I know this may not be quite the same, but I saw my reincarnation as a second chance at life. In my previous one, I wasted the time I had and amounted to nothing. This time, I have the chance to take my life into my own hands and make of it what I will.

If this world's gods choose to see one of my failures as a crime then that is their prerogative. I don't accept their judgement. The only god whose judgement matters to me is that of my chosen patron.
