Caution, this is this the first and only chapter of Part 3.

How Many Times Do I Have To Die? Is It Really Necessary? Part 3

Chapter 1; Back Here?

I found myself flying high above the planet for the 3rd time in my life. I knew what I did just seconds ago. I let my emotions get the best of me.

But…

If I let Redrae die, I don’t know how I would live with myself.

God spoke up.

“Ahem. So you did it again. Surprising you have only done this 3 times, considering how trigger happy others can get.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, some other people who have been bestowed with your power decide to reconstruct before they’ve even spent a month in their new world.”

“There are… Others?”

“Yes, or, there were others to be more specific.”

“What happened to them?”

“They all succeeded.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Although, it’s been more than a million years since the last Wielder. So the effects they made are practically unnoticeable.”

I asked God the question my heart had been screaming at me to ask throughout the entire time I had been here.

“What happened to Redrae?”

“She is safely talking to an angel on the other side of the planet.”

“I see.”

“Well, the reconstruction is almost complete, so I suppose I should get started with everything.” God cleared his throat almost iconically, “First, you will be born into a society that has been around on a planet called ‘Earth’ for many years. Second, you will be in the body of a 6 year old boy, who is in a family of 3. Third, magic does not exist on Earth. Fourth, for your time in this new galaxy, your aging will follow a different process. From your time age 6-20, one normal year of aging will be regular. When you reach age 20, it will take 10 years for one years aging process. Once you reach the age of 40, your aging will completely stop. Your aging will follow this process because you are invincible in this galaxy. You can actually give this invincibility to other people, if you perform the ritual. Finally, Good luck.”

Earth!?

That’s one name I never thought I would hear again. But it was right there. I was going back to Earth.

“God, what year is it on Earth?”

“In your calendar, I believe it is 2011” I was 6 years old in 2011.

“Am I in the same body I was in when I was on Earth for the first time?”

“No. You are in a different body.” God looked at Earth, “Oh, it’s time. You need to get to your body.”

“Wait!”

“Hmm?”

“What about Redrae? Is she coming to Earth? And where can I find her?”

“Oh she is coming. She has a goal too. You will meet each other again soon.”

“Wait-” I tried to hold onto the conversation with God, but it was too late. I had already awoken in my new body.

I looked at the walls, they were painted a light shade of blue, and had many posters and such on them.

After closer inspection, the posters were of different TV shows, mostly ones kids would like.

They were all in Japanese, so I knew I was at least still in Japan.

But, everything else was a mystery.

“Iro! Breakfast!” My name stayed the same!? Besides that, the voice I heard was a woman’s, so I assumed it was my mother.

“Coming!” I responded swiftly, as I got dressed, and went to where I heard the voice from.

I walked through a hall with 3 doors, the one I just left from, one to the left which I assumed was my parent’s room, and one more to the right which was the bathroom.

I came out of the hall to be greeted by my mother putting eggs on the table.

“Morning.” I said, trying to be friendly with someone I had never met.

“Morning, I’ve got eggs on the table, and the bacon is almost done.”

The room I was in had a large kitchen, and a table vaguely pointed towards the direction of the TV.

I sat down, said thanks for the meal, and began eating. Without meaning to though, my mouth said, “It's so good!”

“Is it good? You have this every morning, don’t know why you're suddenly surprised.”

I have to try to avoid things like this. Then again, I have no idea what the kid was like before this. Maybe it will seem like I'm just growing up and changing. All at once though? I don’t know.

“Where is dad?” I asked,

“Oh, dad is at work honey. He’ll be back by 5:00.” So just my dad goes to work. My mom continued, “Today is a Friday, so he’ll be home all day today and tommorow, then you have your first day of school!”

So Monday is my first day of school… I guess the next 3 days are a bit of a tutorial for this body.

I finished my meal, and thanked mom.

I went back to my room, to try to figure out a bit about what this kid’s life was like.

It’s so much more difficult being reincarnated into someone else’s body. Which makes me wonder…

What happened to the kid that was in my body before me? Did he die? Did he never exist in the first place?

One day I’ll ask God. One day.

I rummaged through my room. I found various games and toys, but the thing that interested me most was the GameBox by Mimtendo.

It was a purple box to play video games on! What more could you want? It even had a handle! It’s controller was weird but amazing as well, it was completely different from it’s competitor, the PlayTerminal 2 by Suny. While the PT2 completely outsold the GameBox, the GameBox had a more loyal fanbase.

I played the games, pressing the almost new buttons, something I hadn’t felt in decades.

While I was enamored with the GameBox, I had to get to work.

“I’m leaving!” I told mom,

“Come back by 3:00!” Mom responded.

I had to find somewhere where I wouldn’t be watched…

Then I realized it.

I was in the middle of the smallest village I had ever seen.

“What the hell!? I have to start here of all places? Why do I have to start here when I could have started in Tokyo?! I don’t want to play around in the country!” I yelled to the air, knowing no one would hear me, as there were no other houses in the area.

This was good for one thing though, I definitely wouldn’t be watched. There was no one in the area to watch me!

So I started with my training.
