The Void

[We wish to give you a new life but in a different world] said the first.

Marq didn't know what to think, he had read stories and seen animations about people being reincarnated but never thought he would be one of the people given this option.

[But to accept this offer you must reign supreme in this new world] said a third.

"What do you mean by reign supreme?" Marq asked.

[To crush any opposition to yourself and force others under you control] said all three in unison.

Marq who had grown up poor understood what it was like to get constantly bullied and tormented by others. He decided to walk it off and always show kindness and help others who were in situations worse than his. This was until he was shot by that mugger. The only emotions that had filled his heart were anger and hatred.

"I accept." Marq said feebly.

Once again The Embodiment spoke in unison, [We will grant you the Modern System and you will now be known as Erik of the Phoenix Clan.]

(The Phoenix Clan?), Marq thought to himself.

"What era is this other world in?", Marq asked.

[In you world times 800 A.D. or The High Middle Ages] said the first.

[This world is not similar to what you have experienced in your world but there are some who are born with "Power" but magic does not exist] said the second.

[By Power we mean enhanced strength, sight, hearing and thought] said the third.

[The Continent that you will be born on is the continent of YFir in the North] said the second.

[You will be born as the next head of the clan use your early years to plan your course of action for your success] said the first.

Marq was at a loss for words he would be reincarnated as a Viking in the Middle Ages and was supposed to take over the world with this system. He still didn't know where he was he only knew the three figures were one being.

[Your are in the place known as the Void] said the Embodiment.

[We are able to perceive your thoughts and relay messages back to you if we see fit for a response] said the first.

Now knowing that he didn't even have the privacy of his own head to himself he gave up on trying to question these beings and where they were truly from. Wait he didn't even have a head so how in the world was he thinking right now. Forget that the answer would probably shatter his whole concept of reality.

[Lastly you will develop the world into one that is modern in respects to Earth] said the third one.

[And with that we send you off to your new body in the world known as Kentron three times the size of Earth, good luck Erik] said the Embodiment as they disappeared.

======================================

-------- The Phoenix Clan ---------

"Here he comes the next Jarl." said a woman.

The room was filled with people from the entire village. As the Jarls' wife had just went into labor with her first child. These people all sat in quiet while waiting for the Jarl Erling to arrive. Today was a day of celebration the next Jarl of the clan was being born in this very room.

"IS MY BOY HERE YET, LET ME THROUGH." said a giant man.

As he pushed his way though the crowd, he finally locked eyes with his wife and quickly went to hold her hand. The man was six foot, seven inches, he had a great beard and was extremely ripped. Just as he grabbed her hand she pushed one last time and finally their son was born. Just as the she looked at her child in her hands she thought of a name right on the spot.

"His name is Erik." She said weakly.

She then passed out after speaking those few words. This woman was fair skinned, beautiful and hand long red hair. This wasn't unusual for a woman to pass out after giving birth it was actually normal for these people. Erling picked up the small child with red hair and his deep brown eyes and held him up for all to see.

He then screamed," THE NEXT JARL IS BORN AND HIS NAME IS ERIK AND MAY HIS NAME STRIKE FEAR AND TERROR INTO OUR ENEMIES."

The Entire room was now filled with a vast amount of noise. So much noise that from the outside you couldn't tell where it was coming from. This was what a true family looked like in Erlings eyes and to him Erik was a great name meaning forever ruler. To Erling his boy would rule forever and would never had to worry about age for he was Erik son of Erling the Great.
