Void, a place where there is no air, no sound, no colour, no physical matter, no laws of nature, physics, chemistry and finally there is no time. At this moment Sean(Pheonix) was floating as he looked around in the void. "Where am I. Wasn't I dead". He felt like he was standing in a vacuum tube. As he was looking around he suddenly realised that he could see. As he looked down to see himself, he could see his outline however when he tried to feel himself by touching his hand with his palm, his palm went through his hand. He could not feel anything nor could he hear a thing. He continued to float around for what felt like an eternity when suddenly a space warp appeared in the void an he felt his soul getting pulled inside the space. As he could not escape this he allowed himself to get pulled without fighting it. Then everything went blank for Pheonix as he felt like stuffed inside a bag which had a weird liquid. He could also feel a heartbeat which was not his but which was near him. The difference between the void which he experienced previously to the darkness he was in now was that his sense of touch and hearing has returned.
Meanwhile...
"Phew, finally the job is done. I can now return to my place" said God Ravel as he was travelling through space from netherworld to the Realm of God by setting the coordinates in a private space transmission inscription which he had inscribed inside a grave to secretly travel back and forth to netherworld and Realm of Gods. The process of stealing a soul without the netherworld guards knowing it is intricate as he had to steal the soul before it could get marked by the guards. After a soul gets marked by the netherworld guards using their talisman, any soul which is stolen and taken out of the universe will alert the netherworld realm priest who oversee the process of rebirth who will send reapers to retrieve the soul while killing the soul stealer.
God Ravel returned to his mansion in the Realm of Gods and read the report placed in his office submitted by truck-Kun detailing the process of killing the target as well as a video which was taken by truck-Kun. As God Ravel watched the video of the entire operation, he was dumbfounded and started laughing as he had high expectations from this soul. He also read the other reports in his office mostly regarding other reincarnated individuals in different multiverse while having a system to help them. These reports were prepared by other lesser gods like Goddess Kara who either lacked money to maintain the cost of living in the Realm of Gods or had their money stolen by other gods. In general Gods of reincarnation were not supposed to reincarnate more than one individual along with a system at a time, however God Ravel found a shortcut which helped him in maintaining multiple reincarnated individuals with systems. This shortcut was similar to maintaining different accounts by a single individual under different name in chat groups or Facebook or email id's etc. This idea set apart God Ravel from rest of Gods of Reincarnation after all many could cultivate Samsara technique as Dao but the one who is most innovative and daring in his imagination will shine apart from his peers. It was after all inspiration and imagination which developed our civilisation, otherwise we would have continued to be as cavemen eating raw meat.
Generally when a God of reincarnation decides to give a system to a target, the God is required to operate as the system manager, providing help to its user. However God Ravel created proxy manager by having lesser gods provide cheap labour for him. This helped God Ravel to I,prove his divinity by leaps and bounds as he is operating a total of 15 systems using proxy managers. If other higher Gods of Reincarnation knew of this they would have killed him by joining hands as he was threat to the balance of their group.
Meanwhile Pheonix who has been in darkness for what seemed to be forever felt a strong push from the place he had grown for quite some time. During this period of darkness he could hear people talk from which he learned that he is inside a person's womb as a baby. He also learned that the woman who was carrying him was one of the wives of Walker family clan head. They were one of the clan which held power in Shell city. He also heard about his half brother who was born between the clan head and his first wife being a Warrior. He also heard of his half sister born between the clan head and his third wife being a Warrior as well, while the two sons born from the second wife are knights who are being trained at the local church. Pheonix also heard about the a class called mages being present which are generally born rare or between people of higher pedigree such as clans with bloodline.
As he finally saw light after a long period of darkness he felt his eyes sting from sudden brightness and he closed his eyes. "It is a boy, my lady. He looks a lot like you" said the lady doctor whom the clan head sought service from whenever his clan members fall sick, injured or when the ladies in the clan are pregnant. "Show him to me. Let me have a look" said a weak voice as she held the baby which was in her womb for 10 months.
The room was surrounded by three wives of the clan head as well as their children. "You should get some rest Kristina, give him to me, let me have a closer look" said Sandra the first wife of the clan head. Kristina who was tired listened to her and gave her baby to Sandra. while Sandra held the baby, Veronica who is the second wife and Tessa who is the third wife came and looked at the child. They played lightly by touching the cheek of the baby. The eldest son who is also the son of first wife Wendell Walker looked at his baby brother with curiosity, while the eldest daughter Emily Walker who is the daughter of the second wife looked at the baby with adoration, as she planned to cuddle with the baby, thinking of ways to dote on her baby brother. The two sons of third wife Liam walker and Chris Walker were looking at the baby thinking that they would have a new playmate. At this time the door opened with a bang as a sturdy man with handsome looks came in. "Dear, be silent the baby is sleeping" said Sandra as she stared angrily at her husband, the clan head. "Sorry I was just excited to see the baby. I heard it was a boy from the doctor. Come on show my son to me." said Clan head who was called John Walker as he strode to Sandra and got the baby from her arms and had a close look at his son. Pheonix who was now a baby, even though he could not open his eyes to look at his mother and father he was still conscious of what was happening.
" What name have you decided to give the child, honey?" asked Veronica as others nodded. John looked at his now sleeping son and Kristina who was looking at his face while lying down exhausted from delivery said " His name will be Sean Walker" as Pheonix thought that the name Sean Walker was not bad as it was his original name back on earth, though no one knew that as everyone only called him Pheonix.
