Death really is super weird.
One minute your just walking down the street one day minding your own business, then BAM! You drop dead.
Well that's at least what happened to me, I think I had a brain hemorrhage or something. It can happen at any time to anyone apparently.
But then something straight out of a fairytale happened, I opened my eyes again. But this time in a new body in what seemed to be a new world and it was unlike anything I've ever seen!
—————————-
The void- (narrators prov)
In the endless dark in which all souls traverse on their new paths to life a singularity occurred.
A single soul, one with a small but very bright light, raced through void.
Streaking past countless galaxies and spanning across endless eons this soul traveled, until it finally departed from the void arriving right outside a beautiful planet.
Magnificent colors streaked across its horizon, with endless blues, pinks, and purples shining all across and wrapping this massive sphere in a protective membrane.
The sheer size of it easily covered 500 earths and possibly more.
Slowly seeping past the protective barrier of the planet the soul made its way deeper, flying past countless wonders. It swept through vast and majestic mountain ranges which peaks soured to the heavens.
It's unending forest flourished all across the plane with massive trees teetering with all sorts of different life forms.
Through deep oceans of water and fire, and through scorching deserts and vast frozen fields this soul traveled.
Until finally in a small town of the outskirts of a powerful empire, did the soul stop and decend into a little cottage.
Inside was a boy, who seemed to be near the age of 16 was loosing the battle for his life in bed, he was sickly white with sweat pouring from every corner of his body.
It was very clear he was deathly sick, and the battle inside was all but over.
Just as the body of the boy stopped moving and his soul was leaving his body the new soul moved, with quick procision it injected right into the boy.
A few minutes passed by until finally the boys fingers twitched, then with a sudden jult he quickly shot up from his sleeping position before letting out a small guttural groan before slidding back down.

Ellio figured out that sitting up quickly was not a good idea, he couldn't even start to describe what he was feeling right now.
First of all he new he died, but now, things seem to have taken a different turn.
Here he was eyes open, body very much in pain and many, many questions running through his brain.
With a grunt he managed to slid himself up into a sitting position. He seemed to be in a small room, large enough for one small straw bed which he was currently sprawled out on.
A small cabinet made out of cheap wood was shoved into a Conor with a candle still burning atop of it.
That was pretty much it, there was a doorway with what seemed to be straw and grass woven together hanging from it to act as a door as well.
Well I thought I've always wanted to live a pretty crazy life but this is really getting out of hand!
Don't tell me, did I end up in a different body or something I can very clearly feel the differences although they are not hindering in anyway.
Slowly but surely the pain is also getting less and less too I might be able to move around in a little bit, huh it would be really funny if this was like one of those novels and I got a system or somethi-

Wha- what the hell!!!! A SYSTEM, no way you gotta be joking!
The pain ellio was experiencing earlier quickly washed away jolting upright he stared at the golden rectangular screen that floated infront of him.
Ellio quickly reread the text again to make sure he was seeing it right, before a bright smile appeared on his face.
It seems his dreams are finally coming true, dying and coming back to life doesn't seem so bothersome anymore, his parents died when he was very young and he was taken care of by his wonderful grandparents until they passed along too.
Although he was still very sad about it he had many great years and no more connections to his old life, moving on is exactly what he needs right now.

The golden screen quickly updated after that new string of text, many columns and stat sheets opened up as well as a full avatar of what seemed to be his new body in the center of the screen.
Although hard to measure his height, his new body had a fair and seemingly ethereal look.
Golden eyes that seemed to sparkle brilliantly in the dark room shined out, with a angular and sculpted face, a prefectly proportioned nose and golden curls that draped down gracefully onto his face.
With jade white skin and nice plump lips he screamed innocent and adorable, with these looks he knew he would have to be careful around others in the future.
Being beautiful can often be a curse just as much as a blessing.
Looking further around the screen he quickly called up his stat and skill page.

Ellio couldn't help but sucking a cold air of breath, he might not know much about this world, but he did know that he was pretty overpowered.
(Ding— Host has gained full operation, please visit the inventory page so host can integrate the memory shard extracted from the previous soul!)
Tilting his head slightly upward Ellio let out a deep sigh, when you put it like that way it really makes it sound horrible he grumble well might as well get it over with.
Quickly looking back to his system screen navigated towards what seem to be the inventory page quickly clicking on it his screen changed.
Rows of Boxes filled the screen, going from 10 across to 10 all the way down. In the first box lay a sparkling crystal, almost completely translucent like a diamond yet glowing with a soft radiance.
With a single though the crystal appeared in Ellios hand, floating just a few centimeters above his palm.
Almost if driven by instinct Ellio crush the crystal in his palm, with a crisp sound of glass shattering it seemed to denigrate into a fine flowing powder that seep through his nose up into his brain.
