The entity that reincarnated Veronica and her coworkers in Kritias was resting inside a completely white space. ​​

Its figure was that of an old man, with a long and resplendent white beard, his eyes lacked pupils and were pure white, and he was wearing some white Greek-style robes. His skin was pale-white and shined too bright for the human eye to even see the features over his skin.

In the time when Veronica and her coworkers were killed and their souls were sent to this space, he decided not to show himself to them.

But now that he was alone, he let his resplendent body show itself through the white space he inhabited.

"Hmm… Their first world seems to have been a success, these Heroes have successfully defeated the Demon Queen Anastacia and the Dark God Razdall with the help of the God Bestellen… whenever they die there, I will call their souls here again to ask them if they had found any bugs in the system or something strange… but it seems that the Samsara System has been flawless, no issues have been presented. To be expected of my own work, the one that even an entity such as my Master recognizes" said the bearded entity.

The entity glanced at hundreds of yellow holographic windows appearing and disappearing all over his sight. They showcased numbers, graphics, and statistics, every status that the souls that he reincarnated appeared here…

"Hm? What is this? Was the Demon Queen Anastacia a Reincarnated Soul? Oh my, it seems that it slipped off my grasp" said the bearded man.

The entity was a being designed for the reincarnation of souls by his master, however, as he was busy administrating many worlds, he let the reincarnated souls testing his new system alone, and when he finally came back, they had finished their main mission in that world.

"It must have been painful to have been killed by her previous… err, acquaintances. Anyways, I should bring her soul here… hm?"

As the entity was about to grab the standby soul from a unique space where the souls possessing his system are sent when they die, he realized that space was completely… empty.

"What? Did she not die at the end? Was the other Demon Queen a double?"

The entity could not begin to imagine that his system could have any issues, and he thought that the slain Demon Queen was a double.

He had checked fifty times already, and the soul that named itself as Veronica reincarnated as Anastacia, it was an irrefutable truth.

So on his mind, the slain Demon Queen was either a double or she somehow did not die.

But no matter how much he checked, his flawless system told him that she had been killed.

"No, she is reported as dead, the system clearly says that she died… An error? A bug?"

The entity began to check in the folders that registered the status of the Demon Queen, and even registered what she did every single day since she was born in Kritias.

He checked her last day, the day when she died.

"What? Bestellen killed her with his Divine Authority? Was there any need to go to such lengths?" wondered the entity.

And then, he saw when Anastacia's soul was split in half.

"Was her soul split in half? Since when has Bestellen been able to damage a soul like this? Perhaps he acquired the divine authority of souls from the god in that world? No, that has not happened yet- Wait, the System registered her two split souls as separate individuals…?"

The entity carefully glared at the registries and read them over and over again with immense speed and thought to process. No matter how much he read it again, the information was still the same, he did not read it wrong or something.

Then, he began to find corrupted archives and strange bugs that he did not see before. He had to completely dive into the information of Anastacia to find them… it was as if something else had made sure to hide the information of what happened to her after her death, making the entity not notice in time. Mostly because the bugs and errors would only appear when he clicked on the corrupted files.

"This is the work of a god! Who could have done this? Does Kritias even has a god capable of controlling my own System? Bestellen's side were all ignorant about this…" muttered the bearded entity.

He began to look further and while cleaning the bugs and errors, and quickly found what happened to her.

Two entities temporarily registered themselves as [Takoyaki] and [Karaage], they used their divine authorities to alter the system, grab Anastacia's split souls and forcibly make the system reincarnate them without teleporting the souls into the 'standby space'.

They sent both souls into a world that was not registered before in the list of 'worlds to be reincarnated'.

A strange and bizarrely similar world than Kritias… in a distant parallel universe where the events of Kritias were perfectly mirrored.

"Takoyaki? Karaage? They used provisional names so I could not easily track them… Even their residual divinity has been dissipated already, I cannot find any clues of who were they,"

"But what benefit could they have acquired from forcibly reincarnating this split soul into this strange… wait, what is this world? Isn't this Kritias?"

The entity glanced at the world where Veronica was sent… it was not registered on the list of worlds he wanted the souls to reincarnate into while testing his system.

"This world is an exceptional occurrence; Mirror Worlds are incredibly rare… to think that Kritias has a Mirror World where most events happened exactly as in the original one… and it even has the same gods with the same divinities? This is… outrageous. So, her soul was sent here? Why? What did these gods want her to do in a Mirror World? She is a mere mortal, what she could do is very limited to- but if they carried my System… No, even then… my system only reflects what their souls are capable of, it cannot give them unlimited power capable of saving worlds by itself. Even the Heroes needed to work together with each other…"

The entity tried to check on Veronica's status, but she was not even registered any more in them. She had become something like an 'independent file', outside of his own system, while having perfectly copied all of it.

"Those gods! They copy-pasted my precious system and give it to those split souls?"

The entity's system was a construction made through his divinity… it was something similar to an overly complicated magic circle that imitated a computer program in complexity and was fueled by his divinity and that of his Master.

In theory, other gods could be capable of 'copy-pasting' the system by using their own divinities, but if their divinities did not match with the original entity that created the system, it should have been impossible, or at least, the imitation would be filled with flaws.

The entity glanced at the Mirror World, which was simply nicknamed as Mirror Kritias. His reincarnation cycle was connected to it, but only an artificial intelligence made from his divinity was administrating it automatically, only bringing souls from another world from time to time.

Qadall, the god of reincarnation and death of both the original Kritias and the Mirror Kritias was born after the bearded man entity set up his reincarnation cycle. He had power over souls and death and had created his own reincarnation cycle to support himself, but he seemed way weaker than the bearded old man.

He decided to support the reincarnation cycle of dungeons and monsters, as they easily reproduced, died, and were born, so it helped him greatly to make a big reincarnation cycle even in a world that was already being 'used' by the bearded old man.

Due to this, in both worlds, Qadall was seen as the father of the monster and as an evil god, but he was neutral and chose to live in seclusion. Even when Bestellen asked him to stop, he would not respond.

Since his birth, this god has been a nuisance to the bearded entity, knowing that there were two of them now made things even more annoying.

The entity seemed to be frustrated… but quickly calmed himself.

This entity lived for many years serving his master. He knew that growing desperate and angry would not help.

He had committed a mistake and accepted it, and now, he calmly began to think about what to do to resolve the mistake.
