As Marcus slowly regained consciousness his body moved and bumped into something hot " Ahh Shit that burned the hell out of me.What the hell did I touch? " He looked around only to see darkness in his surroundings. Looking down there seems to be humanoid remains made up of a cracked skull and ribs with scraps of clothes and a glowing white sword. " That sword is probably what burned me " focusing on the sword Marcus heard a ding sound. Ding ding ding " what the hell is that noise. Ah That's right he told me to say or think ``guide'' and when he did a sultry female voice said " One moment ". Guide Initializing 10%.... 20%…..35%...70%....100% , Setup complete.

" Holy shit he wasn't joking. It's a literal guide. I'll just skim over it a bit, hmhmhm. wow my stats are bad but i can understand given the circumstances. I float so that gives me good mobility which explains my speed being higher. I'm also intangible so therefore I have almost no strength. My intangibility weakens while simultaneously strengthening my constitution meaning I'm weak to magic and magic weapons but impervious to physical attacks.Hey guide can you answer questions", Marcus finishes his speculation and decides he needs clarification.
" Yes I'm capable of answering your questions within reason of course, I am not omnipotent ", Answer Guide.
" I feel kinda stupid asking guide to do what its there for which is to guide me. oh right the sword guide how do i analyze the sword ", asked Marcus.
" You already have. Do you wish to see its data? " Questioned Guide.
" Yes ", confirmed Marcus.
Name : Ghost Slayer
Rank : uncommon
Creator : Edwin Locke
Composition : Fine iron , Hallowed Bone Dust
" Well damn that weapon is worthless to me. Hey wait didn't you say you weren't omnipotent if that's the case then how did you know the creator of the sword ", Questioned Marcus.
" There is a magic brand on the sword identifying its creator ", answered Guide.
" Hmm is there anything else on my stats page that deserves further inquiry " , Mumbles marcus. Marcus continues skimming the page until he hits the bottom causing him to pause. "Uhh Guide what is soul storage and why is there a corrupted soul and a dark soul in there?" Inquired a concerned Marcus.
" Soul storage is where you keep corrupted souls you saved but only the ones who wish for a second life. Dark souls are powerful souls of enemies you captured. Here is the info on the corrupted soul ", answered Guide.
Name : Ebony Morra
Cause of Death : Stabbing
Age : 18
Killer : Tom Black
" I can't believe this. I mean I heard about that guy on the news but I didn't know E was one of his victims. DAMMIT fuck fuck fucking fucker. I'll kill that Motherfucker someway somehow ", yells Marcus breathing hard. " Alright can she be resurrected and if so how? " , asked Marcus anxiously.
" Yes, she can be resurrected but I'm not certain what the requirements are to achieve this. Death left you a message perhaps you will learn how to resurrect her from him" , advised Guide,
" Okay it couldn't hurt to listen to the message because he obviously put those souls in there for a reason. Let's listen to that message now " , said Marcus.
" Marcus the companion you requested is currently in soul form.Its easier to send a soul there so I snatched a vengeful spirit unable to cross over.Luckily the spirit happened to be someone you knew. Unluckily she requires special care so i sent you a bonus soul to help with her recovery. She has been corrupted by her negative emotions causing her to be in a state of extreme bloodlust. To remove the corruption from her you must let her destroy the object of her hatred which is the man who murdered her. Of course you must resurrect her first. You'll need 5 things: a body, a place rich in death mana, her soul obviously, a drop of your blood and finally a memory fragment of her past self.You already have 4 out of 5 so it won't take long to save her. Marcus you need to evolve into a reaper first so there won't be any trouble during the ritual.Good luck Marcus ", explained Death. " P.S. Marcus when choosing a body the stronger the better", noted Death.
" Hey guide, you know that name is terrible. I've decided to call you Gipsy because your voice is kinda sultry and you're kinda like a fortune teller in that you can tell me info and help determine my future moves. Gypsy is the dark soul Tom Black " , asked Marcus.
" Yes the dark soul is Tom Black ", answered Gypsy
" How many evolutions do I have until I become a Reaper. It's important to plan ahead so I can save E as quickly as possible.", asked Marcus.
" There are 9 evolutions until you become a Reaper. They are Ghost, Greater Ghost, Wraith, Greater Wraith, Skeleton, Ghoul, Zombie, Zombie General and Zombie King ", answered Gypsy.
" That's a lot. Damn am I glad I got that xp bonus to quickly evolve. Let's do this, I'm coming E " , said Marcus.
