Transmigration of Sage 1 – 02 How do you do

Gunther Fett was mounted on a very sturdy metal platform, and then his whole body was firmly tied up, with many electrodes attached to his head, chest and limbs, a pulse pressure bag on his left arm, and lots of instruments to monitor his vital signs; On his right arm, a needle was placed and connected to three plastic bags of unknown fluids. His eyelids were taped to keep them open, and a small tube next to his eyes dripped artificial tears from time to time. A mask attached to a mechanical ventilator was installed in his mouth to prevent him from biting himself and to keep him breath smoothly.

Dr. John examined the equipment thoroughly three times, while Dr. Richard stared intently at screens with various sizes that covered the entire wall. There were more than a dozen researchers busy coming and going around, and many people above seemed to be monitoring the progress of the experiment through thick glass.

Finally, everyone looked at Dr. Richard and reported “Check!” one by one. Dr. Richard nodded and said, "Proceed to the first phase."

The platform beneath Gunther Fett began to hum softly, and an arc-shaped instrument stretched out about five centimeters from either side of his ear, forming a semicircle before his eyes, while he felt something gently against the top of his head.

Then Gunther Fett heard a voice from his left side: "The first phase is ready. All parameters are confirmed."

Followed by Dr. Richard saying, " begin!"

Gunther Fett saw a strong white light immediately, then felt a numbness on the top of the head, couldn't help but clench, and then heard a bunch of people shouting in panic: "What happened!?"

But these voices... It was strange, not so much like a voice coming from Dr. Richard, Dr. John, or any researcher standing nearby, but rather a voice coming out of his head. Only one person is heard saying, "Who is it?" Dare to secretly plot against Dragon Emperor of Xie?"

Then someone quickly complained: " Dragon Emperor of Xie? What kind of stupid name this is. Are you twelve?"

Followed by:

"Mom... There are weirdos... I'm so scared..."

"Who has watermelons? Anyone?"

"Hi there, hot chicks, awesome dude coming through."

"I just want to go shopping~~~!"

"I just replaced all the light balls with new ones, why is it dark again?"

"I object! this is nonsense! "

"Don't panic. Stay calm."

"Hey! Newbie! don't you dare giving orders to the Dragon Emperor. I’ll eat you up as a whole!"

Gunther Fett started to wonder in his mind, "Are these guys...?"

then someone rapidly replied: "Isn't you the big bro? We haven't talked since the last time we exchanged diaries. We miss your so much, come to us when you have time. As the saying goes, keep your friends close, keep your ene…"

"Me miss you so much, too..."

"Ignore him, cutie. Awesome dude is here for you."

“Stay away from me, you disgusting beast!”

These voices from nowhere clashed together while Gunther Fett was dazed by the white dizzying glare. He had one and only thought: "Is this hell?" Or some terrible nightmare? Someone please wake me up!"

At the meantime, a huge voice resounded slowly with an echo: "TRULY…IMPRESSIVE…IT…SEEMS…LIKE…THE…BRAIN…IS…USED…BY…TWO…OR…THREE…PEOPLE…"

It sounded like Dr. Richard, but the voice seemed to come from a megaphone far away, and it was deep and slow, like audios played at one-third speed.

Gritting his teeth, Gunther Fett could only complain silently in his mind: "Two or three people? There MUST be something WRONG with your instrument!”

Then he heard that loud, deep, slow tone said: “PROCEED…TO…THE…SECOND…PHASE…”

As soon as the echoes faded, Gunther Fett felt something like an electric current poured in from the top of the head, but it was not channeled out through the body and continued to accumulate inside his head, inducing a feeling that was not painful, but far more unbearable than anything kind of suffering. Even though his mouth was covered, he couldn't help but scream. He “heard” the same horror screams of other personalities simultaneously until he finally passed out.

Not knowing how long it had passed, Gunther Fett woke up slowly. His eyes were still blank, and he only heard someone report on the side: "After the third phase of examination, the subject's brain waves are stable, as well as his vital signs."

Then came Dr. John's voice, revealing an irrepressible excitement: "It worked! Finally succeeded!"

Dr. Richard said, "Good, Prepare for Phase four."

Dr. John seemed to froze for a moment and said, "Wait... This is not... Are you sure it’s O.K.?"

Dr. Richard said, "Why not? The process and results has been fully recorded and all data have been uploaded. It's time for the next step."

Dr. John said, "But... I'm still sure if the newly implanted human brain is stable enough to withstand so much energy. Shouldn’t we repeat the experiment with other subjects first, rather than rush it with this one, when we had failed so many times to have a positive result?"

Dr. Richard said: "I have tested previously with failed subjects and the brain damage has not been amplified much. And even if it fails this time, we can always find another subjects since now we have learned that those with a particularly high brain activity is feasible. We have an VERY tight schedule and we have been way behind it, remember?"

Dr. John smiled and said, "Well well well... I didn’t know that you have already tried. Why didn't you mention it earlier? Since that’s the case, let's get started."

Before Gunther Fett had a chance to protest, a strong white light appeared in front of him again. Then there is an extremely complex feeling, as if it contains sight, hearing, taste, smell, cold, heat, pain, and all emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, hatred, desire, etc. are fully activated at the same time.

There is an ancient tale called Huang-Liang dream. It describes a person experienced a whole lifetime in his dream and woke up finding it had been only a little while, even the porridge he cooked before asleep was not ready. Just like that tale, it had been only a few minutes before Gunther Fett expired in reality, the torture seemed to last for decades in cognition, for him and other personalities, since the brain was extremely active.

Then, when Gunther Fett came to himself again, he found himself in a white space and there was a blurred figure in white robe in front of him. Other than his vision not fully recovered, there seemed to be a looming glow emitting from that figure that made Gunther Fett difficult to see his or her face clearly. Even squinting his eyes to stare, he could barely recognize a lady with blonde hair. Her face was radiant but filled with indifference and impatience.

Gunther Fett thought her to be one of the researchers and said coldly: “Is it over?”

The blonde lady kept starring at the files in her hand, and said without raising head: "Be quiet and wait!"

The blonde lady frowned deeply, flipping through the file over and over, checking it back and forth, and muttered in her mouth: "This... It's so weird... That's not something I can handle."

Then she did something, and another lady with ginger hair who was also wearing a white robe appeared out of nowhere. The ginger lady seemed somewhat delighted, but pretended to be impatient and said: "How long do you plan staying a rookie? Make some judgement on your own, would you? Do not call me-self for some tiny things every time!"

The blonde lady apologized: “so…sorry, but it’s too weird, look!” she handed the file to the ginger lady.

The ginger lady took a glance at her and then took the file. After browsing it casually, she said: "Isn't this a just a case with a soul exceeding the standard? Do what you should do."

The blonde lady mumbled: “but…but…on the third page…”

The ginger lady shoved the file back and said: " MAKE SOME JUDGEMENT ON YOUR OWN!" then disappeared in a flash.

The blonde lady froze for a moment, then turned to Gunther Fett and said, "Hi there, Welcome to the Judgement Hall. Let’s keep it plain and simple: you are dead; And I am the goddess responsible for your transmigration."

Gunther Fett raised his hand to ask questions, but the blonde goddess said preemptively: “Do not give me the responses like ‘What? I’m dead?’ or ‘No~~~! There are still so many things I want to do!’ or ‘Is this a joke? I just took two pills and was having a good time with my mistress.’…I have heard them too many times and got sick of them. You are DEAD, accept it!”

“This is the Judgement Hall. People will be judged by the condition of their souls and what they had done when they were still alive. Those who have accomplished great deal while alive with their souls being complete and heavy, will be promoted to a higher world. Those who have done evil and have broken souls will be demoted to a lower world. Worst case scenario, they could be turned into monsters. Mediocre ones will be redeemed with their memories wiped clean, their souls returning to original status, and themselves reincarnating back to where they are from.”

“... out of some reason I don't know, your soul weighted way too heavy for the world you came from. It’s just like… like instead of one, you had two or three life… or lives? I can’t understand. But by the rules, you will be reborn in a higher world...”

Gunther Fett listened quietly until this point, he couldn't help but think: "Two or three lives? There MUST be something WRONG with your instrument TOO."

The blonde goddess surely didn’t know what he was thinking, continued to say: "... that world was in a slightly primitive period of civilization, similar to the medieval century of your old world. However, the weight of the souls are generally higher, which makes it possible to draw power from souls to perform special skills, some of which are known as magic to you. This also makes creatures stronger...much much stronger.”

Gunther Fett raised his hand again, but the blonde goddess ignore him and said: “Words are in vain. You must proceed to reincarnation. Here is my final judgement...based on this file, you did not achieve much in your life, nor did you commit any major crimes. But in the end of your life, you were killed in extremely cruel ways... for seventeen times... I can’t even imagine how this is possible, but it says so and there is nothing I can do but accept it. According to the rules specially set by the Supreme God, innocent souls suffer from excessive misfortune will be compensated. You may choose a ‘GIFT’ for your next life.”

The blonde goddess waved her hand and countless light dots appeared in the surroundings, like stars in the sky.

“Those are GIFTs. They may give you some advantage after birth. Since your misfortune was so outrageous, you may even choose the most powerful GIFTs.” She said while pointed her finger at a noticeably larger and brighter spot of light.

"But beware, some GIFTs require special conditions to be effective, don't choose skills that only monsters can use. They are useless to you as a human." She turned her finger toward a red light dot and said.

Again, Gunther Fett raised his hand. And again, he was ignored. The blonde goddess said: “You can know the details of a GIFT by touching a light ball with your hand, so I don't need to explain them to you one by one. Time here stands still relative to the worlds so you can take your time. After you made up your mind, hold the light ball you choose and press it into your body, and then you are ready to be reborn.

For the last time, Gunther Fett raised his hand, but the blonde goddess disappeared with final words, “See you next death…No, better not. I’d like you to be someone else’s trouble in the future.”

Gunther Fett stood still with his hand up in the air. The question he had always wanted to ask was, "So... what about these people?"

He did not know how the space and time works in the Judgement Hall. But there were sixteen people other than him there and the blonde goddess didn’t seem to notice them.

Gunther Fett looked at the others awkwardly. Extrapolating based on the number of people, he concluded that they must be other personalities inside him. So he mumbled: "Hi...hi there, how do you do?"
