I woke up in the middle of the night, and it was so good and relaxing that I couldn't even recall the last time I slept like that.
The room, where my baby bed stood, was illuminated by the moonlight streaming through the window. Laying in my bed, I gazed at the sky; the stars were shining and twinkling. It was so clear and beautiful, unlike anything I had ever seen before, even in my previous life.
Gazing at the starry sky, I remembered the voice that I heard in the void, feeling extremely grateful to it. All of these unbelievable things that happened to me were most probably the work of whoever that voice belonged to.
As I was sending my gratitude to the voice for giving me a second life and a family, suddenly a voice popped into my head that seemed like the same one that I heard in the void but not quite the same.
[Congratulations, Host. The Reincarnation process has been successful.]
I was surprised by the sudden words inside my head but this time I did not get startled by the voice and tried to raise my voice to ask something but just a baby's giggle came out.
'Shit, I forgot I was in the body of a baby.' I cursed myself for forgetting that and now I was feeling embarrassed.
[...]
[If host wants to have a communication, host just needs to think inside your mind.]
'Oh!' I was genuinely surprised and terrified at the same time by the statement that the voice just dropped out of nowhere, and I mean who wouldn't be if someone just casually came up to you and said, 'Hey, you know what, I can hear your thoughts!'
Anyway, I tried to think in my mind what I wanted to ask, following the voice's words.
'Are you the one that reincarnated me?'
[No. Host was reincarnated by the God of life and death, as host's soul was special and selected for reincarnation among billions and billions of other souls.]
I was flabbergasted at this new information that the voice just said casually. I am, no -- more specifically -- my soul is so special that it got selected by a literal 'GOD' among billions of other souls. I mean, how crazy is that?
'S-so why did the 'God of life and death' choose my soul among billions of others? Am I really so special?' I managed to ask this question, although slightly stuttering, as I was still having trouble wrapping my head around the bomb of an information that the voice dropped on me.
[I have no information regarding that, host.]
Hmm, seems like even the voice does not have all the answers. I concluded from the voice's response, then a different question crossed my mind that I don't know how I forgot to ask until now.
'Who are you? and why can you talk inside my head?'
[Now, that should be the first question that host should be asking!]
I don't know why, but it seemed like the voice was proud and excited to finally have a chance to speak about itself or maybe it was just my imagination.
[There are systems inscribed in the soul of every person in this world to help them get stronger and make their life easier. I am also one such system but special than all the others, as I am specifically designed by the God of life and death himself to support the host fully in host's second life.]
[The reason why I can telepathically talk to the host is because I am inscribed into host's soul or simply, a part of host.]
So, there are systems inscribed in every single person in this world? Why do I feel like I have heard or read about this type of thing somewhere before? Hmmm, eh... that's not important right now. The important thing is, it said 'it is more special than all the other systems out there', so...
'What is different between you and the other systems?'
[Ahem!]
Did it just really say 'Ahem!', I mean who says 'Ahem!', wasn't it supposed to be a part of my soul? Why did it feel like an entirely different entity than me?
[The all-other system shows the status of their respective host by providing necessary details wherever necessary. But I am not like those common systems that everyone has. I can provide the same thing for the host but with extra detail and even some extra features which the host has to wait before accessing them as the host is just a baby right now.]
'Ohhhh, aren't you too much overpowered?' I subconsciously thought that after hearing its explanation, even though I didn't understand ninety percent of the explanation it gave me.
[That I am!]
It sounded proud and happy after hearing praise for itself from me and this time it was not my imagination, it definitely wasn't.
But still, I am getting a feeling I have heard something similar to this somewhere before. Hmmm... but where? I just can't put my finger around it. Or maybe it is just my hallucination? Oh well, maybe it wasn't that important if I don't remember it, but wait a second, didn't it say something about status...
'Show me my status.' I thought barely able to contain my curiosity.
[Host cannot see his status as of the current moment because host does not possess a name right now. Host will be able to see his status after getting a name.]
'Ah! Riiight, I don't have a name.' I seemed to have forgotten about it because I still thought my name was.... huh? what was my name? Did I have a name? I tried to think about it more but then a sudden pain struck me.
'Argh!' I groaned which came out like a cry of a baby from my mouth.
What was I thinking again? Right, Name. I was thinking about getting the voice's name, so I get to know how to call it.
'Hey, what is your name? How should I call y--' My thoughts got interrupted due to the sun's rays that seemed to be shining into the room through the window. The sun had come up while I was talking (or thinking) with it, and then I heard the sound of the gate opening and the footsteps of some people coming in.
