Reborn to be Royal

Chapter 1: Death

[Kai] "ouch! Shit! Fuck!"
[???] "what'd that wall ever do ta you kid?"
[Kai] "what?"

An older man with long white hair and a grizzly beard was sitting camouflaged with the garbage.

[Homeless man] "at least you're having a better night than that chick."
[Kai] "huh?"

Kai looked over in the direction the homeless man was talking about and he could make out the figure of 4 men harassing a single female. Kai, almost completely out of instinct began heading over to where they were but stopped himself when he realised, this is real life. Not a novel or a game.

[Homeless man] "you got a death wish kid? That shit happens around here, just ignore it or you're a goner."

As the homeless man spoke, one thought raced through Kai's mind.

[Kai] "I'm already dead anyway..."

One week. That's how long Kai had left to live, so, it didn't really matter to him anymore if it ended a little prematurely.

[Homeless man] "suit yourself kid. I ain't helping."

Kai ignored the homeless man and walked towards the group, picking up an iron pipe on his way, ready to relieve himself of his pent up stress and anger. As he approached, one of the men tapped the others on the shoulder and pointed the youth out to them.

[Man] "Oi! The fuck you want!?"
[Kai] "I came to ask if you'd let that girl go. She doesn't exactly look like she's enjoying herself.
[Man 2] "Fuck off prick! You want to die!?"
[Kai] "no one wants that. *smiles coldly* but everyone dies eventually."
[Man] "that pipe..."
[Man 3] "this crazy bastard wants to try something."

The men let go of the half naked girl who immediately sprinted off in the other direction.

[Man] "Ahhh shit. Look what you've done now. You're gonna have ta give us some compensation for that."
[Kai] "be my pleasure. How's a one-way express trip to the afterlife sound?"

Without saying another word, Kai raced forward, pipe in hand as the four men each drew small knives from their jacket pockets. As Kai's pipe collided with the head of one of the men, collapsing his skull, the mans knife was caught in Kai's side, causing blood to leak from the wound. At the same time the three others became enraged at their friend or
co-conspirator being killed, slashing and stabbing at the 21 year old, pipe wielding maniac in front of them. Kai's body became riddled with wounds as he swung the pipe to the right, connecting with another of the men's heads, instantly killing him.

[Man] "how the fuck!?"
[Kai] "Oxymorphone Hydrochloride."
[Man 3] "wha-?!"
[Kai] "*Swings pipe* painkillers dumbass!"

Kai's swing brought down yet another man, hitting him in the shoulder and breaking it, causing the man to bend over allowing Kai to knee him in the face.

[Kai] "very strong painkillers."
[Man] "you're fucking crazy..!"
[Kai] "*tilts head slightly* what's your point?"

The two men hadn't realised, but an auburn haired girl and a tall blonde man had just appeared at the scene.

[Sara] "Kai?"

The two looked towards the voice with the man holding a knife getting a bright idea as an evil smirk crossed his face. He began running towards the pair. Kai, noticing this, chased after him immediately and, thanks to the painkillers, adrenaline and a naturally high pain tolerance, he was able to catch up to the man, tackling him to the ground and knocking his head on the stone pavement, killing him. This didn't come without a consequence however, as the mans knife was now firmly planted in the centre of Kai's chest. The wounds were starting to effect him as Kai began to breath heavily and blood escaped from everywhere on his body.

[Man 3] "fuckers..."

The man who had his shoulder broken earlier had his knife in his other hand and charged towards the 3, aiming for Sara. Arthur jumped in front of her but it was without reason as Kai used the last of his strength to push himself from the ground, spin around, and use the force of the spin to completely decimate the mans face with the steel pipe and send him flying back a few feet in the process before Kai finally collapsed, barely breathing.

[Sara] "k-Kai..."
[Arthur] "Sara, go call for an ambulance! I'll stay here in case there are more of those guys!"
[Sara] "eh!? R-right!"

Sara ran out of the alley in a panic.

[Kai] "*thoughts* don't...go..."
[Arthur] "*Sigh* do you have any idea what you've done asshole?"
[Kai] "*thoughts* what...?"
[Arthur] "if everything had gone well, you'd get injured or die back there and I'd be the hero who'd protect her. Galliantly rescuing her from the knife wielding maniac!"
[Kai] "*Thoughts* the fuck...?"
[Arthur] "do you have any idea how long it's gonna take for that bitch to forget about you now!? You saved her life and died in the process, how's anyone supposed to outdo that you piece of shit! *kicks Kai in the side*"
[Kai] "*Thoughts* serves you right... asshole."
[Arthur] "you better hope I don't see you in the next life or I'll fucking kill you myself!"
[Kai] "get... fucked."

Arthurs' face twisted in anger at Kais' dying words. He walked over to the body of the last man, bent over and picked up the small knife before turning to face Kai.

[Arthur] "you know what. Forget about the next world. I'll just finish you off now."

With those last words, Arthur stabbed the knife into Kai's neck, causing him to choke on blood and Kai's world faded to black.

...
.....
........
[???] "poor child destined to die. I've been watching from afar, from within and without, you've not had the most fortunate life."
[Kai] "no shit."
[???] "would you like another chance?"
[Kai] "what?"
[???] "a new world with power greater than anything you can imagine. Will you take it?"

At the strange disembodied voice that sounded neither male nor females proposition, a recent memory flashed through Kai's head.

[Arthur] "you better hope I don't see you in the next life or I'll fucking kill you myself!"

A spine chilling grin reared its ugly head on Kai's face.

[Kai] "I'll take it."

During that short time, something in Kai's mind had broken, snapped, he decided that he would do whatever was necessary to survive in whatever new world he found himself in, and would even pray for the moment he could put his hands around Arthur's neck in the next life.

[???] "my name... would be much to difficult for you to understand, so simply refer to me as the rest of your people do. As God. become my entertainment and bring peace or destruction to the world."
[Kai] "Sorry, I don't believe in God."

The voice seems to chuckle for a moment as the whole world seemed to shake.

[???] "Then just call me Entity. Is that better?"
[Kai] "I suppose."
[Entity] "Then, back to the business at hand. What have you decided?"
[Kai] "I get to choose?"
[Entity] "would you listen if you didn't?"
[Kai] "haha, nope, I'll do whatever the hell I want."
[Entity] "the next world shall become a rather interesting place then."

As the disembodied, androgynous voice now known as Entity said it's last words, the black area turned white and Kai felt a strange, warm yet cold, peaceful yet chaotic feeling enter his body. Finally, he opened his eyes.
