Hey guys, I'm back. If you didn't know, this is a remake of a previous written story I wrote, the link is down below.

Chapter 1: What Used to Be

Let's start at the beginning of this nightmare, my name is Dan and I'm, or should I say was, 22 years old. I'm an accountant for over seas trade, with a specialty in Eastern Asian currency. This is important for two reasons; 1) The job took so much of my time that my girlfriend got fed up and left, 2) This cause me to get involved with Japanese culture and got me invested in manga.

The day my girlfriend left I got drunk for the first time in my life, this caused a chain reaction that lead to my death. Because I got drunk I woke up late for a rather important meeting that cost me my job.

After being fired, I grabbed the manga that inspires me the most, Katekyo Hitman Reborn. When I discovered that I didn't have the last two volumes of it, I grabbed my wallet and head for the local book store. This is the time where I got hit by a car.

I don't quite remember how it happen, but I do remember I was just outside the store when it happened. The next thing I knew was that I was surrounded by darkness that was oddly warm and comfortable. After floating there for a while I heard a voice ask, "You've been through a lot, haven't you?"

To be perfectly honest I don't know why, but I wasn't scared. Even though the voice was so powerful and that I don't know where I am, I felt completely safe. As I was floating, I figured it was waiting for an answer. So I gave a nod for an answer.

"Would you like to come with me, or would you rather try your hand at life again?" Was the immediate question after my answer. This cause me to panic, I don't know if it was because I could see my life repeating itself, or if it was from just not knowing what will happen if I decide to live again.

Noticing that I wasn't answering and having a slight panicking, the voice said, "If you decide that you want another chance at life, head for the light. If you decide that you want to rest, head in the opposite direction."

With that, the voice left. I was alone with a light in front of me and the void behind me. I was just sitting there with my body being surrounded by the darknesss and my mind being taken over by the thoughts of what may happen if I choose the option to live.

While in the void, I completely lost track of time and constantly argued with myself. I can already feel myself drift backwards, as if my choice was being made for me. This is when I decided that I will risk it, and make my life how I want to.

When I decided that, I felt like I was being pushed towards the light. I started picking up speed, and after what felt like hours I was out, and I hear, "Congradulations Mr. and Mrs. Yamamoto, it's a healthy baby boy!"

So, how did you guys like this update? It's no where near as upsetting as the original, which I'm glad for, it doesn't set up such a heavy tone.

Please review and let me know what you guys thought about the story.
