'Oh yeah my very own system, wow I feel so excited. But also why can't I see anything?' I wake back up from what I can only assume was a spacial transfer induced sleep. It's pitch black and warm..wait where am I!

{Welcome to the custom support system}

{System type universe detected would you like to temporarily merge systems? Attention: merging with universe system will allow you to gain the benefits of said system while in universe, upon exit you keep what you gained but lose these benefits. Universe system benefits currently detected: Class system, skill gain 10,000%, skill strength and affects: low-mid, xp requirements decreased, general strength per level decreased.}
'Wow that's a lot, can I pick and choose or do I have to take it all?' Interesting, despite me not requesting it my system can merge into system type universes temporarily.
{Host can control: xp requirement decrease, general strength per level decrease, and skill level up to strength ratio turning skill strength and affects into mid-high.}
'Uh yeah do all that' So basically I'll level everything slower then the people of this universe but will be stronger for it.
{System merging confirmed…. Merging complete}
'Uh ok then let's try this… status!'

'Well that's a lot to take in… first off I'm zero years old?' What does that even mean?
*Ding*
{Searching….. found…. Hosts physical body was conceived 6 days ago, would you like to update your status to show days?}
'Uh yes please at least until I turn 1 years old' Jeez six days? I'm basically just a clump of cells at this point.
{Acknowledged… updating… updated}
'Great so judging by my age… I'm still in the womb? Fuck I was hoping to wake up as I was being born or something. Wait if I'm just a clump of cells then how can I think and feel and all that?'
{Searching… found…Title [Soul Sensor] is allowing the hosts soul to function as a brain as well as giving passive feedback to you about your environment}
'Wait so I'm basically using spirit sense from the cultivation novels' Well that's pretty cool I guess, In some novels spirit sense can get pretty over powered.
{Searching for 'spirit sense'…. found…. hosts analogy has been confirmed to be correct}
Cool but usually spirit sense has range right? Is it cause I don't have any energy so it's limited to being extremely close?
-3rd person POV-
"Hey there Miranda" said a smiling man in a lab coat "Back again already?"
"Well you know how it is in my line of work without a competent life mage nearby" A woman in heavy make up wearing a cloak responds.
"Aye, well I assume you want the usual? You know what to do just lay down on the table." The man begins to put on a pair of black gloves with strange circles and runes stitched into them.
"Just make it snappy every minute I spend here is a potential customer gone to a competitor" The woman lays down on the table while snapping back.
The man walks over to the table and places both gloved hands above the woman's womb, the stitching on the gloves begins to glow grey while several glowing grey circles superimpose themselves in the air.
After several minutes the man looks over at the woman and says "Miranda you aren't trying to scam me out of mana right?"
"What? No, why even ask that?" The woman responds looking confused and slightly worried.
"Well all the mana is just being absorbed? It's like you have a mana gathering tool in you?" The man starts to look at Miranda with suspicion.
"Look John all I want is to have the thing killed and expelled so I can continue my work, I'm not trying to scam you into filling a mana artifact!" Miranda says with a slightly worried look upon her face.
"Alright…alright I believe you, I can sense the life and everything just the mana treatment isn't working. I'll poor all I got into and if it doesn't work then come tomorrow and we'll try again alright?" The man, John responds with a confused and also somewhat excited look on his face.
John puts his gloved hands back above Miranda's womb, the circles appear again glowing more intensely this time. After thirty seconds John begins to get pale and sweat starts to drip down his face. A minute later John falls back into a chair, deathly pale and sweating profusely.
"What the fuck? Why is this happening John? Is there something wrong with me?! Do I have a mana leach or am I carrying some kind of demon!! What's wrong." Miranda looking well and truly worried now begins to question hysterically.
"Y-you just come back tomorrow. Either I kill it or I'll pay you enough to cover the amount you'll lose while carrying it." John looking slightly better replies.
"You better John, because nobody except a few very weird nobles want to buy a night with a pregnant woman!" Miranda snaps back with an angry expression.
-Mc POV- (right before this interaction)
It has to be my lack of energy, I've tried everything. I tried sensing my inner energy, nothing to see there. I tried meditating, no result. My abilities must be soft locked till I acquire a form of energy.

==================================
'Well that's interesting' I wonder if I can use my spirit sense now?
But first comes selecting my class. Thinking about the locked elemental affinities, why I encountered death energy, what the percentages mean and all that can wait till later.
So, obviously all the ones that need a body are out, right now I'm just a soul attached to a clump of random cells. Second I don't really want to mess with my race, Voidling Mind-breaker is out cause that sounds like a monster more then anything. And while Soul Phoenix sounds cool I don't really want to be a bird. So I guess that just leaves Soul mage apprentice.
*Ding*
{Class [Soul Mage apprentice] chosen}
{Skill [Soul Manipulation] gained}
{Skill [Soul Resistance] gained}

{Skill [Soul Shield] gained}
{Class override: Tier 2 Element 'Soul' is unlocked}
{Stat gain per level: +10 WIL +5 NRG +5 WIS +5 Free SP)
{Skills [Soul Projector] and [Soul Manipulation] can create skill [Soul Sense] using Title [Soul Sensor] as a base. Create?}
'Ok so four new skills, an elemental affinity from Tier 2 and 25 points worth of stats per level. I wonder if that's good or not?' Hmm… usually in these system type worlds 10 in every stat is a normal adult human. So going by that this stat gain is rather good but this is reality not a novel so I could be way off mark.
And finally should I create that skill, I'm leaning towards yes as the title doesn't do me much good anyway. Maybe the skill is way better.. 'Yes create the skill'
{Acknowledged… skill [Soul Sense] created title [Soul Sensor] removed}
So let's check my skills 'Status'
{Host intentions show a desire to see only skills… please acknowledge Status: skills to see only skills}
'Oh? That's nice, does status: affinities and status: stats work the same?'
{Yes}
'Ok that's nice, status: skills'
==================================
-Skills- (Collapse)
[Gamers Mind]
[Voids Blessing]
[Soul Projection]
[Soul Manipulation]
'The soul is just another source of energy why wouldn't I try and use it?'
•Allows the host to manipulate the soul energy of themselves and others.
•Allows the host to interact with the souls of others and themselves using various attributes.
•At higher levels allows the host to control and manipulate the souls of themselves and others.
[Soul Resistance]
'Those who use an energy should be able to resist it to an extent'
•Take 1% less damage from soul based attacks.
•Recover from soul damage 1% faster.
[Soul Illusions]
'The soul is the core of one's being, trick the soul and the flesh shall follow soon after'
•This spell will cause the target to fall into an illusion of what they most desire.
•As the skill level increases so does the realism of the illusion.
[Soul Shield]
'The soul is the core of one's being, naturally it should be protected'
•Set up a shield using one's very soul, the shield can be designed however the host wishes. The shield will only be as strong as the host believes it to be, other things such as counter attacks and even diversion affects can also be integrated into the shield. Keep in mind that even if the host believes the shield to be invincible with all their soul someone with an incredibly superior skill in soul manipulation or someone with 10 times the hosts energy levels could still break it.
[Soul Sense]
'I may have lost my eye sight but my soul sees more then I ever could'
•Allows the host to 'see' everything in a :skill level times 1.5: meter radius around them.
•Sub-skill: [Soul Sight]
•Allows the host to see a physical representation of someone else's soul.
•Allows the host to see and track someone's soul signature manually.
•Host can see soul energy.
==================================
Hmm interesting, my priorities should be to create my soul shield then. With my knowledge of fantasy stuff this should be a breeze to make.
Let's see do I just think about it to use it? '[Soul Shield]'
'W-what?' All of a sudden I got transferred into a big white space surrounding a wispy transparent silver ball.
*Ding*
{Notice this is you soul space}
'Oh so the ball is my soul I guess? And I just think to make the shield?'
{Affirmative}
Yeah I can do that. So, what do I want? I guess let's go a physical shield first. An outer layer made out of a Proto-Adamantium and Dimeritium alloy, an inner hexagonal patterned layer made from a Vibranium and Necrodermis alloy, and finally an inner core layer made from Scrith, Uru and Orichalcum.
The inner core naturally has to be engraved with protection arrays and runes that will be enhanced by the magic metals used in it. Best part about this is I don't have to understand it just know that it works. So naturally I'm going to believe that the runes carved on it create a mix between the defensive array created by the sanctums from the MCU and every sect protection array from all the xianxian novels I've read. This means that it's virtually invincible against energy threats and it will also counter attack using array formations and the 'energy's of heaven and earth' and all sorts of xianxian bullshit.
Moving on from the defensive sphere, time to form some extra defenses, like three custom Death Star shaped battle stations made out of the same alloy mixes as the main sphere using a time trapped supernova as an energy core. Firing celestial bronze and imperial gold coated physical weapons made to kill immortals and ignore energy. While also using powerful energy weapons made harnessing the power of stars as laser beams. And finally all three work together to create a matrix around the main core made out of singularities spliced into laser beams.
Then back to magic I placed a Fidelius Charm over the location of my soul, however with no secret keeper around I had to spilt the secret into 4 parts, 1 on each of the 3 battle stations and the 4th hidden beneath a memetic agent that causes the target to ignore it. They need all four to figure out the location of my soul.
And finally to cap it all off since I'm immune to mental affects might as well put some of those in here. So the whole space buzzes with the same kind of noise as fluorescent lights, this noise will slowly drive listeners insane. Also I did away with the plain white walls of the soul space instead it's now filled with patterns that are all memetic cognito-hazards. There are even some memetic kill agents.
And with that I was done. It was time to get back to my room, I mean womb.
