He died.

He died an unfair death.

He died an unfair death and he knows it, he has been mourning it since he was born again, or you could say, reincarnated.

Right now he's living in an orphanage, he remembers since he was a baby, and that shock is still with him, adding to the shock of having died.

How did he die?

A home invasion, his uncle living next door was in bad places, befriending dangerous people, he tried to escape that life, but every year they would come back to punch him, shoot him, and almost kill him. Until they got tired of his uncle not giving them the respect they deserve, and that day, not only they broke into his house, since both houses were connected by a patio, they decided to go for the rest of the family, to send a message, even if they did not have anything to do with what their relative was doing, just because their houses were connected, and the whole reason for that, her grandma wanted to unite the family and make them care for each other having the houses connected. 

Truly a horrible fate for such a good hearted feeling.

They broke in, killed his uncle and his uncle's family, then they broke in to his house, killed his cousin, sister, brother, mother, pets until he was the only one left, one swift motion with a hammer to the head.

Everything was revolving around his head, wondering what did he do to deserve such a fate, he couldn't do anything, just living in the wrong place, being at the wrong time, tears couldn't stop falling from his face while they kept hitting him, stabbing him, all of this while he asked for forgiveness.

Until they shoot him.

And there was no more.

He wanted to scream, to punch, to hit, to kill, to get revenge on the people who did this to him and his family.

One would think it was the people who broke in, but the real culprit... his uncle and his uncle's family, if only they weren't alive, if only they left him and his family alone, none of this would've happened.

Wandering in an unknown place thinking it might be hell, heaven or something else, he wasn't a firm believer, but that didn't mean he wasn't expecting something after death, and that something was meeting his grandpa, he didn't want to think that there was nothing after death, and this proves it, he just didn't know what "this" is.

He continued to wander until a light reached to him, and that light, was from a light bulb.

It took him a while to come to terms with what happened.

Reincarnation exists, while he used to read novels and manga about such things, they were just to distract his mind from real life, not something he actually thought could be possible, of course in all of the stories he used to read the reincarnated people met a God that gave them incredible powers and they made all the girls fall for them, but he didn't met a God, he didn't get any powers and all the girls he ever sees are the matrons from the orphanage checking up on him, a bit too old for him, more like grandmas, even considering his previous life.

He still carries resentment from before, but he now knows it's impossible to extract any kind of revenge, first of all, because his uncle is dead, second of all, because the year it's closer to 1900 than 2000s, in his first life he was born in 1996, so, either he went back to the past or it's another world, just like the stories he read, but just as normal as his first world, not one of fantasy.

One thing for sure is that he hates being a baby, unable to hold his instincts, crying all day, shitting himself all day, being hungry and sleepy all day, not being able to move as he wants, all this while being conscious of what's happening around him, if this isn't torture he doesn't know what else could be, maybe this is why when people are babies and small children they don't remember anything, people would be scarred for life.

One thing he doesn't remember is his parents, his first memory is seeing a yellow light bulb and the matrons with other orphanage workers, how does he know its an orphanage? The deplorable state of the building, and how there are children running about looking through the door.

Whether it's for the best or worse, he is the only baby in the orphanage, so at least the baby formula it's all for him and he doesn't go hungry, that one thing will change in the future for sure, since he can see the other small children when they come into the room, most of them are skinny and you can see their bones protruding a bit.

So, he set himself a new goal.

"I'll live my life detached from people, and live to the fullest, first thing first, growing up, study hard, and get out of the orphanage".

He thought, raising his baby arm in the air with a look of determination, not fitting for a baby, the matron just looked at him, a small chuckle left her mouth "how cute".

While Looking at him.
