Rahen sighed remembering everything. Since he had already been reincarnated there was nothing he could do.
[ Completed achievement: 1st reincarnation

"Oh, my golden spoon is here." The rewards quickly recovered him from depression. When he recovered his memory he also received basic information on how to operate the system, so he called out "status" and a semi transparent green coloured screen appeared in front of his eyes.

===============================
Rahen felt bad seeing his stats but he didn't think too much about it since he would improve them in the future. Rather he focused on his newly obtained skill and a description of the skill appeared in front of his eyes.
[Skill: Inspect
Allows the user to check other organisms' status info. Information displayed is based on host's and skill level.
Usage cost: nil ]
Rahen read the description and knew that it was one of the best skills he could have. It could greatly help him avoid danger. As for his ability 'inventory' it was like a seperate space that allowed him to store non living objects.
Now the only thing left was the space stone that was stored in his inventory. He tried to take the stone out of his inventory but it didn't work since the space he was in was not large enough for that. He decided to first get out of there. Thinking that, he closed the system screen and focused on escaping that place.
It took him more than an hour to get used to his new fish like body of a larva, after which he took another hour to finally break a small hole in the shell through which bright light entered the place. Looking out through the hole he saw that he was floating on water surrounded by huge walls on all sides.
After a few attempts he enlarged the hole enough to go out. In the water he looked behind to see a cluster of dark coloured compartments. Using the skill 'inspect' he found out that the place was a cluster of mosquito eggs confirming that he was a mosquito larva now. Having nothing else to do he started swimming around.
[ Daily quest completed
Obtained reward
Exp +5
Credit +100 ]
After some time he heard the system's voice. "Oh I forgot about quests" he thought and opened the quests screen. Once again a semi transparent screen appeared in front of him displaying quests divided into daily quests, main quests and special quests.
Currently 'daily quests' had one quest listed, which was to swim for two hours. He had completed this quest already to get 5 experience points and 100 credits. From the information he had Rahen knew that credits were the currency he needed to buy things in the system shop, but the shop was currently locked so he couldn't use them.
'Main quests' also had only one quest listed which was to evolve from larva into adult mosquito. Other than that the special quest screen was empty with no quest mentioned. Having nothing else to look at, Rahen closed the screen.
"Hmm, what should I do now?" he thought. He already swam around the place and found nothing interesting so he decided to check out the space stone, with a thought a pale white watery circle appeared above his head. Before he could take a clear look at it, a black stone fell from it and sank to the bottom.
Rahen quickly swam to the bottom. There he saw the pitch black stone with many star-like images inside it. One look at it and it felt like he was looking at a whole universe rather than a stone. Just as he touched it he heard the system's voice.
[ soul item detected. Would you like to initiate bonding? ]
"Huh! What is a soul item?" Though he could already guess it, Rahen still decided to ask.
[Soul items are special items that can bond with the user's soul. Once bonded soul items can only be used with user's permission and can be stored inside the user's soul space.] He received a reply similar to what he had thought.
" Let's bond with it then."
After the command it took another half an hour to completely bond with the stone after which he touched the stone again, this time though he turned into a ray of light that disappeared into that stone.
As the bright light faded Rahen was completely bewildered by the scenery around him. He was now on a large island. The island was surrounded by vast ocean and was covered in dense forest except at the centre, where a large, ancient looking tower stood majestically. This circular tower had seven floors, looking at it felt like he was looking at the biggest mountain in the world which gave him a lot of pressure.
Rahen tried to reach the tower but since there was no water he couldn't swim in his larvae form.
"system, Where am I?"
[ Host is in the dimension created inside the space stone.] System replied.
"So the space stone has a whole new world inside and it now belongs to me, this is awesome." Rahen couldn't explain how excited he was, he couldn't believe he was in possession of such a great item.
"Let's return here when I can move." he sighed. Even though he had a whole world to himself, with his current situation he couldn't explore it.
With a thought he returned back, in front of the stone. The space stone then turned into a speck of light and entered his soul space through the space above his eyes and disappeared. Having nothing to do, Rahen spent the rest of the day being bored.
The next day he received the same daily quest which he quickly completed but the rewards that followed after levelling up disappointed him quite a bit. He only got a +0.1 stats increase to all the stats and 500 credits.
"Hey, isn't the reward a bit too low? At this rate I'll never become strong enough." He couldn't help but complain.
[ Physical stats awarded after each level up are given on the basis of the host's body constitution. Once the host reincarnates into a different body, stats will be adjusted accordingly. ]
"What do you mean by reincarnating into a different body?"
[ As it sounds, once host dies he will be reincarnated again into the form of a different organism by following the same process ]
"...."
"...."
"Isn't my golden spoon a little too big!" He exclaimed after digesting this new information.
