System after death

 He had seen many strange things in his life. After all, he was a transmigrator who lived two times and in two different worlds. One modern, once he thought 'Normal' earth, where people can communicate one another from different side of world and other more magical and supernatural in his eyes. Where magical creatures like dragons and phoenixes are residing and people are cultivating the strange and bizarre art of magic. In both worlds, he accumulated quite experience and knowledge, in his second life he even managed to become a strong magician and even established powerful sect, to which many powerful organizations were looking with fear and envy.

 But even with his vast knowledge, it was hard for him to tell what he was experiencing now. He was in a boundless dark space. There was nothing in the dark space other than some kind of blue holographic screen, which was showing thousands of different numbers without any kind of information.

 He could think and move in this space as he wanted, and it felt like he was alive. But the thing was that he died a long time ago, when he failed to breakthrough into the higher realm and died in the process. At first, he thought that this was an afterlife, but this wasn't his first time to die, and he knew what was happening after death. After death, people would go to the heavenly palace and be judged by a heavenly court. If he deserved rebirth, he would be reborn. If not, his soul would shatter and the person would stop existence. That was exactly what happened to him the first time and wasn't what he was experiencing now, so he quickly rejected the idea of that.

Then he thought that something had gone wrong, and he hadn't managed to go into the heavenly palace. But that was also unlikely, as perfect beings were residing in a heavenly palace and nothing would be missed from their eyes. He had other different ideas, but the more he thought about them, the more unlikely it was that that was the case. So, after some time, he stopped thinking about it.

 The place too where he woke up was bizarre. At first, he wanted to explore it. But he soon found out that, despite how much he tried, he couldn't find its beginning, ending or anything else that would be different from the dark void.

 So, all in all, he didn't have anything else to do other than look at the screen before him. Time and time again, looking at the constantly changing numbers on it. It was boring but better than anything else here.

 Now he was a little intrigued, as many numbers on the screen became zero and many more were following them. One after another until all the numbers on the screen became zero. And when that happened, the old screen disappeared and new notifications began to pop up.

[System merges with its host]

After this notification, thousands of different information merged with his mind. From this information he understood that he had awakened some kind of system. The system was called 'Sect management system' and, like its name was suggesting, it was mainly operating with merging on sect. There were sect missions and after missions were completed, the host would get a reward. There was a system shop, different lucky boxes and lucky spin, which needed Sect points to get.

It wasn't a complicated system and in his previous life he had seen this kind of trope in novels. So, it didn't take a while for him to figure out how everything was working.

[System merged successfully]

[Sect management system is activated]

[Good luck host on your way towards greatness]

After this, notifications stopped popping up and everything was consumed by silence again. But soon a small lough could be heard in this silence.

"Ha… Haha… Who would have thought that I would have awakened this system after my death." He said after fully digested all the information. With one look, it felt as if he was mocking the system that it was too late. But in reality, he was genuinely excited about this new discovery. Because, from the information which he got, he understood that if he would make his sect the most powerful in the world. He would get a chance to be reborn again. This may look like an insignificant gift for such a difficult task. After all, he would get that chance in the heavenly court as well. But in reality, this was the greatest gift that he could get right now. The thing was that, reincarnation wasn't something that could be obtained a couple of times. On the first try, people with average merit would get a chance to be reborn again. This was just a second chance and if a person wouldn't show some 'potential' on his second attempt, then he would be disregarded and denied from reincarnation.

He lived two times. On his first attempt, his life was average and the chance which he got from the heavenly court was nothing but a formality. The same thing could be said on his second attempt. Despite the fact that he became a powerful magician and famous figure, the merits which he accumulated in his life weren't that great. So, after his death, he thought that he would never get a chance to be reborn again. Which was really regretful because he had many things that he wanted to do in his life. But now things were different.

"System. Show me my status screen" he said with anticipation. Like before, a blue holographic screen appeared before him.

[Host: Arias Kraig]

[Age: 1000 years old]

[Magical realm: None]

[Physical realm: None]

[Talent: None]

[Sect: Nine reincarnation sect]

[Sect level:<<<>>> (Will be detected after host leaves the System space)]

[Sect Point:0]

"Hmm… So, after I leave the system space, the system will decide what grade my sect is? This seems reasonable… And I lost all the power and talent?" He said, but didn't think much about it, as he was now dead and didn't need any of it for the time being.

"It's better to leave first and see how my sect is doing. After that I will decide how I should develop it." He said and commanded the system. From his memories, Arias understood what this place was. It was a system's space specially designed by a system to host his soul till a thousand years passed. This space was only temporary and would be destroyed as soon as he left it. So, he wouldn't have a chance to come here again. But looking at the gloomy eternal darkness, Arias had little to no desire to come here ever again.

[Does the host really wishes to leave space?]

"Yeas!" Arias said without much thought. After that, the notification before him became blurry, until it was consumed by eternal darkness. He felt incredibly tired for the first time since he came here. He couldn't help himself and closed his eyes.
