1 Prolog: Two Souls, One Body

Having just died after finishing his memoirs titled 'Histoire de ma vie' (Story of my life) Giacomo Girolamo Casanova finds himself confronted with a rather unexpected situation. As an adventurer, Master Mayson and author he always had great expectations for the afterlife.

He always disliked the idea of the Christian afterlife with just a stay in paradise. He hoped for a chance to reconnect with all his past lovers but really believe in the idea of reincarnation. Oh, how wrong he had been.

After dying he found himself in a place that he could best describe as a clear night sky. All around him there are lights of all kinds of shapes, sizes and different colors. Ever since waking at this place he had waited for something to happen, so he now would make things happen.

Having gained some mobility though what he would call shaking, Giacomo raises through the sea of stars. Unable to slow down after once in motion, he with time gets used to it. The more he moves around the less he can tell where he has gotten himself relative to his original position.

Getting more and more addicted to speed, so he tries to move ever faster. Having found something to indulge the feeling he develops a more and more daring attitude. Trying out ever-riskier moves, somehow he loses control for only a second and crashes into an already nearly fainted light.

The moment he slammed into it another conscious try to invade him. Feeling his own self be painfully surprised by memories, knowledge, and emotions for only a moment, Giacomo just accepts and embraces them like one of his lovers to lessen the pain.

The soul he had crashed into belongs to a young boy, who had been hit by a bus after leaving home for school. Being very much focused on reading the last chapter of his favorite manga, named 'Detective Conan' the boy hadn't seen the light turn from green to red and was killed upon impact.

-Poor Child.- Giacomo thinks while absorbing everything that made that had remained of that boy. Learning about many great and fantastical things like busses, cellphones, and the internet, what really makes him speechless are the more basic information like the date and place the boy had lived in.

The boy had lived just like Giacomo on eath in a place that was called New York, the only difference being the year. Having lived in the 18th century, it is a shock to him that the boy had been living in the 21st. What really infuriates him is the use of his name 'Casanova' as a man of many talents to be reduced to only his romantic exploits of his youth realis is shameful. -At least they still remembered me after three centuries.-

Regaining this senses after absorbing the memories Giacomo feels the still existent force of motion. Unable to control his path he crashes into the second soul, this time a very bright one.

Instead of feeling the pressure of another soul invading his, he feels a strong suction force pull him in. Not knowing how to react or resist Giacomo who was still trying to organize his own and the boy's new memories loses all sense of himself.

Awakening, his head painfully hurting Giacomo regains consciousness while staring into a bright light. -Is this really a heaven? Where I in purgatory until now?- He thinks before a couple of police officers point their flashlights elsewhere. One police officer removes the flashlight from his face asking him in Japanese: ''Are you, kay little boy!?''

Still a little bit drowsy from absorbing a lifetime of memories he asks. ''Little boy...?'' -What are they talking about? I am clearly an old man... Since when can I speak Japanese?-

Crouching down the officer asks with a questioning look on his face: ''What happened to your head?''

-My head...? Oh, yea... I have a body now...- Giacomo thinks, wanting to touch his head but stopping halfway when realizing that he is wearing a set of way to oversized clothes. ''Huh?'' He says before looking down at his body, finding his feet and manhood significantly downsized. ''What the...'' He shouts out thinking. -What is going on? I don't want to be reincarnated as a child!''

Before the reincarnated old man can come to terms with the overall situation he is already picked up by the officer who talked to him.

''You must have been scared... but we are here to help you now...'' says the man before raising him high up in the air saying. ''Don't you worry little boy...''

Totally taken by surprise Giacomo screams out ''Yikes!'' before asking himself. -How'd he lift me up so easy- In the distance, he hears a police officer report cellphone. ''This is area B. We discovered an injured boy!! We are taking him over to the first aid station over!!''

Being carried closer to the man listening to whatever that is transmitted Giacomo hears the officer answer: '' Let's see... age six or seven probably in elementary school... He is wearing...''

- What what? Elementary school?!... Wait a minute this whole situation sounds a bit to familiar...- Giacomo thinks going through his own memories before checking the boys and getting lucky. - There it is... this is exactly like one of the scenes in that story the boy loved... called Detective Conan... Wait a minute am I inhabiting that protagonist's body?-
