Huuh, Why am I falling so fast?
When I looked around I can only see a dark void with chaotic lights around me, Am I in garganta?!!
No the are various nebulous lights in the distance, where am I did I get transmigrated again.
I tried calling out to shingetsu but there was no response and I can't even access my inner world.
I hope she survived the last battle, I didn't think that the price of that technique is so heavy that even my soul is so unstable, no wonder she didnt want to tell me about.
I need to recover my riatsu faster I wonder where I am falling towards, while I was checking the surrounding
I sensed some fluctuations in the distance, are those crossing souls too?
there was a soul somewhat near me with a strange force covering and pulling it somewhere fast.
Well it's now or never, I might not have any other chance so close to me before I weaken anyfurther, when I locked my spiritual power on the soul I was forcefully towed away in the same direction as I unconsciously protected my self with my remaining power.
.
.
.
It's dark.
The darkness envelopes all, preventing me from seeing any shape or figure.
Where am I? Besides, what had happened?
At least there is no falling down this time around.
.
With that thought, I regained consciousness.
My name is Raiden, 20 years old or 37 if my first life counts, A shinigami
As I tried move I was overwhelmed by intense feeling of nausea.
I hurriedly tried to calm down and sense the state of my body, How am I even alive ?
I can barely sense spiritual energy in my body, extending my senses outward there isn't any riatsu around here, when sensed carefully there was a strange energy particles in the surroundings and I was unconsciously absorbing some of it, I followed some of it and that's when I discovered that my spiritual body is partly condensed from this energy, well if it can stabilize my condition so be it.
What happened to the soul that I was following? Was it able to reach here with me.
when I searched further I sensed its fluctuations, it was slightly different than what I remembered in aura and shape, what is that round body,? I was sure this was a human soul, how did it become like this.
I tried sensing the movement of the energy around me to try and map out the situation, at first I succeeded a little but my body started destabilizing so I refocused on my self for now.
After some time I got used to the new sensation and began visualizing the shape, this is slightly easier than sensing riatsu at least I can visualize a clear picture in my mind but it needs a lot of focus so I focused on the soul next to me first, it has a physical round body, Is it melting grass?!!
is this is what I think it is? did it get Riencarnated as SLIME??!!!!
.
.
.
And so, since I had nothing else to do in this darkness, I kept sensing to confirm.
As a result, I have confirmed that It is, in fact, a slime (Viscous Life-form = Non-rare life-form).
Well at least he wouldn't have to worry about hunger and sleep.
I can sense strong spiritual energy from him so at least he might have some memories that would suck, I don't imagine what it feels now or does it have feelings at all.
I will try to focus on healing for now.
Sometime later when I stabilized my body a bit I tried opening my eyes , I am in a dark underground cavern, the only source of light around is small glowing rocks which doesn't illuminate much and is disappearing, What is that? Why is there a slime eating the rocks around.
How much did it devour looked around and found perpherial patches of grass, wasn't there a lot of them when I sensed earlier, I can't be wrong the grass had a lot of this energy that around us?, did he eat all of it.
I let my guard down because it is a slime, luckily there was no grass around me it seems like it can't sense the surrounding energy although it is constantly absorbing it.
There is nothing around me here I can't see the end of the cavern and my slime neighbor is eating all light remaining, And here he goes away, Now I can't see anything might as well try to sense this atmospheric energy and find a way to recover faster.
I kept familiarizing myself with this new energy while absorbing it for a while now and I discovered some bad news, for some reason the energy is absorbed faster by my hollow factor and it has small effect on my mind thankfully I trained in using hollow power so I am used to it, I was convinced that with shingetsu being unreachable my hollow factor will be dormant but this energy is somewhat more compatible to hollows, it is not like I can't control it on the contrary it is not that hard, It just that with the hollow factor it a lot easier but for now I have to suppress it I must recover normally first, who knows what will I become if I allowed this to continue, so I suppressed the hollow factor and focused on ansorbing the energy myself which resulted in slowing time my recovery speed significantly, At least I am stable now.
Thinking that, I continued meditating.
(So this is considered my third life, huh… not as troublesome as the second one.)
Those were Raiden last thoughts before falling into a sate of deep meditation(snoring wuxia style).
