The first time

Riku lays in his hospital bed, his family at the side as his eyelids grow heavy and start to fall, a machine off to the side of the bed releases a long beep showing that his heart has stoped.

His mother burst into tears, his father looks to the sky to prevent his tears from falling, his sister falls to her knees and begins weeping at his bedside. Riku sees all of this but can do nothing to stop it, after all he's dead, his soul stars to float into the sky. As his soul rises the voice of an old man enters his ears "you poor child, you never had a chance to truly live"

With that Riku's soul floats into heaven, but it does not stop in the paradise that is the afterlife, it keeps rising until it's in the sky of a wholly different world, it sinks downward into a forest toward the body of a boy with out a right arm, his soul enters the body and his eyes shoot open.

He begins panting heavily " what was that. A dream?""where am I, a forest?"

'Grrrrrrgggglllll' "I'm starving, guess I'll look for food while I try to figure out what's going on"

"Wait. What the hell is edible here, the grass?"

'CRACK' Riku hears a twig snap somewhere close by, it's at this moment he's struck by a sudden migraine "AHhhhhh!" He screams in pain, the world in his vision twists, a grey shadow flashes by his face and then darkness

Riku finds himself rising once again, he floats through the paradise again this time however he's looked at with pity

The same process as the first time repeats once again this time he enters the body of a young man in the middle of a battlefield

"Move it soldier" a gruff voice shouts so loud Riku's ears ring

Thus began his second hellish life.
