In a faraway place from the world that Zaya resided in the reincarnation warden watched on.
His job was to ensure that her new life was peaceful and that she didn't negatively affect the world in which she went to.
This rule applied to all soul that the reincarnation warden controlled. However, there are always those souls that go against the world they are reincarnated to.
This is because they could not get over their trauma or failure in their previous life, and instead of letting it go and restarting, they would take revenge on the residents of the new world.
In another world there was a young man who had been reincarnated by the reincarnation warden. This young man had been in debt his whole life because of his father's gambling addiction.
He had suffered humiliation and bullying because of the tattered clothes and lack of money through his whole schooling career.
He ended up having to drop out of school before he could finish because his father was so far in debt that the loan sharks he had been boring from came, they took what little wealth they had left.
The banks came next and took their car and home, but they were still in debt. The young man's mother ended up dying from the stress and his father tried to run away from his debts.
However, the loan sharks found him before he could run away and he was found dead by police in a ditch, outside of town.
The loan sharks forced the father's debt onto the young man, and he had no other choice but to work two jobs.
He couldn't get anything high paying as he had little education, so he worked in hard labour workplaces and factories.
The pay was little, but it got him by and he was slowly paying the debt of to the loan sharks, while barely eating and sleeping.
One day, during his construction job, he collapsed from exhaustion and the paramedics wear called to the scene, but they were too late.
His lack of food and water in his system, plus the lack of sleep, put too much strain on his heart and caused a heart attack.
As the young man lay, taking his last breath, the reincarnation warden appeared to take him away and give him another chance at life.
The young man took the opportunity and after waking up in a new world, he was in a comfortable and stable family, that gave him the love and attention that he needed.
However, deep in his heart lay the resentment he had for his father, the bank and the loan sharks that had taken his life from him.
The resentment slowly boiled in his heart, and even with all the love from his new parents, he still felt rage.
He parents ended dead one day. They had been murdered, but the soldiers of the kingdom couldn't find the murderer.
The young man took the wealth he had inherited from his now deceased parents and created a business.
He didn't want to be the only won who suffered. In his mind it was best if everything felt the same pain and humiliation that he felt.
He hired thugs and gangsters from the slums and made his own loan shark business. The soldiers couldn't do anything against him, even when people beg and pleaded with them, because there was no law against it.
The young man grew his small loan shark business into a large, organised crime operation.
He borrowed money to those who were struggling and took it back with extreme interest rates and short payment schedules.
Those who didn't pay, would be beat up and sometimes killed to make an example to everyone else.
He didn't see anything wrong with his actions as he was just doing the same thing that had happened to him and had already killed to make his business.
He had taken full control of the city he stayed in and there was no one who could stop him. As he was drinking in his house a bright light appeared.
The light revealed a figure. The reincarnation stood before him as he had all those years ago.
"It's been a while. I must say thank you for bringing me to this place. Without you I never would have been able to live in such comfort and with so much money", the young man said, while gesturing to the golden items lying around him.
"But how you got that wealth is the issue. I brought you here to give you a second chance and what do you do but throw it away", the reincarnation warden said.
"Throw it away. I threw nothing away. Instead, I took that chance you gave me and took control of my life. Now no one can belittle or ridicule for being poor or having a gambling addicted father that just ruins the family", the young man shouted, throwing his bottle of alcohol to the ground and shattering it.
"That may be true, but at what cost. Look around you, you have no one. All you have done is repeat the cycle and taken from others."
The young man scoffed, "I don't give a damn about the cycle. It's my turn now to have it in my favour. They are just unlucky like I was. They should all feel the same things that I had to feel and endure."
"Unfortunately, that is your mistake. You weren't supposed to repeat the cycle but walk away from it and live a new life. But here you are a murderer and the same as those that worked you to death", replied the reincarnation warden.
"What do you mean mistake. I have made no mistakes, I have just made the world equal. I have made the suffering of the few a reality for the many. There is nothing wrong with that", the young man retorted
The reincarnation warden raised his staff, "Enough of your senseless chatter. It's time to end this tyranny of yours and return this land to the way it was supposed to be."
"No", shouted the young man as he dove at the reincarnation warden. The staff hit the ground with a thud and time froze.
The young man was suspended midair, as he had tried to tackle the reincarnation warden while reaching for the knife strapped behind his back.
He walked over to the frozen young man and raised his hand over the young man's head. He began chanting, "Return this soul to its rest. May you wash it of it sins and of its trauma and return it to peace."
The staff glowed red and the young man's body disintegrated into to dust and floated away. The reincarnation warden tapped his staff and returned to his place through the portal in front of him.
Time returned to normal in the young man's new world. His business grumbled without him as he didn't trust anyone with his money, so he had hidden it away.
The soldiers then seized his headquarters and captured all the gangsters and thugs involved in the murders and assaults in the city.
The citizens were relieved of their debts, and any belongings were returned to the families of the deceased debtors.
The reincarnation looked at the scenes unfold from his unknown space and looked for the book related to that world.
He grabbed the book of the world that the young man was from and set it ablaze. As the book turned to ashes he said, "Another failure", before walking through the continuous bookshelves.
