Chapter 4 Reborn
Zavier could not believe what he had just heard. Could there be such a good thing that was reserved for someone as miserable and unlucky as himself?
He was filled to the brim with excitement and thrill. Almost instantly his choice had changed. If he was going to have a healthy body in his next life, then there was absolutely nothing to hesitate about. He could finally do all the things that he had longed to do in his last life but had never had the chance to.
Before he could utter his answer that was in the positive this time, the collective consciousness beat him to the punch.
"Not only this, but you also have the opportunity to choose a system that will guide you in the new world that you will be reborn in. All these systems are unequalled and will help you reach the peak of the world. This way you can experience the joy of living to the utmost so that you can experience this side of life as well. Think of it as the compensation for having led such a horrendously miserable life."
Zavier was unable to take it all in. At first, he was still gloomy about the choice that he had to make but all of a sudden, the collective consciousness had showered him with the boons and blessings that it had previously been hiding from him.
Zavier at that moment wanted to curse the cosmic consciousness for taking this long to get to the point.
"What options do I have this time?"
The cosmic consciousness took some time to explain the concept of the systems to Zavier who was still not particularly clear regarding what a system actually was.

After finding out that the system was the key to evolution to the peak of the world, Zavier was unable to hold himself back and asked for his options once again.
"There are various paths to choose from. Each corresponding path has a respective system that you can choose from. As such what you have to do is to choose a path that you intend to explore to the extreme in the next life and the system will be your guide. The paths that lie ahead of you are Magus, Mesmer, Dragon knight, Necromancer, Tamer, Hunter, Vampire, Werewolf, and many more."
Zavier was unable to bring himself to choose.
"Which one of these is the best one?"
"All of these paths are capable of taking you to similar height in your next life. You don't need to think that there is something that is worse than the other. For example, the Magus system can help you reach the peak of the world through the understanding of magic while the Alchemist system can help you become the greatest alchemist of all times in the history of the world. No matter what path you choose, you will have the potential to tread the path that no one has ever been to."
Zavier had missed out on all the things that he thought were worth experiencing in his past life. Seeing all these paths in front of him, he was unable to bring himself to choose just one of them and let go of all the others.
This would have left him with regret that he would never be able to let go of. He therefore decided to take another gamble even though he felt ashamed doing so.
The chance that cosmic consciousness had already given him was already more than enough, but he wanted to try to get some more benefit out of it, as is human nature.
"Ca…can I make a request?"
The voice of Zavier was somewhat timid at the beginning but then became somewhat steadfast.
"Let's listen to it first."
"All my life I only had things that I missed out on or things that I wanted to do but was never able to due to my health condition. I have had to choose between my health and having fun and enjoying life. That's not much of a choice. Now choosing between these systems makes me feel as if I am missing out on so much potential, so much experience, so much fun and so many opportunities. If it is possible, I want to choose all of them. According to what you said the end point of each system is the same and I will have the potential to reach the peak of the world then it wouldn't matter much if I had just one or all of them at the same time."
The cosmic consciousness was silent for a while after hearing his request as if it was taking its time to consider whether the request was feasible or outrageously inconsiderate.
If Zavier had been alive at this time, then he would have been sweating like crazy due to how nervous he was at this time.
"For what you have experienced in your past life, it isn't at all too excessive to grant your request."
As soon as the words of the cosmic consciousness fell, Zavier heard repetitive ding* sounds and a holographic screen appeared in front of him which displayed a message text with each ding* sound.
[Zavier Adams is now recognized by the Multi-system]
[You have learned the self-cloning technique]
[You can now create a clone of yourself that has the attributes as yourself]
"You need to understand that each of these systems is incredibly vast, and one body is unable to incorporate all these systems at the same time. The moment you learned the multi-system, you were also given a gift that will allow you to create clones of yourself. If you want to make use of the potential of each of these systems, you have to make clones of yourself so that each can follow a different path. This will help you realize the glory that each of these systems can bring you."
The words of the cosmic consciousness were the same as what the system screen messages showed him.
"Now that you have chosen, it is time for you to be reborn."
