Chapter 1
Ding!
Somewhere... on a small planet... an unknown entity was trying to wake something up. It was unclear what type of an existence it was.
Ding!
Attempt number 3,244,355,234...666,777,883,455. Trying to gather life power from the universe to restore the host soul... Failed! Host soul recovery status: 0.00001%.
Ding!
Attempt number 3,244,355,234...666,777,883,456. Trying to gather life power from the universe to restore the host soul... Success! Host soul recovery status: 0.00002%.
Ding!
Attempt number 3,244,355,234...666,777,883,457. Trying to gather life power from the universe to restore the host soul... Failed! Host soul recovery status: 0.00002%.
The process took so long, only time itself could know how long it really lasted. Even the entity that was performing the process wouldn't be able to determine it...
◆◆◆
Ding!
Attempt number 5,264,567,999...333,222,111,123. Trying to gather life power from the universe to restore the host soul... Failed! Host soul recovery status: 0.9%.
Ding!
Attempt number 5,264,567,999...333,222,111,124. Trying to gather life power from the universe to restore the host soul... Success! Host soul recovery status: 1%.
Ding!
Minimum soul requirement reached, waking up the host.
Hello, hello, can you hear me? Hello, hello?
“Uh... uh... where am I... what am I... what happened...?”
Ding!
The database is blank. Too much damage has occured to the host soul. Impossible to calculate.
“Huh? What's this voice in my head. Why can't I move? I remember... nothing.” My first thought, was trying to move my stiff muscles, but I couldn't move. Having this stupid sound in my head that kept repeating, Ding! sure wasn't helping. Don't know how many times I heard it, but it was becoming irritating. After so much effort, my mind was getting tired... and without knowing it, I fell unconscious.”
Ding!
Host status changed: Unconscious.
◆◆◆
I woke up, greeted by nothing... I couldn't see anything either. Inside my mind, there were too many thoughts and unanswered questions. My memory was completely empty.
Where am I? I will try to communicate with this Ding!
“Hey Ding! Where am I?”
Replying to the host—the database is empty and your soul damage is too high. Unable to recover any data from the database.
Perhaps, I should start by figuring out some other things…
“Hey Ding! Why can't I move?”
Ding!
Congratulations on unlocking the function Scan.
Scanning the host... 10%, 20% ... 90%, 100%.
Host scan complete.
Name: Unknown.
Race: Unknown.
Age: Unknown.
Body: Without a body.
Soul: 99% damage.
Status: Dead.
XP: 0
Death Points: 0
Functions: Scan: On.
Scan: Able to scan anything with any sense, sentient.
Host doesn't have a body that's why it cannot move.
“Fuck! What now?!” I was panicking.
What am I going to do now? How the hell did this happen to me?
Suggesting host to use your 1% soul...
Wait, a moment. I saw something strange that confused me.
“Ding! How come it says my status is dead?” I said full of confusion.
Replying to the host… After the System scanned the host it found no life force, thus the System concluded that the host is a dead entity.
“Okay, this is getting worse and worse... Honestly, I don't know what to do. Maybe I should try the soul stuff.” I tried to move my body and soul around, feeling what I could do. After a few hours of trying, I finally felt something in a certain direction. I could sense what it was, after expanding my soul as far as I could.
Ding!
Congratulations! Found a drop of blood. Do you wish to absorb it?
“Yes.” What else could I reply? No, and change nothing? My situation is already bad... I hope this is worth something.
Received a bloodline, of a common Black Tortoise. +1 XP.
Ding!
Congratulations, the host has unlocked the bloodline function, since the host doesn't have a body, the bloodline function will be sealed.
“Ding! What's the XP used for?” It was confusing me, all of this information… but oh well! I think at least this Ding thing seems like it will help...
The System rewards actions with XP points. Host can exchange XP points for many things. Do you wish to spend 1 XP point to heal your soul?
“Good things are happening! Yes!”
Ding!
Soul healed 5%. Soul status: 95% damage.
“Oh well, at least I got a little bit better...”
My head hurt, to the point of making me wish I would die, though I was already dead technically… strange. Gritting my teeth, I tried to endure the pain the best I could without fainting.
Argh!!!
Ding!
Host status changed: Unconscious.
Congratulations! Host has unlocked passive skill: Basic Soul Resistance Lvl 1. +1 XP.
Basic Soul Resistance Lvl 1 / 10: Passive skill helps the host resist 1% soul damage.
◆◆◆
It seems I'm still here... I can feel my soul better now that I'm healed. I should try to expand my soul more and see if I can earn some XP points to heal my soul again. It will be really tough though, the pain from healing my soul before was almost too much.
Ding!
Got a common material. +1 XP.
Unlocked inventory function, sealing it. The host does not have enough soul strength.
“Damn! All the things I unlock get sealed... Ding! Heal my soul.”
Sorry host, insufficient XP points.
“Huh?! How many XP points do I need?”
5 XP points to heal 5%
“Geez...”
◆◆◆
Just like this, two foreign entities talking to each other: one replying to a drifting soul, and one trying to expand its soul to find out about its past, to gain knowledge and XP points to heal his soul, spent one month together.

If I had legs, I would have jumped for joy. After one month of time, I had recovered enough soul that some memories about my past had resurfaced. I knew in my previous life, I had legs. I was a human. Yeah, I died and got reincarnated, though my memories are not good enough to know what happened in my previous life or how I ended up in this situation. Oh well, one has to accept reality! Better to be something than nothing. I'm moving bit by bit now, and I can't complain. Well, I'm rolling... yup... I'm a ball...
A fucking ball...
Chapter 2
Rolling, Rolling, Rolling
“Phew!” It's too bad I don't have a proper body, besides this ball... stuff. With this I guess, at least I can roll around. So far without passing out and losing consciousness, I can roll about ten minutes per day... It takes awhile to move further each day, but hey at least I'm improving.
Ding!
Congratulations host, for completing Quest #1. Grab 10 pieces of trash. +50 XP.
“Alright!” I feel like a kid in a fun game with my friends. Yesterday, after grabbing a piece of trash with my soul, well, I can't grab anything yet, I sensed it with my soul and I think the System pitied me or something, and I unlocked the Quest system! It demanded to get ten pieces of trash to complete the quest and I got quite a lot of exp. For some reason, every time I discover something new I get +1 XP, but after I discover the same thing the System doesn't give me XP anymore... Guess I'm starting to get greedy already with only so few XP...
“System time to heal my soul. Spend all XP on soul healing.” Hope this time is less painful.... Here we go...
Ding!
Soul healed 5%. Soul status: 50% damage.
Argh!!!
Guess this is worse than before... I took a deep breath as I gasped for air.
Ding!
Basic Soul Resistance level-up to 5!
Host status changed: Unconscious.
◆◆◆
Well, this feels more comfortable, at least now I can move and sense things further away. Let's see what's new in my memories… mm… mm… okay, that's strange I still don't know my name, well at least now I know how I died. I doubt healing more of my soul will give me any useful memories besides my name. Though it was totally lame how I died, it was a normal day on Earth, that's the name of my planet, quite stupid in my opinion. I died at seventeen years old and a virgin...
I was walking down the street as usual going home, when I saw a really hot girl that was about to be hit by a truck! At that moment I felt my mind think really, really fast, somehow I managed to jump in front of the truck and push the girl, and in that moment, I really thought that I died. In the end, I got hit by the truck and went to the hospital; surprisingly my body didn't have that much damage, only three months to recover.
During the first month I was in the hospital, the girl I saved came to visit a few times and we really hit it off well. One day my mind started to think really fast again, and so I thought maybe from being hit by the truck I had gotten some kind of superpower...
Ding!
Congratulations host, found a drop of blood. Do you wish to absorb it?
“Yes!”
Congratulations host, obtained an uncommon Gray Wolf bloodline. +1 XP.
Host status changed: Unconscious.
◆◆◆
I fainted again...
Talking to myself and remembering my past is helping; otherwise, I think I will go crazy in this barren land. I am a ball rolling through the desert all alone.
After having thought that I had some kind of superpower at the hospital, I tried to use my mind to use telekinesis: what amazed me was that I was right, it worked, at least the first time it did... The girl I saved brought me a cake. After she was done visiting and left my hospital room, I became really hungry… I stuffed my face deep into the cake, like a baby at their 1st birthday party. But... The cake was too big to swallow, and I had both arms broken... So, telekinesis didn't work a second time. I tried pushing the death cake up and out of my windpipe with my mind but it wouldn’t budge, it was stuck and I couldn’t breathe. I gasped for air choking until, Sigh... I choked myself to death on that delicious cake. Does it count as suicide? Yeah, kinda, I died a lame and pointless death.
One more month went by rolling, rolling—and rolling. I searched through all of my memories as I travelled, but I didn't find anything useful. It's still unknown even to myself, why I cannot remember my name? What's so special about it… why is it so hard to remember?
Three months went by.
Ding!

The System is also progressing while I'm healing my soul, it seems that being liked by my soul is also somewhat limiting it.
Warning! Warning! Warning! Host is starting to speed up!
“Fuck! This is bad.” I got distracted, since it's been many months that the only thing I did was roll. I forgot to check the terrain, damn this is downhill...
Ding!

Ding!
Congratulations host, level-up Rolling Lvl 7.
