Reincarnation

Mark is a surgeon in Melbourne Hospital. He is in his late 30s; his mother died when he was a teenager after giving birth to his little sister Lucy. Her death led Mark to give up on his dream to become a professional boxer and to pursue becoming a surgeon in order to protect his remaining family members and save others from feeling the same grief as he felt when he lost his mother.

However, things do not always go as planned. Mark's father was hospitalized due to cancer, and he spent countless sleepless nights trying to cure him in any way possible. However, his efforts were unsuccessful, and his father passed away. Likewise, his sister contracted the Corona virus, and she also passed away.

Mark felt so depressed that he wanted to commit suicide, but his friends stopped him, and they told him he could save others from feeling the same despair by saving their loved ones.

So Mark decided to continue living, and he started to conduct surgery after surgery like a madman. He also spent his nights enhancing his studies to improve his medical knowledge.

One day, when Mark had just finished surgery, he fell to the ground, his heart stopped beating, and he passed away.

Mark opened his eyes and started looking around. He found himself in a very vast, dark plain. "Where am I?" he asked loudly to himself.

An old man with snow white hair and a snow white beard suddenly appeared. He wore a snow white robe.

The old man had fair skin, a face full of wrinkles, black eyes, and a skinny physique. He was holding a long stick in his right hand.

The old man looked kindly at Mark and said, "You are on a plain that exists between the living world and the afterlife; this plain exists for those souls that have done a lot of virtue deeds or good karma; you are eligible to have a new chance at life, my child."

Mark then realized that he had died, but asked the old man some questions: "Who are you, old man?" How did you die? Are you also eligible for a new chance in life?"

"I am known by many names," the old man said with a chuckle. "I am the ruler of life and rebirth. I am the god of life and reincarnation."

Mark widens his eyes in shock, and the old man continues, "You have been through a lot in your life, my child. You deserve a second chance in life to live it to the fullest. I am willing to give you three blessings if you choose to reincarnate."

Mark thought deeply about what God said and told him, "I don't want your blessings." I want you to erase the memories of my past life. I went through a lot and failed to save my family. No matter how hard I tried, I don't want to remember my failures."

The god sighed. "Fine, I will erase your memories, but I will also give you the three blessings if you choose to reincarnate. Now choose your blessings, Mark."

Mark started thinking hard about what kind of blessing he wanted, but he couldn't decide and said to the god of life and reincarnation, "I'm not sure what kind of blessings to choose."

The god chuckled. "You always wanted to be a professional boxer when you were a teenager in your previous life." "You can choose a blessing to help you become one if you want."

Mark narrowed his eyes and said, "I have my own pride. I don't want to take the easy way; I want to earn my skills."

The god smirked and nodded. He tapped the dark plain with his stick. A huge roulette appeared in front of Mark, who raised his eyebrows when he saw it, and he asked the god, "What with the roulette?"

The god chuckled. "I decided to give you my blessings in the form of talents." That way, you'll still work hard for the skills you'll acquire in the future. For example, if you choose to pursue boxing in your new life, you will work hard to acquire boxing skills, even with the blessings that I will give you. This is the best solution for your dilemma, don't you think?"

Mark smiled and nodded, then reached for the roulette with his hand and swung it for the first time. The roulette spun fast, then stopped spinning. An arrow pointed at a red triangle. The red triangle contained the words "high observation and comprehension talent".

"Your first blessing will be having high observation and comprehension skills." Spin the roulette again, Mark." Mark nodded to the god and spun the roulette again. After a few moments, the roulette arrow pointed at a yellow triangle. "Athletic talents" were written inside the triangle.

"Your second blessing will be "athletic talent." Now spin the roulette for the last time to receive your final blessing." Mark nodded and spun the roulette for the third time.

After a few moments, Mark spun the roulette for the final time, and the arrow stopped on a white triangle with the words "high athletics body" written inside.

The god smiled at Mark and said, "Will this is it, Mark I also decided to give you a training system. The system is nothing out of the ordinary. Now enjoy your new life, Mark."

A pure white light enveloped Mark, and within a second, he vanished from the plain. Suddenly, the god of life heard a loud yell: "How dare you, god of life, reincarnate this mortal into one of my new worlds?"

Suddenly, a tan-skinned man with black hair, wearing a black kimono, stood in front of the god of life and yelled at him in irritation, "How dare you send this mortal to be reborn into one of my new little worlds?"

The god of life chuckled and said, "You still owe me for losing in our last gamble, Shinigami. Just let this mortal live and enjoy his new life; he's been through a lot."

The Shinigami scoffed and crossed his arm. "No way." The god of life sighed. Then he got a brilliant idea: "How about we make a deal, Shinigami? You just let this mortal live his life in your little world, and I will let you have a connection to any of my little worlds."

The Shinigami eyes widened, then he gave a wide smile to the god of life and said, "Now we are talking, we have a deal." They both shook their hands and disappeared from the plain.
