I was a soldier, a soldier of the Galactic Empire. As an orphan, I had no aspirations or goals in life. Once I turned 15, I was drafted into the army. The Galactic Empire ruled the milky way galaxy and had been at war with the Red Banner Empire for the last 1,000 years. Billions if not trillions of soldiers died in the many skirmishes or deadly battles that occurred over the years.
When I turned 30, I unexpectantly survived 15 years of battles and skirmishes. I did not have much hope of living past 35. After all, more than 50% of the soldiers die in each skirmish. I can consider myself lucky to have always made the other 50%. At 40 years old, The Galactic Empire has been driven to the brink of death. They chose a final assault utilizing their last force of resistance against the Red Banner Empire. Unfortunately, I participated in the final resistance.
Using my years of knowledge and experience, I knew this would be my final battle. The Red Banner Empire sent trillions of soldiers to sweep through the last resistance of the Galactic Empire. Our numbers were limited to 2 billion. Unfortunately, we were sent to our deaths. I took a shot to the chest causing my body to disintegrate.
That was my last memory.
------------------------------------------------
In a desolate region of the universe, many planets can be seen orbiting a large red star. The planets orbiting around the star had one thing in common. They all contained no life. Perhaps the heat flowing from the star was too overpowering that each planet was unable to produce life.
The planet closest to the large red star was very small compared to the giant star. It was like looking at an ant on the moon. The comparison was too large and since it was the closest to the star, its outer layer was all dry rock. No signs of life can be seen because the temperature was too overwhelming.
At this moment, this small planet seemed to gain a mind of its own. Its core started illuminating brighter and brighter, causing the planet to shake. The planet fell out of orbit and instead of being the first planet next to the burning star, it became the fourth. It gradually fell back in orbit but its distance was further away causing the planet to cool down.
The core of the planet seemed to have a mind of its own, gradually peeling off its outer layer. The outerlayer of rock and dust peeled off causing the planet that before was seen as desolate and unable to produce life contained water. Water was hiding underneath the layer of rock protected from the heat. The shredded layer of rock turned into sand and produced four bodies of land.
--------------------------------------------
On that desolate planet, a boy with a transparent body was laying on the sand. His eyes started twitching before gradually opening. The boy's eyes were as bright as the ocean and his hair was as free as clouds.
"Where am I?"
Alexander woke up from his splendor. He observed the land void of life and wondered how he was here. He remembered fighting in a war where he was meant to die but somehow he was here. Alive with no injuries or pain.
"Why are my hands see-through?" Alexander noticed his body and the differences. He presumed he was a soul and probably dead. His hands and body were smaller than he remembered.
In the next second, a screen appeared in front of his eyes.
[Planetary Conquering System]
[Shop]
[Life Forms]
[Essence]
[LP =1000]
Alexander first clicked on the shop. The shop had all kinds of items ranging from weapons to cosmetics and each item could only be bought with LP. LP is also known as Life Points. Next, he clicked on Life forms and could see a large list of plants humans, and even as far as dragons. There was also a custom lifeform. Plants were usually the cheapest to purchase while dragons and other lifeforms with more substance were more expensive.
The next tab was Essence.
Essences were;
Martial Essence
Magical Essence
Void Essence
--------
So far there were only three essences to choose from. The cheapest was Martial Essence since it was only 10,000 LP. I'm guessing they would give some sort of special abilities.
At this moment, Alexander has just finished observing the menu and wondered what he could achieve with all this. An orb started falling from the sky and slowly appeared in front of Alexander.
[Hello planet soul #538584920349283
I am the Universal Soul. My purpose in traveling here today is to inform you about your duty. As a planetary soul, your purpose is to create life on your planet and gradually gain LP. The war to conquer the universe is vast and dangerous. Bring your planet to another level and create an intergalactic empire with the purpose of conquering as much space as possible.
As a new planet, I will give you 20,000 years of protection. To develop well in this timeframe, otherwise, another will conquer you.]
The orb instantly vanished into particles after explaining.
"Well, this is interesting."
I am a soul and this planet is my main body. So, I would have to develop an army in the limited time frame in order to survive. As a planet soul, Alexander has many innate abilities. The first ability is teleportation. He has the ability to teleport anywhere he desires on his territory. He can also see his planet in a 360-degree view.
"So I have four continents, an ocean, but no plants or any signs of life." Alexander knew he would have to start from scratch and build from the base up. Using my previous lives basic knowledge, I presume that I would need to buy bacteria and plants before moving onto sea-life.
