“What happens if I press no?” I ask.
“…I’m not sure, no one has ever chosen ‘No’. I would guess your soul gets wiped clean, that’s how it is for the normal people who die. An opportunity like you have now is very rare.”
“That’s a bit scary isn’t it? How do you not know what happens?”
“I’m a God of creation not a God of Souls, I’m only in charge of your reincarnation because of orders from my superior. Can you just press yes already…”
“Ah, sure”, I say, tapping yes.

Congratulations! Your soul is unique!
System has detected traces of Primordial energy within your soul!
My soul is unique? And what is primordial energy? Dark matter? I better ask Shaun.
“Hey Shaun, I’m guessing that this isn’t normal but… this ‘System’ is saying that my soul is unique and that there is primordial energy in it. Is that like dark matter?”
“Sorry, I’m not allowed to tell you. Don’t worry though, you’ll find out as soon as you arrive on your new world… Ah! Before I forget, you’re not going to start as a baby. Usually you would, but I can use that energy within your soul as fuel to create you a new body, you can even choose your own race! Praise me.”
“Praise Shaun!” I exclaimed.
“Haha”
“Anyway… you can create me a new body? That’s really cool, what are my choices?”
“Here, I’ll show you. There should be a description of the races and their racial bonuses as well.”
Ding!
