2 Reincarnation

"I wanna be King, I wanna be free,

I wanna touch the stars that are shining on me.

Oh, What a dream! Oh, What a life!

Don't let me die before I see those come.

So, destiny, come and destroy me,

So, that I can grow more stronger.

The humanity inside me,

Is becoming God

Oh oh oh~ I wanna be King."

Nathen ran and sang a song that he had come up with in these thousands of years f constant running.

Nathen had not changed much except his body. He now had the body of greek gods but without being not much beefy.

"Huh!?" Nathen halted his steps as he looked up. Tears slowly came running down his face. "I… I have finally arrived."

Nathen had finally come before the tree that had been on his mind for thousands of years. Now, as he looked at it from a closer range, he saw that he was not even a speck of dust in front of this tree's scale.

Suddenly, one of the branches started to shake. From that shaking, a dark red fruit fell. It came at Nathen like a comet.

If it was in his past life, he would have been scared, but now, he didn't feel anything. He was just now filled with excitement.

The fruit, right before it would hit the ground, stopped and floated in the air right in front of Nathen.

Nathen slowly reached out his hand and grabbed it. He caressed its skin and wondered out loud. "Its skin is so smooth!"

Looking at it from every direction, he finally decided to eat it.

Crunch!

The first bite filled his mouth with red juice and a lump of tender meat. The moment he tasted it, his eyes widened with disbelief. "What is this fruit!? This shouldn't be something that anyone can eat; It should only be tasted by Supreme Beings! This taste… it is beyond my comprehension!"

He quickly started to devour the fruit, hence someone stole it from him. The otherworldly taste of the fruit made him forget that he was all alone.

[ System Activated ]

Right after he finished eating the fruit, a voice sounded in his mind. He started to panic. "Who is it!?"

[ Host detected, the system is bounding with host's soul ]

[ Bound Complete ]

[ Congratulation Host, you have been blessed with the Mission Achiever System ]

"With what?" Nathan looked around and shouted."Who is speaking?"

[ It is me, host. The fruit you have eaten. ]

"What!? Are you some kind of parasite?" Gale instantly questioned back.

[ No, Host. I am symbiotic. ]

[ Host, you should be fortunate, as every being yearns for us ]

"Why would they yearn for you? And who is this, us?" Nathan had been lonely for so many years. So now that he found someone to talk to, he couldn't help but say whatever came to his mind.

[ The tree in front of you is called "The Cosmic Singularity Tree". It is the birthplace of systems. The fruits of the tree are us. We were born to make cosmic powerhouses. ]

"It seems like you guys have a fun job," Nathan said as he rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes.

"Soooo...." He looked at the tree and asked in a daze."What do we do now?"

[ I will make you reincarnate in another world ]

"Oh, that sounds fun. Just like the novels." He spoke as he felt himself floating up.

[ Searching new physical body for host ]

[ New Body has been found ]

[ Host, the world you will be reincarnated into has spiritual energy rejuvenated 50 years ago and is now known as astral energy ]

[ Host, should we reincarnate? ]

Nathen was stumped by the information he obtained. 'Wait, can I choose again and have a chance to return to my original world?'

[ No, host. You can't return to the original world and the first find is the best for you. Others can be trash. ]

"Haaah~" Nathen sighed as he thought he had hope of returning, but after some thought, he felt everyone he knew would be already dead by now.

"Reincarnate." He made his choice.

[ Host, new physical body has been bound with the soul ]

'I hope the new world would be not easy like in the novels. It should be hard and challenging, then it will be fun.' As Nathen prayed for something in his heart, the system had a reaction to it.

[ Ding ]

[ Detected that, host wishes for a difficult journey ]

[ To fulfill the host's wish, the system is being updated. ]

[ The update is complete ]

[ Difficulty of the missions has been set to Hardcore Mode ]

[ Host, good luck on your new adventure ]

Nathen, who was floating up, suddenly stopped and shot downward like a meteor.

However, there was one thing that he was heavily confused about.

"Why is it in hardcore mode!?"

With that shout, he vanished from the place and was launching toward a star in the universe.

...

Vibra Star System, Ruminar Planet

Inside a high-tech hospital that was made of metal alloys, a man was currently in a coma.

The man was 18 years old and had short black hair. He had sharp eyebrows and a deadpan face if he was conscious.

A doctor and a nurse in white were standing beside his bed.

Peeeep

"It seems the patient is dead. Another person died." The doctor sighed and was about to call the morgue department when suddenly the man shot up from the bed and looked around in panic.

The doctor and nurse saw that he was looking around with wide eyes. The man got out of bed and went to the window to see a futuristic world with old-fashioned elements.

However, the man said something that left the doctor and nurse dumbfounded.

"It feels so nice to breathe real air!" It was none other than Nathen who had occupied this body.

He was shocked to see a little futuristic world, but he felt a sense of contentment when he felt the atmosphere with his own skin.

"The sun... I missed you. I will never put an umbrella on!"
