Though he still had a lot of things in his mind, he tried to focus on his current problems for now. "First I need to get out of this place, though it's easier send them done. Which is north?, which is south?. Damn where are you sun." He couldn't find any clue out his predicament.
The entire flat land was white. He felt he was looking at an empty paper with nothing written on it. " How had this place hosted such a gruesome war. Shouldn't this place be filled with blood river or some death miasma. How is this so pristine clear. Trying to find logic in this fantasy worlds and their bizzare ness will be just be waste of my time and energy. Their might be some stories behind this, who knows sometime in the future, I might discover for now let's walk in whatever direction I can".
Thinking this Zhavrik turned to his right and started walking straight while checking his storage ring. He took a bottle of water in it and washed his face and ate some food that he had stored.
"What about my system though, shouldn't every reincarnated person get a system? Or is just for some selective people?...hmm should I sign-in at some specific place,hmm let's try sign-in system. Why is it not worki- wait don't tell me, will my system appear once I turn 100 years old. Damn won't I just die at that age. Or will the system show it'self if I take in some discipline or I sell something I can receive one mayb."
He started calling for system in every way possible. Since he was a regular reader, he had tried all type of system genre. From normal system to rebate system or even magic system. He tried calling for everything but for his disappointment the system did not pop up.
"Damn such a bad luck. Did I accumulate too much bad luck in my past life? I should have known. Seeing how I was always achieving so many good things and growing so fastly in my career, I should have know that some people will get offended and will curse me. Tsk tsk I think they are the reason that iam in this messed up situation. Whoever you are don't let me catch you or I will make your life living hell."
Cursing at his bad luck and some random people, he did not stop his attempt to call for his system.
As Zhavrik was lost in his thought and walking, he suddenly felt something and turned to look at the "thing" he felt. Straight Ahead a mile or so he could see a mist floating. He felt like the mist is looking towards him. Then suddenly the mist started converging. Zhavrik's first instinct was to run which he did. He started running away from the mist with full speed.
"What the hell is that most. Ghost? Hmm I think it's definitely a Ghost. I knew there are ghosts in this world, but to think my first encounter in this world is not a human but a Ghost. I don't even have enough words to curse at my luck. Hmm why does it feel like it's getting faster. Holyy shittttt, stay away from me Annabelle, don't come near me"
Screaming out of his lung like an idiot and calling out all the ghost names he had seen in movies he started sprinting at even higher speed. He even started praying all the gods from earth expecting some help from any god or entities.
"Holy jesus and Mary help this lost child, amate rasu burn this ghost child. Ohh man how I wish I had sharingan or rinnegan. Jai hanuman, bajarangbali. Ohh anubis please take this lost soul to your court and judge it's soul for chasing me." He started mumbling whatever thoughts came to his mind without reducing his speed.
But his prayers and his efforts were all for naught as the ghost which was behind him was at some point of time overtook him and was floating in front of him.
When Zhavrik realized that the ghost was standing in front of him, he couldn't help but scream in freight and fell on his butt.
After couple of minutes looking at the ghost he tried to regain his composure and started to hit a conversation. But before he can talk the ghost spoke.
"Who are you?"
Listening to ghost question, he was staring at the Ghost dumbfounded.
Trying to keep his composure, he started speaking. "Mr g..g.ghost sir, Myself Zhavrik Thalorein, from Thalorein dukedom. Might I know who you are and what this place is?".
Respectfully speaking to the ghost he bowed down slightly thinking about a possibility.
'Wait is this my cheat?. The Grandpa soul. So my luck is not entirely bad. Good good, I should be more respectful towards this old soul and should make him teach some forbidden techniques. Wait for me you jerks who dumped me in this world, I will learn all the skills that this old man has to offer, I will go to Thalorein dukedom and learn even more powerful skill and will come hunt you mof*s'
Thinking that his luck was not too bad and finally able to get out this creepy land, he couldn't help but smile and was eagerly hoping for the grandpa ghost to talk.
"Iam not a grandpa and I don't have any forbidden skills to teach you. If you want to leave this land alive tell me the truth who are you. The body belongs to Zhavrik but not the soul, tell me who you are"
Listening to what the grandp- no the scary Ghost was saying, Zhavrik almost lost his cool and wanted to run again.
But unlike before he had already accepted his situation and now he was ready to face the problems that might come knocking at his door, so without showing his inner problems, he looked at the ghost more seriously and spoke. " How do you know that Iam not Zhavrik and what's the stuff about grandpa and forbidden technique, did you go mad after becoming a ghost?".
Though he knew that the ghost can read his mind he wanted to confirm it one more time and he wanted to know how can this ghost know that the soul doesn't belong the original body.
"Don't play with me. I can read your mind and- never mind, I will find out who you are. I was just being polite and wanted to listen about the truth from your mouth, but seeing how you are lying, I will find out the truth myself".
Saying this even before Zhavrik could react the ghost went past his body and came out.
Zhavrik did not know what this ghost did, but he knew that this ghost was powerful and mysterious, seeing the Ghost pass through body and seeing the Ghost stand there without uttering a word, seemingly thinking about something, Zhavrik started searching his ring for something to fight. As he was searching he heard a Loud laughter which scared him even more.
"Hahahhahahahahaha, so this is how the fate is. Ha ha ha to think this world is inside a book and I would end getting killed. Ha ha ha ha"
Hearing the ghost's words Zhavrik almost went nuts. 'how the fuck did he read all my memories so fast and who the fuck is this ghost. Isn't it already dead, what does it mean "getting killed". Damn this ghost might kill me if I don't do anything, I am in a fantasy world, inside one of the most gifted bodies, I can take on this ghost. Even if I die, I don't care much but I will definitely take this weird misty with me'
Thinking about killing this ghost he started preparing himself, he took out a knife and jumped at the ghost to kill it. But he just went straight through it and fell on the ground.
Seeing what Zhavrik did the ghost started laughing even more.
"Hahahahahhahaha man you are funny. You are "Max" right?. Max you truly are funny or you are just dumb. How can you jump on a ghost with mere knife without any magical power ?. Well I can understand your situation don't worry I won't harm you."
Still laughing like a Maniac the ghost looked at Max/Zhavrik like he was idiot. Max seeing this, couldn't help curse himself and the ghost.
After what seemed to be an eternity, the ghost finally stopped laughing. It's expression becoming more serious and said something that shattered Max's mind.
"Iam the real Zhavrik Thalorein, the youngest of the Thaloreins and the dragon Slayer blood inheritor"
