Prologue
I am Callan Wales.
My life ended. I am conflicted to tell if it's fortunate or not. Life is so harsh and brutal but it has its own beauty.
I had friends…had. Then there's my family and they gave me memories that I cherished.
But what did give to myself? I only did what really satisfied me. Not really caring for others…There was so much more in life and my only regret was not to experience even when I had the choice to.
I only realized life is so fragile when you lost it. People were so happy…I wish I could've known what makes people really happy than just the things I have done for my own self. I'm not a NEET by the way but I was…plain and sad but barely an emo.
"Is that what you wish? To know the happiness of others."
Someone echoed in my head. If my soul had a body, I would jolt and widen my eyes. But the question left me surprise nonetheless. Assuming that I myself asked the question to myself, I merely formulated a reply of.
Yes.
"Very well, with this wish also comes great power. Hierarch and Khala of the Protoss."
Protoss? As in the technological dudes from that Starcraft game? And Hierarch, that's the highest authority in the Templar ranks. And isn't Khala their religion?
As I asked myself with these questions, I was suddenly filled with pain as if my soul was being burned from the fires of hell's furnaces. I can hear voices, millions of voices and feel them enter my mind. I feel beings and souls enter my heart.
The pain was unbearable to the human body. I don't know how long the pain lasted.

Chapter 1: Rebirth of memories.
I opened my eyes and was greeted with the sight of aqua blue skies and dancing leaves from tree branches.
I feel like someone who just woke up in the morning as I felt my body still half-wake and lump to the soft grass that I was pushed to.
I pushed my body to sit up and look where I am currently in. I stretched both my arms trying to regain small amount of flexibility then I stood to my feet. I wore casual attire, a dark blue long sleeve jacket, black pants and shoes. My black hair was still to their normal size which was small.
After a much needed stretching, I took my time to observe the place I found myself in. The trees that dominated the view had unnatural black wood color and the leaves hanging in their branches were still green. The soft grass was also unnaturally darker that most lawns and forests that remember. The wind was gentle and comforting; it seems the breeze of nature never ceases to satisfy me.
This feels like your everyday mc-op-reincarnation-manga-cliché.
It was then I noticed something really wrong. It related to my mind and body. Normally I would be very tired and physically scrawny in the morning. In the back of my head if I focus hardly, I could small whispers.
My heart was pleasantly and comfortingly warm as if my soul was filled with love and other positive emotions. This reinforces the theory why I wasn't shocked or at least surprised why I am given another chance in life. Yet despite the positive emotions, I still had the ability to consciously pessimistic.
I felt full…not at the stomach but by soul. A feeling you get when you connect with your significant other through intimacy. Something from my being held great power which the voice, who is obviously not Amon, was referring to.
I searched in my mind what these powers were. From my search, I found lines of information which I recognized instantly. Information I recognized due to my experiences with the Starcraft Universe. I have a vague memory of the game but it seems I have information stored in my mind waiting to be read.
I was Khala itself, is that even possible? Khala is a religion, not a person yet I am Khala, I am the vessel that connects the uniting links of every Protoss in existence. Within my entire being, I found millions or perhaps billions of Protoss souls with their memories intact in my heart, which is now a very powerful Khaydarin Crystal, a half-heart and half-crystal. I was the connection that links every Protoss in existence, similar to the Overmind of the Zerg and I held this souls.
I am organic yet my being is purely made out of psionic energy. I entered Khala or myself again, and so did in another reality I watched the sleeping souls of the remnants of the Protoss civilization inside me. I can't severe my link to their emotions and thoughts but I however can severe my link with their memories, I really value my and their own privacy but I still can access them whenever I wanted.
Sadly, I didn't have a single Nezarim Protoss or Dark Templar souls and memories in me. They're so cool and Zeratul is such a badass. Another sad note is I didn't find Artannis's soul or other prominent characters of the Protoss.
I also had immense amounts of Psionic Energy stored within me, which I can use to build Protoss Structures. The information kept in my head for being Khala has lots to absorb in. From the interior design to exterior architecture, Protoss building had such very graceful features.
My first objective was to build a Nexus. I would later find information about this world.
So I travelled through the peaceful and silent forest but as I continued my travel, I was yet to encounter wild life and at least hear a bird flap or sing. I was beginning to grow very weary of the silence, all I could hear the wind dancing around with the leaf.
Later, I found a clearing or valley to be specific. Standing tall in the edge of a cliff, I gazed upon the horizon. The lush land of grass and hills stretched in the horizon, there was even a river in the view and mountain standing tall in the far of the horizon.
Yes, this is the place for rebirth of the Protoss.
Using the knowledge and memories of High Templar of the Protoss, I levitated myself and navigated through the air finding a suitable place for a first Nexus in this planet. I had my own personal Psionic Matrix which stretched a hundred meters or so, that means I can warp in Protoss soldiers near me anytime I want.
Walking up to the crest of one of the hills, I found a suitable place for the Nexus.
I closed my eyes and focused in manipulating the Psionic Energy within me, commanding it to do my bidding, imagining a Nexus to form.
Seconds later, I could Psionic energy active in my palms. I opened my eyes back to see lightning arcs roaming around my arms and both in my hands were balls of crackling blue lightning energy.
Smirking in anticipation, I stretched my arms at my front and the blue light shot out violently from palms. My arms were shuddering as I felt Psionic Energies drawing out from me.
Just in front of me, a massive ball of Psionic energy flashed into existence. I draw back my arms as I stopped releasing Psionic Energy. The ball of Psionic Energy's outer edge was glowing blue while the area was deep black as void and sometimes it would summon lightning beneath it, it was rotating and I could hear deep the buzzing of bass.
If my knowledge is correct, then it will take about five hours before the warp-in is complete.
So I floated in front of the ball of the Psionic Energy which will eventually warp a Nexus and just waited.
I had goals and a purpose. With this chance of new life, I will give it my all!

AN: Well I hope you guys and gals liked that prologue. And yes the MC or Callan Wales will be considered a laid-back Mary Sue.
Now this story is inspired from East Bridge's famous The Zerg Swarm and it has its similarities and difference. The similarity is where the Overmind is the MC which Khala (The religion) is the Protoss counterpart which binds unity is also the MC. The difference however is The Zerg Swarm is more heavily game-mechanic and realistically based while this story will be slightly altered in an imaginative and novelistic scenario. The first two or maybe three will be about Callan's progress with the Protoss.
I'm not really of a Protoss Player and more of a Terran Player and I haven't played the Legacy of the Void so I'm sorry if some of my written information is canonically wrong but you have to understand that I barely know the Protoss and only know them in cut scenes and slight game play. I have a VERY vague memory about Protoss history and speech patterns.
Please rate & review. Excuse my English for being my third language.
