'Where am I..?'
Roy was floating in an endless void with no sense of direction.
'Now that I remember it... my chest was hurting for a while, and... now I am here..'
It took a few minutes for him to realize what had happened.
'Wait... am..Am I dead!?'
He drifted in silence.
'So... what happens to me now?'
Then he started to question his life—was it good, was it fulfilling, was he satisfied?
'Well... it was one hell of a life: content, stress, fear of disappointment, but even with that, it was chaotic and could have been better.'
....
After an unknown amount of time, he finally saw a light breaking through the darkness.
'What... is that?'
As more time passed, Roy started moving closer to the light, and eventually, he was engulfed by it.
'Ah...'
'This hurts my eyes'
He closed his eyes.
"He is awake!"
"Look at my little king!"
'huh?'
Roy opened his eyes again. He tried to look around and move, but he couldn't.
A beautiful woman was holding him tightly. Her long blonde hair was stuck to her face with sweat, and her brown eyes were fixed on him.
"Welcome home, son," she said with a wide smile.
"Come on, let me also have a look."
He felt himself being lifted into the air, now in the arms of a tall man with blue eyes and brown hair. He looked mesmerizing.
'Wait, wait, wait—there's no way, right!'
He was happy to get another chance at life, but then something came up, and it smelled bad.
The man looked at him with a deadpan expression and laughed, "Really? On your old man"
He handed the boy to his mother.
"What should your name be...?"
"Ah! How about Royce Valemont?"
The man replied, "That sounds nice, let's call him that!"
Roy looked at her happy expression and felt a little sad that she wasn't really holding her own baby but another man who was in the body of her baby.
Then a faint blue screen appeared in front of him covering the mother's face.

Roy would have danced in excitement but his body didn't allow it but his heart was racing.
"Isn't it strange?"
"What?"
"He isn't crying?"
"Well I have seen a baby who doesn't cry wait give him here"
The man took the boy then pretended to drop him on the ground.
Instantly, Roy's body reacted, trembling as he was scared.
"See he is fine"
He again handed the baby back and went to wash himself.
