Chapter 125
The human soul blinked in confusion "A goddess, so i am really dead then"
"Yes, indeed," Xerosis confirmed with a nod. "And you, my friend, are now located in the realm of the underworld, now undergoing a transformation of sorts."
Xerosis took note of that, "Do you remember something else, like your past life?" she asked a bit eagerly.
The human showed a thinking look before confusion "Nothing, i remember nothing except dying under the claws of a beast while hunting"
The soul looked down at his hands, flexing his fingers as if testing his newfound form. "I... I remember... I remember dying," he murmured, his voice filled with a mix of sorrow and realization.
Roth stepped forward, his expression thoughtful. "Yes, death is but a transition, human. And it seems you have been given a second chance, thanks to the changes brought about by the souls of the mutated beasts."
The human soul looked up, his eyes reflecting a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness of the underworld. "A second chance... to do what?"
Xerosis placed a hand on his shoulder, her touch cold yet comforting and firm. "We don’t know but you are no longer aimlessly wandering, but rather, you are part of something greater now. You can explore the now changed underworld and see what purpose you find in it"
The soul nodded slowly, a sense of determination flickering within him. "I... I will find my purpose. Thank you, your highness Xerosis, Roth. Thanks for this second chance oh great will" The human soul said as he looked up to the underworld sky with fervor.
Roth heard the human, so he quickly asked "Great will, what do you mean by that"
The human looked weirdly at Xerosis and Roth "You live inside the great will, yet you know nothing of it"
