The last thing I could recall was that excruciating pain that had been tearing through my body. But now, it was all gone, like it had never existed. No pain, no discomfort—just pure serenity. Instead, I found myself completely engulfed in this brilliant, otherworldly light. I tried to open my eyes, but the radiance was next-level blinding. I mean, we're talking an intense, all-encompassing white light that was so dazzling it felt like I'd stumbled into some high-tech sci-fi movie or something.

As the brilliant light kept on doing its thing, it felt like I was getting wrapped up in a big, cozy hug. I mean, I was just floating around, not a care in the world. It was like being in some kind of space where time and place didn't really matter, you know? Super weird, but also strangely chill, like I'd stumbled into a dream that I never wanted to end.

But then, things started to get even crazier. It was like something was pulling me in all sorts of directions at the same time, and suddenly, I was hit with this wild rush of feelings and thoughts. It was like my whole life flashing before my eyes, and let me tell you, it was a rollercoaster.

My memories from the past life, well, they started flashing in my head like scenes from an old, familiar movie. It was like watching a highlight reel of all the moments that made me who I was—both the good and the not-so-great. I saw the big choices I'd made, the forks in the road that led me down one path instead of another, and, of course, all the regrets that had piled up over the years. These memories were there to stay, and there was no escaping them.

As I relived these moments, it was impossible not to feel a profound sense of letdown in myself. It was like this heavy, nagging weight I'd been lugging around from my past life. I'd made choices that couldn't be taken back, and their consequences were like this looming storm cloud in my mind, always reminding me of the past.

Disappointment, from my current perspective, felt like this heavy anchor in my soul, constantly pulling me down and keeping me stuck. The mere thought of going through that same sensation all over again in this new life was unbearable. I just couldn't bear the idea of repeating that experience.

But in this fresh start, in this chance to rewrite my story, I had the opportunity to leave disappointment behind. I was determined to bid farewell to that feeling and give hope a real shot. It was my chance to embrace hope and make sure that disappointment stayed a distant memory.

In the middle of all these emotions and memories swirling in my head, there was this one question that just wouldn't let up: Could this fresh start, this second shot at life, be my chance to fix the mistakes I'd made in the past? The idea was so tempting, and it injected a burst of hope into my soul.

Once the wild ride of thoughts started calming down, a voice cut through the chaos. It was unlike any voice I'd ever heard, soft yet steady, echoing all around me in this boundless space.

"Indeed, you're getting another shot," the voice echoed, sounding all formal and important. Its words were measured, as if it was trying to patch up the cracks within me. "A chance to start fresh, making choices that benefit everyone."

But I couldn't help but wonder. "Making choices?" I thought to myself. I started to ponder what this meant. "Does this mean I can do whatever without ticking off any big-shot higher beings?"

The deity's words hit me deep. They carried so much weight, this boundless promise that wrapped around me like a warm hug, rekindling my hope. It was like an invitation to move forward, leaving all the letdowns of the past behind. I had the freedom now to shape my own destiny, not just for me but for those around me.

The idea of having choices without the worry of ticking off some divine bigwigs was seriously cool. It meant I could live a life free from all that fate and higher power drama, where I got to be the captain of my own ship.
