Rebirth.
All three souls began spinning in the broken space with their destination unknown. How much time had past was not known but the space distortion due to the mana was now losing it's energy. The souls began to land in a particular universe, one not of their original origin without anyone know how. They entered this worlds reincarnation cycle naturally like any other soul would however due to the pure density of their souls they wouldn't be able to be reincarnated normally. In a regular situation the soul is reforged in the river of reincarnation causing the soul to almost restart, no longer having their original memories. However all three had naturally strong souls and had survived multiple reforgings in the energy spirals without losing what would be there memory.
Time continued to pass as the souls adjust to the energy of reincarnation as they wait to be reborn, Han and islans souls now had the natural attribute to suck in energies due to the what will be refered to as the 'mana whirlpool' and they began absorbing they energy in the reincarnation river, further expanding their already in humanly big souls. To question what is a soul?
Is it a bundle of memories? Is it something that only belongs to one being and can't be recreated? is it something that shows what kind of being you are, human, good or evil? The answer would be all of the above and when's one soul increases in density and size it's because of their fortune. What would happen if good and bad karma exist as energy and are quantifiable? Of course the more good actions you do the higher your soul strength becomes which will help you in your next life, increasing things like luck, providence, etc. Bad karma doing the opposite and lowering luck. Now what happens when there are 3 stupidly large, dense souls?
Three monsters are born.
The three souls finally begin to get reincarnated as they reach the end of the river and drop off what seemed to be a cliff, entering this universe. They all go into the same world and get scattered, being placed in the bodies of babies whom are about to be born. As this happens, now with physical form all their memories begin to flood in. All the energies their souls possessed began to take an effect as there luck, providence, and even appearance began to form.

'Wha-what is going-?'
They had no time to properly think as they couldn't breathe as they were being twisted and turned at every waking moment. They could breathe now, however, an extreme amount of pressure was falling on them as they were slowly being pushed with no knowledge of what was happening. The pressure was weird as it would leave at times and coming back with a vengeance leaving them uncomfortable and in pain.
This wasn't the only pain they were experiencing as there heads felt like they were cranking due it being compressed. In this process all three of them experienced great pain as they felt the shape of their head change on multiple occasions whilst they were still bein g pressed down on by the on and off pressure. As babies they couldn't even resist this unbearable feeling as all three of them try cry out for help but to no avail. Finally the head compression starts easing up and the intensity of the contractions only seemed to increase as they could feel some lights. At this point all three of them were kicking and doing everything they could possibly to get out. They began getting pushed out as the pain began to stop for them and all ended up bawling there eyes out.

[Hans POV]
'A-am I out? I can only see blurry images... W-where is this place I was just with Han and-'
"CONGRATULATIONS IT'S A BOY!" the doctor said.
Han could hear the voices in the background but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't decipher what kind of language it was. This induced even more fear with Han as this place began to feel even more unrecognizable.
'Seriously... Where am I? I feel small and I can't move at all... Ah-! Let me try using inner qi'
Han thought as tried focusing on his body to check his inner qi, however...
'N-nothing?! where's my dantian gone?! W-WHAT THE HELL!?'
Han started to break down not knowing what to do in this irrational situation. He had to force himself to calm down as he knew it was no good for him.
'right, if I have no energy I should try gather some. That girl was much more scary than this...'
Han tried to reassure himself but he still couldn't stay fully calm, he'd already been putting of all the trauma from his last battle and his mental strength was already way past it's limits. He began gathering the energies of the world and began refining them in his body. Something was definitely wrong here.
'Was it always this easy to gain energy? Also the amount I'm getting is crazy? Did someone set up some energy gathering formation?'
All these thoughts crossed his mind and many others as he began to feel more and more suspicious and the voices in the background seemed to have not stopped at all so he just tried to finish his dantian. The dantian refers to the qi centre and is where martial arts generally store their energy. After countless years of testing it was discovered the pelvis was the best place for creation and allowed energy to be sent anywhere in the body, however Han was different. Han begins making a large amount of small dantian all over his body, following the bodies blood circulatory system, focusing on the heart. He finalizes this by making threads out of qi to connect all the dots of energy through his body, making a qi path. Han opens his eyes, due to taking the path of a martial artist his body was strengthened, compared to other martial artist who focused on strengthening the bone structure or muscles he was weaker but still his strength took a significant jump. He looks around seeing himself in a hospital room and looks up to see a women holding him in her arms, at this point Han begins to despair.
'No... It's not possible.'
Han looks at the open window only to confirm his own doubts about what's going on. A small body with no hair, barely open eyes with stumpy army's and legs.
'I have reincarnated'
As Han thought this a small, blue transparent screen appears to the right of him but he didn't pay attention to it as he was too busy in he's own head.
[Congratulations! You have become a Player!]
In an instant one thought came to Hans mind.
'Status Window'
in an instant a blue, transparent window appeared.

[Islans POV]
'This can't be real... Right?'
After having a similar situation to Han he was now in an incubator as he had nothing to do but await for something to happen. He didn't know what to feel at this point. All he could remember was the helplessness he felt in his last moments and fear rose within him.
'Ah... There was that screen as well'
As soon as Islans thoughts focused on it once again it appeared in front of him, he didn't really think of it much but as he saw the window he thought about it more.
[Congratulations! You have become a Player!]
'This- this is the exact same window given when one awakens in Veil Of The Monarch...'
He remembered this clearly as he got Han to draw it for Viks awakening during the novels start, all the fans went crazy for the art as it was so vivid. Islan was in doubt but he couldn't deny nor accept what was in front of him so he knew there was only one way to confirm. He himself was quite scared if it was true however it would also be an opportunity.

'Ah-... Ah.'
Islan- no, Ray, didn't know how to feel currently but then he remembered the helplessness and fear he felt once more and a face of pure rage and malice appeared despite his cute little innocent baby face.
'With this and my knowledge of the future. I can get stronger and dominate everyone in my way.'

She at this point just wanted to rest. She was tired, so very tired, after years of suffering just to get to beyond zenith then only to be sent into a spiral of energy that would make her experience inhumane amounts of pain. All for what? She couldn't even fulfill her goal, no, at this point she couldn't even remember her goal. She understood the situation that she had been reincarnated and started crying.
'Am I... Am i finally free?'
She couldn't help but cry, to others it my just seem like a babies wind but to her she was letting out 200 hundred years of existence worth of suffering. She couldn't help but finally release all her bottled up emotions but she also felt happiness as she was no longer restrained.
'in this life I'll be strong but live peacefully without being disturbed. Yes, that would be great...'
=======================================
Hey, author here. I bet you didn't expect the girl to be involved too but all her story will be revealed later, maybe there was a secret on the earth they lived on that only she knew? Who knows?! Maybe Han and Islan will even get to see their old family.
Also I'd like to ask if I should make a volume for the power system, characters, races and, world or whether I should just let you guys slowly be introduced to the world as you read. personally I think it's bad writing if I need to explain the power system as a whole for everyone to understand rather than just slowly introducing it with the story like in training but I wanted others opinions.
P. S vote, comment and, favorite!
