Hello, my name is Vincent, and I'm witnessing the end of my universe. You're wondering how I know this, two days ago a meteor shower hit the earth and dozens of channels appeared as if by magic, they repeated in a detached way "this world is corrupt, corrupt, we announce the annihilation of this world, be inferiors will hear our call".
To tell you the truth, I was an average man working as an accountant at the time of the call, a person who did my job well, but nothing more, single, in a small apartment two minutes from my work and the metro.
Enough about me, having died from the explosion caused by one of the many meteorites, I'm amazed to still have my consciousness awake, I can only see that souls are real and not that when we die everything stops, from where I am, I can see the earth become a planet with only an ocean of lava as in its younger years, a few moments later, a black dot formed, but soon the dot became as big as the earth, then the entire solar system was swallowed up by the dot, but I soon noticed that the dot was in fact a sphere of emptiness and that the atoms, proton and particles had broken up.
During this time, I noticed the phenomenon, the entire Milky Way had disappeared into the void, for 24 hours the void continued to expand, after which I noticed that the vacuum was slowing down, I then saw the boundaries of the universe collapse, everything was over, the void reigned unchallenged, but what amazed me was that I was still alive while everything else was destroyed, even the souls in the vicinity were not excluded.
A blinding light flashed through me, and once I'd adapted to the sudden light, I found myself in a white room shaped like a hemicycle, at each seat were men, women and various other creatures. I'm a man who used to read a lot of fantasy novels, and from the appearance of certain people, I was able to identify what looked like elves, dwarves, beast-men and other fantastic personalities.
The man in the middle of the hemicycle stood up and said in a soft, majestic tone: "Welcome, wandering soul". Surprised by the situation, taking a step back with indifference, the man continued: "I present myself, I am the creator god of the universe to which you are to be transferred, you died in your previous life in a rather atrocious manner, normally you would have disappeared with your world, but for some unknown reason, you are still whole and conscious."
The woman on his left then spoke up.
"I am the goddess of reincarnation of this world, so that you can easily reincarnate, we gods have decided to transfer your soul into a newborn, a divine beast, but not to disturb you, your memories, which are not related to your knowledge, will be deleted, only your knowledge, the fact that you were human, your death, as well as this discussion will be preserved."
Following this news, I began to panic, he told me that everything that made me would be destroyed.

"Can't you just send me as I am?" I asked.
But they replied: "No, we're already making an exception by leaving you your knowledge, and besides, you'd be mentally unstable if we reincarnated you like that".
Having no choice, I began to ask questions about the world in which I would be reincarnated, but the gods quickly told me it was pointless to ask them, as they wouldn't answer.
Stunned by the news, I could only resign myself and accept my new life as a beast.
The gods in turn wished me good luck and a good life, either by snuggling me in their arms or patting me on the shoulder; when it came to the goddess of reincarnation's turn, my eyelid became heavy and I was plunged into sleep as quickly as a small child in its mother's arms.
Suddenly, I felt a sensation of pleasant warmth like a blanket, which turned into pain in my chest. Panic-stricken, I began to try to get out, I could see that a solid surface surrounded me, I gathered my strength to try to break it, then I heard a cracking sound resembling that of an egg, only after this cracking sound could I extricate myself through the fissure, I smelled a light scent of dried grass around me, as well as the sweet perfume of roses, I soon realized that I was blind and covered in a strange liquid, inconstantly, I began to lick my body full of hair once this was done, I turned around and walked towards my former prison, touching it, I could see that it was an egg, (what a strange way to be born).
I said to myself
The strange liquid continued to ooze from the crack, so my body, without my being able to control it, began to drink the liquid and eat the shell, the feeling of being satiated passing through my mind at the end of my action.
I noticed that two other eggs were next to mine, so I deduced that they could only be my brothers or sisters. It took an hour for the other two prisons to be broken, and I heard melodious little yelps coming out of the two newborns. I could then identify the sex of the two newborns by their smell, and deduced that they were a male and a small female, although I wondered how I'd been able to identify their sexes.
The male attacked me after drinking the liquid and eating the shell inside his egg with a well-placed swipe of his paw.
As for my sister, she chose to snuggle up to me instead, licking my face in affection. Once my younger brother had calmed down, he quickly joined us to enjoy the warmth.
We fell into a deep sleep.
I was awakened by my stomach demanding food, and unconsciously began sniffing around in search of it.
Several tantalizing smells were caught by my nose, so I set off in search of them, after some difficulty in getting out, I headed towards the smells, after a few minutes that seemed like hours, I was able to reach my destination, hesitating for a few seconds, I began to taste the different foods that gave off the smells perceived earlier, the taste varied from mushroom to strawberry, once again satiated, I returned to my brother and sister.
Once I was safe with my family, I began to reflect on my situation, from the many fantastic books I'd read, reincarnates got a system or a cheat, right? In my case, I received no notification of this.
As I pondered the fact that I hadn't obtained anything from the gods for my reincarnation, the sound of an animal was picked up by my ears, I put myself on guard and in order to protect my family, I exited what I considered my home, being blind, I had to rely on my other senses to locate the potential threat. Just after exiting, I was thrown onto a nearby surface.
I told myself that on my first day, I was pretty unlucky.
