Darkness, silence, peace.
These are the sensations Arlecchino felt at the brink of her demise.
To most death was a terrifying concept but to her it was a much needed rest.
She did not remember how she met her demise as that seemed to be a fuzzy memory. But she still knew that she is dead, it's a strange feeling knowing you are dead without remembering how you died.
Arlecchino saw nothing but absolute darkness and nothingness as she opened her eyes? Although she was not sure if she even has eyes or a body.
But she still could tell somehow that she was in a place devoid of anything and everything.
And she could feel what ever was left of her was slowly starting to dissipate as if being slowly digested by the dark void all around her.
But this situation did not last long.
As she felt an inexplicable force pulling what ever remained of her existence to a distant place beyond this empty void.
During this process her consciousness gradually became drowsy and in what felt like mere minutes she completely lost consciousness while still being dragged to some distant place by the inexplicable force that surrounded whatever was left of her Existence.
[World : Nyvelune]
[07th day of the 07th lunar month, New lunar calendar.]
In the heart of a vast and dangerous forest filled with many dangerous beasts and monsters, lay the body of a girl the age of 15 or 16 years, her body has lost all warmth that a living being should possess. The girls slender neck had a deep gash that was clearly caused by a sharp object slashing directly at her neck.
Suddenly, the girls lifeless body began to spasm and twitch.
Gradually her skin, flesh, bones, and organs began to liquefy in to a thick, blood red liquid and the liquid slowly condensed in to a crimson sphere the size of an ostrich egg, pulsing with a faint otherworldly energy.
And after the sphere stabilised its form it began to deform akin to clay being moulded.
The crimson sphere then started it's second phase of metamorphosis, slowly transforming and taking on a human form.
This human form was that of a young teenage girl of approximately 15 to 16 years of age.
She has white and black coloured hair that reaches her delicate white neck, her hands were strangely dark black coloured all the way up to just above her forearms, her finger nails where sharp unlike a normal humans, with the nails on her index fingers taking on a crimson red colour.
She had exquisite white skin that reminds people of the cold winter snow.
A few minutes passed in the silent forest as the girls eye lids twitched slightly and she opened her eyes for the first time in what felt like an eternity in absolute darkness.
The girls eyes where also quite peculiar, the pupils of her eyes where black with a red "X" like mark at the centre of her black pupils.
The moment the girls eyes opened she had a puzzled look in her eyes with obvious confusion, but there was no panic at all in her confused gaze only an unnatural calmness.
The confusion in her eyes disappeared as quickly as it appeared and she calmly started to observe her surroundings.
After observing her surroundings and making sure there were no imminent dangers around her, she slowly got up from the ground.
In this process the girl realised that her body felt very weak even getting up was a very difficult task for her, but she still gritted her teeth and forced herself to slowly move under a nearby huge tree that towered over many other trees in this vast forest.
After sitting down under the huge tree the girl started to inspect and understand her body's current situation.
She keenly noticed that she was already fully clothed in a black long sleeved shirt and white short pants, a suit that brought back unpleasant memories for her.
"What a peculiar situation, knowing that I have died without any recollection of how I died" the girl muttered while getting her thoughts together.
"Lyney, Lynette, Freminet... I am sorry, It is a pity that I could not give you all a proper farewell, but I will leave the [House of the hearth] in your capable hands.
After all, Lyney I have already trained and instilled in you the necessary skills and knowledge to become the next [Father] of the [House of the hearth], although I know it will be difficult for all of you the only course of action that we can take at the moment is to keep moving forward" the girl said with a rare hint of tenderness in her eyes.
After muttering to herself the girl fell silent again. But before the girl could say anything else a strange mechanical voice that appeared out of nowhere in her mind caught her attention.
[Ding!]
[System initialising.....]
[Inspecting the hosts current condition....]
[It is detected that the host is in a weakened state]
[Confirmed! No other anomalies detected in the host]
[Activating all system functions]
[Host status function - Activated]
[Inventory function - Activated]
[Achievement function - Activated]
[Wheel of fate function - Activated]
[Fate traversal function - Activated]
[Mission catalogue function - Activated]
[Fate plunder function - Activated]
[It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance host, I am the Multiverse Thread System]
The girl waited without interrupting the voice that appeared in her mind out of nowhere, until it was done speaking.
Then she fell in to deep contemplation.
To say that she was not surprised by this sudden situation would be a false statement, she was indeed surprised and did not know how to react to the being who suddenly spoke in her mind.
(What an intriguing situation this is, if this unknown entity wanted to harm me in any way it had plenty of opportunities.
So it is almost certain it does not want me dead, at least not yet.
And It is highly likely that this unknown entity is somehow related to my rebirth in this new world, but nothing in this world is free, I am not naive enough to think this entity is doing all this out of pity or for charity) the girl thought to herself.
[The host is indeed correct in assuming that this system had a part in your rebirth, but please do not worry, the main purpose of this system is to assist the host to breakthrough your limits and get stronger]
(As expected, This being who calls itself [The Multiverse Thread System] has mind reading capabilities.
Though I shouldn't be surprised, if it has the ability to reincarnate me to a new world, then mind reading abilities are nothing worth mentioning) the girl thought to herself, while still not fully trusting the System.
"Well then system I have many questions that need answers" the girl said with a serious expression on her face.
