----------------------------------------
Haruya awoke with a gasp as he breathed erratically. The phantom pain lingering in his form as he shivered.
Wait… Aren’t I dead? Then how did I wake up?
Haruya thought to himself as he looked around the place he had woken into. The area was very simple in form and crude in design. It was dark and very dark and if he stared too far he would see nothing.
The only reprieve was that he was standing on something solid yet invisible. He could feel the smooth texture of the floor and it was cold. Freezing cold.
I wonder how I didn’t get any frostbite laying there. But this is alarming if this is a dream I have to get out of here.
His thoughts were interrupted as a sudden flash occurred near him, and a single rectangular plate of light appeared. It shone bright enough to light up the floor, which now glowed white instead.
A moment was all it took as Haruya leapt upright before cautiously walking to the screen. He had qualms about these odd phenomena. And if that light was any clue he could tell he was dead.
It was when the piece of light was within arm’s reach that he saw what it was. Its light faded into the more relaxing and lighter blue light and it looked like a glowing rectangular pane of blue glass instead.
Haruya came forward and took the glass pane. If it was anything this ‘screen’ is his by default. What coincidence is it when a screen appeared when you woke up?
Okay don’t kill me please.
Inwardly cringing at the odd thought Haruya took a closer look, inspecting the screen. A glowing circle appeared on the screen and the word [Press Me] faded into being in the centre.
Giving the benefit of the doubt Haruya hesitantly pressed it. The circle spun wider and left the entire screen entirely as it was now no longer within the screen, instead it was now hovering around him like a hoop.
What the hell?!
Haruya clearly panicked. He didn’t expect this. He frantically backed away from the screen yet the circle remains around him.
Haruya calm down… This can’t hurt me. I just have to get through this and see the end. Just go through this odd ordeal and get it over with.
After mentally preparing himself Haruya took the floating screen again. It looked like a clear hologram. Instead of a circle words now appeared. It filled out as a form that began to fill in with his personal information.
He let go, and the text stopped filling in.
Okay… Personal information huh. Let’s get this over with.
Taking the screen as it filled up with more information he looked at it.

There is no information! They just filled out with this game like stats!
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
There was a brief moment of stunned silence as his eyes widened comically.
Game like reincarnation trope!? Oh my god that is true?! Then this is a chance I have to take even if this is just a wake up dream and I’m actually in limbo or something!
He silently wished to whatever god that is out there for his dreams to come true. While frantically praying [Begging] for those to hear him while the screen sat there idling.
Please make me an awesome god like creature please! I want to live a good life there.
Taking hold of the screen again another button appeared under all the game statuses that had appeared. He took a glance and was disheartened.
Randomize Start? That doesn’t sound good. I hope I don’t turn into a rock…
Bracing himself with all the courage he had, Haruya took a moment to take in what had happened in the last 20 minutes or so and adopted a brave stature. There is no telling what he would get. There is always a chance to screw up and there is always bad luck.
As he placed his finger above the button shy a few centimeters from pressing it Haruya hesitated.
What if I ended up a demon and serve a demon king… Or a random mob monster… Please don’t…
Steeling himself, he shouted to the world to hear him.
“I don’t care if it’s random creature as long as its god-like I am in it!”
And pressed the button. However he didn’t expect the screen to explode into a supernova and began filling up with more information. Random words appeared over each stat and filled up with more and more information.
Haruya’s hands were stuck and he couldn’t remove it, even when his hands transformed into light. His hands now a construct of light refused to budge either. The light spread from his hands to his lower arms as if it was a virus. In tandem is the information appearing on screen.

By the last of the text filling in Haruya had been fully converted into a being of light. His body shown to the world as a naked fairly decent toned body made of bright white light. All features were gone and all that was left is a silhouette of a male made of light and even the manly part was gone.
The screen promptly dove into the construct’s chest and integrated itself deep within his core. When he was done converting he screamed in pure joy as a rush of power entered his being and in a second a huge displacement of air occurred creating a powerful sound.
----------------------------------------
Over a big hill plains that was clear of any trees a powerful light appeared. From within that light a man made of light appeared.
“Haah… That was intense!” Checking his lower body he gave a sigh. “That’s lost now I guess.”
A god tree? That is disappointing. Even though it’s god like and has a lot of abilities it still is disappointing. Even a tree killed me back there. But where is my body anyway?
Unbidden, rumbles was heard from his chest. Haruya looked down and was shocked to see wood with silver accents grow from his chest right where his heart was. Panicking a bit he tried to scrape it off. It didn’t work.
Of course that doesn’t work… Let’s get this over with then.
The wood continued to spread all over his body claiming it and cocooning him inside. The now oval shaped seed plummeted into the ground at break neck speeds and dug itself a cozy dwelling.
The world waited with bated breath as the seed implanted itself deep within the earth of Esevia. The next moment shook the ground as a large tree sprung forth from the ground. It took form into a single trunk that reached meters above ground as its branches spread out. The roots below dug deeper in search. Leaves began to spring forth from the branches creating a bushy canopy that was thick enough to blot out the sunlight from passing through.
But they were not normal. The leaves shone in the sun’s light as they formed into shining crystal leaves. They grew and solidified into emeralds. The bark grew small weaving barks that also had silver accents to it. The strength of the bark now rivaling a solid block of iron. The roots flowed down into the earth veined with gold. They shone with ethereal light as if there was a sun within the root itself. They dug deeper in its search.
Within the tree’s own bark a beating sound was heard. Within, a coagulation of golden essence formed into a single block of Amber that had a misshapen form. It beat once, twice and then began beating a rhythm. From the rhythm a pulse of energy began dancing out of the heart and into the surroundings.
Life began to fruitfully bloom and flourish. After the growth had subsided Haruya gasped out in shock. His construct form appearing below the amber core. He was debilitated as he grew from a seed into a tree in mere seconds. Curious, he flew out of the tree and marveled its form.
This is beautiful…
Haruya thought with awe. The tree had grown and shone with light. Everything of it looked divine and heavenly.
GOD TREE NAME : ?
“What is this?” Haruya asked himself. He pondered it for a second before a name sprung forth with a click. Eyes widening with the sheer awesomeness of the name he touched the screen and announced. “I wish to name myself.”
The screen shimmered in readiness.
GOD TREE NAME : _
“Yggdrasil” he said. He inwardly cringed at the corny but awesome name. It had been known to him as the Tree of Life.
GOD TREE NAME : [YGGDRASIL]
Haruya was suddenly hit with a dangerous thought.
What do I do now? I wish I know what my mission is…
[YOU ARE TO GROW AND SUPPLY THE WORLD WITH MANA THE LIFE SOURCE OF ALL BEINGS]
Caught off guard and shocked beyond belief to hear a voice within him that caused Haruya to curse.
“What the fuck!” he screamed. It is noted that Haruya rarely curses.
