I had died, or at least I thought I had. Maybe I was in the afterlife?
No, I doubt the afterlife would have been so... void of anything.
It was a serene emptiness, a floating sensation, as if I were drifting in a dark, endless sea. This clearly was not any sort of afterlife-it felt more like a limbo of sorts.
But what was I doing here? Was this punishment for something I had done in my life? It couldn't be, could it? My mind raced with questions, but there were no answers in sight. Just the vast expanse of nothingness surrounding me.
But then, a voice resonated in the darkness-calm, authoritative, and otherworldly.
【Deaths: 1】
【Cause of death: Suffocation】
【Life summary: abuse, trauma, betrayal, and torment】
The voice echoed, each word reverberating through my mind, amplifying my sense of detachment from my former life. But the fact that it just casually mentioned my death and the suffering I had endured was jarring.
【Searching for Rebirth-Type abilities... No results found】
Rebirth-type abilities? I couldn't make any sense of any of this. I had the idea that I wasn't really dead. I was having ideas, after all. Plus this voice I kept hearing and these mysterious words. Did I really escape my hellish existence for this? I needed answers, but it seemed like I was just getting more questions.
【Reawakening Perks: Removal of Pain; Physical Immunity; Temperature Immunity; Poison Immunity; Soul Regeneration (Automatic); Complete Elucidation (Limited Usage)】
Now perks? What perks? What was going on? Panic started to creep in, no longer confident about my surroundings or what was happening to me. What was Complete Elucidation?
【Determining Reawakening Type: Reincarnation】
【Reincarnation Destination: The First World】
The words made little sense to me, but I clung to them, trying to grasp their meaning. Reincarnation? A new world? What did this mean for me? Was I about to be reborn in a different place and time?
【Reincarnation commencing...】
The final words faded; the darkness shifted, pulling me towards a pinpoint of light.
My thoughts swirled, questions and fears mingling in the void. The light seemed unreachable, yet it was pulling me closer.
It didn't take long before my entire vision went white and felt a sense of weightlessness, as if I were being lifted from one existence to another.
My eyes forced themselves shut. No sensation entered me.
And all went blank.
