Chapter 0
He had lived 16 lives before this one.
He remembered them all, vividly and painfully. He had been a king and a slave, a hero and a villain, a lover and a loner. He had seen wars and wonders, joys and sorrows, births and deaths.
He had learned many lessons, but none of them seemed to matter. He was always reborn, always doomed to repeat the cycle of reincarnation.
He wondered why he was different from others. Why he could recall his past lives, while they lived in blissful ignorance. Was he cursed or blessed? Was there a purpose or a meaning to his existence?
He had searched for answers, but found none. He had prayed to gods, but heard no voice. He had sought out others like him, but met only impostors and frauds.
He was tired of living. He wanted to end it all, to break free from the wheel of fate. But he knew he couldn’t. He had tried before, many times.
He had killed himself in various ways, hoping to escape the cycle. But he always woke up in a new body, in a new time, in a new place. He was trapped, and he hated it.
Every time his loved ones dies, he feels very much pain and sorrow. But in his 15th life, he died at very early age and so he doesn’t know the pain of the family he left behind.
When he reincarnates in his 16th life, he decided to visit his previous family. But when he visited his family, he got to know that he left everyone in pain and suffer, so he decided to not attach with anyone anymore.
And he died and reborn for the 17th time and as he knows the pain and the suffering, he cuts all the attachments with his family and friends and he started to live alone in his own world. But he doesn’t know that his fate will change in this life.
