Nowhere

Li Xue was in an empty, dark place and couldn't help but cringe and sigh, she just didn't know whether from frustration or relief, the relief of having finally ended, she no longer needed to try hard to survive, after all now she's really dead.

But the frustration is due to the fact that she died due to the carelessness of those who should have been her allies, but in the end in that world where she was born, there were no true allies, they were all enemies, and she had already been born losing because she had the a woman's body, after all no matter how powerful a woman in that world is, men have always looked at her as an object that they may one day use to alleviate her physiological needs.

of course Li Xue will not say that she is a puritan, she understands that the human body has basic needs, but many women in her world had to make their bodies available to those men against their will in exchange for survival, Li Xue must be lucky to have been trained by her father since childhood and thanks to that she had a strength and intelligence superior to most of the men that surrounded her and that is why she did not have to undergo such acts, and for this reason alone she never gave way to these needs physical as well.

But all of that no longer matters, she is dead, perhaps her only regret is not having been able to pass her knowledge on to the next generation as her father, but that no longer matters either.

She let out another sigh of frustration with relief and closed her eyes in the darkness as she hugged her knees and hid her face hoping that her conscience would also disappear as well as everything else.

[Rebirth system activation in ... 1 .... 2 .... 3 .... 4 ..... 5 .... 6 .... 7 .... 8 .... 9 .... 10]

"Welcome to the soul-hiring system, Miss Li Xue," a mechanical, indifferent voice suddenly spoke in that empty, dark space.

Li Xue didn't know how to react to this, she knew she was dead, but in her world, she didn't believe in an afterlife or existence, when you died, you just died.

"Yes in your world you have no beliefs and it doesn't matter to me, I am the system of rebirth, I was created by a higher being who has control over several different world timelines, I am contacting you to tell you offer a rebirth contract in a different world under my creator's control just as his world is clear. "

Li Xue was surprised when it seemed that the systems could read her thoughts before she said them aloud, but soon she put that aside and focused on the next words in the system, it looked like she would have a new chance to live, only no longer in that mortal world into which she had been born, she could not help but have an expectation that she had long since lost, that of hope.

"So, Miss Li Xue, would you like to sign a contract with this system?"

Li Xue didn't even stop to think and just accepted immediately, after all it didn't matter what world she was in, nothing would be as bad as her original world.

"I will take this as a verbal confirmation, so now I will present you the rebirth contract with some conditions that must be accepted by you. First of all I would like to clarify that you will not be born in this new world but will be transmigrated to an existing body in that world where the original owner willingly offered after his death to be used in exchange for fulfilling one of his wishes which can also be seen as the soul's only regret, unlike you, this soul was liberally granted a new birth since it never hurt anyone in your life, but you Miss Li Xue did a lot of bad things, but as you did these things for survival and not for having a bad heart you were given the chance to transmigrate instead of being driven into limbo. Upon entering the new body you will receive all the original memories until the day of the original's death. Ah any questions about this explanation now? "

Li Xue was always smart and being able to understand and absorb a lot of information simultaneously was simple, but even she can't feel shocked when she understands part of what was known about the end of her life, wasn't having that knowledge dangerous?

"Oh, you don't have to worry that more detailed information will be erased from your memory when transmigrations are the only ones that will be kept will be the original soul and the basic contract information, but this will present itself to you in a way that is understandable to you. you, that is, you are different from person to person. So now I can go on to the right contract? (...) I will understand your silence as an agreement. Then you can see before you a contract format at the end of it you just you need to press your finger to accept the conditions. The first condition is related to the regret of the original body, for this condition this system will guarantee you a type of "golden finger", this being a reward for your late transmigration to the body of the original , as well as you can read in the contract. So now you would like to press your finger where indicated? Please hurry up Miss Li Xue, I have a lot of appointments after sending it to your new life. "

Li Xue was looking closely at the white screen with black letters in front of her, although she was not literally in physical form, but from the moment this contract appeared she felt more "alive" than was possible after she died.

(Place after death, in undetermined year)

PRESS HERE TO ACCEPT!

After reading the entire contract before her eyes Li Xue had nothing to lose and much to gain, although some information was unexplained, after all she was already dead.

She simply pressed her finger directly at the end of the contract and waited to go to a new world, with the hope that this time, perhaps, she could truly live.

People's Republic of China - 1961

Li Xue woke up stunned with an unbearable headache with a tangle of incomprehensible memories and images, mingling between memories of her life that was like a nightmare with new suffering.

When she opened her eyes she saw a thatched roof above her and if she looked around she could see mud walls. After realizing the situation around him it seemed that immediately the memories in his mind were organized chronologically making sense in relation to their location and period in the timeline.

In a few minutes she lay there connecting and I clearly understand that she was now Li Xue the orphan of the Li family from the YeCun village.

Suddenly a voice came from nowhere, playing directly in his head, so it seemed at least, it sounded in a robotic and indifferent tone in his mind.

"Hello, Miss Li Xue, welcome to your transmigration! I am assistant XIV of the System of Rebirth and Transmigration Co. I will help you to understand this new world and it is clear how to use the golden finger that was granted to you, besides clarifying his only condition to occupy that body, that is, the repentance of the original soul.

Li Xue was less than a millisecond confused and surprised by the voice, but soon a strange memory of a transmigration contract came to her mind making her clear about the fact that she was already dead and she was only alive because there was I accept to be transmigrated to that body.

"You said you are an assistant, so will you accompany me in this life?"

Li Xue had many doubts and questions, but the biggest problem for her, was having to be constantly observed, or rather, to know that she was being observed by a "death" system.

"Oh! I'm sorry Miss Li Xue, I will only be with you now to introduce you to all the necessary information, after that as the contract said in the first clause, the execution and conclusion of this new life is free and independent by your choice or risk. so we won't be together for a long time and that is really unfortunate, but I will be hoping that you will have a life full of happiness. "

Assistant XIV responded in a robotic way, but struggling to imitate a lively and friendly voice like that of telemarketers.

"Ok! Now we should focus on the important information again. So this wizard will start, first with respect to the world you are in, it is one of several worlds created with a certain method of ctrl + c and ctrl + v. So it has several similar worlds that are in different periods of time and with unique developments, in your case this world is still in a period in time still considered "backward" and with certain territorial conflicts, but for you it probably will not generate such big problems environment, since you currently live in a relatively peaceful location, how should you have noticed from the memories received from the original right? "

While the system shared this information with Li Xue, it automatically received this information in more detailed and even painful formats, as it was attached directly to her mind, the headache she had overcome, somehow became a thousand times worse.

She was sweating while lying on the kang, enduring the excruciating pain as if someone hit her directly on the head continuously, she began to be able to understand the information acquired, and from what she interpreted, despite the moment the country she was in, was in a troubled period involving major political, cultural and even social changes. But it was still far from a bad place to live, at least at the level of comparison of Li Xue, since with the only other country or even world with which to compare it was what they call apocalyptic.

"From what I see you have quick thinking, miss, so we will move on to the following topic which is the repentance of the original soul, as an assistant I will give you the feelings of the original soul regarding this repentance, I believe that with these emotions you will be able to understand . So can I start now? "

Li Xue was in a panic if only receiving information almost made her wish to die again, which will happen with other people's feelings entering her consciousness, she cannot avoid an expression of panic, on her face already totally pale and with cold sweat.

"Don't expect a ..."

[Enabling transmission of feelings in 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... ON!]

In one moment she was fine, and in the next she was shrinking in pain, but different from the headache, it seemed to cross her soul, it is as if the memories she had previously received indifferently were in black and white and suddenly they became memories in high definition, she was related with greater intensity be it with happy or sad memories, and it can be said that the original owner has a lot, but a lot more sad memories than happy, it is not for nothing that she he voluntarily gave his body in exchange for a chance at a real rebirth.

However, in this tangle of emotions there was a memory of the original that shone more along with his greatest regret, and for Li Xue, who had now joined totally not only with the body but partly with the heart of the original, it became his main objective to ensure that such end would not occur again, and when the real end comes, this time it would be without regret.

"Hey miss, try not to sink completely into the emotions of the original, otherwise you could end up in a bad state ok? To guarantee this, this assistant will finish the transmission now, you will have memories of those emotions but they will not be so strong, so now . TURNING OFF!"

After the transmission shutdown Li Xue awoke from her tangle, and realized that for an instant she saw herself as the original herself and saw regret as her own, she has never been so emotionally unbalanced before, after all to survive in the past life of her she could not have emotions, when colder and indifferent was better.

When you are finally free of that feeling it was like coming out of a storm, totally emotional and not at all rational thoughts can be frightening, because although the original soul does not have enough malice to vent its anger and hatred, in a way these emotions were trapped in his last moment, but Li Xue is lucky that the original was a person with a good heart, because in his last moments his regret had nothing to do with revenge, it only had to do with pity.

But somewhat different from the original, after feeling those emotions, Li Xue's only thoughts were full of cruelty towards those who hurt her, so she is relieved not to be completely connected to those feelings, because then she couldn't help herself. make someone as cruel as herself in her previous life. But while in that life it was necessary for survival, in that life it need not be cruel unless those who acted against the original try in that life to do the same things, so no one can blame it if it destroys them right?

"Miss? How do you feel now? Now you're back to your normal self right? So can we move on to the next topic now?"

"What topic is still missing?"

Li Xue couldn't help asking in a tone of irritation as she massaged her head with her fingertips, really physical pain and more psychological pain were making her really angry with this assistant, they really couldn't have simply told her what they wanted her to do. to do for the original, so that you can literally feel everything.

"Miss, of course you have the last, but the most special and exciting topic, your reward, or as we call it, your golden finger, to be able to live in the best possible way in this life. For that I will take you directly to reward and then start explaining it ok. "

Li Xue for a moment did not understand what Assistant XIV meant until he felt a sensation like she was falling and then he couldn't help but start cursing with all the bad words he knew.

[Starting the gold finger activation at 1 ... 2 ... 3 .... ON!]

Interdimensional Space

Upon opening her eyes and looking around Li Xue realized that she was no longer in the mud hut before, instead she could only see land around her despite, and although she could see everything around her, she could not identify a point of light, or the sun, so she couldn't tell if she was outside or inside, it was a strange sensation it's almost as if the soil she was on had its own light, just like the lake she could see far.

It was a very strange place, was there a sky or not? was there a beginning and an end? or all there was was where she was and as far as her vision could reach, she had never seen anything like it. The moment she touched the ground with her hands trying to better understand everything that surrounded her, she had a feeling of how her solo communicated directly with her, not with words, but a kind of emotion or sensation, made it even more uncomfortable with everything.

Rising from the floor and wiping her hands from the ground she looked around again and saw a rustic wooden hut, resembling the country houses of which she had seen pictures before in her past life, her father always said that one day when world be calm again he would live in one. immediately Li Xue ran to the house to arrive in front of the door, she realized in more detail that the wood used was of high quality, after all knowing about any type of plant was her specialty in her other life.

When she touched the knob she hesitated for a few moments, everything was too strange, after all, did the assistant say he wouldn't take her to her reward? How did she end up in such a strange place, had there been an error? or who knows, maybe they, whoever they are, have changed their minds and sent it back to the void, but then why is this place full of life, be it on the ground or even the wood used in this house seemed like it was still it was full of life in it.

When she opened the door and entered the house she was directly in a room, which looked more like a personal library, full of bookshelves with old books written seemed to be mostly in traditional Chinese, and somehow she managed to understand them, despite both she and the original never studied to that level, after all her predecessor was just a poor orphan from a poor village somewhere in the republic of china, it was too much for her to have learned to read and write her own name and some simpler characters, something that she only learned thanks to her late mother who was an educated young woman. So it seemed that not only did the solo communicate with Li Xue, but even the books could be read by her, even though she never learned to read them.

Such facts made the ever rational Li Xue become more curious about the place, when she started exploring the house she soon opened a room that was a type of warehouse full of seeds of all types with their names described and in which location they could normally found in the real world, their quantity was enough to plant to feed a large family for a long time, perhaps for more than a generation. That only once Li Xue was more sure that this place was a type of shelter, or something, there was land to plant, drinking water probably from the pond and more high quality seeds to guarantee great food productivity, and if by the titles of the books that she saw, most were related to various types of plants and methodologies for agriculture and farming.

After arriving at such reasoning she continued to explore and was not surprised to find a high cost food store, at least high cost in the world of the original and even in hers, there were several kilos of fine and thick grains, like flours of various types, rice, corn, sugar, salt ..., in addition to some canned foods, such as fruits, meat, oil, olive oil ..., in addition there was also a door that led to a cold room full of meat of all kinds. types, whether macro or fatty, with bird eggs also describing each species.

Definitely this place was either a shelter to avoid the end of time, or… Li Xue could no longer think of anything else, so she left the house and came back to look around, paying attention to all the details trying to find out where she was, when the assistant who had abandoned her in such a place appeared, she literally appeared.

"Miss, welcome to interdimensional space, or as we call it the gold finger, but this assistant would like to make it clear that such a reward is not exclusive to you. However, the extras received together with the system can be said to be the bonuses given to the lady by the original soul since she wanted you to be indebted to her ensuring that she did not forget to fulfill her part of the contract. "

Said assistant XIV, who now had a physical form, that is if this can be called a shape, after all he had a ball-like appearance only with hair, mouth and eyes, if there was a nose and ears he was not very clear to those who saw it, in fact even the mouth could not be sure by the number of links, the only thing that could be confirmed were the two big black eyes that stood out among the white coat.

Li Xue couldn't help but crouch and poke the white ball with curiosity trying to understand where the other parts were, looking with a serious expression as if she were a scientist discovering a new specimen for her collection.

"Miss! Stop this! I am not a stuffed animal, but an interdimensional high-tech creation. "

The little ball, or better saying assistant XIV, can't help but complain. Despite the appearance that Li Xue showed, in fact she was still trying to understand the late introduction of this place by the assistant.

"So how did the original soul manage to secure the bonus? Did she pay with her existence or something? "

That information is what left Li Xue more to understand when hearing, after all, the original did not choose to be born again and that is why she donated her body? There was no point in her being able to give someone such a bonus when she could take it with her.

"Well, as you may have already been told, the original soul was given the chance to be reborn because it never hurt anyone while alive, but as you felt when you received the transmission of emotions, it came to receive, let's call it temptation, to do evil, but in the end she was very good at doing any evil and that gave her a bonus, but that bonus could only be given to her if she had chosen to transmigrate back to her body at the exact moment before death, unfortunately the original soul itself could not be transmigrated to a previous period of time, this is one of the rules of the system, so instead she chose to be reborn in another body and probably in another world without her memories of the past, so she granted her body to use the system in exchange for her regret does not exist and she voluntarily gave her bonus to the one or the one who signed the contract with the system. "

The assistant animatedly explained trying to show his wisdom to everyone, or better saying, Li Xue.

"I don't think you should tell me that kind of thing, right?"

Li Xue is almost certain that this type of worrying conversation had taken place before with information that a normal person should not have known.

"Oh, you don't have to worry, your mind will only contain after I am given essential information about the topics, that is, you only remember how your new world works in a superficial way, not far from the memories of the original can grant you, just as the emotions of the original will be part of you, but unlike the transmission they did not take control of your rationality that originally is part of you, and last and not least all the information from the space that I will introduce a tutorial mode will be maintained for you to be activated by you whenever you need, well you will understand it soon. "

The assistant informed while walking excitedly going towards the lake, but at a speed as if it is clear that Li Xue should accompany him.

"OK! Now we are going to start the tutorial format of three-dimensional space, this will be done by the space itself. "

[Activating space tutorial on… .1… .2… .3… .EN ON!]

Soon after, a large blue screen appeared in front of Li Xue with bold letters highlighted, when seeing the screen she cannot help remembering the same feeling as when she first saw the contract.

WELCOME TO INTERDIMENSIONAL SPACE!

TO START THE SPACE USE AND FUNCTIONALITY TUTORIAL, PLEASE CLICK HERE!

Li Xue stood in front of the screen for a few minutes before reacting and deciding to click on the location indicated shortly afterwards, opening one screen after another throughout the space, each indicating a location and his description. Li Xue couldn't help but sigh , this system is really annoying.

"So, miss, I think I can leave now, the tutorial mode to disable it, you only need to enter the cabin in the living room, it is indicated how to disable it or activate it again if you need to, regarding your entry and exit. space, it is very simple to enter you just need to imagine yourself here, when you enter automatically an optical illusion of yours in the position you are entering will be kept outside, but it would still be good to be careful in making it in a place that nobody sees right. as for leaving you just need to go to the door at the back of the hut and then you will have left, you can bring anything outside into space except humans, and you can take anything out here in space without any problems. But again be careful not to get unwanted attention. Now that assistant says goodbye, I wish you a new life full of happiness, miss, bye! Bye!"

Soon after, the ball (assistant) disappeared before Li Xue's eyes, and she cannot know if she was finally relieved without that little irritating thing, or irritated by him leaving the same way it appears, out of nowhere. But that didn't matter what mattered was the information about the space, after all by the little she could understand about the moment in which the country she is in is living, everything she has in that space is necessary for survival for the next years and along with the memories of the next two years that she has the original, the scarcity will only increase, and she also has two years to avoid what generated the repentance of the original soul, well to decide what to do, she has to understand this well space and also this new world.
