Inside a mysterious dinsion filled with endless seas of hellish fire, Alex found himself lost. Flas of a myriad colors filled his vision creating a beautiful sight. Plains, valleys, mountains, grasslands, all such natural formations were present in this dinsion. Only that, they seed to be constructed out of pure flas.
After being hit by that mysterious pillar of light, his soul was transported into this mysterious dinsion of fire. No instructions were given and with him only being present here in his soul state.
Alex had waited for a while, expecting changes to occur. Alas even after waiting for what seed to be an eternity, not changes occurred.
It was a scene of fire, fire and more fire.
Deciding to look around, he finally moved. Roaming aimlessly for a while, Alex finally gave up after completely losing his sense of direction. There was no change in the scenery with seas of various colorful flas filling his vision
"What do I do here?! Don't just pull into this space and leave alone! Tell how to proceed!" Alex scread, only for his voice to be drowned out in the sea of flas.
His current situation was similar to playing a open-world ga, except that no objectives or quests were given. Hell, he did not even want to be here anymore.
"Bastard! Co out! I swear I won't hit you!" after another hour of walking around aimlessly, Alex started to threaten the empty air.
He received no reply.
Having lost all his patience, he furiously threw a punch towards the empty air. Unconsciously he seed to have circulated his soul power. It was then, that a change occurred.
The various flas which were present before him, suddenly shook before flying up into the air. Flas that were green, white, red, yellow, and many others of different colors, gathered to form a frightening hurricane.
In face of Alex's astonished gaze, this hurricane of flas compressed into a small sphere before flying towards him and entering into his head.
The painful feeling of being burnt never occurred. Rather, he felt that a mysterious lock which seed to have chained him, finally shatter. Alex felt himself leaving this space and returning back to his body.
Opening his eyes, he instinctively knew how to control fire and various knowledge regarding flas. He had achieved Stage 1. And his soul was called....

In another dinsion, Reyna found herself surrounded by various machines and chanical lives.
Tall buildings, trains, cars, flying drones, all sorts of wacky and fantastical construction were present. The scene seed to be a mixture of Sci-Fi and Steampunk worlds, mixing with each other. Various creations which were both known and unknown to her were present.
Steam powered machines, robots, AI life forms, spaceships, computers. She found herself in a world that was made and belonged to various machines.
Seeing this strange yet wonderful world, Reyna did not feel scared. Rather, she felt herself returning ho. Her curious and inquisitive nature was fully stoked.
Completely imrsing herself into this world, Reyna started to converse with the various netizens of this world. Their language wasn't sothing that Reyna had ever learnt or heard, but sohow she found herself capable of conversation.
Her speech and selection of words were awkward at first. Her tone was unsure and her language was broken at the beginning. However, after a few hours she found herself improving rapidly.
Before she knew it, she had already mastered the language and could freely speak with the machines around her.
Just like how Reyna was curious about these machines, the machines in turn were curious about Reyna. Their conversation started from basic introduction, before delving into complicated chanical and scientific theories.
Many doubts and questions which troubled Reyna for a long ti were easily and casually solved by these machines. More and more machines started to gather around her and were involved in a fierce debate that was ongoing.
After a few more hours, just as the debate finally concluded, Reyna felt sothing shatter within her. Imdiately, she found herself returning to the Alliance Base and a newfound power filled her. Various knowledge and chanical theories started to fill her mind, as she felt her brain becoming more nimble and her calculating prowess increasing.
Her soul had also ascended into Stage 1, with her soul type being...

Olivia found herself kneeling before an altar inside a dilapidated temple. Her forehead was completely touching the moss-covered stone floor. Words belonging to an unknown language flowed out her mouth, as she seed to slowly repeat an incantation.
Much like Alex and Reyna. Olivia found herself arriving in a mysterious dinsion.
The sky inside this dinsion was broken and a mysterious violet light, endlessly leaked from the endless abyss outside. Faint howls and screams were heard in the distance. When Olivia tried to focus her senses to hear these screams, the sounds mysteriously disappeared.
She stood atop a tall mountain, which consisted of a single path leading to a broken shrine. This shrine or rather temple, was built from a black colored stone and had golden light leaking from within.
Underneath the mountain, was an endless abyss which seed to devour everything. Having no other choice, she walked towards the broken temple.
After approaching the temple, she noticed an enormous archway carved with beautiful murals. Although broken, the temple radiated a feeling of ancientness and majesty.
On either sides of this archway, upon the walls of the temple were carving illustrating a magnificent scene.
On the left were the most beautiful people Olivia had ever scene. The figures of the n and woman carved upon the wall were perfect and breathtaking. Mighty wings spread out from their back as each figure held onto a different weapon. Their faces were solemn as they seed to rush towards battle.
They looked valiant and heroic, dominant and inviolable.
Looking at these pictures the first thought that ca in Olivia mind was- Angels.
On the other side of the arch, was a scene which was the exact opposite. Devils.
Hideous figures with twisted bodies which seed to originate from within the Abyss were seen. Their faces were hideous, with cruel smiles present upon them. Their humanoid figures held various extremities which seed to serve the function of their weapons. Much like the Angels, these Devils, seed to rush towards the other side for battle.
They looked vicious, depraved and wicked.
Looking at these images which were so beautifully carved that they seed to be alive, Olivia seed to be in a daze. Forcibly shaking her head and awaking from her stupor she headed inside.
Unlike the magnificent exterior of the temple, the interior were completely plain. There were no murals or carving present. At the very end of the temple, a simple stone altar was present. Through a hole in the rooftop, a ray of violet light entered the temple lighting up its interiors.
The floor was covered with stone similar to the walls and violet moss grew within it's cracks. Carefully scanning every inch of this space, Olivia finally made it towards the altar.
Standing exactly five ters away from the alter, she carefully scrutinized every inch of the altar.
It was a simple stone altar, made from the sa materials as the walls and the floor. The surface of the altar was smooth and flat, with cracks present all over it. Behind the altar, upon the broken stone wall, Olivia finally noticed so carving.
The carving consisted of words written in an unknown language. The words gave off a feeling of suppression. Each stroke was deep and beautiful.
"Hymn of Souls." Olivia unconsciously mumbled the words.
Mysterious knowledge flowed into her brain at this mont, giving her the ability to read these words. Olivia's mind entered an unconscious, dazed state before chanically speaking the words written and following the procedures written.
Completing the full set of rituals, she stiffly stood up before walking towards the stone altar. Using her nails, she slashed her wrists and let her blood fall upon the altar.
At the mont the blood made contact with the altar, it suddenly disappeared before a violet sphere of light appeared atop the altar. Upon appearance, it imdiately flew into Olivia's mind.
Olivia woke up at this mont and found herself back at the Alliance Base. Various knowledge regarding her newfound abilities flowed through her mind. Her soul broke into the Stage 1 realm, with it's type being.

People looked at themselves in disbelief as knowledge about their respective powers and souls started to appear in their mind. So continued to remain dazed, while others tried their new strengths.
Super strength, increased speeds, higher processing speeds, x-ray vision, such abilities were tested one after another by each person.
Alex, Reyna and Oliva were no exceptions.
Snapping his finger, an ember of fla appeared within Alex's hand. Reyna could instinctively feel the machines around her, which seed to be alive. Oliva's mind was filled with new found incantations and spells related to her new soul.
It was then, that the sky suddenly pulsed with white light. All of them raised their heads and stared at the distance. A massive pillar of light, which seed to be 10 ters in diater was pulsing with energy.
The pillar of light which was white in color was turning black.
Alex, Olivia, Reyna, all the inhabitants of the base, witnessed this new change and started to head towards this pillar of light.
