Zavier knew that this void was only a momentary stop, a transition point in between his past and next life. He only had the time to thank the cosmic consciousness before he felt his mind spin as if in a whirlpool that was trying to tear it apart. He felt intense pain in his head which caused him to blank out at some point.
He couldn't remember exactly when the world stopped spinning and he finally came to his senses but when he woke up, he was in an unfamiliar body with an unfamiliar set of memories. This freaked him out somewhat.
He had never thought that the rebirth mentioned by the cosmic consciousness meant taking over someone else's body like an invader. He felt uncomfortable doing something like that. It felt somehow evil to him.
It took some effort on his part to acknowledge that the body that he was in had belonged to someone else previously. But he still couldn't get used to the fact that the face that he was used to seeing in the mirror every day would have to change from that moment onwards as if he had become someone else.
Not only was he taking over his appearance, but he was also taking over all the previous owner's memories, his life, his relationships, his enmities and all his struggles.
The first thing that Zavier did when he could finally understand the scenario that he was in was that he scoured through all the memories of the previous owner in an attempt to understand the new world that he had arrived to and the kind of life that the previous owner had led.
As soon as he tried to understand the memories of the previous owner, they started pouring into his brain like an unbarred flood or an unstoppable avalanche. Before he knew it, he was fast forwarding through the life of the previous Zavier Adam. This was the name of the previous owner of the body that Zavier was currently occupying.
After taking some time to process all the information stored in the memories of the previous owner, Zavier was finally able to put together some basic information regarding his new identity.
The previous owner was named Zavier Adam and was about 18 years old, same age as he would have been if he hadn't died in his past life.
The cosmic consciousness had really made it look like he had started over from where it had all ended for him in the past life.
Zavier Adam had no parents as the both of them had died in a war in the past when he was very young. Due to that, he had been living in the villa of his uncle Val Adam.
Val Adam was a marquess who was usually busy in the political circle. Social calls, political conferences, devolving emerging conspiracies and insurgencies, running campaigns, and ruling his territory took up most of his time. This was the reason that the Marquees was rarely home.
The only ones who were left in the house were three of his relatives, two cousins and an aunt. One of his cousins was older than him and was named Kacie who was 19 years old, a year older than him. The younger cousin was a year younger than him and was named as Nadia.
The aunt was quite young and was only 2 years older than Zavier. She was named Valarie.
Other than these three relatives there were also two more individuals in the house. One was a maid who was the same age as Zavier and the other was an old butler who had long since entered his mid-forties and had been the butler of the household for the most of his life.
The bedroom where he had opened his eyes was exquisitely decorated. Anyone who could have witnessed such a sight would have definitely thought of how grandly and elegantly the room had been arranged.
Each and every decoration seemed costly and was likely to be unavailable to the commoners throughout their life for the lack of necessary funds.
Just his bedroom was enough to determine that the family that was currently sheltering him was an aristocratic family and not only that but also the status of the Marquess was definitely not low in the Kingdom. He must have been very high up the food chain for being able to divulge in such extravagance.
He could not help but thank the cosmic consciousness once again for giving him not only a healthy body this time but also a rich family background so that he would have a good starting point.
Zavier then decided that it was time for him to activate the multi-system once again. He had to embark on his path towards the peak as soon as possible. He was incomparably excited.
He tried to remember how to start the system and felt incomparably foolish for not asking the cosmic consciousness about how to start the so-called multi-system. The last time it had happened on its own.
Before he could start cursing on in the inside, he heard a familiar ding* sound and with it came the familiar screen.
[User Zavier Adam is welcome to the Multi-system]
[What system would you like to choose first?]
Zavier thought for a while but wanted to start all the systems at the same time. He didn't want most of his systems lagging behind the ones he chose.
"I want to start all the systems at once." Zavier said to the system out loud as a probing attempt.
[The user's brain capacity does not meet the minimum standard for activating all the systems at once.]
[User is advised to rethink his decision.]
"What would happen if I continued with my decision and decide to activate all the systems at once?"
[The user's mind would be rendered useless, unable to calculate the smallest of things. It may also affect bodily function because most of the brain capacity of the brain would be utilized in managing the systems.]
What the system said about the bodily function was the last nail on the coffin. What he was most afraid of was another life of disability and sickness. As soon as the system told him the consequences, Zavier decided to listen to the advise of the system without a second thought.
"Then what do you suggest is my limit?"
[User is advised to start with two systems first. That is what your brain can handle without affecting the normal working at the moment. This will also help your in familiarizing yourself with the operation of the systems first. Only with the basic understanding of the systems can you begin to develop them further in the right direction.]
Zavier this time felt that the advise of the system seemed quite reasonable and logical this time and agreed at the spot.
The only dilemma that he was stuck in this time was the systems that he was going to choose first.
