When I died, I didn't know what to expect.
I didn't know if there was anything after death, or if I would simply vanish into nothingness.
I didn't know if I would meet my loved ones, or if I would have to face divine judgment.
I didn't know if I would have a second chance, or if I would have to accept my fate.
Even though I had decided to accept it.
But when I opened my eyes again, I realized that I was no longer in the place where I had died.
I was no longer in a dark and dirty alley, but in a place where souls were brought to reincarnate after undergoing various trials.
I had completed them, and thanks to that, I had the opportunity to reincarnate through a portal.
But most importantly, I had managed to connect with the energy of that place.
Now I was no longer the man who had died pathetically, but a fetus of a few weeks.
So, I remembered my previous life and the trials I had faced.
Images of the open field, the portal, the red light came to mind.
I remembered the words of the high officer and his permission for me to reincarnate.
I remembered the other souls and their choices.
I wondered based on what the world in which to reincarnate was chosen and if the other souls had reincarnated in the same world.
And above all, I wondered how much time I had spent there.
Then I decided to experiment with the energy I had discovered, which had caused the phenomenon of the red light.
I wondered if I still had it and if I could use it.
I wondered if it was a blessing or a curse and if it would bring me luck or misfortune.
I decided to try to connect with the energy and see if it had changed.
I focused my mind and soul and tried to feel the energy flowing within me.
Gradually, I began to perceive a familiar yet different sensation.
The energy was still there, but it was weaker and more unstable.
It was as if it had adapted to my new body and had lost part of its original power.
I wondered if it was a good thing or a bad thing and if I could recover my lost energy.
I also wondered if I could use the energy to do extraordinary things, as I had done before.
I wondered if I could create new forms of life or destroy existing ones.
I wondered if I could change the world with my power.
But before experimenting again with that energy, I stopped, thinking about the unexpected thing I had seen just before.
It was an interface, probably the interface of a System.
I wondered what it was and where it came from.
I wondered if it was normal in this world and if it had to do with the energy I had.
I wondered if it had a natural or artificial origin and if it had its own identity or will.
So, I tried to ask it these questions, but the results were disappointing.
"It seems like it can't answer, and that I have more and more questions and fewer and fewer answers" I sighed.
At that point, I decided to think about the word "Status," but nothing appeared.
"I understand, it should be because I'm still just a fetus."
At this point, I didn't have much else to do, so I tried to actively connect with the energy of this world, since it flows passively into every fetus.
Furthermore, I hypothesized that the amount of energy one received and the time it took to connect depended on the strength of the mother.
However, despite this, it was impossible for me to understand if my mother was strong or weak because I had no reference and therefore didn't know what the average amount of energy a fetus received in this new world was.
So, I began to try to connect with the energy of this world, which I felt flowing passively within me.
I didn't know how to do it or if it was different from what I had connected with before, but I relied on my instinct and my experience with a different type of energy.
I tried to establish contact with the energy, to feel it and guide it.
I tried to make it circulate within my body, to strengthen and improve it.
I tried to make it become part of me and to become part of it.
It wasn't easy.
The energy of this world was different from what I had used before.
It was wilder and more chaotic. It was harder to control and manipulate.
It was more resistant and hostile. It was as if it didn't want to be actively used by me, as if it refused to be controlled.
However, despite this, the time I spent was only many hours and several days, unlike what I initially expected.
In fact, I thought I would have to spend many months to connect with the energy of this world.
This was possible because, in addition to the energy that flowed passively, and I who made it flow actively, I already had experience with a different type of energy.
"I imagine that normal fetuses take many months to reach this stage," I thought.
In fact, even after having succeeded, I didn't have a perfect connection.
It was a fragile and unstable connection that required constant attention and concentration.
It was a connection that could break at any moment, leaving me exhausted and tired.
But it was already something.
So I continued to connect with the energy of this world to increase my connection with it and to use it to train my body.
I continued to experiment with the energy and see what I could do with it.
I continued to try to understand the energy and discover its secrets, challenging it by trying to dominate it.
And while I was doing all this, I noticed that my body was changing.
It became stronger and more resistant. It became more agile and flexible.
It became more sensitive and reactive. It became more alive and vital.
It became a body that could withstand the energy of this world and use it to its advantage.
It became a body that adapted to the world I was born into and prepared to live in it.
But not only did my body change.
My mind also changed.
It became a mind that could understand the energy of this world and use it to its advantage.
It became a mind that integrated with the world I was born into and was about to explore it.
At that point, I had managed to obtain a perfect connection with the energy of this world, and I managed to obtain 2 cores where it was stored, one in the body and one in the mind.
But despite all these changes, there was one thing that didn't change. It was the energy I had brought with me from the afterlife.
So I tried to create a new type of energy.
An energy that was the fusion of Energy from the afterlife and the world.
In fact, I thought that if I could fuse the two energies, I could gain an advantage and a surprise.
I thought that if I could manipulate the two energies, I could do impossible things, considered miraculous even in this world.
With these thoughts in mind, I began to mix the energy of the world with mine and tried to create a new energy.
I felt a sensation of tension and conflict.
It was as if the two energies were clashing and challenging each other.
It was as if they were trying to prevail or harmonize.
It was as if they were creating a new force or a new crisis.
At that point, I decided to stop.
"I was too ambitious. If it were so easy to connect two different energies, many of the people I asked for information before reincarnating would have done it".
"Moreover, I have to consider that I am still just a fetus, and if something goes wrong, I could die again. So I will try again when I know more about both energies, their effects, and when I have clearer information about all the energies in this world."
So, I decided to continue training.
To prepare myself as best as possible for when I wouldn't be just a fetus anymore.
Thus, I decided to try to train my soul as well as my body. Once done, it was as if my body was regenerating, and my spirit was rising.
It was as if I were growing and maturing. It was as if I were becoming stronger and wiser.
And as I trained, I noticed that time was passing.
I felt my body growing, and the womb shrinking.
I felt my heart beating, and my breath quickening. I felt my brain developing, and my consciousness expanding.
I felt my spirit evolving, and my soul shining.
And so, I obtained my third core.
I felt that I was about to be born, and the world awaited me. But I wasn't impatient or anxious. I wasn't scared or worried. I wasn't excited or happy.
I was just calm and determined. I was just ready and decisive. I was just me and my power.
I was ready to be born and live my new life. I was ready to challenge the world and change my destiny. I was ready for anything.
And so, the day of my birth arrived.
