I was in a marble room with a pedestal in the center.
Max: “SHIT SHIT BULLSHIT!”
Oh, my voice changed, I look at my naked body. I’m back to my first body’s life. Ha ha like it never happened. The pain the fear the exhaustion the anger wait the anger is still here that was bullshit! Sure, if I read the other text while driving, I could have lived but I stupid and had tunnel vision. Why didn’t I read that text sooner. Now that I was thinking about it why didn’t I do so many things. I didn’t ever try my life point, I wonder if that would have helped, I shouldn’t have dived under that car it latterly cut my leg off.
I should have kept moving so I could heal dam it doesn’t matter anymore does it.
I fucked up. only five years in.
Box: “welcome back rencarnator! Please step up to the podium to evaluate your life!”
This place was calming me, my mom died, and I felt sad, but I didn’t feel like I should have, I think. I was glad I could experience if for once, that’s one thing I’m glad for.
I stepped up to the podium and placed my hand on it.
Box: “Calculating your life Accomplishments… you survived 5 years! For surviving 5 years in a _dystopian world_ get 1.5x points, you get 7 points!”
Good to know it rounds down.
Box: “your 25 main ability levels gives you 50 points and your 34 sub ability levels gives you 34 points for a total of _84_ points!”
Box: “for learning 8 new level 4 skills gain 16 points”
Box: "for learning 3 new subjects gain 1 point”
Box: “for making 1 new thing _tear gas_ gain 5 points! for making four new programs gain 8 points.”
A total of 121 points so far, my first life was forty-eight points, I think I’m going to have less achievements though.
Box: “Your grade in life is D you get 30 extra points _doesn’t count towards next total_. If final score is below A, your security in reincarnation is being reviewed.”
Box: “review was looked through you may still reincarnated.”
Box: “Congratulations Incarnator! You have earned multiple Achievements!”
Box: “for working passed midnight for a single year’s worth of time in all lives total, gain achievement “overnight time” 20 points”
Box: “for getting the achievement “Top 50% Richest People In This Universe” you get 5 points”
Box: “for getting the achievement “the world is code” “entering a new world” “mind is matter” gain 26 points”
Box: “for getting the achievement “metal flesh” ”wired up” “plugged” “basic editing” gain 23 points and have unlocked the Intelligence tab!”
Box: “for getting the achievement “friend in a lonely world” 5 points”
Box: “for getting the achievement “second run” 11 points, and ”
251 points, that’s less than my first time but I only got five years this time and last time I got 24 years.
Box: “A total of 251 points. Life updated to D+ for obtaining D+ you get 50 extra points.”
Ok above next life by 18 points with the two bonuses.
Box: “open menu?”

Max: “box, can you tell me what the + to the ability really means?”
Box: “the number is only relative to skills possible, if it’s level 4 you can get level 4 skill if it’s level 8 you get 0-8 skills, and it tells you when you get perk points. you level it through working and learning new things about it. the (+) is an addition to your ability. You already have ability for certain things, but you can always gain more.” -_SO MANY NUMBERS_-
Ok. I spend the rest of my points, two on body forty points, four in both breach protocol and quick hacking. Then I put one in reflex. And put the last five in stealth brining it up to two.
Dam this was all hurting my brain. But it was over.
