"I have finally done it... I can't believe that I did!!"
The young man said as he went towards the city council, kowing they had finalized the design of his drivers licence. It was a dark and moody day, with rain and heavy wind which could sweep him off his feet. The young man didn't care, for he knew...
What he was about to pick up would forever chance his life...
Having waited for hours in his jacket drenched in rain, finally his turn came as they called out his name.
"Sir Reighn please walk towards counter G7"
Happily he jumped up and walked towards the counter. A lady with piercing blue eyes and short brown hair, all dressed in black awaited him with a smile.
"Good day to you sir, as for regulation we would like to check your ID before continuing the order."
Jonathan nodded and reached for his back next to him, quickly finding his ID and handing it to the lady.
She had to take it through a machine and while she did, began typing on her computer. The machine finished its routine check up and opened up allowing the lady to give back Jonathans ID.
"I see you finally made it this far Sir Reighn?"
Johnathan looked up, the fact that the lady made some small talk surprised him.
"Oh... yes... I can't wait to pick up my first car too!"
The lady saw that he was excited while a bit nervous at the same time.
"These are always exciting times, let me tell you as much. But at the same time your nerves are for good reason as you're finally going out alone into the world, done you?"
She teased him with a smile handing him the paperwork he needed to fill in. A bit annoyed about her remarks he wanted to snap at her, but instead realized quickly that it was a little harmless teasing.
After finishing the paperwork john handed it over as the exchange allowed him to obtain his licence.
Overjoyed he walked outside and put his fist into the air. Quickly he called his mom to tell her the good news as then had to head over to the bus stop, hopefully for the last time.
Serveral days later he went to a secondhand cars dealer with his mother as a graduation gift.
There were a lot of choises to be made, but the one who looked the part the most was a white volkswagen golf. The state it was in, in his eyes was perfect.
Jonathan walked up to the salesman and pointed towards the car.
"Tell me, this one is for sale right? But more importantly can I drive it home immidiately after buying?"
Johnathan said unable to contain his excitement as he tried to act all cool at the same time.
The salesman laughed.
"Sir it seems you have a good eye for this,
yes all cars come filled for a 100 kilometer radius drive."
Johnathan nodded as he opened the door and checked the interior of the car.
"Then we have a deal."
He said handing over the money.
The salesman habded over the key, as well as all the papers needed to drive. And congratulated him with his first car.
Johnathan started it up, taking in the sounds of the engine. After a while he calmed down a bit and drove off towards home, with his mother tailing him there.
Nothing could make this young man happier right now... serveral months later he had finally accumulated enough experience to drive with confidence. Wanting to experience some more he challenge himself during a dark evening in winter.
It was raining, the roads were slippery, but he sat there dry in his car, taking in everything the road could offer him.
But something was a miss, what he was experiencing made him look back to when he was a small boy...
About the time he still lived with his dad,
dowing whatever god forbid.
Or at least, what his father forbid him to do...
This however didn't keep him from going against his fathers word, occationally unleashing the iron fist upon his face. There was even a time where he had stolen off terain vehicle and drove off into the distance...
Even tho his dad warned him he lost control over the vehicle and crashed headfirst into the barn, hurting his head in the process.
To this day he blamed his dad for not taking him of the vehicle and preventing the entire thing from happening, then again... he was still here and he couldn't say the same thing for his dad...
At that same moment Johnathan lost control over his steeringwheel and launched towards the wrong side of the road. Vehicles launched past him at great speeds as he tried to reclaim control of the car.
But it was to late... as he crashed headfirst into a tree at the side of the road, others saw this happening and wanted to call 112, but in doing so created a chain reaction of cars crashing into each other.
By the time the ambulancr arrived it had already been to late, as the poor Jonathan Reighn was no more...
"Something is wrong... something is definitely wrong here... why am I there laying in the car while I am also way above my own body? This can't be right... then..."
Before Jonathan could finish his sentence everything within his vision became white. As if... this was the light at the end of the tunnel.
But then, suddenly he found himself inside a room, a room which made him think about a scene similar to the matrix, where someone was observing their every move... only here...
He wasn't alone...
It appeared there were others like him.
"S-so you must have all died, like me?"
He asked, as no one reacted to him.
Soon after a godlike figure looking like a glowing silhouette appeared in front of everyone.
Soon after the silhouette appeared to give itself human form, hoping not to alarm the others.
Johnathan couldn't believe what was happening and quietely sat in the corner of the room.
When the entity began to speak.
"H-hello everyone, can everyone hear me?"
He looked around to see everyone within the room looking at him either frightened or confused.
"You must all be confused, but fear not! For the gods have decided to give you all another chance.
You see, There are more of us, and we didn't really know who to sent or what to do, so we decided this by chance."
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Mars, here to give you all another chance. For you see, there is a world beyond yours, a world who is in need of heroes.
A world so full of raw energy, calamity and destruction that it is in need of saving. Us gods are not allowed to intervene directly, but we are allowed to bestow those who had an uneventful and unlucky life with powers to fulfill their potential!"
Jonathan couldn't believe what he was hearing,
a god who kept flexing about how infinitely better he was... willing to give them another chance? What was that about?
Mara continued as he called everyone to gather around him.
"Everyone, the choise is yours, be reborn as a hero, gaining the chance to accent to godhood like me or to just turn into space dust."
Everyone quickly jumped up hoping for a better chance in life. Looking closer, the group was quite large having serveral young man and woman.
"Okay then, now that everyone is gathered around, I'll begin granting each of you special powers. If you like I can make it so that you'll hold on to your talents in your previous life too."
He called all of us by name, when finally a familiar name was called.
"Johnathan Wisingar!
I will grand you the power to become the leader of those Reincarnated together, gaining the ability to master anything magic based."
As the last boy was send off to the world. Mars scratched his head.Â
"The list said there were 16 in total, but there were only 15... hmm was it a good idea to bestow two powers onto the last man?"
Jonathan tried to get the gods attention but even he didn't see him standing... he couldn't hold it in anymore as he grabbed the gods shoulder in furstration.
"Did I hear you right... did you just give that bastard the powers whom had been meant for me as well?!"
Shocked Mars turned around and shrugged it off like it was nothing...
"Oh well... nothing we can do about it now, can we? Shall I sent you on to the afterlife then?"
Jonathan couldn't believe his ears...
Was this bastard mocking him?Â
"You what? Huh? No... I want another chance at life, like them... apparently I was on the list they gave you... you just did a horrible job..."
"Okay, okay... because I have to clean this mess up I'll grant you something else... but I can't give you the regenerative powers who were meant for you anymore, instead... the only thing I have left is and excessive amount of magical energy. Maybe that might spark something in you, wouldn't it?"
Furious about it all Johnathan wanted to smack the bastard... but decided it was best to accept this final offer as it was better than moving on, right?
"Hmm... then make it quick, the others can't get to big of an headstart, right?"
Mars smiled as a large orb formed in his hand.
He took few steps back only to launch towards Jonathan and slammed it into him with so much force that he crashed into the wall at the other side.
But when he wanted to get up and smack the god he quickly awoke in his new body, the body of a young boy.
