*sigh*
I died again. It's two times now right? The number of times I've died.
You know, a lot of people always try to make death to be this painful parting of the soul where only suffering awaits the sinners but, I can't help but disagree. Two times I've died now and yet not once has it been painful, or maybe I was just lucky.
Ah it's really annoying though that's for sure. Just when I got a second chance to live and become something, I died again.
What's even up with that bastard! If he's that strong, why would he even want to become stronger? Evolution my ass! He could've just killed everyone else. Why'd he kill me too? Wasn't talking supposed to be rare enough to surprise him? *sigh*
I don't care anymore, it doesn't even matter. I'm dead after all!
Where am I even? I can't see anything, not even my own body!
Seriously, today sucks! One after the other weird things keep happening and it's getting more and more complicated.
Dying and reincarnating! Gray landscapes, murderous gremlins, LSD and now this place with no light! This is insane, really.
I think I'm going to cry.
----------------------------------------
This is taking too long.
I mean, I've already died, do you want to kill me from boredom too? Seriously, this is annoying. How much time has even passed? It's gotta be a few years with how long it's taking.
----------------------------------------
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-"
Too long,too long,too long,too long! I want to just punch something!
I can't take it! I'm a millennial for god's sake do you really think I can wait this long?
It's been at least two seconds since I came here now and I'm still here!!
----------------------------------------
"-31535999998, 31535999999, 31536000000! Finally!!!"
Ah yes, I finally hit a whole one thousand years in the dark space! I think! probably!
An accomplishment may I call it, after all it isn't everyday that you lose your mind to the point of counting seconds! Aren't I right? But still, spending this many years in this place I've gotten attached you know; I even met Fred here around 500 years ago or so. He's a great guy! Always trying to cheer me up with his original 10/10 jokes. What kind of jokes? alright, alright now here's a good one:
Why did a chicken cross the road?
…
…
…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... Isn't he hilarious? I know he is! He must've been a great comedian, I mean how else would he kno-
Suddenly I felt a tug.
...Huh?
What was that? Some kind of pull? It was pretty weak, did I imagine it? I have been in void for forever at this point, maybe I finally lost it. No no there is no way I lost it and there is no way I imagined that! I mean even that suspiciously weird light agrees right?

Seriously the nerve of myself! Wait,
A light?
A light?!
A light!!!!!!!! Yes, yes how many years has it even be- oh right. But still a light!
Wait, is it getting closer? No, that's not right. I'm the one getting pulled!
Eh, who cares! At least I'm getting out of here!
What about Fred though?
"Nononnononono Fred!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-"
----------------------------------------
It was a weird feeling to say the least. The sensation of all impurities leaving your body.
To be honest, I have no idea what's even happening anymore. I just know that it'll be beneficial to me, like getting a vaccine, most of the time you have no idea what it does when you're young you just know you won't lose anything by getting it.
Such thoughts went through my head in the short yet long time I spent being pulled.
Then suddenly, I saw grey.
A familiar environment, the same scenery and the same body.
I see,
I was revived.
Why, though? At this point it seems a bit absurd. I mean, I've already died twice so why again?
Even though I focused on the matter for a bit, to tell the truth I couldn't care less. Who would? when you are alive you don't care how you are, you just go on with your life.
Still, life is a blessing, and I'm not about to take it for granted again. Dying is really unpleasant.
Now that I think about it, that bastard mentioned evolution didn't he; Does that mean I'm in that kind of world? with a system? When you consider everything I've seen in this world until now, it doesn't sound that unusual. So there should be a status too, right?
Alright, lets try it
'Status'
And,
Nothing happened.
‘Eh? That didn’t work? It works most of the time though. I guess it can’t be helped then if this isn’t the right word. What about something else then?’
‘Board?’
That didn't work either. This is weird.
Oh I know, this is a classic!
‘Appraise’
Nothing again.
----------------------------------------
‘Maybe there isn’t a system after all? No surely there is, right? I mean a fantasy world without one sounds pretty boring doesn’t it?’
‘Whatever. I can’t just try every word when this hasn’t worked so far. I’m not one to just waste time for something like that, I’d rather sleep after all. I don’t feel like I’ll do that any time soon though.’
Truly unfortunate.
‘With that out of the way, what now? Maybe I should explore this place a bit first. You know, look around for anything.’
‘There surely can’t be many things around with such a desolate landscape though.’ Come to think of it… this place had a name, didn’t it?
The Spirit Plane.
The second that thought came to mind something pound my head. ‘A familiar pain. Is it from a bat? No. It’s the same as a gun’. Currently I felt like I had been shot. It hurt a bit, to be honest. Not like I haven’t experienced pain of this level before. Whatever, bat, gun it didn’t matter… seconds after the pain came it intensified. Information flew into my head, a world of bizarre creatures I have never seen outside of fantasy and horrors that cannot be described.
Humans, Bipedal Animals, Hulking masses of muscle and even dark balls of a hundred eyes. This place had everything to say the least. Yet, only one thing peaked my interest.
Spirits. The race I was currently part of.
With a see-through ethereal body made of Aether and mana, I was currently a lowest tier spirit {Spirit Infant} that has the strength of a normal adult.
But to think I was an elemental spirit of all things, I thought I just hadn’t reincarnated yet for a second.
----------------------------------------
The spirit plane is an unusual place, to say the least.
From what I learned, it is a 4 dimensional disc like space that is split into six parts for the corresponding element, with the standard (Earth,Air,Fire,Water,Light,Dark), the elements that make up the world.
So I’m currently in the wind part of the domain of Air with nothing to do.
One thing worthy of note though, is that spirits view the world differently from others. Especially their element.
To give an example, I see the air as something to use, a tool you could say, that no matter what will obey my will. Not to mention that seeing the threads of mana that make up the world is a must. Even peeking to the other side of the world is possible for a Spirit as long as something of their element is present.
I guess this made my day a bit.
