Description

The story follows an anonymous protagonist who, after dying in a car crash, meets a being who reveals that he has been reincarnated countless times across all of human history. The being explains that all human beings, past, present, and future, are actually incarnations of the same single soul – the protagonist. This revelation implies that every act of kindness or harm done to another was, in essence, done to oneself. The entire universe was created as an "egg" for this soul, and once it has experienced every human life, it will be born as a god, understanding the profound interconnectedness of all existence.
