WELCOME USER! You have just received the amazing opportunity to become the next host of THE SYSTEM!

Huh? What's going on? My first reaction is to shake my head to get some clarity, but I quickly realize I can't. WHAT THE HELL?! I CAN'T SEEEEEE!!?!?

Due to the brutal end you've experienced, the SYSTEM has taken the liberty of deleting your memories to avoid trauma…..as well as deleting some decidedly insignificant memories.

Brutal end?! I DIED?! That doesn't make sense. I swear I was….wait….what was i doing??? I can't remember. Panic begins flooding my mind as I suddenly realize I can't remember tons of things, I can barely remember my first name! David!

Strangely enough, other memories flood in. Memories of stories…games…movies. It seems all my fictional memories remained intact. Easily recalling my favorite movies like Lord of The Rings, or Harry Potter. Hell I suddenly realized that I'd been acknowledging the voice of a SYSTEM, something I'd read in stories before.

And as if noticing my shift in the thoughts the system suddenly perked up

Please select a class user.

[Rogue][Knight][Smith][Archer][Healer][Summoner].....

Suddenly a list with dozens of classes appeared before my eyes? Eyes??? That isn't quite right….more like the eternal blackness my consciousness was currently enveloped in….I took in the sight of the list reading the pros and cons of some classes, for example a ranger typically was a great marksman with several useful survival skills to boot. But I was a lazy, sit back and relaxed type of guy at heart, a big enjoyer of strategy games like civilization or halo wars. I didn't want to die after all.

Scrolling through the list. Summoning, Necromancy, Golem building…. I even saw a route for raising offspring and having them fight and forge for food like a queen ant. I shuddered at the thought, rather not be forced to be too idle and give birth all day…..

I picked what I thought best

Traits:

[Mana gifted]

As a Necromancer you are naturally blessed with the mana necessary to begin your journey.

Huh? This is strange, no name or race??? Then again I'm in a black void, maybe I haven't gone to a new world yet…would I have to go through birth again!?!

Congratulations USER! As a farewell gift for successfully being reborn in a new world, a random reward will be selected from a known universe of your wish

Farewell gift!!! You haven't even explained what the hells going on or why you picked me!!!!

DING! Random Draw complete, please select 1 of the 3 options!

[The Force][X-Gene][Godzilla Egg]

....really??? The force? From Star wars? Let me consider the other 2 options first. X-Gene has the potential to be extremely broken or I could end up deformed and ugly with a measly power…. Godzilla Egg….what could i even do with that, i doubt i could feed it before it decided to eat me

The force…. With enough skill I could potentially gain a myriad of abilities, from keen battle instincts to healing, something a necromancer would sorely lack…. The choice is easy

TRAIT GAINED!

[One with THE FORCE]

THE FORCE usually shares a symbiotic relationship with all its hosts, YOU are its first parasite! The force is unable to separate from you, and you from it! Everywhere you go it goes!!!

Huh!?! I wasn't expecting to suddenly be labeled a parasite and at the same time a new feeling suddenly hit me. Clear as day with all my other senses being seemingly inoperable, a new 6th sense, a strange tingling in my consciousness with my mind struggling to reach it.

Good Luck USER, become strong and use your 2nd chance well!!!

WAIT!!!

…

There was no response, The SYSTEM was gone, leaving my consciousness in a black void. It took a few moments of pause before I finally got my bearing. Mostly taking in everything that just happened. A part of me is welling in excitement at the thought of what's to come…The smarter part panicking over the fact I couldn't do anything.

Time passes and after several moments of being hit HARD by denial, I decide to see what I can do. Looking over my stats once more I notice that my health and stamina seemed to be unknown, probably from the fact that I haven't been born yet, at least that's what I'm going to assume for now…

Not noticing anything else of interest in my stats I try to sink into my mind, looking for 2 things…mana or better yet the force. I didn't actually have a good concept of the force, from what I can remember it was some incomprehensible advanced consciousness spread throughout the galaxy influencing the entire galaxy as well…

As I thought of this it almost felt like an idea hit me from the back of my conscious, vaguely feeling like what i imagined a mental mocking eye roll would feel like coming from something that looked down on me

What the hell? Had the force just rolled its eyes???? It doesn't even have eyes!! Despite the somewhat rude gesture I tried reaching out for the source of the feeling in my mind

I spent the next minutes or what might've even been hours reaching for the source of the feeling, whenever I would feel myself getting close it would suddenly back away as if moving to avoid my touch. I didn't give up though, it was incredibly frustrating, even at one point yelling at the top of my lungs?mind?

I found myself experiencing some kind of physical pain from the strain of my continuous efforts but finally, I managed what felt like scraping something

DING! SKILL GAINED!

[Force Sensitive] - LVL 1/10

Increases the strength and efficiency of force related abilities.

And suddenly that scraping feeling turned into a solid touch. The joy hit me almost as hard as the exhaustion that just rammed its way into my mind, I felt myself blacking out almost immediately but i kept trying to fight it off

Ughhh…..i feel…so drained….

[Mana gifted], [One with THE FORCE]

My mind sparked with a hint of joy but only for a moment before I noticed my SP had changed to -?, the fatigue seemed to catch up with me as well as i found myself just stopping, letting absolute thoughtless processless existence take over. A complete BLACKOUT of my existence

An unknown time of blanking out took place before my mind seemed to finally realize what existence was again, my conscious thought barely hanging on in the gentle embrace that was my current existence.

Let's hold off on using the force for a second… thinking it's a wise choice considering you're knocked out for an unknown amount of time from overuse.

I attempt to try out mana, but nothing happens. I spend the next few minutes chanting out "Raise Undead" but I don't feel anything, not a spec of any feeling whatsoever. At least the force gave me a little push in the right direction before forcing me to waste time on trying to catch it. I clearly had my stats read 50 MP, but no matter what I did it never went down.

Completely unsure of what to do about the mana situation I end up defaulting back onto the force, and HOLY CRAP! Its so much easier to connect with! I feel it encompassing my being. Surrounding me slightly. YES! YESSS!!! Please Force help me find out what's going on!!!! I start praying

As if responding to my genuine prayers I feel the faintest movements around myself, like a gentle brush of wind, but with my current lack of any feeling whatsoever it felt clear as day!

And what gave me the mental image of gentle wind swirled into my being

DING! SKILL GAINED!

[Force Sight] LVL 1/10

Channel the force to see beyond what your eyes can

HOLYYY CRAP YES!!! I AM ONE WITH THE FORCE AND THE FORCE WAS WITH ME!! I suddenly had a feeling crawl from the black recesses of my mind that felt oddly like a smirk. But nevermind that, I CAN SEE!!!

Focusing on my new ability I finally got a strange new form of vision, no color, no depth…. Only what seemed to be an outlining of the world around me, as if contrasting the edges in a striking white against black surfaces.

The important thing however was that I finally got a good look at myself! I was…I wassss…what the hell was I???

I looked like just some random glub of spherical meat, floating in the air.

Looking around, I swear that I can see the cylindrical edge of glass containing my strange body.

THERE'S NO WAY! AM I??? A CLONE!?

Swelling up with excitement, the clone wars was one of the most exciting events to happen in star wars, and with a System he didn't doubt that he would literally be the most dangerous clone ever created. He could see it now! An unfeeling, unrelenting droid army against an unfeeling, unrelenting undead army.

After taking a moment to fantasize a bit, I begin attempting to look further around myself, feeling a slow build up of exertion overcoming my psyche, but not enough to deter me. I move past the edges of my glass container, seeing some electronic components imbued into the walls surrounding my chamber. I immediately come across another birthing chamber

Ahh yes a pod brother, or batch brother…. Still just a clump of cells for now but someday we'd be fighting in the trenches alongside one another against thousands of droids.

I CAN'T WAIT

Bursting into joyous laughter, before realizing something

Wait….i don't remember the cloning pods looking like this. The pod was surrounded on all sides and had a cylinder shape, which was different from the open air pods kamoans typically used.

Confused, i try to look further around to look for answers, moving maybe another 15 yards through one pod after the other before hitting a stop

Huh??? I can't see anymore, turning around the details come back into view, looking forward again there's…Nothing. A pitch black nothingness directly ahead of me, I tried moving my conscious forward but I couldn't. What confused me most was that there wasn't even a strain of effort preventing me from going forward, in fact I felt confident my ability should allow me a much farther range at least.

Then I noticed something at the corner of my vision, a small detailed outline slowly being filled

Huh? getting closer, noticing the slow creeping growth of the outline outward toward the pitch black nothingness.

taking a moment to consider before a thought struck me. Is this…is this the edge of the force??? I traveled around following its edge, noticing it made a near perfect sphere around me as its center. The entire space slowly expanding at a snails crawl

What the hell!? Is this all the force encompasses??? That doesn't make sense!!! Is this not Star wars??? That thought wasn't necessarily a bad thing but it did rain on my parade. Quickly throwing my dreams of brotherly warfare against hordes of droids away I reassessed my surroundings. Birthing pods in all directions, above, below, left and right

If I wanted answers I'd either have to wait to be born or for the force to expand far enough to see further out…

With not many options I canceled force sight, the drain of its usage slowly exhausting me. I found it interesting that force abilities didn't appear to affect my mana, which means it's a completely separate power structure.

Looking over my stats one more time I was happy to see my SP returned to normal and after a bit of thinking i eventually settled on the idea of upgrading all my force related abilities, maybe experimenting a bit with what I could do. It was gonna be a while before I was born by the looks of it….
