-Elsewhere-

A rather large cave room with a smooth floor and rough ceiling and wall, those same walls are covered in shiny moss that lights up the place even if only dimly. At the end of the cave room, there is a huge door that could let about 60 people pass at the same time without any inconvenience. 

The previously 1000 souls were now appearing with physical bodies that Metina had said would match their soul, all kinds of humanoids appeared one after the other, none of them exactly monsters, but many of them half-human, with characteristics of various animals now being a part of them. Some got an additional pair of ears and a tail, others got more drastic changes such as fur and a more animalistic look, something that those familiar with some of the typical fantasy stories would call Beastmen or even demi-humans, all kinds of cases could be found around some even getting parts of sea creatures. 

"What the hell is this?!"

"Did she turn us into monsters?!"

"This is disgusting! Turn me back!"

"I'm finally a catgirl! How I longed for this moment!!"

"Please let me pat you just a bit."

"No, that's creepy, and my ears and tail feel weird if you touch them..."

"I don't know, I kinda like this, even my goods got upgraded, I could get used to this."

"Could you guys not be so loud? I can hear everything..."

"You're bothered with hearing! I can hear and smell everything! You guys are disgusting!"

"Hahaha! I'm finally a true Furry, kneel before Siverfox!"

Just as before, all kinds of reactions could be seen from people, some adapting better than others. 

Among all of them, there is a young man with grey skin, his silver platinum hair, silver eyes, a black jacket with multiple zippers and a redshirt under it, blackish swag pants, his shoes being black runner shoes, a chain wrapped and attached to each of his arms, as well as fingerless gloves on each hand.

(These hands... So, I really become Nihil?... At this point, I guess nothing is too absurd to be thrown out of the realm of possibility.) Nihil finally came to acknowledge his situation in a faction and ease that most wouldn't.

(I guess I should start by checking my status and abilities if what Metina said about this world having a game-like system is to be trusted.) Nihil concluded.

As Nihil called the commanded in the same faction he would have done in N.T.R. Online, something he didn't expect popped up.

[Overleveled system activated. Commencing the soul synchronization process.....

28%....

57%....

84%...

91%....

99%....

Process complete! Welcome to Iruthra, Host.]

Just like that, a purple floating window appeared right before Nihil and began a process before he could even say anything.

(A system? Like in one of those crazy novels I read back on earth?... How do I even have a system?) Nihil was mostly just confused about the origin of this system right now rather than anything else.

[Resport. The system is a product of the chain of unusual events the host has experienced. First, the Host's soul fused with a virtual avatar, and the system connected to said avatar, which was the base for the system, that together with the host's desire to "Be the highest leveled individual" worked as the outline, then later, the host came in contact with an immense amount of energy that activated and fueled the system, from then on the system has been working with the energy to stabilize the host and fully merge with the host at the same time, but then the host's soul was pulled out of the Void and the system had to use energy to prevent the corrosion of the host's soul, which resulted in the system requiring to enter sleep mode to recover energy. 

Not very long ago, the host received a new influx of energy which the system used to finally complete the merging process with the host when you activated the system just now.] The system responded to Nihil's question immediately.

(So, what you're saying is that when I 'died' in the game, not only did I fuse with the character Nihil, but I also with a part of the game's system which became your body?... 

Even if something that absurd happened, how could my soul fuse with a virtual character in the first place?) Nihil was genuinely confused, surprised, and baffled at how illogical the whole situation was.

[That is only possible because, under the system that governs the Omniverse, the mind is seen as the gateway to the soul, this meaning that something directly connected to the mind, similarly to how the 'game' the host was playing was, it will be indirectly connected to the soul.]

(So, my mind is just a one-way corridor to my soul?)

[Report. Precisely, it is so as the soul can not naturally leave the body through the mind.]

(Ok, that still sounds like something a lunatic would come up with to explain creating a cult, but at this point, I'll take any explanation for this madness.)

Nihil took a deep breath and let it sink in.

{Did you go crazy already, Hun-bun? I must say I didn't expect you to start talking to yourself this early on, I'm a bit disappointed.} Lucius said with the same smug smile and playful tone.

(And here I hoped you died or something.) Nihil answered with a deadpan expression and a tone that carried actual disappointment.

{Oh please, I'm not that bad, sugar. You'll get used to me in no time.} 

Nihil decided that ignoring Lucius would be the only way for him to keep what he thinks is what's left of his sanity after this whole 'reincarnation' process. 

 (System, what can you do?) Nihil posed the question he's been waiting on from the moment he heard he has a system.

[Report. The system has various functions, namely:

1-Status

2-Inventory

3-Store

4-World link(Uses-0/1)

5-Update(0/10,000-Not available)]

(I see, show me my status.)

(Why do I have two status screens?) Nihil asked.

[Report. That is the main function of the Overleveled system, for each new world the host visits, it will be possible to acquire a new status screen instead of letting the new one somewhat overwrite the old one. Thanks to that, the level cap of each world will become almost meaningless before the host, thus making you, Overleveled.]
