Prologue

Where am I?

What am I doing?

What is happening to me?

Most importantly, who am I?

All these questions are my head, yet none of them are answered, I don't know who I am, let alone what is happening. I can't see anything, or hear anything. Now that I think about it, I don't have any other senses as well.

Sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. None of that can be felt. Even the passage of time seems to be messed up.

How long have I been in here?

Yet, another question I can't find an answer to.

Am I floating in somewhere?

Not that I have any sense to tell but maybe I'm losing my mind.

"..is still alive?"

A cold voice from afar is the first thing I've heard for as long as I remember.

Next thing, I am sitting in a chair floating in the middle of a dark void.

There's no one in sight but I hear the very voice from earlier.

"You're the first soul to be alive for over 10,000 years in this very void. So, I will grant you a body and power to let you live again. Is there anything you want in particular?"

I don't really get what the voice means but getting out of this void sounds tempting to me, even if I have no memories or wheresoever outside of this place.

"..but why me?"

"..well, you are the first soul to live this long in here so I guess you are quite unique. Maybe I want to see why."

"I see."

"So what do you say?"

"I'm fine with it, I guess. Can I really say what I want?"

"Well, not everything can be granted but go ahead, I will tell you if I can't give you."

I nod at that and think for a while. My mind is practically blank at this point but I will manage, I guess.

I don't know how much time passed as I still have no perception of time but I start saying some things I want.

"I think I want to become strong enough so that I can hold my head high. I don't want to be in the mercy of others."

"Hm, prideful are we? Well, it's fine I guess. Next?"

"Next? I want some of my memories that can be useful in my new life back if that's possible."

"Memories that'll be useful? That's quite peculiar. I guess I can find 'some' and give it to you but I can't tell what kind of memories they will be or how they'll play in your life."

"It's okay. Can I also get ability to recreate anything from my memories or anything I have seen or the things I know how they work?"

"alright. I like your thinking so I'm gonna give you one more thing. What will be the final wish?"

I think for a while again.

"I want to be able to calculate and analyze things more relying on logic."

"Logic, huh? I have just the thing in my mind."

"Okay."

"Great, now I will give you some extra and unique abilities that might suit you as much as your soul can handle. So, entertain me." The voice says and then, I lose my consciousness.
