March 14th, 2022, Earth -- Do you find me insane yet? I, who was a former SDF captain, did not believe in a life after death, that the 1 life we are given is all we are given.

There is no way to describe what I feel, what I felt... Today started out the same like any other day. After the SDF, I went to college and wanted to live a normal life.

A normal office worker life, to be precise. But alas, it seems like God had different plans. The office caught on fire, from what I would think of as a heating problem, escalating to an electrical problem. From my former trade, I had learned to be calm, no matter the situation. I calmly escorted the weaker willed co-workers out of the building.

In the process, a steel beam used to hold up the building crashed down wards, right on top of the idiot who prioritized others over themself in such a precarious situation.

March 14th, 2022, Xylidin -- I am scared... my own family and "friends" torment me. Even throughout my despair, no such escape can be found. No knight in silver armor, no magic for the magicless, and no sword for the poor. After angering my own second cousin, I was beaten to death. What can be said for such a weak-willed person, such a pitiless person, such a broken person? How can one escape from all this? The answer is simple-- That is to let go of all restraints. So that's what I did, yeah, I committed suicide.

What more do you expect from me? I had to lower my head just to keep myself from being targetted for defiance. It was easier to ignore their hateful words, and their sickening smiles, smiles which could kill a defenseless person and not bat an eyelash. After death, I expected nothing. But what met me was something I would have never expected; an angel. An angel of the Most High, according to the angel themself.

After the angel introduced themself as Karael, Karael apologized. You see... a limited number of trials are placed on humanity every few generations, and normally, this is placed on a large group, or a small group of heroes respectively. The fact that it was all placed on one weak human, was something even the Gods themselves thought wouldn't occur.

The Gods were apologetic, but since I took my own life, I would not be able to reincarnate, or go onto any of the other "beaten" paths according to Karael.

But as my soul was weak from being torn so suddenly from my body, they said it would be possible to merge with another soul, specifically a soul of low fortune.

Otherwise, I was to be purged completely. No reincarnation, no purgatory, no heaven or hell, that is. Gone in a flash.

Living with another soul in the same body seemed to be the better choice, depending on the person who I am merged with. Asking the angel who I would be merged with yielded no results, other than "You will be surprised." I hate surprises, as they can quickly become either the greatest thing in your daily life, or the worst moment of your life in total.

Not one to let my feelings get the better of me, I chose to be merged with the other unfortunate soul, and be reborn into the same body as "one" person.
