"Who are you? Why should I remember you?" the young man asked.

Ning was a little surprised. 'Did I hurt his soul too badly? Did he lose memories?' he asked the system.

"My… soul?" the young man asked as he looked at his own hands again. "Argh! I'm a ghost!" 

"Sigh, you're not a ghost, you're a soul. You've been reincarnated," Ning said. Having to explain it all over again felt annoying, but what else could he do?
