As I stood there slowly comprehending what i going on. I know that I am in a white room with eleven other people and what seems to be a statue of a man reading a book, sitting on top of what seems to be a table made of woolen thorns.
When I finally understand what is going on, I feel nothing no feelings of sadness, joy and/or anger and other emotions. Just a feeling of nothingness and fullness, it's hard to explain but an example would be when you finish reading a book or when you finish watching your favourite series that kind of feeling.
Everyone here looks to be around the ages of fifteen to eighteen years of age. I would expect that there would be at least one person who is freaked out something but no, I talked to the two people beside me as because we were put into groups of three.
It would seem that the group I am in is the oldest in terms of age within the four groups. We introduced each other or rather we tried to it would seem that we can't say our old names but we still remember them, which to be honest is annoying because I really like my name but oh well I'm dead and there is nothing I can do about it.
this continued on for what seems like ten minutes. The topic of our talk ranged from how we died to what we could do. It seems like I wasn't the only one who had the a strict childhood, it would seem that both the people in my group were trained when they were young.
The one who started calling himself James is a tall caucasian lad well his only taller than me by an inch or two, he has brown hair with a slight blond taint in there. He looks like a person who lifted weights a lot but it didn't look off, his muscle proportion was fitting for his body proportion.
As for the other one he started calling himself Steven he was half european and half american don't which part tho. He was the tallest of the group with a full four inches taller than me. He was the thinnest of us three but he had muscles that is proportional his body, when I say the thinnest I meant he was thinner than me but he was the above average weight of a tall man. He has blond hair with a slight taint of black.
As for me I am as I have already stated a half european and half asian lad I am 6 foot tall. I have broad shoulders, my muscles are proportional to my body. I have black hair with a slight taint of brown.
It seems that James prefers making armour than weapons and Steven likes making accessories like rings, necklaces and scarves and so on.
I started calling myself Ruben by the way.
After what seems to be twenty minutes all the groups were gather infront of the statue. It surprised myself and the others because the quite statue started talking to us in a weird stony monotone voice that shows no emotions what's so ever, the voice befits it well.
Statue: Hello children my Name is A. I am a being that is more ancient and more powerful than those Gods your race have created and believed in since ancient times. I know all of you have questions of your own and I will just answer a very common question that is going on in your heads. The first of which is yes all of you are dead and the cause is by slipping on a banana peel, which was funny and no none of you can use your previous names as they were connected to your old world and your old life other than that you can remember everything.
Me: So why are we here anyways?
A: You all are here because, actually I don't know.
James: What do you mean you don't know?
A: I mean I really don't know because usually your souls are put into the cycle after it has been judged and cleansed, but it seems you twelve are weird.
So your saying that we are special cases then said one of the only girls in the group of teens. She had long fiery red hair that reaches to her hips.
A: Well yes that is what I am saying. Well what ever how about I just reincarnate you guys into a different world that I have just recently created.
Steven: That would be good but can you let us keep some of our memories and take away the unimportant parts like our memories of our families.
A: I could do that but is that what You really want?
Me: It could make it easier for us to transition from our world to the other one, as it would not chain us from advancing.
Can we think about before hand actually because it is a very important decision said one of the guys from the other all guy group he had a good build. He had a well combed brown hair with a tinge of light brown in there.
A: That would be fine just call me okay.
And then the statue disappeared from the room.
James: Okay so first thing first is introductions. I call myself James and I am eighteen years of age just turned eighteen a day ago.
Steven: I'm Steven just like James I am Eighteen years old tomorrow.
Me: I'm Ruben just like the other two I am eighteen years old today actually.
The guy who asked for some time: The name is Ben I am seventeen years old.
The guy on the left of Ben: The name is Lorcan Just like Ben I am seventeen years old.
The guy on the right of Ben: The name's Darren just like the other two I am seventeen years old.
ok this went for a while so let's skip it. The youngest names are Kevin, Matthew and Rebecca they are fifteen years old. The second youngest group is comprised of Fayth, Zaden and Arthur.
It took us I think approximately twenty minutes of thinking the pros and cons of the topic. We reached a conclusion and that was to get rid of the memories like family and friends and other useless stuff like computers and such but we will keep the knowledge and experiences tho.
----------
We called A again and the statue re-appeared but this time he didn't have a book but instead a phone made of stone.
A: So you guys have made your decision. Yes.
Me: Yes! we have but can you do us a favor by granting us three wishes each or three wishes for all of us.
A: All right I'll give all of you three wishes that is shared between all of you.
All of us: Okay. The first wish can you gives us three great blessings and nine minor blessings each that we individually choose, that will grant us a huge benefit.
A: Well That could mess up the balance but I already agreed so fine.
He snapped his fingers and twelve sets of pen and paper appeared
A: Just write the blessings down.
And we started to write them.
My three main blessings were Wind, Life and Death.
My minor blessings were split into Violence and peaceful. Peaceful blessings were Science(Apothecary, Experimentation, Medicine), Performance(Music, Dance), Exploration(Calligraphy, terrain management, Mini map), Mercantile(Bartering, Lying, Cheating, Seeing through lies/Detect Lies, Selling, Business mind and skills), Tamer/Breeder (Taming, Evolution, Breeding), Gatherer (Material knowledge/Material Analysis, Carving, Mining, Picking, Fishing, Planting) and the Violent blessings were Charisma(Leadership, Beauty, Politics, trickery[bribes and intimidation]), Crafting(Smithing, Cooking and Upgrading) and Combat(Weapon master, Martial artist, Hands On Learner, Tactics).
I asked the others what main blessings they chose and I didn't ask what their minor blessings were because we all agreed to pick majority of the blessings the same because it would give us more options.
When we gave our blessings to A he just sighed and windows appeared infront of us.

To Keep the balance a curse has been given to you. The curse increases the need of proficiency and experience to level up by 2.
----------------------------------------
[/hr]
When I finally finished ready the multiple boxes. I was really surprised as it seems like I got overpowered really fast but then the curse hits.
When the others also finished we started the conversation once again.
Matthew: Bloody hell this is amazing but the curse part isn't so bad but it will be very hard to level up.
Kevin: Hey it's better than nothing right. Look on the bright side we planned it well enough.
Me: True It could be have been a trick like in some stories I've read.
Fayth: It was good we had a plan on what to pick anyways.
A: Ok so what are your second wish and this time can't have that happening again sorry.
Ben: Damn. Oh well so our second wish is that we won't be controlled by anybody.
A: Ok thats easy enough and very understandable and your last wish is.
Zaden: To be able to communicate with eachother no matter what.
A: Hmm very practical and that is all she wrote.
Steven: Umm actually I don't mean to sound rude but We all agreed that it would be better if only three of us are in a world considering that if all of us are in a world well then balance is no more.
A: *Sigh* That is true but are all of you sure about this there are three other newly created worlds just recently actually. Ok so who is going with who?
Me: Ok then the group of three have already been made you know. We will go by age I guess, meaning Myself, James and steven will have the oldest of the created worlds.
After I said that we walked over to the small globe.
Lorcan: Then we will have the second oldest.
After saying that Lorcan, Darren and Ben moved to their globe.
Arthur: Then we will have the second youngest.
Then Himself, Zaden and Fayth walked over to their world.
Rebecca: Then that means we get the youngest.
Then the remaining three moved to their world.
---------------
Just before we left I asked A what kind of world we will be reincarnated. He said it will be a fantasy/sci-fi world where space adventure is passable and he also said that all of the worlds have the same setting maybe except for some differences but everything else is the same.
Then there was blackness and I entered slumber.
