"Your wish is my command, Shion... enjoy your new life."
With his few last words, he turns his sword into a cane and it hits the ground hard, causing a
huge shockwave in the place and an explosion of light hovers over my eyes... leaving me
unconscious after my last choice I made in the supposed heaven of reincarnation.
And after this explosion, I felt as if my body had been pulled into a black hole, sucking me in
and squeezing me at enormous speed... bearing in mind that this old body had been pierced
by the void of universal unknowing that not even I, addicted to reflecting, theorizing and
creating crazy analogies, could understand this nature.
The sensation of realizing that a lot of time had passed began to creep into my mind, and
soon I clearly felt that the mad titan's words seemed to make sense.
"Mother, sister... I'm finally going to rest and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe."
Or rather... rise in a different universe where I'm grateful to be.

"Rronc... Aaarhh."
The sounds that predominated in my body were of a calm where it was very difficult to wake
me up... in my past life I had always been a heavy sleeper, and it would be no different here
knowing that I would have some memories of another world.
I felt like a sleeping king, being alone and with no one to disturb me that morning, everything
was comfortable... the air conditioning that beat down on my body covered in a light cozy
sheet, everything was dark in the room and all I had to do was rest and watch the sunrise
through the window.
Well... even though I still have some personal characteristics and quirks that I had in another
life, I had a feeling that 90% of the other things had changed drastically.
"Triiiiiiiimmmmm" It wasn't a fucking cell phone ringing, it was a clock like in the old movies
that rang loudly and jumped like a frog, and it gave me such a headache that I just...
— Plaft!
I ended up slapping that clock hard, and it smashed into the wall in pieces. I think it will be
more interesting to put my cell phone on than to depend 100% on the new universe to apply
things as it wants.
"Hm..."
I felt my body was taller than usual, my hair itself was much straighter than it had been in my
old life, and when I got out of bed... it was as if I got up without any difficulty, realizing that I
had a healthy, athletic body.
I used my hands to scratch my eyes and suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards me,
with blond hair and eyes like a ruby jewel.
"Aqua?"
When I heard that name, I felt strange... Aqua? What do you mean, Aqua? Wait, this girl
calling me was my sister...
"Huh?!"
My eyes widened in surprise, I saw myself in the large mirror in front of me next to the closet
and I could clearly see my current post-reincarnation appearance.
This second chance had seen me transmigrate into the young adult body of Aqua Hoshino...
being Ruby Hoshino's older brother and the blood son of the deceased Ai Hoshino.
As I watched myself in the mirror, I realized that I was also sharing my soul with Aqua's, and
in a few hours' time... I won't be able to remember the details of my past life easily as I am
now on a grand scale.
Besides, the chances that I'll end up remembering what happened before I died are almost
zero, and I'll certainly have to live with it and build my new life rather than think about how I
ended up being killed by cancer and the details of the suffering.
"Are you all right? It's very strange to see you all freaked out like that for someone who's
normally quiet."
Ruby crouched down and slowly moved closer to my knees, placing her hands on my legs
and watching me with her bright, concerned eyes.
I conveyed a calmer tone and showed no emotional complications, as I knew that Ruby had
always been very concerned about my mental health since I had never been that present for
her... even after our mother died.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
She was dressed in pink lingerie with clear details... she'd possibly woken up a few minutes
ago and had already come straight to my room, apart from the fact that my clothes were
basic, consisting of a white T-shirt and long grayish-black shorts, we were both barefoot and
hadn't fixed our faces until now.
"Let's get ready, you can relax little Ruby."
"Huh?! Hey! When did you start being nice out of the blue?"
Ruby, surprised by my attitude, ends up grabbing my left hand to stop me from walking to
the bathroom, and my skin automatically electrocutes Ruby at a light level.
"Huh?! What's that shock?!"
Her eyes go wide, and she feels a little uncomfortable about the hand she used to grab me,
and I'm speechless as I realize this... where I quickly look at my left hand and I can't feel
anything strange flowing to cause this shock to Ruby.
"That's weird... Why did my skin hurt Ruby with a shock?"
Ruby's expression was one of internal confusion, watching me with a curious look as if she
was about to ask me something.
However, she ended up saying her last words as she approached me slowly patted me on
the back twice and walked out of my room.
"Come on, we need to get ready for the new school, Onii-chan."
"Tsck!"
A shock washed over my back, this touch, the way she touched me, and how her fingers
ended up bending and coming out from behind me, was so... familiar.
My eyes turned to Ruby walking down the corridor to the bathroom and I could only think of
one thing after that touch that brought me a mixture of nostalgia and strangeness.
"Don't tell me she's..."
