I'm back again, with another one-shot!

This request is from @BatteryPackKuprum. Sorry it took so long.

This one-shot was inspired by "The Game of Life" by Hatsune Miku. I loved the "many lives" concept.

Now, enjoy!

I remember my first life very well.

It was really a boring normal life.

Back in time, I didn't know what it really was. But in that life, I knew for sure that I was a normal human. And oh boy, how boring it was. Compared to my future lives, that was a peaceful and loving.

It was the 'Temperance' life. Everything was moderate and simple; not too much, not too less. I had friends, but I had enemies. I had a successful bakery, but I wasn't rich. Everybody around my village knew each other. It was the perfect life.

On the other hand, it was too boring; too monotone and tasteless. I saw the wonderful and magical world in Liones Kingdom, and I wanted to join in. However, I didn't have any kind of magic in my veins, nor any capability for magic spells, so I had to give up.

It made me sick, everyone around me doing magic while I...was just a human begin.

But someone kept me moving.

His blonde hair and emerald eyes always brought me this warming feeling; This 'I can't give up!' feeling. It was so wonderful, made my world so colorful. It was the same order: 'seven strawberry cakes!', but even if he came every day I never asked his name.

However I didn't need a name; I fell in love at first sight, and with him, I always appreciated my normal life as a baker.

But then I discovered his name.

There I was, in the castle, watching the wedding ceremony along with many common people. There he was, with his bride, his lover, the princess; Meliodas and Elizabeth, happily ever after.

My nightmare

But I didn't jump in suicide, no. I just lived the rest of my normal life, married a normal person, and died happily as elder person.

Normal and happy; I passed to the other world.

Eyes opened when I finished that life, and realizing my mistakes, I walked in the tunnel.

My second life was amazing, I'm proud of it.

I was a brave warrior, and everybody loved me.

That life was awesome, and I remember every little detail about it. When I was born, somehow I had the memories of my first life stuck in my brain; the second me was petrified, but decided to avenge my first ordinary life.

With avenge, I mean turning into someone breathtaking; someone that would make their descendants proud, so I trained every single day to become a knight. Hand-in-hand combat, swordsman's art and strategy; with that, I could fight to protect my ideals.

A little voice in my conscience told me that was the 'Diligence' life. It told me about my first life too. Weird, I've some curse?

With my endeavor, I became a knight, and I was so proud of myself...

...that I didn't realize he was a knight too.

My head was throbbing memories; each pump gave me a nasty reminder of my first life's past. That broken baker and her sorrow, her painful expression in the wedding, her elder form lying in a bed waiting for death...

With those memories, I tried to stay away from him. Keep telling myself about what happened to me in first time. Restraining my feelings, so I could live the so dreamed happily ever after.

I...I tried.

But his smile, his kindness, his personality...himself. I couldn't help myself but fall. Fall deep in this one-sided love. I was so lost...but hey, at least we were best friends in that life. Well, I was best friends with everyone within the kingdom.

I remember every detail... especially how I died. It was in the battlefield. We were losing against the rival kingdom's army. One by one, my friends and comrades met death, and it didn't last longer for me too.

Blood dripped from my wounds, my armor was destroyed and I was lying in the floor, facing the cloudy sky. I could still hear battle cries, swords clashing, and my heart thump...

It was a sad death.

However, my death wasn't slow. Minutes after my defeat, a woman appeared. Her silver hair and blue eyes reminded me of someone. Someone that, in my second life, I didn't remembered. She looked so innocent...so pure. That thought vanished in a second, because the last thing I saw in my second life, was a sick grin on her face as she raised her sword...

The tunnel was still there, I didn't understand, wasn't my second life enough? I walked in, again.

My third life was noble.

I had a crown in my head when I was born.

In my third life, I had to admit that I was confused. Why I was reborn again? I had achieved my life goals in the second one, right? That wasn't enough? Those questions gave me a headache for a long time.

And then, I realized where I was born: a castle; with a royal family within a kingdom. I was a princess, just like Elizabeth. I had to admit, it was the life I enjoyed at most. The royal balls, the dresses, the banquets and the fact I didn't had to worry with nothing. But the most enjoyable thing was how people were happy around me.

The voice said that was the 'Charity' life. And I have to say, the name fitted. It was a rich and peaceful kingdom. Sure, there had some problems here and there, but nothing serious as a war. On the other hand, it was a really small kingdom compared to Liones.

It was the first life that I had attended to a royal ball. In my both past lives, I never got too close to a castle. And man, it was stunning how elegant those places could be. Everything was so delightful; I wished I had seen this in my past lives.

Oh, and there was the dance, guess who was my first partner?

That's right! Meliodas! And he was a prince!

I was shocked, my brain burning with the memories as we danced. The third me, however, didn't wanted to stay away. Oh no, that time I wanted revenge. I wanted him to knew how I felt, how the first and second felt.

That was the first life we had a romantic relationship.

Nothing that far, just some stolen kisses and dates around the gardens; but I was happy, my naivety let me sink in my hopes and dreams about the future. I was so high up on that love pedestal I thought nothing would make me fall.

But I did.

Reality came like a push and I was falling in despair. He fell in love with—well—Elizabeth. I guess it was fate. I fall for him, he fall for her, they stay together and I was left to rot. That was what the third me thought.

I don't remember exactly how I died in that life, but it was something with poison and the castle been attacked.

Still here, that tunnel. Three lives weren't enough? It wanted more?

In my fourth life I had some friends.

None of them were human, though.

How mad I was in that life. Three lives, I had lived three lives; and I reborn every time I died with all of my past lives' memories. What the heck was happening? Why did I keep coming back over and over?

That was the 'Chastity' life. What was a 'Chastity' life? A 'Charity' life? A 'Diligence' life? A 'Temperance' life? Why my lives had names? Even my first one had. I couldn't understand.

That life I grew up with many mythological creatures that I had never seen in my former lives. A fairy, a giant, an immortal, everyone lived within a beautiful forest. I lived here too, and it was breathtaking. The flowers, the trees, the nature... It remind me of my first life, however, it was a way more interesting.

Chastity; innocence. It meant my life in the forest and my friendship. That made search for more, so I could understand what was happening to me.

About the reborn, I didn't find a thing, but I found about my lives' names; the seven virtues: Temperance, Diligence, Charity, Chastity, Kindness, Humility and Patience. I already passed three lives, and now I was at the fourth one. Temperance meant how my first life was moderated, Diligence meant my effort on becoming a knight in my second life, Charity meant my kingdom and how happy my people were.

Now there was Kindness, Humility and Patience. If I reach the 'Patience' life, that means the reborn would stop, or the memories of my first life would stop coming? The fourth me thought, and then I realized something.

Meliodas.

Every time we meet, something happened. I fell for him, he fell for Elizabeth—blah, blah—and then something happened that changed my life and resulted in my death. Well, in the second life, Elizabeth was only present at my death, so that life was an exception.

It was so much to discover, and I couldn't do it alone.

It was the first life I told someone else about my problem.

Even if it sounded unbelievable, they helped, for me. I needed to find Meliodas. Tell him about us; discover what was happening to us.

That was the first life I couldn't find him.

A fatal disease got me before I ever could.

I was starting to hate this tunnel.

In my fifth life I was a ballerina.

Dancing really made me relax.

What was that? I didn't find Meliodas and even still I died? So Meliodas wasn't the reason of this 'curse'? The fifth me questioned. Why do I keep with my former memories? Was it a supernatural experience?

In this life, I had an artistic family. My mother and father drew such wonderful paintings; my brother loved playing his flute while my sister played piano. Me? I was a ballerina, and loved dancing when my siblings were playing music.

It was the 'Kindness' life. Kindness maybe meant my family. It was weird, you know, due to my past experiences I had an enormous amount of knowledge, and everyone considered me a genius. "I just had learnt this or that in my other life", I'd like to say, but nobody would've believed me.

How to bake cakes, hand-in-hand combat, princess' manners and true friendship; this experiences would always follow me.

I decided to become a ballerina in my fifth life because I never had experienced this before. It was a rough training, but I was used to it.

My first presentation was in a small stage, with only my family and a few villagers watching. Their awe expressions made me so prideful. When I was finished, I heard their applauses.

"Nice one!"

My eyes widened in that moment. That voice, I could never forget. There he was, with Elizabeth by his side, clapping at me. When I came down from the stage, he approached me.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." He said taking my hand. "I'm Meliodas; this is my wife Elizabeth, and man, what a future you got ahead!"

The words died in my throat, the fifth me arrived late. Too late.

Time passed, powerful people discovered my talent, and I had gone places. Dancing, and dancing, and dancing. I never meet him again, and I thought it was a good thing. The fifth me thought. We had different paths in that life.

And it was a relief to me.

That life made me meet so many important people, I felt special, in a way.

It was so special, so delightful...that I don't remember how I died.

Again, it was there again; that tunnel. Well, here we go.

Magic filled my sixth life.

Finally I could cast spells and some amazing tricks!

I didn't see it coming. A sorceress, in that life I was a sorceress. A powerful one if you may ask. None of my past lives let me taste magic, and the first time I casted a spell I almost fainted. That was so awesome, I miss it.

The sixth me was a really cool person. Owing to my former memories and magic, I could search more for the reason why my memories never left me.

It was the first one fault.

My first life was so boring, so monotone that I wished; I craved for adventure. That awoke some unknown power on me and made my life come this way.

Seven virtues = Seven lives.

Well, the voice in my head was just my conscience, and it said that was the 'Humility' life. I didn't understand what was so 'humble' about it. Maybe because I didn't attack people with my powers?

So powerful, that I was asked to be a Holy Knight, along with Merlin. I refused, because who asked me was Hendrickson, and I was sure he's up to something, something not good.

And I was right; he just screwed up Liones entirely.

In the end, I decided to join the Seven Deadly Sins, not for the adventure, but to keep an eye on Meliodas.

The sixth me was wise; too wise to stay away for feelings. In this life, I was watching, like a spectator. This might sounded a little creepy; however I was just hanging around with my friend. I didn't have to worry with my feelings in that life, because I had control over them.

We talked to each other; I had nice chats with him; about my and his future. Of course, I couldn't tell him about my lives.

In that life, I died after using a power spell to save everyone's lives; a healing spell way better than Elizabeth's magic, but that cost my life. It was a slow death, losing my health as they fought.

Hey, at least that time he cried. His tears were falling down over my face as he held my cold body.

Where's the tunnel?

My seventh life...

Well....

What could I say about my seventh life? It was my best life? That it was ironic?

You see, in my seventh life...I was a normal human again. Yeah, no magic, no special talent, no mythological friends, no kingdom, no knights, nothing; just me. But, honestly, it was the best life I ever got.

That was the 'Patience' life; the last one in the reborn spell. After that life I could die and my memories would be lost. I would reborn as any kind of being without any memory of my former life.

The Patience probably meant the fact I managed to fulfill the magic spell.

I was expecting something big; like a national hero or even a goddess. But here I was, just a normal human again living in the Liones Kingdom. Then I, disappointed, decided to follow the first me steps; live a normal life. I started my own business as a baker next to the castle, again.

However, there was something...different in that life. Yes, you had friends and enemies, I had a successful business, but I wasn't rich, everyone around my bakery knew eachother... perhaps it was because I lived next to the Liones' castle, instead of just a small village? The seventh me questioned.

The difference maybe was...his constant presence in my life. Meliodas visited me more, because the bakery was closer. The same order 'seven strawberry cakes' never let my mind. He was surprised in the first time.

"Oh, a new bakery" He said, scanning the place. "Excuse me, I want—"

"Seven strawberry cakes" I cut him, giving him the goods. "Was what you wanted right?"

"...How did you..."

We chatted more, we hang out more. He introduced me his friends, even if I saw them over and over in my former lives. Elizabeth was still there, but I don't know if their relationship was the same.

It was wonderful.

And when he confessed to me, I realized what 'Patience' meant. After so many lives, after so many tries, I finally did it. I had patience to endure and get it.

He had feelings for me.

I was so excited. After the confession, we lived the happily ever after that I dreamed so much.

I died as a elder person, just like my first life, but this time, I was really happy.
