Chapter 1 - Full of Regrets New Beginning

"beep beep beep" the siren keep going but it was already too late. Jak was just 23 years old when he died in a shooting between the police and some gang.

"No, I don't want to die, my life is a mess, the woman I loved broke my heart, I will never have kids, will I be just another grain of sand in the history, will I die just like this!?!? " Jak was crying silently in despair as life escaped from his body "why me GOD WHY!! I AM SO FULL OF REGRETS I HAD SUCH A USLESS LIFE WITHOUT PURPOSE, I WANT TO LIVE, I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD, I WANT TO CHANGE MY LIFE!!!!"

That was the last thing he screamed in his heart before everything went dark. Jak died full of regrets.

"DO YOU REGRET THE LIFE YOU'VE BEEN LIVING" Suddenly a voice that seemed to come from everywhere split the darkness.

"Wha... Eh.... Whaa.. What is happening" Jak was extremely confused "is this the afterlife that every one keeps talking about" Jak said half joking half serious, it was normal for him to think this way, because, on earth almost every one believes in some kind of afterlife.

"DO YOU REGRET THE LIFE YOU'VE BEEN LIVING" the voice repeated again this time it seemed more powerful than before, like it came from everywhere but also like it didn't came from anywhere, like it was right to his ear or inside his very soul but extremely far away. Jak took a look around but didn't see anything, It was an extremely huge space, at it center was a ball of light and around there were infinite amounts of smaller lights, that where so tiny, like stars it the sky.

"DO YOU REGRET THE LIFE YOU'VE BEE...." before the strange voice even had the time to finish, Jak without even giving too much thought, screamed with every single fiber of power that he could find in his body.

"YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!! I HATE MY USELESS LIFE I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT! IF I COULD, IF I JUST HAD THE POWER, I WOULD NOT ONLY CHANGE MY LIFE BUT THE WORLD!!!!!" It was something extremely strange to scream at an invisible voice in an unknown space, but Jak just didn't want to feel the same way he did when he died. "No mater what, I will never have regrets."

"GO, LIVE, MAKE A CHANGE" The strange voice said in the same imposing and hard to grasp manner, but it wasn't scary, it was like Jak was part of it, and the voice was parte of Jak, it was a strange feeling coming from his very soul.

"Wait, go? Go where, to heaven, to hell!? WHAT THE FU*K IS HAPPENI.."

Before Jak had time to finish there was a loud BANG and everything went dark.

"Mh... Mhh my body hurts so badly, and my head is about to burst" Jak just woke up in a bed with his hole body full of bandages even his eyes had some gluey substance on them.

"Did I survive that shooting" Jak thought "well that is that only explanation for that strange vision, I was probably hallucinating. But why can't I open my eyes"

Suddenly there where voices nearby, Jak could just barely hear them.

"Fu*k is that the doctor, I wake up and that idiot doesn't even come to see me, my head hurts like sh*t and I can't even open my fuck**g eyes".

Suddenly some one said "Young Master Gabriel you woke up, that's good. I will go and call the madame"

"Hmm... Who the hell is this young master Danielle, am I with some rich kid in the same room" Jak thought to himself.

Suddenly a male voice sounded "young master Gabriel I will now remove the bandages and the solution, but I will tell now that the injuries that you have sustained where extremely bad, especially your eyes that were affected by a special poison, there is a chance that even with the solution from the alchemy association you may still be blind forever"

"What the hell, alchemy association, is this some elite association only for the rich, and that Gabriel kid was poisend?! " thought Jak to himself.

Suddenly someone started to remove his bandages "what the hell, didn't they wanted to help the rich kid, did they mistook us because we are both covered in bandages" though Jak to himself. Still he didn't say anything.

After a while all the bandages where removed except for the gluey substance on his eyes.

"Young Master Gabriel I will now remove the substance from your eyes, it will hurt because it was made from intermediate rank low grade antidote pill" said the man.

"rank what...." but before he could finish Jak felt an enormous pain in his head and fainted.

"Master Arnold how is he, will Gabriel be ok?" asked a women in her early 30.

"Now we have to let him rest madame." said Arnold.

Late at night Jak woke up "god dammit that hurt like he'll, what hospital is this anyway, where is the other guy?" Jak looked around and was startled, he was in a luxurious bed like the one's monarch families used to sleep. "where am I?"

It was a beautiful room decorated with swords armors and beautifully crafted furniture, it had a weak light that came from a golden lamp.

He wanted to stand up but couldn't, his whole body was hurting. With nothing else to do he just stared at the lamp, after a while he noticed that the lamp wasn't plugged in, but the light wasn't made by burning oil, it was extremely strange.

After an unknown period of time he noticed strange lines with information coming from the lamp. "what is this?" Jak was startled it was strange, it was like he could understand that information, like he knew that the lamp wasn't working properly, after a while he started to feel tired and feel asleep.

Earlier in the morning when Jak woke up, there were two beautiful girls about 16 or 17 years old, wearing maid uniforms. When they saw him wake up they bowed respectfully and said in union.

"Good morning young master"

"Young Master? Who me?" Jak asked confused. He tried to remember hard what happened, he was shoot, he had the dream where he heard the strange voice, then woke up in this strange place where apparently he was confused with a young master. "wait a minute" suddenly he thought of something.

"Where am I, what year is it what's my name?" Jak asked the two girls.

The girls where startled at those questions, they didn't know if they should say something or not.

"Young Master do you feel ok?" one of the girls, the one who was taller asked.

"Just answer the question!!" Jak said with an aggressive tone. The girl was momentarily startled, but she still answered.

"Responding to young master, you are at the Duke Standford Castel, your father's, it's year 18002 of the holy calendar, and you are the future heir of the Standford family."

Jak eyes winded "I am actually in another world?!?! So... was that the voice of God? Ok calm down, calm down, what should I do next" but his thoughts were interrupted by the taller maid words.

"Young Master, I shall go call madame to see you and proper somethink to eat, Maria will stay with you." She pointed at the smaller girl, then left the room.
