Volume 1: Prologue Part 2: No Regrets Part 2
These words always came out whenever he met with his parents. They were the reason why he loved cooking.
Luis was a Chinese-Japanese American. He had always watched his mother cook, and his eyes sparkled in amazement. Although, it was nothing compared to how his mother looked. Her eyes were ablaze, full of passion as she cooked. That passion was passed down to Luis.
His mother was the spark for his love of cooking. His father was the one who made that spark burn even brighter.
His father was a businessman. He brought Luis all over the world when he had work. They would go to restaurants, trying all the dishes there. Luis couldn’t believe how delicious it was. That was why he wanted to try and cook!
When he cooked for his dad and mom for the first time,
“Luis? Is your dream to be a chef?”
“Mmhmm, Mmhmm!” Luis nodded his head. That caused his parents to laugh. His father told him,
“Then become the best chef in the world!”
“Yeah! I will make the best food so I can make you smile every day!” That was Luis’s goal.
Those days were something he could never forget. However, there was another day he couldn’t forget. His parents went on a business trip. A once pleasant trip had become a nightmare. It was a regular day for Luis when he heard about his parent’s death.
Luis’s happy life was shattered like that.
Yet, he couldn’t forget about it. That promise he made with his parents that day. The promise to become the best chef in the world. And that was what he became.
Luis continued to talk a bit more about his days. After a while, he stared at his watch, “Oh, look at the time. I have to return to work.” He got up from the ground,
“Don’t worry about anything, Dad. I won’t have a swell head after earning this medal.”
“Mom, you don’t have to worry about me. I will eat well and sleep well.”
Luis could imagine the two nagging him about being safe and not being cocky. A small chuckle came from his lips as he walked away.
As he drove down from the mountain,
“Huh?!” There was a deer on the road! Luis quickly swiveled, trying not to hit it. In that split second, he had forgotten where he was! Luis’s car went flying off the road!
Luis tried his best to brace for impact, but he blacked out from all the violent shaking. It was only a few minutes before Luis woke up. From how his vision was flipped upside-down, he realized the car was flipped over.
“Ngh,” He tried to move his body, but he felt nothing. He couldn’t feel his body. Glancing around, he remembered where he was; a deserted mountain.
No one was going to come and save him.
His blood slowly dripped from his body. A few minutes was enough time as Luis’s eyes went cold.
“Huh? Where am I?” Luis blinked a few times as he looked around. White. There was only white around him. He looked down at his body, which was uninjured.
This was a surprise.
He was supposed to be in his car and dead. As he thought about where he was, Luis turned around to see he wasn’t alone.
There was another person.
“Umm, what are you doing?” The first question that should have come out of Luis’s mouth was to ask who this person was. But he couldn’t ask that. What this person was doing was inconceivable.
This person was on his knees, bowing his head.
“I’m so sorry!”
The person screamed out. Luis quickly waved his hand, “Please don’t apologize. I don’t even know why you need to do this.” He was so bewildered. Why was this man apologizing to him?
“Please get up first.”
“Okay.” The person got up, and once Luis saw his face, he was shocked by his appearance. So handsome! Crystal white hair like snow. His eyes shined a yellowish-green like a pair of jewels.
He was the definition of what a handsome man should look like.
“Are you god?” Luis couldn’t help but ask.
“How did you know?!” The man blinked; surprised Luis would guess correctly.
“You’re beautiful, wearing something unordinary, and I’m in a white space. If you aren’t, then I’m a monkey.” Luis listed off. That caused the guy to cough in embarrassment.
But then he said with a smile, “I should introduce myself! I’m the god of creation, Kreye!”
“Ahh.” It confirmed Luis’s thought, “So, I’m dead, right, Mr. Kreye?”
“Yes.” Again, Kreye slammed his head onto the ground, “I’m so sorry! It was a mistake on my part!”
“Hmm?”
“I was the deer.”
“Huh?!”
“You weren’t supposed to die today. But when I arrived in your world, I was on the road. I didn’t realize a person would be there!”
“...” Luis went silent for a moment, “I see. Please raise your head.”
“Eh?” An indescribable expression appeared on Kreye’s face.
“What’s wrong?”
“I thought you would be angrier. I thought you would grab me by the shoulders, shouting, “Why did you kill me!” or something along the lines.” Kreye was even ready to get hit in the face because of his mistake.
“It’s okay. I’ve accepted it.” Luis never had the intention of punching or hitting Kreye. However, a thought came to his mind, “Wait, can you send me back?”
“No.”
“Then there’s no point in getting angry about it.” Even if Luis got angry, there was no point. He was dead, and Kreye couldn’t do anything about it. Getting angry would be a waste of energy.
“But don’t you have any regrets?” Kreye asked.
Luis shook his head, “I have no regrets. I’ve done all I wanted in my life. I worked hard.” After his parent’s death, he understood life was short. That was why he prepared a will early on in his life.
His money would be donated to orphanages, while his restaurants would be handed down to his students. He knew they would handle his restaurants with the utmost perfection.
Luis had absolute faith in them.
“I’ve done everything I wanted. That’s why I don’t have any regrets.” Luis smiled. It was a fulfilling life. He helped many people and achieved his dream.
“...” Kreye had nothing to say. Luis asked, “Umm. Mr. Kreye.”
“Please call me Kreye.”
“Okay.” Luis nodded, “What’s going to happen to me?”
“Hmm?”
“I’m dead now. Am I going to reincarnate into a different person? Or is there an afterlife?” He was unsure what was going to happen to him.
“Ahh.” Kreye realized as he explained, “Usually, you would have been judged by the number of good and bad deeds you’ve done in this life. That decides whether you reincarnate or have your soul destroyed.”
“Usually?”
Kreye nodded, “That’s because I made a mistake. You would have gone through the normal process. But I discussed it with your goddess and asked if you could reincarnate into my world.”
“Your world?”
Kreye explained, “There are multiple worlds. I wanted to reincarnate you into mine. As an added bonus, I will let you keep your memories. I will also give you some interesting benefits.”
“There’s no need for you to do this.” There was no need for Kreye to do this. He was a god.
Kreye smiled, “I’ve seen your record. You’re a kind soul that shouldn’t have been killed. That’s why I want to reincarnate you into my world.”
“I see.”
“Also, if you don’t want to. I will accept your answer. Your goddess will reincarnate you again.”
“Hmm.” Luis thought about it. But then he asked, “Can I ask what your world is?”
“My world would be considered a fantasy world to Earth. It’s filled with fantasy creatures, magic, and nobles.”
“I see.” Luis nodded, “Alright, I want to be reincarnated into your world!”
“Really?”
“Mmhmm.” Luis would be lying if he said he wasn’t interested. A fantasy world. What kinds of dishes would he create if he went there?!
Kreye’s face brightened as he clapped his hands, “Thank you so much! I will reincarnate you into a great family. Also, I want to mention one thing. I will be fusing your soul and the child’s soul together. That would cause you to regress a bit.”
“Wait. Will I not remember this?”
Kreye shook his head, “No. You will remember all of this. But some things will regress.”
“Understood.” Kreye moved his hands in front of Luis. Luis’s body glowed as it slowly vanished.
“Good luck, and have a great life!” Kreye shouted.
Luis nodded, “See you later, Kreye! !”
Once Luis disappeared, Kreye sighed deeply, “Thank goodness!”
