1 1 The Beginning

On an endless darkness there was a very small spark of light that was on the verge of dying out. It's light were keep on dimming as time passes by.

???: How long has it been since I was here, in this never ending darkness? Is this place really Hell? So this dark and quiet place is my torture until I become insane?

The tiny being keeps on repeating this sentences every time it 'wakes up'. It doesn't know how long it has been there, but the tiny being didn't know that it's flickering 'body' that's on the verge of extinguishing has been basking on the very essence of Law of Primal, Chaos, Grandmist, and Origin.

After a very long time, when the very very tiny being was about to be died out, a huge light came upon the place.

???: Hmm, as I thought there was something I forgotten here. It seems like this little one gain an enormous benefit, it's actually able to last this long on this place.

The ginormous Sun like light spoke lightly and then some light particles cover the tiny being and the both them disappeared.

...

On a very white place, an old man was sitting on a cusion, in front was a small wooden tea table. Taking a sip of his tea, the old man keeps on observing the man in front of him.

The man on the other hand was calmly and patiently waiting for the old man to finish his observation of him.

He already has a general idea on what's going on and who was the old man in front of him. If he was the himself of the old, he would already excitedly asking for wishes and reincarnation he loved the most like the novel and manga he reads on when he was alive.

But on the endless darkness and quiet place, the loneliness there makes him almost insane and at the same time gain a new abilities called patience and calm.

After almost an hour the old man broke the silence, "My child, it's been hard on you and I apologize for my negligence on the matter."

The man just shrugged his shoulders and calmly said, "It's Ok, although I almost went insane there, I am thankful for the experience. It helps me gain patience and tranquility I thought was impossible for me, since... you know... my temper when I'm still alive."

"I know, I watch all of your doings when you're still alive." said the old man while nodding.

"Then, as you know I am what you call a God on the Earth. To compensate you for my negligence towards you, I will give you 3 wishes and a chance of reincarnation of your own choice. Of course, you can still retain your memories as another small gift from me." said the old man with a sigh as the look of ashamed appears on his face.

The man was silent for a while, then with a wry smile on his face, "Can I choose the 2nd option? Can I... just go to heaven and be done with this?"

The old man God was greatly surprised to the answer of the man in front of him. He just look at the man for a while and then sigh in defeat. The old man shook his head and said, "I'm really sorry my child. Alright then, Go. May you rest in peace. I will find you a suitable family to be their son and have a good life."

The old man God waves his hand and a huge black door appeared out of nowhere. There was a pillar next to it carved with the words 'Samsara Door'.

The man's eyes lit up and was clearly amazed by what he saw but keep a calm and cool face. He then look towards the old man and bow 90° and said, "Thank you." with a slight smile on his face.

He started to walk towards the door, as he approaches, the door was opening on oh so slowly to let him pass with enough gap to fit himself.

When the man passes through, the door closed with a bang and disappeared. The old man sigh and shook his head slightly.

Unbeknown to the old man, there was a powerful Being who secretly watch them. Powerful enough to escape from the old man senses.

...

At the unknown location, there's a shadow of a woman who eavesdropped on the conversation of the old man and the man.

"Interesting" said the woman smilingly.

With a flick of her finger, a light shot through the void towards the 'Samsara Door' and penetrate it like nothing was blocking it's way all the way towards the man that just entered it.
