It is Spring in May, a hard-working woman named Jessica is working on her usual project for her company. Just stuffs related to financial management. Jessica's talent is mediocre, she does work hard but she never gets the spotlight she wanted. The competition is very fierce in the company. Everyone with higher positions are earning many wages, while recruits are doing their best to appeal to their seniors.
The way to get promoted is through recommendation from a senior officer, who will vouch for the person's skills and pass the test. Jessica works hard but not smart. She does the job that sometimes passed on her for other's convenience. She never gets noticed because of her average look. But that means she get along with the younger recruits and teaching them the ropes.
For a while, Jessica didn't get a wink yesterday because of the paper works she needed to fill. Her eye bags are dark, her lips are dried, her fingers are sometimes twitching. More paper works are needed to be done, so Jessica did her best to complete them. Nobody noticed how tired Jessica was working.
Until evening came, Jessica slowly closed her eyes and lay her head on top of her desk. Everyone noticed her. One considerate co-worker puts a warm blanket over her. But unbeknownst to them, Jessica's slumber is forever. Her sleep turned out to be her lost.
Caused of death: Cardiac Arrest. Her heart stopped moving from high blood pressure. Jessica didn't even have the chance to say goodbye. Her death was too sudden. But for the past 5 years, Jessica felt very relaxed. Such a shame though. There are many people who Jessica loved, especially her family. At least she is smart enough to pay premium for life insurance so that her youngest sibling can have their tuition for their dream school.
A white space, with no walls nor roof, no skies nor living beings, but has floor. A ball of light is floating around aimlessly. "Oh. I just died just like that." said it, knowing what happened itself. "Now, what am I gonna do?" asked it, wondering.
"Fear not. I have come to meet you." said by a benevolent voice. The ball of light shifted their attention towards the source of the voice. It came from a golden man wearing white robe and has a floating golden ring behind their back. "You may know me as God. You my child, have met such undesirable death." said God with pity.
The ball of light is confused. "Am I in heaven?" asked it doubtfully. "You could say that, dear Jessica." said God. Jessica is further surprised. She doesn't have anything to say at the moment.
"I understand that it is unfair for you to meet your end like that. I have a proposal for you that you will want." said God with a smile. Jessica is skeptical but also intrigued of what God will say. "I can grant you any wish you want, be it reincarnation to other worlds with powerful abilities or live in a happy family." said God.
Jessica's glow gets brighter. Her voice tone is happy. "Really? Anything I want?" asked Jessica excitedly. "Of course, my dear. You have my word." said God. Jessica is very happy. But now, she needs to think carefully.
There is something that Jessica truly desires since her childhood. She is the most happy person if she had hands on it. The ability to wield magic. "I want to be a Mage." said Jessica. "Are you sure, my dear?" asked God to make sure. Jessica floats up and down, a sign of agreement.
"Very well, I shall provide you with a system that will help you become the strongest mage in history. The world you will be in is a world full of magic and fantasy, where many kingdoms are built. I, God Rher, shall grant your wish." said God Rher, raising up their hand to chest level, and chants the magic word. The ring behind them begins to spin and the aura glows brightly yellow.
Jessica can feel the magic. She is very excited. But when she remembered her family, she felt melancholic. She wished them a good life without her, and hope that her siblings can be what they want to be. The aura slowly envelops her, slowly dragging her to another world.
God Rher is pleased. But a red warning suddenly occured. They are surprised and panicking. "What is happening?!" shouted God Rher confused. A screen is displayed in front of them to see. The text read, "Warning! System Failure!" God Rher had a bad feeling about this. "Forgive me, dear Jessica." said God Rher sadly.
Jessica is very excited for her new journey for another world. She wonders what will be there. Dungeons and Dragons? Knights and Demons? Magic Academy? Jessica meets a young lady on her way. A wandering young lady with lifeless eyes. "Wha? Who are you?" asked Jessica to the young lady.
She doesn't respond. Jessica observed the young lady. Her outfit reminds her the one that Chinese people used to wear back in days. Something like Hanfu. The young lady has a porcelain like skin, red lips, brown hair, dark blue eyes, and sharp nose. She appears to be 15 years old. Jessica felt a familiarity with this young lady as she gets closer. Almost like they are meant for each other.
The young lady looks up to Jessica. "I want to be free, like an eagle soaring through the sky." said the young lady. Jessica is happy to hear that. "Please take my hand." pleaded the young lady. Jessica is flustered. She doesn't have any hands at the moment. Yet she still tried.
A hand made of light slowly appeared in the air. Jessica begins to hold the young lady's cold hand. The warmth is transfered to her body. Her lifeless eyes begins to brighten. "Thank you." said the young lady with a sad smile. The light slowly enveloped the surroundings. Jessica will begin her next life, feeling both excited and nervous.
