2 Reincarnated

Gunnar slowly awakens. He opens his eyes and watches his surroundings. He lied in floor of a white room with nothings in the room. Only four white walls that emitting gentle white glow which bring illumination to the room.

"Where am i? Am I dead? Last thing I remembered I was on bus trying to take book from my backpack before suddenly everything is black" Gunnar muttering.

"Seems you gain your memories back, and yes you're dead" a hoarse voice came from Gunnar back.

Gunnar startled and turns his back. There's no one except him in this room before and now suddenly an old man appears behind him. The old man wearing white robe, sitting cross legged, smiling gently to Gunnar.

"I am…dead…really dead?" Gunnar is almost speechless.

"Yes, you are dead" the old man reply in calm tone

"What place is this? Is this heaven? Gunnar asks the old man.

"No, this is not heaven or hell either. This is just a temporary shelter" said the old man.

"Temporary shelter? Then what will happen to me? Who are you?" Gunnar keeps asking the old man.

"I'm your guardian. You will be given two options to choose. First, stay dead and your soul will send to the land of nothingness, place where all souls resting. Second, you can reincarnated to live again in different world, not the world you used to live"

"Reincarnated? Really? Is that true? I can live again?" Gunnar almost can't believe what he'd heard.

"You die in China, land of mystery and mystic. People here believe reincarnation. Beliefs are power. So, special circumstances created for you from that power of beliefs".

Gunnar suddenly remembers his friends. "My friends, are they die too? Are they reincarnated too?".

The old man only shakes his head and answering, "Sorry, I'm only responsible for your being. So, what's your choice?"

Without hesitation Gunnar answers the question. "I choose to reincarnated!"
