Chapter-1 The Restart
It was the monsoon season, and it seemed like the net of dense clouds wanted to drown everyone in abysmal darkness. A 16 year old boy, Ryan, was reluctantly going back to his house from school thinking of the headache that awaited him. Ryan is a naive person who often got bullied at school but he still felt that it was better than his home. He would never break the rules or do anything deemed inmoral by society. He was so afraid of trouble that he never even complained about his bullies fearing the repercussions.
Ryan's family is poor and his father had to work 2 jobs to make enough money to send him to school. His mother is a drug addict who has been on and off from rehab and spent all her money on it. She used to beat him and even steal the pocket money he used to save for himself. His father is a strong and determined man but was helpless when it came to his mother. They fought everyday about her habits and how she was getting out of control and that he would leave her if she wont stop it.
While pondering about his family situation Ryan stepped through his house's gate when he heard a shout:
"you fucking bitch i have had enough of you so you can get out of my house"
Ryan thought it was some daily fight and ignored the yelling.
But when he stepped through the door he heard a scream of pain and rushed to his parent's room. He saw something which left him schocked and he couldn't comprehend what was happening.
His mother had a knife in her hand which was stabbed into his father's chest. Fear took Ryan over and he couldn't speak or move. He saw his psycho mother move towards him and softly speak, "Ryan it wasn't mother's fault, he was going to leave me I had to do this".
Ryan couldn't get out of his paralysed state, but he still felt an urgency to call out for help for his father. He finally shook himself and ran towards the door shouting for help. But his mother chased him with knife in her hand shouting that he couldn't call for help otherwise she would go to jail. Ryan sprinted on the road fearing that his mother would kill him as well if he stayed. But as soon as he took a turn out of the alley, a bright light blinded him and the next thing he saw was a truck which was going to hit him.
Next moment, he could feel warmth all over his body as blood was pouring out of his mangled body. His eyes felt heavy. But he lifted his eye lids just enough to catch a glimpse of his mother's despairing face running away from the scene. He felt so much wrath that it felt like his blood was boiling. Even though he remained an upright person in his entire short life, he was going to die like this?! He was appaled at such injustice and could not help but hate the heavens. But still in his last moments he wished that he had a better life and family.

Ryan felt softness all over his body as he heard a woman's voice close to him, "Madam Marie, congratulations, you gave birth to twins a boy and a girl". He opened his eyes and saw himself in the bosom of a nurse. He thought, "What the f*ck! Didn't I die? Also why is my vision so small, wait my body feels small too. Did I get reincarnated?". He was bewildered by the realisation that his life was turning into something right out of a fantasy novel.
"Let me see them and hold them for once. I dont have much time". Another woman spoke but her weak voice sounded happy and sad at the same time.
"My son, you will be named Ryan and my pretty daughter will be named Zahia. I am sorry that I wont be able to watch you grow up" Marie spoke with tears in her eyes. She tied a green jade necklace around both of her children's neck. "lngrid, take my son and daughter to their father and tell him to take care of them".
"But madam-"
Marie interrupted the nurse, "He will understand everything, now you have to get out of here before they get here". Ingrid took the babies in her hand and left. Marie was now lying alone in the room mumbling to herself, "My children are safe now and I hope they can grow up strong enough before that monster finds them"
While all this was happening; Ryan was completely oblivious to his surroundings. He was trying to process all that has happened to him. He saw his father getting killed by his mother, he got hit by a truck and died and now he was reincarnated into a different body. When he remembered what his mother did he felt hatred for her, but then he assured himself that this life would be different.
"This life I would be unrestrained and bow to no one. No rules shall bind me and I would do anything I want even if its immoral, just as long as it pleases me. I definitely have to indulge in all the pleasures that I didn't in my previous life. I even died a virgin and didn't even get to kiss. I have to have a lot of sex in this one at the least" Ryan thought to himself. "But why didn't I get any wishes or power ups. Does this world even have any magic or something like that? Nevermind I will figure everything out as it comes".
