The world dissolved into a blinding flash of white—then nothing. Cold, silent, infinite nothing.
You drifted in a vast, star-speckled void. The sensation of a body was distant, like wearing clothes that didn't quite fit. Below, above, around—only darkness and glittering motes of light, hanging still like frozen fireflies.
Then, a sound. Not quite a voice. A hum that shaped itself into words, cold and mechanical, echoing from everywhere at once.
System
Unprecedented Event: Accidental Death. Eligible for Soul Transfer.
The light pulsed. A sphere of brilliance hung above you, featureless and unblinking.
System
Soul Transfer: Successful. Reincarnation: In Progress.
Due to an Unprecedented Event, System.exe will reincarnate Soul.obj, and compensate a Skill to Soul.obj that they describe. If Soul.obj does not describe a Skill, they will receive a random Skill.
After Processes have finished, System.exe will commence Reincarnation Process.
The orb pulsed once more, waiting. The void held its breath.
