Transmigrated as a Ghost

The atmosphere had become quite heavy after Marcus voiced his original purpose for venturing down into the hidden complex below the resort.

It seemed that the undead from Earth running the place were one push away from breaking now and simply attacking him again in a fit of panic.

Luckily, the lich calmed down since Marcus was giving them a chance to explain rather than just going ahead and moving to have them destroyed thanks to all of them having similar origins begin from Earth.

"Let us continue this discussion somewhere else. This is not the ideal location to hold a lengthy discussion." The lich said, beckoning everyone to follow him.

Some of his undead allies looked to not be fully onboard with this, and still wanted to silence Marcus here and now, but they followed their leader's commands.

For a moment Marcus hesitated to follow since there was a chance this was a trap, but he did not sense any such intentions from the lich and was confident that worst case scenario he would have to use his revival unique skill to escape.

Swiftly the lich brought Marcus to a room that had a large table in it and sat down at the head.

The other undead followed and took seats by the lich's side, and left several seats open for Marcus to choose from. Naturally he picked the one farthest away.

When he did all the undead had forlorn expressions appear on their faces for a moment, before returning to the stoney visages they had been wearing.

This piqued Marcus' interest but he held back on asking anything. Now was not the time to delve into whatever emotions had monetarily stirred among these undead.

"You said you would answer three of our questions before assign one of your own, so to start, answer what I asked you earlier." The lich said, fixing a stern look towards Marcus.

"That is simple enough to answer. It is because I am a ghost and noticed when the thing you created attached itself to me. I then promptly destroyed it, and my wife and I began looking into the source. We were very surprised to have stumbled upon something like this when on our honeymoon."

After he said this Marcus received a bunch of bewildered stares from most of the undead, but the skeleton champion despite only having a skull to make expression with fixed him with what looked like a jealous gaze.

"So, you really are a ghost, an undead like us." Alyna said.

She had clashed with Marcus in spiritual form and been defeated by him, but she was still unsure if he was really an undead or had just used some sort of unique skill to transform.

The other undead except for Cassius the phantom armor had all seen Marcus disappear as well and nodded their heads now that their suspicions were confirmed.

"Still, if you are a ghost why do you not give off any aura of undeath and how do you move around so freely? As strong as you are, your aura should be nearly as dense as mine, and ghost should be bound to something. Be it revenge or a location. But no matter how I look at it, right now your presence feels like that of a human." The lich said, a perplexed look in his eyes.

The other undead all had similar expression, and Marcus found this to be understandable.

He was far from a normal ghost, having been transferred to Mirrion as a completely unique existence in the form of an unbound ghost.

Then he had further moved away from the norm by becoming a great spirit along with being a ghost. Making him an even more usual entity that was both an undead and a spirit.

Thanks to this he actually had a presence that was closer to that of a spirit than a ghost.

"Let me just say that the administrator had some fun at my expense and turned me into a ghost from the moment I arrived on this world. I later became a spirit as well, so that is why I do not give off the presence of a normal ghost or am bound to anything." Marcus said, not going into any more detail.

Nevertheless, this garnered all of the other undead that originally came from earth's attention.

"I see, at first I thought that you might have been like us, but it seems I was wrong." The lich said.

Marcus wanted to further inquire about what he had just said, but instead told the lich that he had one more question before it was his turn to start answering. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

"Very well. Who are you affiliated with, and what have you already told them about us?" The lich asked.

From the tone in his voice and the expression on his and his comrades' faces, Marcus could tell that they were pretty nervous about his answer.

'I am sure that depending on what I say here will determine whether they start trying to destroy me again or not.' Marcus thought.

He could tell that if he told them that he had already spilled what was going on here to a powerful organization that the undead would likely resort to killing him and then attempting to flee.

Though the question of why they had not already abandoned the place after Mrazivy escaped was something that was bugging Marcus.

If they were really afraid about being found out their best course of action would not be to converse with him, but to simply flee.

"I have only told two other individual about this place and what is going on here. So, including my wife that is only four of us. One is the guild master of the adventurers guild branch on this island, and the other is a man named Boreas who is likewise from Earth and an ally of mine. As of right now though I do not believe that the adventurers guild as a whole have been informed."
