'thoughts'
"Conversations"
[System]
Soul POV
Life? I never enjoyed it enough to call it good or bad. I had no parents. I only remember being in an orphanage with some friends.
I actually cannot even recall their names. Maybe this is because I am already dead. Maybe soul dont want to have connections anymore. Maybe soul didn't like the constant failures in life. I cannot even remember my name. But I can remember everything else. My small dilapidated apartment, my school, and almost everything else.
Maybe I should not think in this void becouse its not what soul is supposed to do. How can I see? Because I am not seeing things anymore its what I feel. I can feel I am alone. But why? How?
I remember dying...or maybe not. I cannot tell how it felt to die. It was just me running from some stray dogs trying to bite me. Even truck kun could not come to Isekai me.
I just slipped on wet floor of an alleyway and fell to a sharp metal scrap that pierced my side to neck. I died after few minutes but i couldn't remember the feel of metal cutting my neck and pain of dying in agony.
Maybe my soul dont want to remember the trauma. But still can't believe in this.

Yes this thing i know but i can't figure out why i am given this privilege to get it. This is gamer system. Some type of cheat that we get before being Isekai to different world. So i am going to be reincarnate in another world? If there is a chance then i want to live a life. An actual one that i can call life.
I am not naive enough to say a life without regrets because i know life cannot be without regrets but at least I can try to make less mistakes in my new life. I just wish i don't forget all my memories because to me without memories an individual is not someone who he was with those memories.
I want to be a reincarnated person with memories not a different person i would be without them. Its been few minutes or maybe hours that screen is still loading. I cannot tell time when i couldn't see anything but darkness afterall. I am not one of those human clocks that could count time without any reference.
I am more worried about what type of system it will be? I have read many fanfiction in which a protagonist gets gamer system, dragon system, hero system or even things like sex system.
I am worried if i get villian system it forces you to do villianous tasks or loose something valuable to you. Rewards are generous and tasks dont decrease your honour and reputation in society but tasks are morally difficult for a human reincarnated soul to do. The fact that it forces you to do a task is what worries me most.
I am also worried if i will be possessing over body of other person. Most of reincarnation fanfiction have this trope to skip boring childhood.
I am not someone who will not take life seriously even if i takeover someones body but i care about their own life and what happened to their real soul and what will happen if someone finds out i am not the one they knew.
Anyways the loading is almost completed.

[ Welcome Gamer!]
[ Name = Unnamed
Class = None
Level = 0
Title = None]
[ Gamer you don't have stats bcz you are just a soul so no name, class, level and title]
[ To reincarnate you have to use random reincarnation option for now bcz you dont have any other choice!]
[ Initiating reincarnation... in 20 minutes]
I saw a timer appear in corner of my vision. 'Hey system can you talk'
[ Yes gamer, i am created to be your digital ai system so i could chat with you, save you from dangers that were not supposed to happen and explain things to you that i am permitted to tell you right now]
So it does huh, ' Can you tell me why i cannot remember my old name and my friends names?'
[ Its becouse the creator didn't want you to remember your bonds with your past life till needed and remembering your past name might create chaos bcz some universes are created to have names as a different type of power in itself like anime in your memory 'That time i got reincarnated as a slime' in which if you pronounce your name by mistake your energy will be used to imprint your name into your own soul and only being stronger than you can name you if you try naming yourself chances of death due to exhaustion is 99.99%]
Thats solid i guess, not that i liked my name too much the thing is that does the system care about my living or not it is not known for now. Lets try this, hey system can you hear me.... I guess not if i don't intent system to hear me then it cannot hear me but it has access to my memories but cannot read my mind 24/7 is better.
I could keep somethings private. Not that i am any less naked infront of the system. I knows everything about me.
It Looks like emotionless system the omnipotent being created it must be somewhat underdeveloped or it will get emotions with time. I have read about many advanced system that have emotions and can even manifest. ' Can i know name of who created you?'
[ Creator has not given me permission to disclose this information to you but you can call him The Developer for now]
Thats cliche becouse most fanfiction do not reveal name of creator but at least its not saying that 'mortals need to become powerful enough to hear his name so call them The omnipotent being'.
I don't like that but if The Developer wants to remain unknown then I can't do anything to know about him. ' so tell me system if i will be reincarnated as a baby or an adult for sake of plot and skipping boring childhood.'
[ Gamer you are going to be born from the state of embryo and grow to a fine person as per your subconscious desires and creators wish to see you grow from state where you don't have identity crisis and have personality and emotional development]
So subconscious desires are a thing huh 'can you fullfill my every wish?' I must consentrate bcz subconscious desires can f*ck up my life
[ Gamer i am not a wish fulfilling system but i can grant 6 wishes that are not considered too much by me and if your wishes are greedy they will be nerfed]
Hmm thats a good thing that i can have some starter wishes ' Okay system i want a few wishes that are not too greedy.... by my point of view at least. My first wish is for gamers mind that gives me infinite willpower and a strong mental defence that no one could easily read my mind.' I think infinite willpower is not going to give me any advantages in combat but it would be an endless drive to live and don't give up easily bcz i know how weak willed i am that I give up on things in few tries.
[ Gamer you already have Gamers mind skill that gives you immunity to any type of mental interference and superessing negative emotions in dangerous situations but i will add infinite willpower so your drive to move forward in any situation will be endless]
I do? ' Hey, does my 1 wish get consumed in this? bcz i only got infinite willpower and i already have Gamer's mind!
[ You wasted your 1 wish there gamer, from now on wish carefully, you have 5 wishes left]
Damnit. I will have to play it safe because wishes are limited and can be wasted if words are not chosen carefully 'Just a question, do i have gamers body too, if yes what are its functions?'
[ Yes you do have a Gamers body it gives you ability to regenerate missing limbs, halts aging at prime, immune to diseases, resistant to most poisons and you have a digital nature that gives your body ability to grow with stats]
Take it carefully 'Okay so, I wish for infinite potential that lets me ability to learn anything and everything as long as I work hard for it. It should not be considered too greedy because I will be the one working hard.'
[ That doesn't sound greedy so, i think it will be granted]
Gained...
[Perk: Infinite horizon]
Gives infinite potential and ability to learn anything without need to meet requirements if you work hard enough.
' I want ability to make people completely loyal to me if i have raw magic or any energy higher than them and it should be irresistible and it wont even activate if i can't make them loyal so they don't sense my power. It shouldn't be greedy if i set the limitations myself afterall'
[ That is greedy and I can sense greed, but ability would be nerfed to don't give you cheat code of absolute loyalty spam in addition it has additional abilities that would help you]
[ A similar perk that fulfill your requirements and has additional abilities has been detected]
Gained...
[Perk : Binder's essence]
Description: You can mark a person by touching them and if you have more than 100 times energy than them then they are your followers for eternity. You can choose so make them servant or slave or friend. The mark is metaphysical means it cannot be removed ever even if you wanted
I. THE MARKING PROTOCOL (Acquisition)
Rule: User energy must be 100x greater than Targets and you must have physical contact even if clothes come in between you skin and their it can be called physical contact so no worries if they come in a full body suit.
Limit: 1 New Soul per Solar Year(365 Days)
Your Choice:
[Force]: Loyalty overwritten to [DEVOTION/SUBSERVIANCE]. (For followers/enemies).
[Free will]: Free Will retained. (For friends/rivals).
No one can betray you even if they are under illusion or powerful mind control.
II. THE "EMPTY SHELL" (Death Mechanic)
When a Marked Target dies, their body is just empty shell and their biological data cannot be harvested or studied. The body remains. It bleeds, gets cold, and can be buried. To enemy, it looks like a confirmed kill. But soul do not get destroyed or go to heaven/Hell of that world.
The corpse is "Protected."
Effect: If anyone tries to extract DNA, clone cells the process fails without any alternative becouse without your permission it turns to raw data and the data destroy itself before it could be seen, so the person see blue mist
Their genetic code is locked. Only the you have the key.
III. ACTIVE ABILITY: SYSTEM RESTORE (The Revival)
Usage: Can be activated anytime, anywhere (as long as the User has the enough energy)
Cost: (Target's Max energy) * 100 (Flat Rate).
The Process: You pay the cost. Wherever the "Old Body" is (buried, in a morgue, or on a battlefield), it instantly shatters into blue fog and reconstructs itself infront of you.
IV. SHARED TRAITS (The Gamer's Gift)
You can choose to share your some powers but nerfed versions only
Both Vassals and Anchors gain:
[Gamers Body]: Halts agina at prime. resistant to most disease, poison and heal/regenerate limbs
[Infinte Potential]: Level Cap, biological , spiritual and physical restriction or any limitations are removed
[Gamers mind]: any magical, artificial mental interference will have strong resistance and resistance can be increase to true nullification, perfect memory, ability to supress negative emotions in case of danger in surrounding, it can also act as a danger sense if your negative emotions are suppressed means that there is danger in surrounding
other abilities that you will gain can be shared but they must be perks or system related
Thats familiar, it seems like essence meta from cyoa but a lot nerfed from what i know of still nice now ' i wish i could create and understand powers and abilities from different anime worlds by theorising their workings like essence of archmage, if you can give essence of archmage then broker contract too' this is getting intresting if i can get contract then any idiot on my path will be left without nothing.
[ Ability cannot be too powerful so giving nerfed ability related to it, so it won't be stronger as skill creation because you already have infinite potential]
Gained...
[Perk : Archmage essence]
Description: You have infinite potential so why not get ability to manifest what you dream in your pst life. If you can understand the theory, visualize the flow, and endure the cost, you can manifest any form of energy from the multiverse and after that you can use it as try and error, learn from mistakes to recreate ability you always dream of it can be anything from abilities described fully to abilites you just saw once, but the time taken to create depends on your understanding.
I. THE CREATION PROTOCOL (Theory & Genesis)
To unlock a new Energy Source (e.g., Ki, Haki, Mana, Nen, Chakra), you must complete a Scientific Method:
You must mentally explain the mechanics of the energy to the System using your anime knowledge or unlock it by quest if you don't understand the energy but quest road can be longer and harder. Even recreate the technique by your own energy if possible but face massive decrease in power.
If theory is valid the you unlock the energy system.
The Conversion: You must force your body to convert your base Stamina or energy into this new frequency through meditation and mental strain.
The Genesis: Once you successfully produce 1 Unit of energy by yourself you can use it and system makes all energy in your body into that energy and you can switch between. Its not a new pool but your energy interchanging.
II. THE MECHANIC: MODE SWITCHING
You cannot use all energies simultaneously until you reach required proficiency till then you can only switch in the beginning
Action: "System, Switch Source to [MAGIC]."
Effect: Your magic turn into required energy. Your body attempts to function as required by energy and your biology changes so you not die of depletion of your initial energy.
III. THE NERF: "UNIVERSAL FRICTION"
Because you are in the a certain world, reality resists foreign energy. This creates three severe penalties that you must overcome through grinding.
1. The Exchange Rate (The Efficiency Tax)
Your body is a Chakra reactor. Converting Energy/Stamina into "Foreign Energy" is extremely wasteful at low levels and system fast regeneration works but max capacity is low
Example: Level 1 Ratio: 100:1
You spend 100 Units of Stamina or energy of that universe to produce 1 Unit of Ki.
Result: You might exhaust yourself just lighting a candle with different energy but your real energy is much more efficient.
Thats fair i guess i mean if i want to learn my favourite abilities i want to go through the process becouse instant learn will be meaningless to me who always thought of hardworking protagonist over OP from start protagonists'Broker one, please'.
[ Next perk is dormant or conditional till you reach 30 years age, becouse its too overpowered to use freely even with nerfs i have added]
Gained...
[Perk: Broker's essence](Dormant and Conditional)
Description: You are the the broker of existence, if owner agree you can even take their everything in exchange for nothing.
I. THE CONTRACT (The Absolute Law)
When you make a contract written or words and apply brokers essence it is absolute and follow your intent
The contract can make the impossible true.
Example: "In exchange for something [X], Target grants User his bloodline .Even if the user doesn't have that blood, the System will rewrite the User's DNA to make it true
Once signed, the contract is enforced by the Essence. No Power, no God, and no willpower can stop the transfer. If the target tries to back out, their soul is instantly harvested to pay the penalty as well as the cost.
II. THE THREE PILLARS (The Rules)
1. The Full Disclosure Rule (The Knowledge Nerf)
The target must know every single clause, fine print, and consequence of the contract.
If you hide a secret clause that says "I also own your soul," the contract is Void.
You cannot lie about the terms. You must be the most honest person in the room while drafting the deal. If they cannot read the intent behind the words they are screwed
2. The Anti-Manipulation Lock (The Mental Nerf)
Any form of Mind control, subtle thought manipulation, Charisma-buffs, or magical mental influence used to gain a signature cancels the contract.
The "Yes" must come from the target's own consciousness, unaffected by any external mind-warps.
3. The "Will to Die" Clause (The Resistance Nerf)
You can use physical force. You can beat an enemy to near-death, hold a knife to their throat, and say "Sign this or die."
However, If the target chooses death over the contract—if they say "No" you gain nothing. You cannot force a person that is willing to be die over agree
[ The next wish will be final wish the creator does not want you to rely on system too much]
Okay but binders essence restriction is not fair because i wanted to gain power ups by stealing others powers by word play but anyways, no rimuru for now.
I could get when i am 30 now last wish. I thought that I could get something more, but I will be lying if I say I wasnt waiting for this moment, lets block divine intervention.' My last wish is that creator not interfere in my life in any way possible, so that I if the world I am going into is one of the worlds i have read or seen in anime I could actually change plot by myself and I don't want creator changing plot in ways that I could not even know what will happen'
[ Granted ]
Now lets wait till the timer stops.
