, she will not remember you, nor you will remember her."

"Why?" asks Tudor Andrei to the voice.

"The memories… Will not remain in your new life."

"So. If I reincarnate on the same house of hers, and meet each other I will not be able to remember our past?"

"Yes. You will also be considered crazy and locked away." says the voice feeling a bit happy. "Now, there is a third option, which his kept for people who haven't killed themselves, lived in misery or had a hard life. That choice is reincarnation rewind."

"What's that?"

"In short, for you human, you will rewind your life, without fully knowing what will happen in your future."

"Wait, wait… You say I can go back from being a baby?"

"Yes."

"And I can live on the same house as I lived?"

"Yes."

"With the same family, friends and other special people that were in my life?"

"Yes."

"But I will not remember my past life? The one I've had for thirty-five years?"

"Thirty-six." corrects the voice. "But yeah, you will not remember anything. You may be doing the same thing over and over again, without you being aware of this. But the life you'll live, will have small twists."

"Twists?"

"Like in a movie. You'll see. Now. I'll let you think about the three options."

"I take option three." he says in five seconds.

"What reason?"

"I want… I want to become the better me." says Tudor to the voice.

"How original." says the voice in a sarcasm tone. "Now, for the souls who have taken three option I am allowed to give you only three twists."

"What are these twists?"

"Something that will make you have a different life than your past one. Like for example, you wanted a person to feel attracted to you in primary class, right? That is an example I can guarantee. But I am not allowed to give fragments of the memories from the past lives. Not allowed to change the setting of the world like being in an isekai life like in those degenerate Asiatic cartoons nowadays. Not allowed to make your dear ones remember your past lives. Not allowed to give you a photo from past life to have in your present one. Not allowed to give you super human abilities. And in general, be limited to your request of these twists."

"I understand." respond Tudor a bit overwhelmed by this.

He thinks for a few moments of what he can do in past life to have a better life. But as he was thinking, something is striking. a feeling like a "Déjà vu" like he had this conversation before, with the same voice. But he doesn't think much about this idea because, when he made clear his mind he says to the voice.

"First request is to not become an office worker." says Tudor to where is the voice supposed to be.

"Good." says the voice not sounding impressed and not wanting to know the motive.

"Second request is my mom to beat cancer."

"That is allowed."

"And last one… I want to follow my dreams… As a medic."

"Done." says the voice suddenly.

A ding is heard into this very room, a thing that opens a portal under Tudor Andrei. They should have that man falls through the portal and travels on the fast speed, back to the present, to the moment where he was just a baby, who barely left his mother womb.

"Goodbye for the sixth time Tudor Andrei." said the voice, who then remained silence for a while until another soul has been thrown here
