Chapter 2: Buzzing Fate

The land was decorated like a fairy park from a fantasy novel, with an all-white sky, green grassland extending to the horizon, green trees bathing in fairy light, and countless flowers radiating a captivating smell.

In that fairy world, a man about 6 feet tall with blond hair and a lean build-up stood in front of a translucent holographic screen next to a massive water fountain.

[Welcome to the afterlife, Ben Franklin.]

A strange voice echoed through the horizon like an oracle before a colossal blue holographic screen unfolded before him.

"Is this what happens after death? No, to be more specific, did I die?" Ben muttered with a plain expression on his face. He was neither sad nor happy; he was kind of expecting it for a while.

[Yes, Ben, you were unfortunate enough to get hit by a car and die on the spot.]

Ben, surprised by the voice, looked around before his gaze fixated upon the floating blue screen in the air. This was something he had only read in sci-fi novels so far. He wasted no time asking, "Is this you talking to me?"

[ I apologise for the delayed introduction. ]

[ I am the Reincarnation System, and my duty is to look over the cycle of life and death in universe 615.]

"I see, so there are no gods that will judge my sins or something?" Ben relaxed his muscles, feeling no harm from the strange voice. He let down his guard.

[ Normally, yes. Your deeds from the past determine your reincarnation in the future, but in your case, things are a little different.]

"Elaborate please." Ben inquired, intrigued by the mention of a unique process for his reincarnation.

[ Indeed, Ben. Originally your time of death was just moments after you were born in the world. But due to some serious series of mishaps, you were able to survive quite long on that planet.]

"Died after birth...you have got to be kidding me." Ben's lips twitched as he recalled what the system said.

[ In the beginning, the higher beings found it annoying, but as time grew, they began to admire your willpower and precaution.]

[That is why, Ben, you have been brought here to have a personalised reincarnation experience once in eternity.]

Ben raised an eyebrow, and his interest piqued. "Customised reincarnation experience? You mean I get to choose my species and all?"

[Not just species; you can also customise your looks, bloodline, gender, and PP size.]

A sense of excitement welled up within Ben. The prospect of being able to choose his next life was like playing an RPG game in real life.

"So, how does this process work? How do I go about choosing my next life?" Ben asked, eager to delve deeper into this extraordinary opportunity. when another golden screen popped up before him.

[Do you want to apply for customised reincarnation?]

[Yes] [Choose a random reincarnation]

"Yes," Ben said, in answer to the random voice, before a new screen appeared before him. The holographic screen before him transformed into a vibrant, multidimensional interface, displaying a vast array of options and possibilities.

1. [Choose race...184721 options are available.]

"I see now, so that's how it works." Ben scratched his temples before he chose 'human' as an option.

2.[Choose Gender...]

(a) Female; (b) Male; (c) Transgender

"Tsk, definitely male."

3. [Choose the world...]

(a) Sci-Fi; (b) Magical; (c) Apocalyptic (d) Pokeworld

"I will go for the magical world."

4. [Choose special abilities...]

(a) Elemental manipulation; (b) Telekinesis; (c) Healing; (d) Illusion

"I'll pick elemental manipulation. That sounds like an exciting power to have."

5. [Choose your starting location...]

(a) Floating Island; (b) Enchanted Forest; (c) Mystical City; (d) Underwater Realm

"I'll start in the enchanted forest."

[Choose a face...]

[Choose eye colour.]

[Choose height, weight, and skin colour.]

.

...

"Done, done, done, done." Ben marked all the upcoming questions, finally moving towards the last two questions.

[ Choose a lineage...]

(a) Royalty; (b) Noble Bloodline; (c) Commoner (d) Magic King's Secret Son

"If I had a choice, in a world of magic, imagine me, the all-powerful son of a king, with a harem of nine girls, but being a son of a king is too risky and will attract unwanted attention!"

"Thinking again, I wouldn't mind being a regular guy either, rising from the bottom to become the ultimate mage and collecting a harem along the way... Or maybe not; that's kinda too much work for me." Ben thought of his disappointment. "Let's just go with noble blood for now."

[Choose the PP size...]

"No need for options; I accept me as I am; size doesn't matter. Heheheheehehe...."

With each choice, the screen adjusted and displayed a preview of the world Ben was creating for himself. The images on the screen showcased lush forests, majestic castles, and mythical creatures, all bathed in a soft, enchanting glow.

Once all the choices were made, the screen displayed a confirmation message.

[Your customised reincarnation application has been submitted. The Reincarnation System will now process your request.]

"Now, just start the reincarnation already."

[Initiating the Reincarnation Process]

[Progress: 15%]

[Progress: 35%]

"It looks like my exit outta here is coming soon. My harem awaits me in the new magical world, ahahahaha."

[Progress: 82%]

[Progress: 99%]

While the reincarnation process was yet to be completed, a sudden vibration was felt through the plane, as if it were an earthquake. The blue screen started to flicker into the red as the fairy world around Ben started to break apart.

"Wait, what's going on? Why do I feel...? It's like I'm being squeezed. Reboot the system, cancel orders, delete codes—do something before I... Argh!"

[Progress: 100%, Emergency Reincarnation Complete]

With the last notification, a massive blast resounded throughout the plain, and the fairy world where Ben was standing just now shattered like glass against a hammer.
