'May your journey be filled with wonders and surprises, good luck.'
A voice echoed through the empty void, a lonely soul drifted among the darkness as time spins in a chaotic momentum. Within the soul, lies a dormant conciousness as if it was preparing for a new beginning.

A few moments ago–
"Im going to reincarnate?" A man voice can be heard inside the endlessly stretching white space filled with shattering glass and clouds. The voice was distorted in such way that it is almost impossible to know how old the man was from his voice alone.
In the middle of that bright space, a table was placed with two chairs accompanying it, on both chairs, a ball of light floats still, oscillating up and down as more voices seemingly came out of it.
"Yeah." Said the floating ball on the left side of the table. "I mean, you should know how these things works, do i need to explain it?"
"What?" The floating ball on the right seems bewildered by the other ball's carefree demeanor. 'Well, i do know a thing or two about reincarnations, but what's with this attitude, he's kind of chill..'
"I know what reincarnation is, but i'll have to ask, where am i going to be reincarnated? Earth again?" The right ball asked curiously.
"Do you want to be born there again? If i were you i wouldn't." The left ball quickly gave an answer, even though its appearance was just a ball, but somehow it feels like whoever is possessing that ball was shrugging as he spoke those words.
"...That makes sense, i wouldn't too." The right ball agreed. "Then, where am i going?"
"That's simple, you have two options actually, i valued the freedom of will, so you can choose to either pick a world or let me choose." The left ball answered with relaxed manner, as if uninterested with whatever the right ball picked.
The white space grew in silence as the right ball was thrown in deep thought, while the left ball waited patiently with all the time in this space had.
.
.
"That's your final choice?" Said the left ball. It had waited for almost an hour on earth time. "Having an attractive appearance would bring you troubles more than you'd expect."
"I have no regret, i prefer coolness rather than conveniences anyway." The right ball answered for the last time as its body oscillated up and down a bit faster, as if nodding in agreement, then without wasting any more time, the left ball suddenly opened a door beside the table, a door that has no end, once opened, a dark void awaits at the other side.
"That's a common yet solid statement, here it is. Once you entered, you'd be out of my responsibility, after you die in that world, you will meet a different person, not me. So this is goodbye, you can go whenever you want." Said the left ball, his invisible hand seemingly connected while his elbows sat on the table.
The right ball then moved from the chair and slowly floats closer to the door, before he entered, he glances back at the other ball that is still oscillating above the chair.
"Thanks, you're actually cool, no complicated stuff and straight to the point." He said with a smile that can't be seen.
"No problem, im just adjusting to the way you talk on earth, go explore that world and find interesting stuff. May your journey be filled with wonders and surprises, good luck."

Back to the present— In the same dark void that continuously grew in whiter hue.
'That god must be attending to another person right now, i should stop thinking about it.'
As the light grew brighter, noises gradually began seeping in, at first it was the quiet wind outside, then the chirping birds, until the sound of people talking reaches into the newly formed ears.
"WAAAHH!! WAAAHHH!!"
A baby cry shrieked through the house that is made out of wood, alongside it the screams of joy from the people around was also loud, a newborn baby has come to this world, and unbeknownst to everyone, the baby that they're carrying was hiding a secret that no one should ever know.
'Ugh.. My body suddenly felt stiff, i can't move any part of my body..'
While the baby was confused with this new feeling of having a conciousness as a baby, he soon discovers the first trouble after coming to this world.
"What a beautiful baby! You're just like your mother!" A man voice can be heard, the baby then stops crying and opened his eyes, what he saw quickly took him out by surprise, it was a fluffy ears that looks like a cat or a wolf.
'Those are.. Beastmen? Demi-human?' The baby thought, stunned by the sight infront of him.
"What should we name our baby, dear?" Another voice rings into the baby's ears, it was a female voice this time.
'Our baby? so the beastmen infront of me is my father!? Wait does that mean—'
Before he had any chance to continue with his thought, the man infront of him uttered something that made him almost unconcious.
"Her name will be!— Syla! Syla Clawenfall"
Words that came out of the man's mouth shocked Syla like a high-voltage electrical currents, and she cried again, her tears overflowed as her father tried to calm her down, but it was useless. Inside her mind, Syla was trying to comprehend the situation that just happened to her, she couldn't believe it, yet the reality now can't be called a dream anymore.
'WHAT DID YOU SAY!? HER!? IM A GIRL!? IS THIS A SIDE EFFECT OF REINCARNATION!?' Syla screamed to herself. 'THIS WAS THE LAST THING I EXPECTED! HELL NO I THOUGHT "Attractive Appearance" MEANS I WOULD BE REBORN AS A HANDSOME MAN!'
'W- well.. Let's calm down, to be fair that guy‐ Or god i suppose, didn't say anything this, and i also forgot to ask him.. But that was because i thought it was unlikely that i would be born as the opposite gender— I mean, it could be that reincarnation is just a 50/50 gamble of which gender you'd ended up with.. That's how it is on earth too, except i didn't remember my previous life before being born on earth.'
'Im kind of fucked— Let's see, what would possibly happen in the future as i am now? First thing first, im sure i would be used to this body sooner or later, and if i can't find a way to change back, then might aswell accept it, when it comes to if i will act like a girl or not, honestly i can't tell. Will i have a husband? Does that mean i'll date a guy? Will i still be attracted to girls? Damnit these questions doesn't have an answer, rather the answer will come on its own..'
While Syla was imagining what the future would be like, she was passed onto her mother's arms by her father, that's when she saw her mother's face for the first time, a smooth white silky hair that stretches far exceeding her shoulder, and an oceanic blue eyes. Her mother also has a beast ears, and upon taking a closer look, Syla noticed that its more closer to a wolf rather than a cat.
'Woah, she kinda beautiful though' Syla thought, the sight of her mother was one of the most beautiful thing she saw.
"Hushh.. hushh.. It's fine, who's a good girl? Calm down now, mommy's here."
Upon hearing her mother's words, Syla felt touched, her heart flutters at the sight of a motherly affection, she tried to control her mouth, giving some strength in her soul to gain control over her body, after a few seconds, she succeeded and calmed herself down, she stopped crying at her mother's arms.
'— Ah fuck, i can't take back anything now aren't i, well.. The new me, i hope you can be something great in the future, though i can't say im glad- Im still excited with this new world, whether im a girl or a man, its no longer my concern. Yes, even back on earth, im known to be very nonchalant— Maybe not..' Syla said to herself, it was the last thing she remembered before drifting to sleep.
