Chapter 1 - Worth?
I wake up.
Did I wake up? I’ve been here for a while now what’s different, did I not Have thought’s?
*There In the void lays an orb with paradoxical color*
Am I that ball? No, a soul. My soul. Why a sphere thou why not a cube or a pyramid can’t I be an Interesting shape at the very least.
*The orb stretches and compress Into a flat plane, a cube, a tree, string, and a few more abstract shapes*
Wait, how am I seeing myself? I know I shouldn’t, why shouldn’t I thou.
*feeling the wrongness In Itself, It tries familiarizing Itself with Itself*
I can move buts It's slow like underwater. Huh Is that light?
*The orb stubbles upon Its karmic shell*
I am enveloped In soft, white light. It's warm to the touch? and I feel sluggish like I've been asleep for a long while. I want out!! I don’t know why but It feels like I should be outside. I try to open my eyes, and all I see Is the most beautiful wheel.
*A Ring, a Circle, A Clock, A Scale, a Mobius Strip, a Factory of Dimensional Scale, an Alter to Beings too Great for The Mortal Mind, made of wood, stone, metal, flesh, and rules of realty*
This grand being of perfection, of fairness, of time and destiny, built of such Immaculate design, such perfection, breaking and building becoming more with every passing second, wheels upon wheels, wheels within wheels, wheels of Indescribable shapes and sizes, and at the top It says*
{Reincarnation}
And that Is when I realize I've been hearing a consistent Clicking, Whining, Slotting, Snapping, Welding, Colling repeating on and on to Its symphony. And questions start to form in the corner of my mind. Where am I? What am I? Who am I?
And like a hammer of a forge, It hits me all at once, snapping my mind away from the {Wheel of Reincarnation}. I was a biologist, I dealt In genetic engineering. My name was Donald Zee, my coworkers called me Dr. Zee, my last job was compromised from an unexpected terrorist attack . . . I Died.
.
.
.
I'm taking this quite well. Why am I taking this so well!!? I'm not like this; this Is not me!
I was called the "Paragon of Stress" at work; why am I not worried about dying?
[Welcome To the Wheel]
What?
Did the clock just talk?
[Hello Reincarnator]
Yup, the road that connects all did speak.
[Reincarnator You Are In the "Axis"-
-You Have 1 Decade to Finalize Your Reincarnation]
The voice sounds very feminine but like It was on the edge of going muscular, It's calm and soothing to hear Instead of the constant orchestra of clicking from the Wheel. "What do you mean by 1 Decade?"
[Reincarnator You're Karma Is Greater Than 200]
What's Karma? I "know" what Karma Is from my time as Donald, but I need all Information I can get. I know this Is a place for Reincarnation but that’s It. Thankfully the silver scales seem to be able to read my mind.
[Curious Reincarnator - Rectifying Future Answers]
[Karma Is the Connection of Past Present and Future-
-Karma Is Seen as a Rewardable Behavior by Higher Beings-
-Gained Karma Can Be Used to Set Up or Change Aspects of Your Reincarnation]
Ok . . . that was a lot but explains Karma, Higher Beings? Change Aspects Reincarnation? Way above my pay grade, though my pay was quite high.
Ok, then how about "Um hi, can you elaborate what you said about 200 something," Ok my voice Is the same and I can speak!
[Reincarnator You're Karma Is Greater Than 200 as such you are given the privilege 3 - 1 decade to Finalize Your Reincarnation]

The screen abrupt pop-in almost sent me to the shadow realms. "heh," I laughed at my own joke, "But seriously, Is 400 Karma a lot." No matter how I look at It, 400 Is way above average "What’s the average for a person" I asked with a bit of pride In my voice. Why? Because I’m above Average as the merchant will prove.
[Calculating...]
[The Average Is 100]
Alright, that's good to know sooooo " Wait 100 points!!" I know I've done some good work, but 400 seems excessive, and I'm not entirely sinless "does this mean I am 4 times more virtuous than the average man." More pride bleeding In with every word.
[No Reincarnator - Your Actions Have Just Left Bigger Imprints on the Future of Humanity]
[Karma Is Counted In years by How Much Humanity Had Been Saved or Contributed]
[You Have Saved/Contributed Roughly 4060 Human years]
. . .
Wow
WOW
4000 years I saved 4000 years as a scientist this Is the best. And now as a scientist, I am the best. This, this right here Is recognition for what I’ve done, of what I’ve sacrificed to reach this point. And now here I am to reap the benefits, I start rubbing my non-existent hands In anticipation. For what Is death If not but a promotion.
"where do we start?" And I swear on my soul that I saw the wheel smile.
[Reincarnator With Your Privileges you may choose all options except starting universe]
[Please spin me to counting]
And out of the constantly moving disk of endless possibility comes out the arm of a slot machine. "A game of luck could be worse," I mumble, I'm not much of a sports person, and the casino Is something of a pastime for me, so seeing a slot machine arm Is a kind of symbolic. "Can't dwell on the past," I say grabbing hold with my Soul.
Grabbing hold of the gem bedazzled shaft that seems to shift In ways my mind can’t comprehend; flesh, wood, metal, liquid, antique, ancient, and many more obscure forms. The weight of the arm seems negligible, but I can still feel pressure on my Soul.
Breath In, breathe out, "Don you got one chance." And then I pull with as much finesse as possible and the world spins.

*Slowly ever so slowly the wall of lights slowed, stooping at Blue*
"Woo, I think I'm going to get sick," I say slurring my words, the movement of the entirety of this place was a headache, but the real pain was the comprehension; every light corresponding to a universe, And looking at one gave me a hint of what It was: some heavily favored technology, while others "Rules of Heaven," It was honestly speaking a mess seeing It all.
The ones in front thou were; Balance, Risk Reward, Perseverance.
Its Name Was [NullBach] *Said In a heavy dutch*
[Reincarnator Your Universe Is NullBach a System Based Universe]
[System Based Universe are Universe Where all Aspects can be Obtain Changed and Grown Into Enlighten and Beast Individuals]
So, this Is my Universe It feels, like me. "Next step?" I ask sheepishly remembering my privilege’s this Is going to take a while.

- Location
- Race
-Divine blessing (Options)

Breath In, breathe out, breath In, breathe out, breath in? How am I breathing?
Who cares, let’s take this slow. "World first!" I shouted a tad too excitedly.

Sarundoor a world of wonders filled with adventures galore, enlightened and monster wage war yearly for It.
These new screens abrupt pop-in almost scared my sock off "If I wear wearing them." A good joke but time to be serious, looking at the screen I look at Sarundoor," 300 for no Benefits!! " I almost shouted, but looking closely It seems to be a package deal "Civilization and Security" this seems to be this Universes rules at play. "Hey, how much Is a location??" I question seeing as the world has the potential to bankrupt me already. And that was one of the nice ones the others cost the same but are way more hostile.
[Reincarnator location cost nothing, they synergies with race-
-For example, a tree will cost nothing In a forest than In a volcano]
Well, that helps but "Can I go back on a decision" This honest question will be the cornerstone of all my future decisions.
[Yes, Reincarnator this Universe's Rules are Geared Toward Repeats and Growth]
Fine well then "Can you remove Sarundoor and all related Races Please, "honestly Sarundoor Is too big an Investment and likely gimp me greatly In the mid to end game. "Oh yah can I call you Ring thinking about you Is giving me a headache, and I don’t have one, I think?"
[Yes. . . New Settings Done]
[May I recommend seeing the general race overview]
"Sure," seems like a reasonable thing I should check.
After Uttering those words, the world span again.
