Chapter 1: Death & Reincarnation

<p><br/>Currently in the busy streets of Tokyo, a young teen named Marcelius Loxwood was walking down the pathway, lost in his own world with headphones on his ears. <br/><br/>Today was Christmas, and the festive spirit was sown into the fabric of the city. The roads were adorned with a fresh blanket of snow, creating a picturesque scene that seemed straight out of a winter wonderland.<br/><br/>Marcelius, bundled up in his warmest jacket and a beanie pulled down to his eyebrows, felt a tingling sense of excitement.

People scurried about, carrying shopping bags filled with presents, laughter filling the air as families and friends met up for this special day. The colorful lights and decorations adorning buildings and lampposts created a vibrant tapestry against the white canvas of the snow-covered cityscape.<br/> <br/>One may wonder where Marcelius was going, one might not know.

But they hoped for the best, However, fate was truly a cruel thing, the doctors said, 'We are sorry.' and went away.<br/>The room fell into a heavy silence, broken only by the stifled sobs of Marcelius's devastated family.
