Soul Progression
It happened so suddenly… I was walking with some friends on our way to get something to eat and in just a few moments I was gone. The moment flashes in my mind… my friend took one wrong step and began stumbling into the road, as I leapt forward to try to desperately pull her out of the way of the incoming truck… she… suddenly changed stances jumped back out of the road essentially breaking my ankles, leaving me thrown off by her sudden quick movements to stumble into the incoming traffic. As I tried to regain my footing to get out of the way, it all went black. I felt like facepalming myself out of embarrassment in the darkness… all of my plans for the future, all of my efforts until this point just to go out in such an embarrassing way… speaking of… “Where am I?” A tall, burly, man stands before me with a serious expression on his face and continues to say with a hearty voice “You are at the pearly gates, my friend. After your… er… unfortunate accident your time on Earth has come to an end.”
When I finally landed, I felt myself enclosed in some kind of container. I tried to open my eyes but nothing happened, I could only feel a comfortable warmth that enveloped me entirely. “Did I somehow end up back up in some different area of Heaven or whatever that was?” “No this feels a little different, but—” I began to feel extremely drowsy. The combination of warmth and comfort was coddling me to sleep, everything was beginning to feel fuzzy… “What does it matter where I am? What does it matter who I am?” my consciousness began to drift… and my memories began to slip away… “No…wait!”
Suddenly I felt my whole body being moved and felt a cool rush of air all around me, the warmth and comfort I had been in was gone and the sudden exposure to cool air caused me to cry out. I felt as if something was holding me and wrapped me in some kind of fabric, I tried to move but felt myself with little energy and no power and struggled to force my eyes open seeing a beautiful brunette woman with bright brown eyes looking down at me. I no longer felt the pull at my memories, I didn’t know who she was but for some reason in her embrace, I felt secure and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
“Well, I’m a baby right now anyway, and this body is definitely influencing my mind, so this has got to be excusable… isn’t it?” At that moment, an interface appeared before my eyes: Soul Progression activated: [Name: XXXXXX] [Race: Human] [Status: Wet] [Attributes: Strength 0.15, Constitution: 5, Vitality: 3, Agility: 0.25, XXXXX: X] [Abilities: [Soul Progression], [Steady], [Quirky Stomach], [Cosmic Whiplash], [Structured Mind], [XXXX XXXXXXXX]].
