''......I get to pick what I will be?'' confused as to what exactly is going on I stare at the 'screen' for a moment. ''Well it's game-like at least, that will help me get the hang of it better.'' I try to reassure myself as I begin scrolling through the Racial options Onscreen.
''Does this mean that I died for the first time?'' I wonder out loud as I have never seen this screen before & I don't believe that I was some weird half-wolf hybrid thingy in my life.
''I wonder if this means that reincarnated people live on Earth?'' I can't help but chuckle at the thought of some of those old legends holding truth to them.

''This is just stupid!!...'' Is all I manage to get out before an Intense and violent pain envelops me, seemingly crushing my body, cracking me skin and shredding my insides.
I can't even scream as an Immeasurable amount of pain strips me of my senses(Other than pain obviously), my mind seems to be at a brink, a precipice of...something.
Then I knew no more.
----------------------------------------
-Rossa
A siren whirled as red lights flashed brightly against the cold metal walls, the sound of footsteps echoing as people ran about, frantically trying to repair the system that this..this being had broken.
''Who are you!?'' Still transfixed on the Image before me, I try to think of an explanation on what I have just witnessed. Something that shouldn't be possible just occurred with a low tier Soul, not only that but it was only a human in its last life, so there should be no residual power at all.
''WHAT ARE STANDING AROUND FOR!!? COME HELP!!'' a co-worker shouted at me.
----------------------------------------
''Ughhhh...my heeead'' I can't seem to think straight and my head feels like it just might break, ''I feel so...strange..'' I say to myself as I try to open my eyes, ''Why does everything hurt so much?'' With quite a bit of effort, I manage to open my eyes.
I seem to be laying against a stone& looking around, I also seem to be in some sort of forest with tall and lush, green Trees filling my vision.
''What..what happened to me?'' I speak soundlessly against the cool breeze that sweeps through the trees.
I lift my hands up to reassure myself that...I...I stare at my hands in wonder, they're not any larger or smaller nor are they different in color or in possession of more fingers, but there are a dark brown ridges running along where the bones in my hand are, a trace along them with my finger reveals that these strange ribbed-like plates are truly part of my hand and not some strange residue.
''They sort of feel like petrified wood...yet I can still 'feel' through them....how strange'' I say out loud, lost in thought.
Strange as it is, it is mine and I had better check on the rest of myself to be sure nothing else is strange...
