Chapter-1: Another Chance

"Huh!? where am I?" a voice is heard from a light orb which tries to feel its surrounding and says, "its only darkness, infinitely."

Some memories flash by as it wonders, "so, is it that I am dead or?" after it sighs and says, "well, I guess I should be dead. After being hit by a truck and blown away like a thrown stone from uphill and falling in a river here i am forever closing my eyes as a human."

He is Kai a normal human soul from earth. Why he isn't shocked that he is dead?

Having lived 40-years of life and fulfilling all duties he should, He thinks, "well, I cared for and served my parents till the end, was a good and caring brother, a friend who is helpful and cheerful as well as a kind and sociable person respected loved in his society. But isn't dead imminent, I just hope that they all take care of themselves stay together like how in the past." Reviewing the happy moments of his life. 

As such while he wonders of his x-life a colorful light fills the surrounding and the soul feels as if he is relieved from any worries or thoughts. The feeling of warmth really is good however the soul then feels that he not only is being relieved but his soul is growing from a tiny cluster of light into an entity filled with the same light and on feeling himself he is shocked to his current shape just like in his X-world.

He opens his eyes and slowly everything starts to be clear and he looks around him in wonder. A beautiful world devoid of planetary existence but blackhole like large entities, endless stars and various different lights shining differently. 

"Love what you are seeing." A voice resounds in that endless cosmos and kai nods- 'hmm, hmm.' But then with a socked expression looks around him and as he glances over his head just scream in fear and shock to see a large head neither complete nor physical but instead made up of elements and not one or two but seemingly around 100 different ones.

"I won't kill you" says the entity.

Kai immediately regains his composure and then greets him respectfully. To which the entity says, "I have no sense of those etiquettes that humans of the mortal world like yours perform. I will be direct. For a being like you simply 1-live in a whole is constituted by experience and likewise it repeats for 12 times and the 12-lives forge 1-cycle of reincarnation. There are about '9-cycles of Reincarnation' and which upon completion that result 1-cycle of samsara. And when '1000-cycles of Samsara' finishes then it completes '1-eternal cycle of incarnation' and upon completion karma accumulated will result for next eternal cycle. If karma has been accumulated highly good over evil , then its allowed for another cycle and for vice versa the soul is extinguished while those in middle, i.e. balanced at between good and evil, need to suffer and go through various trials to be qualified."

"Am I of the middle?" asks kai with a wondering look.

"No."

"Then why am I here?"

"Because unlike others who have always obtained various opportunities having consumed their good karma in the next life of theirs are only able to show projection of their karma be it the consumed amount of karma used in the entire eternal cycle. However, you were never that lucky well I mean even your luck shone in one life but you still obtained lots of karma from that life. Your karma overwhelms laws as its not projection but true metaphysical existence but not that it's difficult for me to make you go through normal process but it'd be a waste of your accumulated karma as in all of your lives of this eternal cycle you have been born and living in mortal realms. Hence, I will provide you with wishes to fulfil desires as long as they don't break certain laws. But do remember that you cannot wish any relations from the previous eternal cycle as you should know the eternal cycle changes for every being randomly." Says the entity solemnly.

Kai then thinks for a moment and then asks, "sir, does the world of novels and stories of my world exist?" with some hope to which then entity replies, "eternity is called so because of being eternal and never ending with infinite possibilities as realities. They all exist not only as in one but in millions."

Kai with joy then says, "umm. Then i.. wait what will I ask?" 

Initially in confusion then he asks for a paper and pen to write down his wishes and so does the entity bring them forth where he writes:

· Reborn in soul land (tang San's era- a timeline with me being the only variation)

· As a 1-year-old orphan who is found by two old elders need in love of grandchild in their last years of which one is blacksmith (rank-7)

· A Status window Window for info and details.

· Info of all herbs and proper way of use, system will show the details and way of creating concoctions.

· Initial awakened soul power: lv. 1

· Cultivation speed: innate full soul power

· Body looks: black hair, fair and simply good. A kind and calm face with a small hint of smile.

· Retain Knowledge of art and 

· Bloodline: related to the original character's parents.

· Martial souls (3)

1. Iron broad sword form (it will be a Bankai- whose true form awakens after reaching certain level in sword path and Soul level but before reaching godhood)

2. Spiritual eye (any) (if obtained golden awakening get jade emperor's eye.)

3. Sacred gear (any)

· All martial soul evolvable and soul ring able to sustain bloodline energy fusing to result evolving bloodline-soul rings except tool-type.

· Erase the memories of my parents, my brother and my friends but at same time also retain my conscious feeling and emotions i spent together with them.

After that Kai hands it over to the entity as such the paper floats and then the entity says, "Kai, your new life will begin but remember you still will have a good luck on your side for I will erase remaining karma of yours for good luck and hope you enjoy life to fullest as you may never get another chance like this."

Kai nods in agreement understanding the words as he also understands that if he doesn't enjoy this life who knows if he will get or not another chance like Tang San who forcefully reincarnated himself in soul land 5.

The entity then spells some words:

ξεκινήσει ο επόμενος αιώνιος κύκλος

αιώνιο κοσμικό χάος και οι νόμοι ανταποκρίνονται στην έγκρισή μου

Kai doesn't understand a single thing but then a sudden energy wraps him and then turning into an orb of light kai disappears while the entity also returns back disappearing.

After some time, kai feels a voice a female one and with tone of oldness, "dear look at him, he is fine."

"Oh really?" "Hmm." Replies the old female voice.

He opens his eyes to find two old people looking at him dearly and coddling him. The old man then says," my little dragon, from today you my grandson will have the name Shen long." Naming Kai Excitedly as his wife looks at him happily. Kai (now Shen Long) also smiles a bit looking happily at his new grandparents.
