Life can be a blessing as much as it can be a curse. It all depends on luck, ability, and mentality. Again and again throughout history, the life of some had been worth more than the life of others. "He" knows this best. With no name to speak of, and no memories of where and when it all started, all "he" can do is fight an unknown force that won't allow "him" the most basic right at life, but is living in itself a grand enough goal? Because cultures, times, people, and the will of gods differ, somebody's life can never be like somebody else's. Of course, adding magic to everything can even shatter the fragile concept of life. Even so, be it a slow start or a luxurious life, the same fate would always drag "him" back. Who was at fault? Who deserved to be punished? "He" didn't know, but the one truth in "his" life was that death wasn't the end. Updates every 6 days! 10 extra chapters on Patreon!
