Shiva was someone who was always dependent on himself on every occasion, be it in the tower or in on the Earth. Even if he wanted to there was no one there for him to depend upon. He grew up like a wild lone wolf in a ruthless forest.

It wasn’t any different even after he entered the Tower, He was still a loner. He never had any relationship with anyone neither friendship nor love, he just liked being alone, or maybe he was too used to being alone that he no longer felt the warmth of comfort from anyone.

But it wasn’t always a disadvantage that followed loneliness. with being alone, the fear inside him also slowly resided, he slowly got used to the darkness, the darkness itself became a warmth for him whom no one even cared. And without even knowing he had already forgot the emotion of fear.

But right now~

"gho....gho....ghost!?"

He backed down seeing the white things that were materializing out of nowhere...His hands were shaking....his legs were trembling.

For a onlooker, it may seem like a joke, but for the person who was holed up in his home his entire life it was like the worst nightmare.

{Welcome to the World of Souls, Morgue}

A voice greeted him who was shaking in fear.

He turned around to see who it was.

It was a goat...more precisely a white soul of thing which had the body of a human and face of a goat.

"A ghost!... Ghost" Shiva said as he took out his chained scythe. It was the only thing that came to his mind at the movement.

{Ho...don’t mistake me I am not a Ghost, I am a Goat}

Shiva was stupefied not knowing what to do seeing the ghost talk...I mean the Goat talk.

but he didn’t lower his guard, still holding the scythes high.

{And, anyway that wouldn’t work on me th....!!wait a minute! you can hear me!}

The goat came near him as surprised as himself, it easily passed through his body.....and was about to say something when it noticed that it was talking with him.

"Of course, I can hear you?"

Isn’t that normal, he was hearing all sorts of weird noises from all the creatures there too...

{Ah!! Oh I see that’s why!}

He suddenly gleamed as if he found out the answer to his question.

"huh?"

{You have the ability to communicate with the souls, right? now that eases my work.}

Shiva was still looking at him dumbly not knowing what was going on.

{My name is Ares, I am one of twelve soul generals}

"Soul generals?? Ares? like in 12 zodiacs?"

{Oh, don’t be confused I will explain everything clearly.}

The white fog-like thing that was floating below him materialized into a human-sized body with an outfit wearing a black tuxedo. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

{It has been so long that I thought I would disappear without meeting anyone, but finally, here you are!}

’What the hell is he talking about?’

{hoho...I must have surprised you earlier, I apologize for that! you must be here for the Soul stone, right?}

"Yeah, I am here for that"

Shiva didn’t try to hide anything as it seemed like the opposite party knew something about it. It was better to extract information from him than hiding then obvious.

{Well the stone is here...}

He took out a small pebble-sized stone which was completely transparent without any color, it would be mistaken for a glass at first glance, it was emitting a brilliant light with a glow of its own.

"That...is the ’Soul Stone’....!!"

He was amazed seeing the Soul stone, its brilliance, its glow.

It was unlike anything he had seen until now.

But when he thought again, it didn’t make sense, ’Was it that easy?’

It was one of the 11 Origin stones for god’s sake, no way in the hell would getting it would be this easy.

He eyed at the goat which was holding the stone.

{Hoho...Seems like you guessed it!}

’Shoot’

{To get this you must clear my test}

’I knew it’

He thought as he was pondering whether to snatch it away from that goat.

{I suggest you not try anything funny since you wouldn’t succeed anyway}

The goat said as if seeing through Shiva’s schemes.

’Tch!’, Shiva clicked his tongue inwardly but didn’t show it on his face as he smiled broadly and asked the goat in a polite manner.

"Ares-nim, What is that I am supposed to do, just tell me I will do it in a snap"

The eyes of the goat went wide, probably because of how this shameless ba*tard who was acting arrogant a movement ago was literally licking his boot now.

but he composed himself as he spoke in a casual manner again,

{Well, let’s first get you ready}

The goat snapped its finger and then.....

....nothing happened.

Thud!

but there was a noise of something falling on the ground.

Shiva looked in the direction of the sound and there...!!!

He saw a body on ground. Damn! It was his own body on the ground, ’Wait a minute, then how am I seeing my body?’

He was confused about how he who was seeing the world through his eyes just a second ago was now seeing his own body. He touched his body to confirm he was fine but..!

but there was nobody at all, just like the goat he had also become a mass of white fog!

<Your soul has been drawn out from his body>

The system notification came a second later to notify the suituation.

’WHAT!!!!’, He screamed seeing the system prompt. but there was still more to come.

<You will not be able to use any of the skills on Solu-State>

<Since you are in ’Morgue’, your soul won’t dissipate until extreme damage is done>

{hoho...Isn’t it amazing to fly in the sky??}

he heard the voice of the goat and turned around only to see the goat with his smiling face hovering high in the sky.

’This f*cker!’

****

(meanwhile on the outskirt of the grave)

A clown with a weird mask appeared just above the grave of Unknown as he saw the dug-up grave.

"hohoho...seems like I was a little late"

He said still laughing but in a depressed tone, "But what can I do now...!"

He was about to leave when he abruptly stopped as if he found something quite intresting!

"I see there are some rats hiding here"

He said looking at the grave where Kaiser was hiding.

’Shit!’ Kaiser who was hiding in the grave’s shadow had a chill on his back, as he looked at the freak.

"Then let’s play until the ’Big-rat’ appears...hoho"
