My name is . . . Erlyn Lock, I've lived most of my life in isolation. Life has always been boring for me . . . maybe it's because I spend most of my days bedridden due to a disease I was born with. I have a really weak heart and my parents worry for my survival every day and I hate it. I hate worrying them so much . . . But, there's nothing I can do about it.
To pass time, I usually read novels and Manhwas in my room because it makes me happy and entertained. I always dream of a world where I was the strong protagonist! But maybe not a righteous one because I know that being too righteous and kind can lead to my death. My personal favorite manhwa is 'Tower of God' because of the concept of a tower that can grant your wish. My wish is to either be healthy or be able to live happily with my family. But . . . the tower doesn't exist and that's reality.
I have always possessed tremendous luck to the point where I was able to live up to 18 years old, even though the doctors estimated my lifespan to be up to 10 years. But even if I managed to survive up to this point, my condition worsens every day. To pay my medical bills, my parents worked day and night. I always see them exhausted with eye bags under their eyes every time they visit me. But they always smile as if everything was fine, it . . . frustrates me. I sometimes hear my mother's cries as she prays for my health every day, while my father will always be there comforting her. But of course, nothing lasts forever . . . I passed away due to a heart attack at the age of 18, a week before my mother's birthday. That was one of the biggest regrets in my whole entire life as I hear my parents' screams and cries as they try to call for help and bring me to the hospital as fast as they can.

Everything felt cold and numb as I drift off into an eternal slumber, it was dark and peaceful . . . I thought this would be the end. But I then heard a voice, I didn't know where it came from . . .
[ Welcome child . . . ] The voice called me a . . . child? I'm 18 and I'm pretty sure I'm considered an adult and not a child.
[ But you are a child compared to my age! Well, never mind that, you might as well be an infant compared to me. ] Huh? How old is this person?!
[ Well, going back to the topic of discussion, I am what you mortals call a god as you can say . . . ] God . . . ? I guess gods do exist then. But why am I here?
[ Well you are here to get reincarnated as all living beings always reincarnate after death ] Reincarnation . . . just like those novels I often read?
[ Well you can say it like that! To determine your reincarnation, we will read your life history and see your karma points ] Karma points? I guess karma does exist, I never truly believed in religion, but I guess it's all true.

Poor Health
[ You have such amazing intelligence! Too bad it was wasted due to your poor health ] Is god mocking me? I was born with that poor health, so it's not my fault!
[ Hoho, I never said it was! ]
[ Well, you also got the blessing +* Ethereal Beauty *+ from one of your previous lives as a female, maybe that's why you looked quite beautiful and feminine even if your biological gender is that of a male ] So that's the reason why I look like a girl?!
[ Well let's get straight to the point, let's spin the wheel of memories beforehand to know if you will be reincarnated with or without your memories! ] Wheel of memories . . . I hope I can remember. The chance to be reincarnated with my memories is 8% and while the other is 92%, the chance of gaining my past memories is so low . . .
[ Of course, it's low! Past memories can be a big change to a person's life! ] I guess that's fair enough.
[ Let's spin it now! ] The wheel is spinning so quickly . . . It makes me nervous. After a while, the wheel finally stopped and it landed on . . . Memories! I'm gonna be reborn with my memories!
[ Hoh . . . Quite the lucky one aren't cha! But then again, the luck written on your life history is very large! ] I guess that's true.
I think that the story's progression is going fine so far, but I am still an amateur at writing, so there are a lot of things that needs to be improved . . . but, I am quite satisfied by my current capabilities, so I'll try to make better chapters in the future!
