1 Game Over: Restart
In a few seconds, I found myself playing from my computer to floating in an empty space that lacked any things beyond being a black emptiness and my body being present. And then a voice started to speak, seemingly coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
"Greetings, I am Gaia the will of your world, I am sorry to tell you that your death was a mistake from my part, because of my mistake and the good karma that you have I will allow you to reincarnate in that universe that you humans call Star Wars with a gift from my part, I hope that you will use it well and have a good life."
With that last word everything in my eyes brightened up and I found myself surrounded by a bright light and then a glowing blue pop up appeared floating before me and said:
-----------------------------------------
[Game Over, do you wish to restart?]
[YES]X[NO]
-----------------------------------------
"Hmm, yes, who would choose no." Another pop-up appeared after choosing the 'YES' option. "Now let's see what it says."
[Congratulations, you have been granted a gift by the will of the world, Gaia. The gift after having getting accustomed to your soul and personality has chosen to manifest itself in the form of a system called 'The Gamer'. Welcome to "Star Wars: The Game."]
I closed the pop-up after reading it only to see another pop-up appearing.
[Welcome to the character creation. You will be able via the interface to change the look, race etc. of your character, or more precisely of your new body. Reminder: you will start the game as an 8 years-old child.]
The second I finished reading the pop-up a screen appeared showing the body of a human male, on the right different options were shown, race, hair, eyes, talent, trait.
"No need to make it complicated, I will just make myself a human body." I murmured aloud while looking at the screen.
Playing with the parameters for a bit I had a flash of inspiration and I instantly began to follow it. White hairs, black eyes, a dashing and handsome face, and a name that every fan of GoT would know, Aegon Targaryen!
'In my past life I was a gamer, but also an otaku, so in this life, I want to be a handsome and strong man!' was my thought. After having chosen my appearance I began to look at the species interface. There weren't really any appealing species, as I was about to select the human race I saw from the corner of my eyes an option that I didn't saw previously.
Custom race. Selecting this option I could choose different traits and talents for the member of my race. Going through the talent and trait section it could be summed like this: It was a Stellaris interface.
Right like in the game Stellaris! The system gave me 5 points and I could choose different traits that would be inherent for my descendant and I but I the traits cost a different number of points, I can choose as many traits as I want but I can't go past 5points.
***
In the end, I choose those traits:
[Intelligent: This species is highly intelligent and enjoys faster technological progress. (Cost:2)]
[Quick Learners: Members of this species are quick to learn from experiences. (Cost:1)]
[Venerable: This species can grow to an age that commands dignity and respect. (Cost:3)]
And because I was over the limit of the 5 points I had to choose a negative trait:
[Slow Breeders: This species reproduces at a slow rate, lowering population growth. (Cost:-1)]
***
For the talent selection I could see a lot of option here are a few examples:
[Spirit roots: All the member of this species can naturally cultivate Qi and are unnaturally talented.]
[Innate Dao of Face-Slapping: The member of this species are known for slapping face. Sometimes literally.]
[Sword Child: Member of this species are extremely talented in the way of the sword.]
None of this talent really enticed me, I was about to choose the Spirit Roots talent when one of them I previously skipped came to my mind.
[Child of the Force: The member of this species can use the force innately since the moment they are born and are favored by it.]
It was the perfect one, wasn't it? I was going to the Star Wars Universe, so using the force that is everywhere is the best solution, buy one get two right? Without wasting more time I choose 'Child of the Force' as talent and clicked on the done button.
[Name of the species: Targaryen.]
Confirmed?
Confirmed.
Ding!
-----------------------------------------
[You will be sent into the tutorial area after finishing the character creation, are you ready?]
[YES]X[NO]
-----------------------------------------
Closing my eyes for a moment I mentally said: 'Yes'. And then everything in my eyes blackened out. I fell asleep with a smile on my lips knowing that when I wake up it would be the start of my adventure.

Meanwhile, our MC was waiting for his tutorial.
In a temple hidden on a mountain, an old man with a wise face and long beard sitting in meditation opened his previously closed eyes revealing a pair of brightly lit eyes akin to a star and started to talk with a profound voice filled with the vestige of time.
"I sense a disturbance in the force... why is the force cheering?"
