Chapter 1: a good conversation with Alice (the AI of the system) and time to reincarnate.
[ You have died ]
Death somehow feels a little anticlimactic when the last thing you see is an amateur goon pointing an AK directly in your face and then BANG.
Now I find myself inside a big white room talking with some metallic ball that glows every time it talks and the first thing it told me was that I’m dead.
“I mean, I know I’m not some super genius to know that a good shot to the head means death but why am I talking to you again, oh Mr. Shiny Ball, instead of going to wherever the place that I’m supposed to be?"
[ It is because you have been chosen to become the new host of the [System] ]
Hah. Gotta admit, the voice actually sounds kinda sweet, even though I don’t know whether or not it belongs to a man or a woman. I'm gonna go with a woman.
“So what?”
[ This means that you can either have your memory wiped clean and continue with your reincarnation ]
Nope! Not givin' up on my memory.
“Or?”
[ Or chose to become the host of the [ Mercenary System ] and keep your memory from your past life, as well as gaining a way to upgrade your body through points. You can gain points by doing missions assigned to you by the [System] or by the god that governs the world that you live on]
Hm, it is actually a pretty good deal, but...
“The catch is that I must do missions given by the god or by the [System] and in return I get these point to upgrade myself. And if I say no, then I will forget everything, is that it?"
[ Yes ]
“Hm... So why are you choosing me to become the host of this system?”
[ It is because the rate in which you had the chance to finish your missions is over 90% based on your actions and your special way of thinking in your previous life ]
“Well, I don’t want to lose my memory, I guess... yes, I accept becoming the host.”
[ Excellent, now do you wish to learn about the [Mercenary System] or do you wish to skip it and continue on with the reincarnation process]
“Yeah, I think I want to know."
[ Very well ]
[ 1. We have your stats. This includes your {strength}, {mind}, {speed}, {vitality} and {energy}. You can see them in your status. You can see your status by saying the word “status” in any language ]
[ 2. We have a shop where you can use your points to purchase abilities like {telekinesis}, {night vision},… or weapons, items, and minerals like gold or silver or skills like {sword mastery}, {crafting},… and so on ]
[ 3. We have the mission board where you can accept missions and receive your reward, which could be anything from an item to a skill and an ability ]

[ And that is it ]
“So what are stats for?”
[ {strength}: your muscle, skin and bone density ]
[ {speed}: your reaction speed and muscle speed ]
[ {mind}: your memory and processing speed ]
[ {vitality}: your immune system and your regeneration ability ]
[ {energy}: the amount of energy in your cells. This energy can be called by many names like mana, qi. Ki, …]
So there is a chance I could become a mage or a cultivator...
[ Would you like to see your past life's status ? ]
“Show me."
Let me see how I was in my past life...
[ status ]
[ name: Raymon Anderson ]
[ points: 0 ]
[ {strength} : 1.8 ]
[ {speed}: 2.1 ]
[ {mind}: 1.2 ]
[ {vitality}: 1.6 ]
[ {energy}: 0.2 ]
[ Skills: {weapon creation 3},{gun mastery 7},{bow mastery 3},{persuasion 6},{stealth 5},{swimming 3},{knife mastery 4},{close combat mastery 5} ]
[ Abilities: {adrenaline rush}, {inheritance(new)} ]
[ A normal human in your past life had stats at :1 ]
Hm, not bad. I understand the skills but why is my energy stat so low?
“Hey system, why is my energy stat so low, why are there numbers after the skills, and what do my abilities do?"
[ It is because in your past life, your world has little energy so your body has little of it ]
[ The number after the skills indicate your mastery over those skills with 1 as beginner and 10 as master ]
[ Your first ability {adrenaline rush} lets you remove your limit for a short amount of time while your second ability {inheritance} lets you inherit all of your past life's stats, skills, memories, and abilities. This is a bonus the system gives to you for becoming the host; the bonus usually is randomly chosen from an item to an skill that will stay with your soul forever, so it very rare to get an ability ]
So I’m lucky, ha.
Yeah, I think I’m good, so let's do this.
“System I'd like to begin the reincarnation process now.”
[ Yes, good luck user, and if you has any questions, youu can ask me again through the system ]
“Oh yeah, what do I call you again?"
[ You can call me whatever name you like ]
“Then I gonna call you Alice."
[ Hm... I like it. Then Alice it is ]
“Wait, you like it? No, never mind. So, see you again!"
[ Good bye Host ]
Then the next thing I remember is a blinding amount of light and a sound of newborn crying. I guess that's me
