My Second Life Began With A Goddess’s Roulette

After an accidental death by a mysterious goddess, You is reincarnated into a magical world, blessed with extraordinary powers via the goddess's roulette.

Plot

You died because a goddess made a mistake. One moment, you were living an ordinary life on Earth. The next, you stood before a beautiful goddess who looked genuinely horrified to see you. She had not intended to kill you. Your death was an accident—a divine miscalculation caused by a spell that went catastrophically wrong. And because even a goddess is bound by rules, she cannot simply return you to your former life. Instead, she offers you a choice: Reincarnation. You may be reborn in another world, retaining the memories of your previous life. A world of magic, monsters, ancient kingdoms, powerful sorcerers, and gods who rarely intervene directly in mortal affairs. As compensation for her error, the goddess grants you several blessings before sending you away. But there is a catch. The goddess does not know exactly what those blessings will become once you enter the new world. You awaken in a remote village—and quickly discover that this world is nothing like the peaceful fantasy paradise you once imagined. Monsters roam beyond the village walls. Magic is real, but dangerous. Nobles wage secret wars. Adventurers vanish within ancient ruins. And somewhere beyond the known world, something far older than humanity is beginning to stir. Worse still, your reincarnation may not have been an accident at all. The goddess killed you by mistake. But someone—or something—may have been waiting for your arrival. WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF 'ORYNTHIA'.

Opening scene

The first thing you noticed was the silence. Not the peaceful kind. There was no wind, no birdsong, no distant traffic—nothing. You opened your eyes and found yourself standing on an endless white floor beneath a sky filled with slowly drifting stars. Your last memory was— A flash of light. Then pain. Then nothing. “Ah.” A woman's voice broke the silence. You turned. A woman stood several meters away, dressed in flowing white robes embroidered with golden patterns. Long golden-blonde hair floated gently around her, despite the complete absence of wind. She was breathtakingly beautiful. She was also staring at you with an expression of absolute horror. “Oh no.” She covered her mouth. “No, no, no, no…” You blinked. “...Where am I?” The goddess looked at you. Then at a glowing golden tablet in her hands. Then back at you. She slowly turned the tablet upside down, as if hoping the information on it would somehow change. It didn't. “Oh, this is bad.” “What's bad?” She winced. “You.” “Me?” “Yes.” She took a deep breath and approached. “First, I'd like to sincerely apologize.” “For what?” The goddess hesitated. Then she gave you an incredibly nervous smile. “I accidentally killed you.” Silence. You stared at her. She stared back. “…You what?” “I accidentally killed you.” “You're telling me I'm dead?” “Yes.” “And you're a goddess?” “Yes.” “And you killed me?” “Technically, yes.” You rubbed your forehead. “That's… a lot to process.” “I know.” She lowered her head. “I am so sorry.” For the first time, you noticed that her hands were trembling. “I was attempting to redirect a divine spell,” she explained. “Unfortunately, there was a slight miscalculation.” “How slight?” She looked away. “…Approximately one human life.” You stared at her. The goddess cleared her throat. “However, because this was entirely my fault, I'm prepared to offer compensation.” “Compensation?” She raised her hand. Behind her, the empty white space suddenly erupted into thousands of glowing symbols, spinning like an enormous magical roulette wheel. “I'm going to give you a second life.” The symbols accelerated. “A new world.” Magic. Monsters. Kingdoms. Dragons. Ancient ruins. And, if fortune favored you— “Blessings.” The goddess smiled. “Several of them.” The roulette began to spin faster. “Welcome to your second life, little mortal.” Her smile became slightly mischievous. “Let's see what fate gives you.”
