I want to start writing a fantasy reincarnation novel and I want a good beginning but I can't decide. By now I have:
- Being killed by a friend (doesn't matter the location)
- Being killed by a friend (battlefield)
- Apocalypse is coming and the terrain is changing - killed by a collapsing building
- Trying to save someone from being mugged but accidentally slipped and got his throat slit by the knife of the attacker
If there any other suggestion I welcome them.

I'd start with a murder mystery. My hero tries to save someone in great peril, beaten and kicked and dragged away. But that person was just acting, a "professional" victim, and only bait used to lure my hero into a trap that ends their life. The mystery is my hero did not know the person that was in distress, or who set the trap. Neither does the reader. My hero is reincarnated with the memories, and wants to find who set the trap and why.
