"Good morning, hubby."
The voice that echoed in my mind was sweet, clear, and warm enough to melt steel. And then—an image appeared.
A woman. My woman.
Beautiful didn't even begin to cover it. Angelic, elegant, and just the right amount of softness to make my brain blue-screen. I couldn't speak—I was stunned.
"...Huh?" I finally managed. "Where… where am I?"
I tried to move, to look around, but everything was blurry. Shapes. Shadows. Distant lights. I felt a little cold.
"You are currently outside an orphanage in London," the voice replied gently. "It's August 2nd, 1980. You are one day younger than Harry Potter."
I blinked internally.
"...So I'm an orphan. Again."
There was a beat. "That's fine. I'll be able to live more freely like this anyway."
I took a breath. "So… I take it you're my new system? My partner?"
"Yes," she said softly, almost bashful.
"Do you have a name?" I asked.
"No will you give me one," she said, her voice lifting with a hopeful kind of excitement.
I smiled.
"How about… Allie?"
"What do you think?"
"I love it call me allie from now on."she giggled, her laughter ringing through my mind like music. I swear I took psychic damage from how cute that was.
Focus. Focus, damn it.
"Okay," I said, trying to center myself. "All right, let's get to work. Allie, show me my system."
"Of course, darling," Allie said sweetly, her voice like velvet.
A soft chime rang out in my mind as the system unfolded.
What appeared before me looked like a futuristic light-blue screen—sleek, minimal, almost like a floating web browser in a sci-fi film. Across the top were five neatly arranged tabs:
[Stats] [Inventory] [Shop] [Inner World] [World Travel]
In the top-right corner, three icons glowed faintly.
One resembled a gold coin, another a shifting, prismatic jewel, and the third a small silver gear.
Next to the coin and the jewel: big fat 0's.
"Currency," I guessed. "Probably for the shop."
And the gear? Definitely Settings.
Right now, the system had the [Stats] tab open:
NAME: Kuren Soul
AGE: 1 Day
GENDER: Male
SPECIES: Human
TITLE: None
LEVEL: 0 (0 / 100 EXP to next level)
[CON]: 0
[MANA]: 0
[STR]: 0
[DEF]: 0
[DEX]: 0
[INT]: 0
[WIS]: 0
[LUCK]: 0
SKILLS: None
I stared for a second.
"The stats layout looks good," I said. "Allie, can you break them down for me? Just want to make sure I understand what everything does."
"Of course," she said gently. Her voice slowed, shifting into tutorial mode.
"[CON] is short for Constitution. It increases your stamina and physical regeneration"
"[MANA] increases your total mana pool and your mana recovery speed."
"[STR] is Strength—your raw physical power."
"[DEF] is your body's durability. The higher it is, the more punishment you can take."
"[DEX] is Dexterity. It boosts speed, flexibility, coordination—things like reaction time and movement precision."
"[INT] is Intelligence—your mental processing power and magical theory capacity. It also boosts psychic abilities."
"[WIS] stands for Wisdom. It increases learning speed, adaptability, magical insight, and mental resistance. It also enhances psychic skill potential."
"[LUCK]..." she paused, then giggled. "Well, it's exactly what it sounds like. Higher luck means more fortunate events—encounters, drops, survivals… lucky breaks."
She let that settle for a moment, then continued.
"You'll receive 10 free stat points per level, which you can allocate however you like. To gain levels, you'll need to gain experience. And yes... that usually means killing things."
"Got it." I nodded, already making mental notes.
"What would an average adult man's stats look like?" I asked.
Allie answered without hesitation.
"An average human male, around 20 years old, would be something like:
[CON]: 5
[MANA]: 0
[STR]: 14
[DEF]: 3
[DEX]: 4
[INT]: 17
[WIS]: 5
[LUCK]: 10
Huh.
"INT's a little high, isn't it?" I asked.
"That's college-level book smart," she said. "Not genius. just average."
"All right, I think I've got the gist of it. Let's take a look at the inventory," I said, shifting my mental focus to the next tab.
The screen shifted smoothly as I opened the [Inventory] tab. The interface looked simple, clean—rows and rows of neatly arranged item slots.
Currently, only two slots were filled.
The first item looked like a present. Full-on gift-wrapped, complete with a red bow and shiny green paper. It wouldn't look out of place under a Christmas tree.
Next to it: [STARTER GIFT]
The second item looked like a folded envelope. Old parchment, wax seal. You could practically hear it say mysterious and important.
Text beside it read: [LETTER FROM GOD]
I blinked.
"Well, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that one's from God."
"How do you know?" Allie asked, her voice dripping with fake shock.
"It's just a gut feeling," I replied, righteously.
" Allie, can you open these without pulling them out of the inventory?"Honestly, what do you expect? I'm one day old. I can't even hold my head up.
"Of course, sweetie," she said, already giggling. "Which one first?"
"Open the letter," I said. "Let's see what Big G had to say."
[Opening Letter from God...]
A glowing parchment unfolded in front of my mind's eye, text appearing in flowing golden script—elegant, almost like it was being handwritten in real time.
To Kuren Soul,
Congratulations on not dying horribly in vain.
Well… technically you did, but you saved lives in the process—so we'll call it a net win.
You've now officially entered the reincarnation program. Your application was reviewed and fast-tracked due to your heroic act, above-average soul durability, and frankly, your highly entertaining internal monologue. (Yes, I was listening.)
Here's a quick breakdown of your status:
World Selected: Harry Potter Universe (Canon Timeline)
Birth Date: August 2nd, 1980
Location: London, England
System Compatibility: Approved
Companion AI: Activated (Name pending… I'm sure you've already fixed that)
A few final notes:
The world has been lightly adjusted for your amusement and progression. Nothing drastic. Maybe.
You are not the chosen one. But that's probably a good thing.
Try not to break the multiverse too fast.
Lastly, thank you for your sacrifice. You didn't have to save them, but you did. That choice speaks volumes about your heart.
Make this life count, Kuren.
I'll be watching—with popcorn.
Sincerely,
God
P.S. Your starter gift has some useful tools. Or maybe a magical rubber chicken. I randomized it for fun.
The parchment folded itself back into nothingness.
Allie's voice purred into my mind.
"Well... he does have a sense of humor."
"Yeah," I muttered, "and now I'm terrified of what's in that gift box."
"Allie open the start gift."
"Yes dear"
The gift box shimmered like it was wrapping and unwrapping itself in every color at once. Allie's voice rang playfully through my mind.
"Unwrapping now! Let's see what God packed you~"
With a soft ding, the box burst into beams of light—projecting a grid of shimmering icons into the inventory.

I stared at the inventory grid, slowly blinking.
"This is… a lot."
"Yes, hubby~" Allie said cheerfully. "Now you can buy Hogwarts. Or at least a really nice cauldron."
"I don't know what to do with ten Destiny Shards."
"I do," she said. "Just don't drop them. They tend to punch holes in probability."
I shook my mental head.
"Okay. I'm officially loaded."
"Ohh, he gave me the chair. Now all I need is a cat, a fireplace… oh, and the ability to hold up my head."
I grinned, baby cheeks stretched into a proud smile I could barely control.
Allie giggled in my mind. "You're adorable, you know that?"
"I'm menacing," I corrected firmly. "Just... currently very round."
I shifted mental focus. "What are GP and Destiny Shards, anyway?"
"GP stands for Gold Pieces," Allie explained. "They're the main currency used in the shop. There are four shop currencies in total:
Copper, Silver, Gold, and Destiny Shards."
"Like a fantasy game," I muttered.
"Exactly. It scales like this:
10 Copper = 1 Silver
10 Silver = 1 Gold"
"Got it. And Destiny Shards?"
Her tone grew more serious—still sweet, but unmistakably weighty.
"Destiny Shards are... special," she said. "They're capable of doing far more than just buying things. You can use them to alter the universe, change story events, affect fate, even transmute materials—like turning iron into gold. Some shop items can only be purchased with Destiny Shards. They're in a league of their own."
I blinked. "Wait—I can alter reality with these?"
"Correct," she said, dead serious now. "They can also be used to upgrade and evolve your system—without limit."
I paused, brain spinning.
"…Okay. That's... something I'll need to very carefully explore later."
Smart me says: "Plan ahead."
Dumb me says: "Reality-bending go brrr."
I coughed mentally. "All right, let's move on from the reality-breaking currency before I get tempted."
I took a deep breath and mentally tapped the next tab.
"Let's look into the Inner World now."
[INNER WORLD]
LEVEL: 1
The world unfurled before me like a living painting—rich green grass, swirling white mist encircling it all, and a tranquil pond at the center. Sitting beside it, a stunning woman in a white sundress—Allie—dipped her feet into the water like she owned the place. Because, well… she kind of did.
A faint hum pulsed through the air—like this whole world was quietly alive.
"…Okay, what exactly am I looking at?" I asked, hovering in this bird's-eye god-mode.
Allie turned her head slightly, smiling up at the sky—at me. "Welcome to your Inner World Farm System, sweetheart."
She stood gracefully, her sundress fluttering as she walked along the edge of the pond.
"This space is fully yours. Currently, you have access to Tier 1 Soil—basic level, but upgradeable."
"Right now, time here moves 10x faster than the outside world. That'll increase as your level rises. Eventually, you'll have centuries in here for every year out there."
"...Okay, now I'm listening," I said, eyes narrowing in interest.
She raised a hand, and a golden farm UI appeared beside her.
INNER WORLD: LEVEL 1
Available Plots: 10
Soil Tier: Basic
Growth Speed: x2 (Base) → Boosted by Phoenix Pond Aura
Time Ratio: 10:1

"All plants you grow here can be infused with mana, spiritual energy, or later, elemental energy," Allie explained. "Growth is automatically tracked, and once you reach Level 5, you'll unlock auto-harvest."
"Harvested crops will be ranked," she added, snapping her fingers. "From Normal → Spiritual → Mystic → Divine → World-Class."
She flicked her wrist again, and a small pack floated in mid-air.
"I've placed your 100 wheat seeds in the storage. We can plant them now or wait until you've upgraded some soil."
I blinked. "And that pond?"
"It's classified as a Phoenix-Grade Vital Spring—passively buffs everything around it. Even basic wheat will grow stronger here. Later, you can build spiritual irrigation lines from it."
"…This is insane."
Allie giggled. "Oh, we haven't even started yet."
