Taking a look around myself as I wake up I immediately notice that I seem to be in a void. Well as much as you can call floating in a sea of gray mist a void. I start to panic slightly as I have no idea how I got here all I can remember is that... Ah, I see. Well that sucks. Just after getting my driver's liscence I died. Ended up getting rammed into the side as I started to exit to the main highway. Knew it was too soon to get it, even though I am already 20 years old. Wait why am I so calm.
"That would be because you are no longer living." says a voice from the mist. "Since you can read my mind I assume that you are either a god, or some higher being." I say outloud. "I am a god. One of many that you might have a chance to meet soon enough. Well, in a god's sense of soon at least." As the god finishes speaking it almost sounds as if he/she is chuckling. I can not tell as the voice of the god is extremely neutral sounding.
"So what now do I go to some sort of heaven/hell or get reborn?" "Ah, that would be up to you in some regards. Most souls are eager to rest in peace, or have become corrupt and sent into what you might regard as a biblical hell. Yours however is neither of those. So you get an option that few do. Reincarnation. Otherwise your soul will be sent to rest and as it rests will forget the memories of this last lifetime and once they are all gone sent back into the cycle." "Wait, does that mean if I were to choose to reincarnate now I will keep my memories?" I ask once it seems I may speak again. "Indeed it does." the god answers. Ugh, even in my thoughts this is getting rediculous in terms of gender to use. "May I know your gender god?" I then hear a laugh. "About time you asked. I am actually female." As she starts the sentence the voice slowly changes from the strangly neutral tone to a much more femenine.
"Now before we can continue talking, I need to know what your choice is." she says abrubtly.
I don't even hesitate before responding. "I will choose to reincarnate. There is no reason not to in my opinion." "A majority of the worlds out there are nowhere near as nice as Earth is. And considering it might be hard for you to adapt I shall grant you a few boons. The first is basically an rpg system though it does not affect anyone else but you. The second a shop in the system that will let you buy pretty much anything. Though I do have to say I particularly liked what Earthlings have created with their imagination especially anime such a nice way to kill boredom so it might be a bit skewed towards that. And 8finally the third boon shall be my blessing though this might not be seen as a boon to some.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"Could you elaborate on the rpg system please? Particularly about how it won't affect others." I ask. "Sure. The system will show your basic stuff like health and other statistics. Along with keeping up with what skills you've learned, and allowing your body to be more like a video game character's. Skill books and the like will still exist for you though they won't disappear when used. You can obviously rase stats and stuff by leveling or physical/mental training. However, there will not be a map function, a party function, or any other such ways of interacting with others through the interface. You will still be able to use skills like obvserve to see anothers stats and such if it is high enough leveled. The stats will just be a numeric score of what the person has anyway."
"Now getting onto some more nitty gritty details about your new life. Do you have a particular name that you would wish to have?
At first this question was a bit difficult. After all, spending your life with the name that your parents gave you is significant, but ultimately, I decided that I did infact want a particular name. "I would like my first name to be Alsor, and my last name to be Daechir if possible." Thinking of the name that I used online in my past life as it would be quite anonymous in anywhere but earth or elvish consider the last name is litterally princess/queen of night.
"That is possible, yes. Now there are going to be many different races other than humans in the world you are first going to. Here is a list of the most common ones but if you can think of one that might exist don't be afraid to ask for that one in particular. Human, Elves, Dwarves, Vampires, Demons, Dragonborn and Beastkin. Please note these are not all of the races on the planet just those that are most common.
There was always one race I would choose if I could but sadly its not directly in the list. However, the two that parent it are. "I would like to choose one that is not in the list that you stated, even though this one might make it even harder for me to live in the beginning I feel that it would be better than any of those listed in the long run. I would prefer to be reborn as a Dhampir."
"An unusual choice. I can see how it can be seen as harder in the beginning as even if your human mother does survive you being birthed you will still be outcast from your father, and yet still have the potential infinite lifespan of the vampire father as well as not having to deal with ones potential weaknesses."
"Now keeping you here much longer will be of less benifit to you as it slowly wears down a mortal's soul so off you go." "Wait! Tell me your name first please." "You will know it in time. Now goodbye."
The moment I heard the word goodbye my vision fades and it feels like I have fallen asleep.
