3rd POV.
Hive worlds, the most populous type of imperial planet with a population so great that they live in huge arcologies called Hive cities. Hive worlds often provide much need industrial labour, their manufactoria produces mountains of material and other goods to meet the imperial tithes demands, though the technological sophistication of these goods is nowhere near that produced by the adeptus mechanicus forge worlds. Though a Hive world's most important product and resource aren't the materials or goods they sell or produce, it's the people.
Most Hive worlds start out as relatively hospitable places to live but become severely polluted, the areas outside the hives are reduced to ash wastes or radioactive desserts by the never ceasing industry in great cities. Environmentalists would have been raging at the site but those type of people and professions are just lost in the river of time.
A Hive world can't be called a Hive without its Hive cities, truly immense, self-contained, multi-layered structures that reach high into the sky, each housing billions of individuals. Hive cities are divided are divided into four classes- the noble class which is the ruling body of hive worlds. The bureaucratic middle class which consists of guilds and house. The lower class which are the working class and dregs and finally the underhives, this where gangs rule and mutants reside - where the poorest of the poor are exploited and locked in an endless struggle to survive.
Now that a picture has been somewhat painted of how Hive worlds and Hive cities are like, let's go see how our protagonist is doing.

1st POV.
"Fuck! Why here damn it!?"
I cried out as my breathing started to get erectic and heavy, my heart pounding in my chest feeling like it's about to burst out. I'm having a panic attack - the thought settled into my head, I need to calm downbut how do I calm down in this fucked up situation!?
Just as I was spiraling, I felt an unsettling calm and clarity wash over me as if I was stripped of all my emotions and negative thoughts but that's wasn't it at all. I can still feel all my emotions- the panicking, the fear and hate at the unfairness of my situation- all those negative thoughts and emotions are still there just that they're happening in the background? I was relatively confused but thankfully someone decided to clarify.
[Answer: You were panicking and was about to spiral out of control and loose yourself and get taken adventage of by the demons in the Warp thus preventive measures were taken to help you calm down and give you clarity.]
"Great sage huh? Thanks for saving my life and did you use parallel thought processing to create a separate thought stream or room then move everything there to give me this calm clarity?"
I asked calm relatively intrigued since I never thought to use that skill like that in my day dreams in my past life. I mean it was genuis since this acts like gamers mind from the Gamer webtoon but without the whole giving you mental resistance thing. Honestly I can now think of different ways to use this and more now.
So this is the effect of the essence of the spak huh
I paused whatever thoughts I was having and replayed what great sage said- word for word and I caught to words that I really didn't like and would make my life going on far more worse than I thought it would be.
"I'm a psyker aren't I?"
[Answer: Affirmative]
Fuuuuuccccckk!!!!
A few moments later~
"Okay I'm done crashing out now. Great sage bring up my memories of this life if I have any."
And then I spent the next couple of minutes going through memories of this life and I gotta say it was a shitty life compared to my past life but relatively okay if you think about how much worse it could have been. I could have reborn in the underhive or as a mutant, just the thought sends shivers down my spine.
In this life my name is Arthur- really? Arthur? Couldn't my parents come up with a more unique name or something else entirely different, for fucks sake my name in my past life was Morgan.Feels like someone is playing some cosmic joke on me.
Sigh
Sorry mom and dad. Now then where was I ahh yes my name is Arthur, 21 years and the son of Victoria and Uther. Both parents were workers in the Lower layer, mom worked at a hub to keep the systems running and dad worked in the manufactoria producing goods. Both of them did everything they could give me a good life well as good as any Hive worker can give at least, as soon as I came of age both parents died and I started working to earn my keep at manufactoria too. I worked for about three years until recently when shit hit the fan as one of the cultists conducted a ritual at costs of thousands of lives to summon grandfather Nurgles demons to reek havoc.
Sigh
"Alright then time to start planning how to survive this shit whole and make it out alive but lets address the six eyes matter now."
Due the the six eyes I can pretty much see the psychic energy all around me and it's pretty dense. Now I want to see if I can control it and if I can I can use this to my advantage since depending on the level of control I have over it several things will become easier in the future.
Great sage, monitor my condition and changes in my mental state and if there are any sever changes stop me even if you have to do it forcefully. You can never be too cautious when dealing with anything that has to do with the warp.
[Answer: Noted.]
And so I started experimenting with the use of psychic energy for the next couple of hours and I found out a couple of things.
1. My control of psychic energy is impeccable and there has been no changes in my mental state too.
2. My primary specialty is telekinesis so that means I can force choke my enemies.
3. I can shoot lightning out of my finger meaning unlimited powwerrr!!!
4. The six eyes have mutated or enhanced I guess. As for how that happened my guess is that it fused with the witch sight that all psykers have and thus all its abilities have been enhanced and it gained new abilities such as x-ray vision, aura vision, precognitive vision and soul sight. I can also see into the warp which fucking sucks cause what I saw in there is not for the weak.
5. I can use psychic energy to reinforce my body beyond its limits and I can even augment it by constantly infusing it with psychic energy but that part is still up for debate and more experiments are need to collect data.
6. I think I can project my will to knock out active minds in my surroundings like conquers haki.
7. I have a strong intuition. I found that out after looking into the warp and almost died if it hadn't warned me and had great sage make a parallel thought stream to take in what I saw without going crazy.
Note to self: Never Ever look into the warp again.
Yeah that's about it, well all I could find out in the time I set for myself and there was still no changes in my state of mind which is both good and bad. It's good cause that means I have the power to defend myself and bad for me cause if the inquisition finds out that I'm a powerful psyker I might be killed or persuade to join them of which I'm not inclined to do since I want to live my life to the fullest.
"Okay, now that power testing is out of the way- I need to start collecting material to build a couple of things like a mask so that I don't breath in any of the diseases and virus that are spread by the zombie plagues and plaguebearers. That's means I need to head for the manufactoria if I want to get the stuff but the question is how am I going to carry them."
If I can them physical they will probably slow me down and I haven't tested how much I can carry with my telekinesis so that partially out of the question.
[Answer: You have an inventory so you can use that to carry them.]
How did I not notice that I-
[Answer: You did not notice because you were busy laughing and shouting 'unlimited power' while shooting lightening out of your fingers. Thus you've activity ignored me telling you of this and yes this is bonus gift you received upon reincarnating into this universe and as for who gave it to you I don't not know but it is not the ruinous powers nor is it the emperor. The person who gave it to you did however leave a message for you to listen to, would you like to listen to it?]
This situation is highly suspicious but my intuition says it's not dangerous but it's still sus.
"Great sage, play the message."
{~ When it feels like all the world is wearing a frown ~
~ Put a smile on and spread it around ~
~ With your smile turn the world upside down ~
Yahoo~ hello there Arthur hope this message reaches you before you do something stupid and die. If it didn't well that bad luck and if it did then great.
Anyways I'm a fellow reincarnator and I saw your soul heading to the 40k verse so I thought I should give a little something that all reincarnators should have: an inventory!!!!
Your inventory will be shaped to your most desired form and you don't have to worry about other people stealing your stuff or even getting inside since it's YOURS and no one else's.
Anyway bye ~ and I hope you enjoy your new chance at life and I hope we meet face to face in the future.
Ps: I'm not a Chaos God or the emperor or anyone from that universe for that matter.
Pss: No I don't want anything from you since if I want some I can just create it myself.
Psss: You should really learn how to sing cause your horrible at it.}
"Did some random women just insult me and call me a broke ass bum?"
(A/N: Yes, yes she did.)
I was left feeling speechless and attacked cause why does everyone hate my singing, I'm that bad am I?
You know what, fuck it I'm going to prove to everyone who told me I can't sing that I can and will be a fucking better singer then anyone will ever be.
[Answer: Bruh.]
