"Stop delaying and move!"
"You're lucky we've not sent you to the punishment hells!"
On the ninth level of hell, Ji Mu moved along looking down at his stomach. He remembered his eyes shutting and…
"Stop thinking so much you spirit! Drink the Mengpo Soup and hope your loved by reincarnation!"
Ji Mu looked around. This meant his friend most likely would receive his kidney, but he didn't expect to die. All around him were large reapers with scythes. He heard about death gods before and felt himself shrinking in stature.
His soul was just a normal soul.
He turned and saw the hells next to him. There was a sharp dagger mountain with blood punishments. It seemed like the stories about Diyu were true, and this soup was his last.
His memories would be gone and…
"Him! I choose him!"
"But King Yama are you sure?"
King Yama nodded his head and threw out his whip catching Ji Mu's soul. He didn't even realize his body didn't exist, and found himself in Youdo Capital City. In front of him, King Yama was looking at his file, and nodded his head.
"So… your friend lived, and shall be a father to his kids."
"You've done a good deed for him, and you're also very lucky."
Ji Mu was just a normal man who's father was a law professor at Yale. His mother was a nurse, and he was a twenty-eight-year-old student in medical school. He read about the kidney transplant procedure and was sure it'd be fine. Needless to say, he was dead because of his doctors.
"So… what have you chosen me for?"
King Yama stood up nearly ten thousand feet above Ji Mu. He was a god in the Netherworld Abyss and was in charge of Youdo Capital City. He dropped the file about Ji Mu down onto the table. On his head, three large horns were bravely poking the ceiling of the room.
"…Someone named Ji Ying is a god of extreme power and might. He decided to make a system for this new world, and wanted to select a royalty candidate."
"There are three types of worlds, the esoteric worlds, the powerless worlds, and the empowering worlds… You happened to be from the powerless world known as earth. However, a new empowering world was just built by Ji Ying and you are selected as the System's manager."
Ji Mu could only wonder what that meant. "You mean I'll be one of the first born?"
"Yes… but there will be a history already in place. Ji Ying ran something called a beta life cycle by the universe system… He created this system, and had it make people of a certain quality… Sorcerers were something Ji Wei Ying always loved… Hopefully, you can use the Sorcerer System and figure out the path to god hood…"
"There is no current path past the demi god stage for sorcerors, or divine sorcerer's stage. However, Ji Wei Ying made a system for you, be that as it may, it will be your brother… I hope you can take care of him on your new journey…"
Ji Mu turned his head to the side. 'Does this mean I will be able to keep my memories? If I can keep my memories, then will this be considered cheating? Will this god Ji Wei Ying really let me do this?'
Ji Mu was sat down on a chair as King Yama turned his book. This was the grimoire of reincarnation. It was a special book meant for wizards that cost over 2,000,000 system points! It cost almost as much as bringing the Sorcerer's system to life.
Additionally, they had to engineer the 2nd most powerful system in the universe, the universe system, to create a world with sorcerers and humans of the right build. It took Ji Wei Ying almost ten years away from his many wives to do this.
Now, though, Yama sat Ji Mu in front of the grimoire of reincarnation, and turned it to the last page.
"Look! Look at this spell and memorize it! With this spell, you will be able to connect with your older brother! If you happen to forget this spell, all these thousands of years of hard work are wasted! I will give you one hour to memories the five royal numerals in your head."
"As you can tell, this will mean you'll keep your memories. However, if you happen to forget this spell, you'll be doomed to always be common place. Don't let this pressure dissuade you, though, as it's actually quite easy…"
King Yama put the book in front of Ji Mu. His soul form was very normal and had only one life. If he was compared to the billions of humans, he was completely normal. Be that as it may, his mind as a doctor was incredibly solid. In under two seconds he nodded his head.
'So… the spell is divided into five different parts, and each was a pinyin character… As long as you make a mnemonic for it, its easy to remember. It was five words that started with A, Alab, Amac, Anad, Aoae, and Aqaf…. He noticed the pattern in the second and last letters making it easy to remember."
"Sure, sign me up for this new world! However, can you first tell me about this book?"
The grimoire of death was a rare opportunity for Qi Mu to study. If he was going to inherit his memories, why not chat with a god in the netherworlds? Such things made sense didn't it? He picked up the page and tried to remember its texture.
"Ah… this grimoire is the rarest grimoire of the millions of spell books. These were all developed in the Beta Universe stage… However, this book is the center of the magic in that universe! Be that as it may, when I meet you again, you will already know all its spells…."
"There is nothing else I can tell you, though, so you must get ready to reincarnate! I will let you choose one more page in my kindness, and grant you any wish for Earth…. Ji Wei Ying was waiting for an earthling to arrive, and it was one reason you're chosen. As a powerless world, it seemingly provided him with his second wife Della… However, their kid is quite the rascal…"
"Those two for a few nights had trouble making her, but I am getting off topic. As the king of the underworld, I hear things about the Third Realm from time to time…"
Ji Mu sighed and looked down at his small hands. He was tiny and felt himself barely managing to find a page. Despite that, in a few moments he found a page that spoke to him. It actually caused him to think he was imagining things.
At the next moment, he pointed his hand down and King Yama laughed.
"Ha… quite a nice spell you've chosen… Now, I hope you can get on your way."
Ji Mu looked up and tried to held out his hand.
At this moment, though, he realized he didn't have a hand.
The wind carried him off through the window and he immediately arrived in front of the Meng Po soup. With a slight sigh on his face, he drank it before a kind death goddess pushed him across the river of Helplessness.
He felt himself vanish….
….
King Yama, at this time, granted Ji Mu's wish of extending the human life span on Earth.
He also looked down at the spell Ji Mu had chosen.
It was a bit of an explosive spell, and he hoped it would be put to good use…
