Astral Status (1)

" I ... was ... a ... monster? " Shiro asks the System for he was shocked to hear such truth from it. Not because of denial, but because he is confused about the statement since he never remembered having such monstrous features during his lifetime before.

During his confusion, Shiro begins to shout as he rejects the very fact about himself that is so preposterous for him to have in the first place.

" No, no, it can't be... "

" This obnoxious, outrageous... " He says while remembering what he experienced in his life before he died.

" How can I be a monster without possessing some monstrous features and abilities? " Shiro asks the System about it, as he wants to acquire more insight on what's going on, for he remembers clearly that he was totally a 'Human' when he was alive, thus in this world of death, he should've instead become an 'Astral Soul' rather than a Spirit.

Shiro still debates about it, still claiming based on what he experienced that he is a literal human when he's alive which the System only responds in silence and counters him, telling him back that the System Database's accuracy is just an absolute, it is always right and the System told there's only a 00,0001% chance that the System will be wrong.

Hearing that, Shiro then falls to the ground for he now cried as he remembered all of his sufferings and understands why the people back then hate him and treated him like a monster, not because he is branded like that, but...

Because he is a monster.

Thus, that is why he's an Astral Spirit right now in the Astral World, his Astral Form already tells everything, things that he has never known during his life were immediately shown to him in seconds just by looking at his current Astral self.

" I'm a monster.... " he says while looking at the nearby pond.

" So everything they say about me is true... "

" I ..., I am..., cursed. " Shiro cries while the System follows him in his back, probably waiting for him to finish his sorrow for all of the revelation.

While crying, Shiro looks at his hands, the hands of a monstrous form that is destined to wreak havoc upon the world of death. As he looks upon it, he then sees the System in front of him, as the interface shows a Menu, a Menu Section called the Astral Status Menu.

" What is this, System? " Shiro asks, still in a sorrowful mood.

< It's your Astral Status Menu, Astral Player Shiro... >

< This Section of the System Menu will show Astral Player Shiro's current status that will describe all of it in numerical detail. >

< Take a look, please. > The System says as Shiro looks at his Status and his current condition for the first time.

" So, you're saying that this is my Status, huh? " Shiro asks while looking at it.

" Huh??? " Shiro was so shocked to see such numbers which are so difficult for him to recognize since he is not formally educated in counting things since he was abandoned during his childhood, alienated by his people, thus making him uneducated during his lifetime.

" Arrggghhhh.... System... "

" Help...!!!! " Shiro immediately fainted after seeing the numbers as it disoriented his mind after he finally sees numbers for the first time in his life.

< The Astral Player has fainted after seeing the numbers and probably experiencing his Small Dyslexia Symptoms that he inherited from his life into his Astral Form. >

< Because of that, the Astral Player will be stunned for 50 minutes. >

As Shiro experienced his stun, the System then looks at him as it shows a sigh icon for it knows how problematic Shiro is.

< The Astral Player is very disoriented, the chance of Astral Player's survival is already below 25% percent because of this. >

< It seems a mere change to Astral Player's body is not enough. >

< I must also change and cure some of the problematic features that the Astral Player inherited from his lifetime. > The System explained for it then begins its things, as it begins to start another one of its processes that need to be performed in order for Shiro's survival.

< Astral Player's re-preparation process starts now... >

< During the process, I will make sure to make Astral Player more prepared in order to survive the Astral World. >

< Just like Mr. Hallowstone asked me to do after obtaining me. > the System says while replaying the records of its Main Directives.

< Directive Records: >

< Directive No.1 >

< " Orb, System,..., please... " >

< " Guard my grandson... " >

.....

< I will, I will guard Astral Player Shiro per your late directives, Mr. Hallowstone. >

< Preparing Astral Player's Teleportation inside the System now. > The System says as it transports Shiro inside the System Space as the System creates a Dimensional Curtain in order to shield Shiro from outside interferences in order to make the System process progresses smoothly.

...

< I hope the Astral Player is safe during this process. >

< Especially since this region of the Astral World is the most dangerous and chaotic of them all, for beginners. >

< System Scan... >

< Location: Hueco Desierto >

< Region Danger Level: 3 >

< The Danger Level of this Region is quite high, all of those who just died or are below level 30 are advised to flee from this region and find a Souls Region now for safety. >

While the System scans the place, it then scans a movement nearby as it begins to notice that something is coming near Shiro's direction.

< A Spirit? here? >

< This is bad, for the Astral Player. >
