Four of them stood in the void, looking at each other after they talked all at the same time.

Xye, the one with long black hair and a dark blue robe, opened his eyes in surprise and announced, "I think this is the inner being, which means we all either share the same inner being, or we have somehow merged ours."

Slyi, the wizard was still very confused but replied "Inner being? does that have something to do with the sou-".

A spectral light flew out from the chest of all four of the Slye's there, and they all ended up knocked over due to the violent burst. None of them knew exactly what was happening, but Slie and Slyi had the best guess as the first two who entered this cycle. When Slie's soul first got into Slyi, they both felt themselves merge into eachother, but the process didn't complete before Slyi died to the ogre and they were summoned to Xye. It then happened once again, this time with three of them that couldn't complete the merging process before they died again and were sent to yet another body.

Slye is where they currently resided, and though he was close to death he didn't die, unlike the others. Now the body had to go through merging four souls at once to make up for how they couldn't merge one at a time before. It felt extremely painful for each of them and they all felt extreme pain in their chest and head that ended up causing them each to faint.

While they were unconscious, the lights in the soulspace were fighting each other, all four lights were constantly shifting, changing colors, and taking over one another trying to find a balance. They fought for what seemed like hours until it started to die down, and in the end there was a sphere of essence. It was split into what seemed like five sections, there was a golden light in the center, and there were four colors making sections of a shell that surrounded it.

Blue soul essence was what Slie's turned into, most likely because while he was on Earth he never really did anything on his own. He was like water and would ebb and flow without doing much. This was followed by a red section, being Slyi's most likely because he was a fire magician. Xye's soul essence was purple, most likely because that was the color his chi materialized as when he used martial arts. Slye's was white since he didn't have much going for him in terms of talent or skills, but he did have some determination to be something and prove everyone wrong.

Waking up, Slye realized something was very, very wrong. His body told him it must have been days that passed judging by how hungry he was, but that wasn't the most important thing to him right now. He thought differently, his brain felt re-invigorated and after some thought he could decipher what happened.

Their souls successfully merged together, but due to the amount of them there were they couldn't all merge into one. It seemed like each soul contributed to creating a soul with the memories of all of them, and personality traits that were shared between them all. That was the soul that was controlling the body, while the rest of them were within the soulspace. Each of them were themselves and the new soul, and it made itself very apparent since he felt like he could split his mind and think multiple times at once.

Instinctively, he could do it and only noticed when he realized how he was focusing on his surroundings, body, and what happened all at the same time each with a train of thought to follow. While thinking of what to do, he felt conflicted. One part of him wanted to start magic immediately, and another wanted him to start meditating and do martial arts. There was the part that wanted to continue leveling up and get new skills too, and they all couldn't decide what was the right course of action until they remembered what happened before they passed out.

Tunnel vision started clearing, and they could see transparent text in front of them.

Welcome to the Great Sage System

Welcome to the Amazing Cultivation System

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Warning: Your status has undergone forceful changes

Slie's memories came forward, those webnovels, manga, and manwha about being transmigrated to another world after death and getting a system or skills seems to have come true. Three times in a row. Slyi was from a fantastical world with magic and swords, and he seems to have gotten a system pertaining to becoming a sage due to merging with his body. Xye was from a cultivation world, and they got a cultivation system because of it.

Slye was from a world that was a mix of fantasy and futuristic. Everyone also had a status, it wasn't special but the introduction of reincarnated souls probably gave some new strong skills if the webnovels Slie read were correct. Slye's world was the closest to Earth than any of the other ones, with society being for the most part in futuristic mega-cities but outside of the cities there was monsters and dungeons, treasure to find and that sort of thing.

Going down the line, Slye decided to focus on the messages. When he focused on the Great Sage System message, it opened a large transparent panel.

Welcome to the Great Sage System!

This was very awkward. The native status of this world was also activated by thinking "Status". When Slye thought the word status, three different screens appeared in front of him.
