2nd reincarnation

Rahen once again found himself in the system's soul space, surrounded by white clouds under the black sky. Standing in front of him was that same woman with golden hair and that giant spinning wheel from before.

"Are you ready for your next reincarnation?" She asked nonchalantly.

"If you promise to select a good one for me"

"....."

Rahen replied wanting to tease her, but her face didn't show any change. Without waiting for him to say anything else she just spun the wheel. Unlike previously this time the wheel completed the whole cycle.

Rahen was looking carefully at it to know his next body when a surprising thing happened. When the wheel completed a cycle, all the names written on it changed with the wheel still continuing to spin. This happened three times and every time the wheel completed a cycle, the names written on it would change. On the fourth cycle it stopped midway pointing to a word.

"It's much much better than a mosquito." Rahen looked at the word and felt excited. The process of reincarnation followed after that as Rahen felt his consciousness fade away.

...…

On a snow-covered cliff more than a thousand meter high. Inside a cave located around a hundred meter below the top was a nest built with sticks. Inside that nest laid a single egg of 2-3 inches. This egg that had been sitting there for more than two months now showed slight movements from time to time. The movements grew with time until a small beak broke through the eggshell.

Light fell on Rahen's eyes as he finally broke through the egg. It took him a second to adjust to the light before he was able to take a look at his surroundings. It turned out that he was in a cave, currently he was in a nest made of sticks.

He completely broke through the egg and came out to take a better look. He was looking around when he suddenly heard an eerie rasping sound behind his back. His heart skipped a bit when he heard that scary sound. Gathering some courage he turned his head behind to take a look. Turning around he saw a large head staring at him, seeing that scary face he lost his balance in shock and rolled back uncontrollably.

He slowly raised his head to take another look to see that the head had retreated back and a bird stood there. Seeing that bird rahen had a thought as he finally took a sigh of relief. Seeing that bird he knew that the reincarnation had been successful and he had reincarnated as a vulture this time, the vulture standing there must be one of his parents.

Calming himself down he took a clear look at the bird. It was huge compared to Rahen and was covered in light brown and pale white feathers. Its long neck and head were also covered in very small, white feathers. It has sharp menacing eyes with curved beak. Overall it looked beautiful and scary at the same time.

Like him, that bird was also looking at him with a curious gaze, a small baby vulture stood in front of it. It remembered that all the previous chicks were crying the moment they came out but this one was just standing there without a sound. It tried to probe Rahen with its beak causing Rahen to once again roll over his back.

Rahen didn't bother to get back up after that, rather he opened his status screen to check for any changes.

"There is a difference of heaven and Earth in my stats!" Rahen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after seeing his new stats. He couldn't believe his eyes seeing the huge increase, but when the status remained the same even after taking a second and third look at it he had to finally believe it.

After some time he got back up to take another look at the bird standing there, this time he decided to test his skill on it. As expected, a status window of that bird appeared in front of him. Though it was different than his own.

===============================

"Hey system, what does that marking on the skills mean?" Rahen had never seen any star markings like that on his status window, so he decided to ask the system.

[ The skills marked by a star are the skills linked with the current physical body of the organism. Since these skills can only be utilised due to physical characteristics of the body they will be sealed once host reincarnates Into a body without those characters. ]

A reply came from the system explaining the basic meaning of the mark. With that more detailed information about it was directly transferred into his mind, though he had to endure some pain for it.

While contemplating, he didn't notice that another culture had entered the cave and was now standing beside him. Only after it made some noise did Rahen notice its presence. " It must be another parent of mine." He thought

After looking at him, that newly arrived parent of him suddenly opened its mouth and vomited on Rahen.

" What the fu*k" he cursed inwardly as he tried to run, but he was not used to his current body which made it impossible for him to run.

[ This is the way vultures feed their young ones. ]

While he was struggling to get away, the system replied without asking.

"No way, why does one disgusting thing after another keep on happening to me. First algae and now vomit! There is no way I'm eating this." Disgusted by the thought, Rahen swore not to eat that no matter what.

"Host should check out the reincarnation rewards in the inventory."

"What's that got to do with my situation?" He asked angrily but no reply came, so he decided to check the rewards like the system asked him to.

Ignoring the curious eyes of his new parents, he opened the inventory to check the rewards. Opening it he found two items inside. One was the space stone he had received during his first reincarnation, another was a pale yellow coloured scroll named 'F-rank item selection scroll'. Reading its description, Rahen found that he could use this scroll to select one item from the list of millions of items given with it.

Before he could check the list of options he felt a nudge on his stomach. He closed the system interface to see that his parents were nudging him to eat with their beak. He took a sigh and decided to check the list later, first he had to deal with them.

"The inventory that should be used to store awesome items is being used to clean up vomit, this should be the biggest shame to this legendary all powerful ability." He thought as he slowly stored bits into the inventory. Finished with cleanup he slowly rolled away from the area. He laid in the nest and opened the inventory to check the list again.
