...…Where…was I?
I found myself floating in the narrow darkness, a sense of disorientation overwhelmed me. It was clear that I had somehow arrived in an entirely different world. The unfamiliar surroundings and the purple void with drifting chunks of energy indicated that this place was unlike anything I had ever seen before. Confusion swirled within me as I tried to make sense of it all.
Suddenly, the field of flowers that had briefly appeared vanished, leaving behind a blinding expanse of white space. In front of me, a scarlet-red ball of light materialized. Initially startled, I cautiously observed Is movements, but it displayed no signs of hostility. Instead, it began scanning my soul, presenting me with a status screen that contained vital information.
Eagerly, I examined the status screen that illuminated before me:
Soul ID: #00A7239V92
Status: Soul Body
Karma: +330 KP
Lotter: 100 KP each
Shop: Open
Messages: One unread message
Intrigued by the unread message, I clicked on the corresponding icon. The screen promptly updated, revealing a message, specifically tailored to me:
Message: Soul Number #00A723V92, congratulations on being selected through the lottery to be reincarnated into a new world. You have been granted the opportunity to enter this new realm with your memories intact, Based on your Karma points, you can partake in lotteries, with each draw costing 100 points. Lotteries may give common, rare, epic, or legendary skills/titles based on the user's luck. Additionally, you have the option to utilize your remaining points to purchase minor perks from the shop.
Intrigued by the lottery system, I decided to invest 300 KP in three separate lotteries, leaving 30 K for potential purchases in the shop. Addressing the radiant ball of light, I requested, "Dear light ball, kindly use 300 KP to conduct three lotteries. Thank you!"
In response to my request, the red light ball pulsed with shining light. Similar to a volcano, it had a miniature volcano-like eruption, producing three smaller orbs that floated before me. Each orb emanated the colors purple, green, and gold. Hovering expectantly, they awaited my decision.
Overflowing with excitement and anticipation, I extended my hand and selected the first purple orb. Instantly, a surge of warmth enveloped me, and the orb vanished, leaving behind a new message on the status screen.
Message: Congratulations! You have acquired the skill of "Thought Acceleration". You now possess the ability to rapidly think at very fast speeds for a limited time. Proficiency varies with skill usage.
Encouraged by the first outcome, I turned my attention to the remaining two orbs, contemplating my next choice. I reached out and made contact with the green orb. Instantly, soothing energy coursed through me as the orb dissolved. Another message materialized on the screen:
Message: Congratulations! You have acquired the "Fast Learner" perk. This title allows you to acquire proficiency at a faster pace. The effect is permanent.
With only the golden orb remaining, I eagerly reached out, my hand trembling with anticipation. The thought of a legendary title was thrilling to imagine. As the orb made contact, an intense surge of energy surged through my entire being. The golden orb dissolved into shimmering dust that enveloped my body. Another message appeared on the status screen:
Message: Congratulations! You have acquired the title "Elegant Perfectionist". This extraordinary ability lets you remain elegant no matter what you do. You also become a perfectionist at heart.
What? Confusion filled my mind, which was soon replaced by anger and frustration. How could I gain such a strange title? Especially considering that it was ranked as a Legendary title.
With the lottery concluded, I turned my attention to the remaining 30 KP. Navigating to the shop on the status screen, I discovered a range of minor perks available for purchase.
'Shop:
Slightly Enhanced Smell -3kp
Slightly Enhanced Sight - 5 kp
Flexibility Enhancement -7 kp
Joker -3 kp
Boosted Immunity System-12 K.P
...
There were too many items in the shop. Scrolling briefly through the screen, I noticed that the prices ranged from being as small as 3 kp to as large as 80 Kp. Suddenly, I noticed a skill called REM Sleep worth 10 Kp. This skill lets you sleep for four hours and wake up refreshed as if you had a good night's sleep. I also bought a skill called Boosted immunity system for 12 Kp. It didn't sound like much, but a better immunity system meant better chances of survival against diseases and plagues. I also tried to buy 'Joker', but it showed an error, conflicting with my title, Elegant Perfectionist. Finally, I decided to spend my last 8 Kp on the perk 'Toxin Tolerance'.
Done with my purchases, the status screen changed to read,
'Soul ID: #00A7239V92

Taking a deep breath, I stepped forward, toward the red ball of light, and said," I'm ready, take me to the next life."
The red ball of light moved in a circular pattern around me, enveloping me in its shimmering red-colored residue. The world started shrinking and turned pitch black. My body, now translucent, was compacted into the shape of a perfect cube. From there, I blanked out.
