Prologue

Damn where am I? It seems that last night I just calmly went to bed, then why do I feel so bad and I'm clearly not at home.

Standing up and looking around, I realized that I was missing something important to every person - the body. Oddly enough, but I was not seized by panic, despair or similar feelings. On the contrary, I felt joy. If I can think calmly, then this means that life after death is not a pitiful fantasy, but a reality.

I was about to examine the room in which I found myself, when a voice came from behind me.

- You finally came to your senses. Wonderful! - Said a man.

Turning around, I was about to answer, but stunned, I froze more carefully considering the appearance of the speaker. Those eyes, mouth, nose, facial expression - it was all exactly the same as mine. But he looked somehow more perfect and young. I was 25 years old, and he looked like 19, but something inside me tells me that he is clearly much older.

- Who are you? And why do you look just like me? – I asked directly, unable to bear curiosity.

"You asked the right question, and I will answer it, but I ask you not to interrupt me," this guy said. After examining it more closely, I realized that we are now in something like a throne room. The guy himself sat on the throne and looked at me with some strange look.

- In fact, everything is obscenely simple. I can say that you are only from a parallel universe. In general, my life until the age of 24 was the same as yours, but I suddenly managed to gain tremendous strength. Although then it was not at all a huge power, but only a small chance to get this power, but I managed and achieved power. In the end, I became the highest god, but only I had nothing left to live for. Everything that I had, I destroyed with my own hands for the sake of gaining strength. And at some point I decided to do the same thing that most gods do - games with the fate of people. But at some point I got tired of it, but because of boredom I did not stop it. After some time, I decided that my entertainment should bring at least some benefit and began to make "chosen ones" out of ordinary people and send them to other worlds so that they could rise. But this idea was not the most successful, and these "chosen ones" just died like flies. Initially, I didn't care about it, after all, for me it was all just entertainment, but at some point, more and more conflicts began to appear among the gods, to which even I was sometimes drawn. And then the cultivation of supporters became not just entertainment, but a necessity. I began to give my "chosen ones" more significant gifts and interfere more in their lives, but even when they became gods and gained great power, I ended up only suffering losses. Because of what? It's simple - because of betrayal. Time after time they betrayed me and I had to personally kill them. That was until I came up with a brilliant plan. I decided to make "chosen ones" not ordinary people, but special ones - my parallel versions. After all, who better than yourself can be trusted in this world. And even among these parallel versions, I chose the most similar to myself. And in the end, this plan succeeded. Now I simply seek out my parallel versions, give them the same power that I once received myself, and send them to a random world where they can acquire sufficient power. And you, I think, realized that you were exactly the one I chose. "Finally," he agreed.

At that time, I was shaking with barely restrained ... delight. You could say my dream has just come true.

I was about to speak when my parallel version decided to continue.

- No time for questions. I don't have much time, so I don't think we can talk heart to heart. Finally, I will tell you about your new power. I think you'll figure out how to use it pretty quickly. You can call it a system, but in fact it just looks like one. There are no levels, stat points, life bars or anything like that. In fact, it simply displays the amount of your energies in a numerical value and shows the level of development of your body, mind and soul. But don't be afraid, the system is just an addition, the power itself is something much better. In fact, this is the absorption of souls, but only unlike the usual one, it is divided into two different abilities, we can say active and passive. The active ability simply absorbs the soul, transferring to you about 70% of the power of the absorbed, in fact, you will receive 70% of all energy reserves and levels of development of the body, mind and soul. Memory is not transmitted directly, but takes root in instincts. In fact, you will know all the tricks and abilities of the absorbed, but at the same time there is no load on your personality. The digestion of the soul will depend on its age and your own strength. During digestion, you simply cannot use the active ability. The passive ability works much easier. She can be said to eats pieces from the soul and assimilates them, distributing approximately 5% of the characteristics of the killed between the body, mind and soul. And to use a passive ability, you won't even need to personally kill the target, you just need to be in the radius of the ability, and it will affect everyone who died within it and whom you did not absorb with the active ability. The radius itself is equal to the level of development of your soul, that is, one level of development of the soul is equal to one meter, but when your soul becomes very strong, you can turn off this ability, besides, the radius after one hundred thousand increases already more, that is, not one level The development of the soul no longer gives a meter of radius, but one kilometer. It seems to have explained everything. Okay, when you get to the new world, you will find yourself in the body of a 2-year-old child. Now, go. - My interlocutor explained to me the work of the ability, and opened a portal in the middle of the hall.

- Oh yes. Almost forgot to say. Thus, I have already given power to 3575607658 of my parallel versions, but only 73 of them survived and ascended. So don't be overconfident and know that you can always die.

Those were the last words I heard before I passed out.
