Chapter 2 - Chapter 2. from God to insect

Rein still drifting about in a deep dark void of nothingness. how long have I been drifting for? feels like an eternity to me; and where am I even at? Rein thought to himself.

He tried speaking but he couldn't hear a thing. I see so this void I'm in restricts sounds or maybe I just can't speak since I'm dead.

Hold on if I'm dead then how can I still have thoughts? I'm pretty sure I remember that wench talk about shattering my soul.; and I know for a fact she wouldn't let me go after destroying her precious dunaleif kekeke. Rein said as he chuckled to himself but yet again no sound could be heard.

There are two possibilities either 1. she wasn't fast enough to capture my soul since she was busy mourning her precious dunaleif or 2. She did try to capture me but something or someone interfered which let me escape Scott free. either way, I'm happy I survived that whole ordeal; wait does this even count as surviving if I'm practically dead? Just as Rein thought that he felt something pulling him in front up ahead.

Huh, am I moving? "What's happening?" Rein thought as he felt the pull getting stronger and couldn't fight against it. shit shit shit did she catch me after all? Am I gonna die a second time Rein thought as he looked up ahead he could see a white light. Huh, what's that light? That must be the exit he thought as he tried pushing himself closer to it but again couldn't propel himself forward since he was already being pulled into it.

Damn, it's way too blinding. Rein said as he got closer to the light while squinting his eyes.

*Fwoshp and he was sucked into it before he could process all his thoughts.

Ugh, my head hurts! Where am I anyway it's dark in here and it feels wet?

*Crack, crack...

Huh, what's happening? why are the walls crumbling?

*Cra..Crack.....

Huhh. Did I just hatch? Rein said looking at the leftover shell pieces on the floor in a dazed state. humans, don't hatch tho except Rein said before looking at his hands if they could even be called that as what he had were a pair of scythe-like appendages and six legs.

No No No please tell me I'm dreaming . I refuse to believe that I've Reincarnated as some type of insect! But how? God's can't be reincarnated and if they do manage to it's in the form of an ordinary human with no magic powers at all so why is my situation different?

Rein was puzzled as this question lingered in his mind he felt a sharp pain strike through his head. Agh Rein winced as he grabbed his head. Suddenly a blue window was floating in front of him

[Welcome monster no 4589]

Who me? A monster huh;thought I was an insect well that explains the scythe-like appendages and the fact I didn't notice but no insect is as big as a 5 month old human

(roughly around 64 cm)

[ Registering monster no 4589 in the monster archive...]

"The monster archive;" I've only heard of it once from Zoe all the monsters in Ledonia were created by the gods themselves while the church of Light led us to believe they were created by demons. and each monster created is registered in the monster archive so the system knows to make more when their numbers are dwindling.

[ ERROR! ERROR! Unknown interference discovered attempting system reboot°•°•°•°•°•°•]

[Error! Error! strong interference detected failed to register monster no 4589 in the monster archive]

Failed to register? Hahaha even as an insect guess I'm still powerful enough to render the system useless, Rein laughed putting his hands on his hips while laughing like some comic book superhero.

[ Like an insect is able to stop the system]

Huh? Who said that.

[ I did ]

Such a vague and annoying answer Rein thought to himself while looking left and right to try and spot who he was communicating with.

[ Host please refrain from belittling the system]

Huh, you can read my thoughts too? And what do you mean by host? what Are you some type of parasite?.

[ I am no parasite and You are my host are you not?]

Ok, enough of the nonsense show yourself immediately!

*Fwoshp *vrrrrrrrr

Ding.

[ Allow me to introduce myself, dear host, I am the highly advanced energy manipulation system that has been watching over the host since his first reincarnation.]

Rein was stunned to see another floating window except this time it was a golden colored one with an intricate and stunning design.

Watching over me since my first Reincarnation? What do you mean by first Reincarnation? And why am I only learning of your existence now.

[I have always been with the host with parts of me sealed as the host did not have enough divine energy to access me.]

Divine energy, Do you mean divinity? does that mean you were the reason I was able to touch and manipulate divinity even though I was a mortal?.

[ Affirmative ]

Wait so you're saying you were the reason I was able to manipulate divinity?.

[Affirmative]

If you were then why haven't I heard from you, and what do you mean by first reincarnation?.

[ As stated earlier host did not have enough divine energy to access me so only parts of the system's function could be utilized as there was no way of communicating with the host.]

"I'm a bit confused. How am I able to access you now? I don't have any divinity left, so what's different?"

[Indeed the host has no more divine energy because all of it was absorbed by the system as the host's life was in danger from absorbing an excess amount of divine energy from the divine weapon dunaleif which enabled the system to become fully activated]

I see then what about that first reincarnation thing you mentioned earlier?

[Apologies but the system cannot answer such questions as the host doesn't have the required rank to know]

Why do I need qualifications to know what happened in my own life, even if I don't have the required rank?

[ Apologies, the system cannot answer your question until you reach the required rank to access the information. Failure to comply can result in severe consequences.]

Severe? How bad are we talking.

[IMMEDIATE EXTERMINATION!]

.....

"I, I see then what do I need to do to access that information?"

[ "The host should strive to become stronger and surpass the level of a god."]

You make it sound so easy but it seems you're forgetting I'm an insect now, how am I supposed to rise above the level of a god?

[ Worry not host as I am here to assist you on such matters ]

"Really how are you going to help me?".
