<p>A disembodied soul floated in front of what appeared to be a cloud of darkness, the cloud pulsed growing small then big and it moved all around in swirling patterns never to remain in one place too long.</p> <p>Well, this soul once was a man, but it died, no, not it – He; Even in death he had a strong sense of self. He looked around there was only emptiness and this nebulous ever-changing blob of darkness.</p> <p>The soul felt the overwhelming pressure coming out of this cloud. There were only a few things to assume.</p> <p>"Are you here to take me to the afterlife?" He asked still uncertain in ability of this cloud to speak.</p> <p>But, oh it spoke, directly into his mind. "Mortal," the booming voice penetrated his very core, "there is a life after, but not the one you might expect." The cloud of darkness surrounded him from all sides. "I've won your soul and so you will be reincarnated."</p> <p>He didn't remember gambling or selling something so important…</p> <p>The entity continued. "Worry not, Mortal, I'll put you in one of my worlds. In a place where no one would expect, so you'll be safe for a while."</p> <p>"This world, it's not Earth?" He asked having a hunch already.</p> <p>"A world of strife and magic; a harsh place. But be not afraid, I shall bestow upon you a few boons; the standard sort."</p> <p>He had a hundred questions he wanted to ask, but he felt his soul body to become overwhelmed by the power the entity was emitting. The swirling cloud of darkness thundered and lit with purple colour, much like a thunderstorm, and then one of the stray bolts of lighting hit him directly; likely on purpose. And then it hit again and again. While it was scary it only tickled his soul a bit. The lightning bolts were harmless but they did a thing, or three…</p> <p>Three lines of text floated in his vision:</p> <p>[Perk Resurection [1] obtained.]</p> <p>[Perk Language Comprehension obtained.]</p> <p>[Perk Chaos Blessed obtained.]</p> <p>The last one sounded ominous. It made him wonder about what sort of entity this was.</p> <p>"Off you go, Mortal."</p> <p>Everything went black, he didn't even get to ask the name of the entity or even the place he will be… reincarnated?</p> <p>=====</p> <p>NOTE: This is an isekai crafting/farming story with slice of life elements + governing your settlement. Or at least it will attempt to be such.</p> <p>NOTE #2: In later chapters the story takes a darker turn, and our MC becomes more Dark alighted (Chaotic Evil or smg). There are some morally dubious choices made.</p> <p>Participator of Writathon</p>
