Death is only the Beginning Part 3

" Great Shaman, we have successfully executed the Graveboy... " the people said as they bring Shiro's body into the Great Shaman of the Region.

" Ah yes, the cursed boy descended from that Mad Preacher... " the Great Shaman said as he approached Shiro's corpse. As he approached Shiro, he then takes a brief look at his corpse which had many bruises thanks to the crowd beating him to death at that very moment.

*THUD*

The Great Shaman kicks Shiro's corpses as he cursingly mocks the dead Graveboy for being a Curse that made the people of this region, constantly die when fighting the monsters unlike other regions of Easterion that often produced many warriors that could even destroy the monster's Dungeons.

" Our region may have gotten the stroke of luck if it wasn't because of you and your family who takes the very luck from us in the first place, you Avatar of Death & Misfortunate!!! " the Great Shaman says as he then recounts about the prophecies that he received back then about the Hallowstone family and their members, especially Shiro that the prophecy foretold to be the bringer Child of Death and the bringer of Sorrows.

From the prophecy, it is foretold that the child (Shiro) must be killed during his thirteen years old, in order for the people to kill the very misfortunate force that will be assembled within him. After Shiro was killed in that state (the thirteen years old state), the misfortunate force will be destroyed and the Region of the Golden Land will be returned of its fortune by the god of fortune, and its people will also receive a Golden Gifts from the gods of old.

By killing Shiro, the cursed descendant of the mad preacher, the priest of the new gods, the Golden Sands Region people believed that with the eradication or the cleansing of Shiro's family and the rest of the new gods' evangelists in the Region, the old gods will welcome them back and support them with their fullest.

As the people recount the prophecy in full faith and happiness, they then begin to drag Shiro's corpse into a Coffin, covered in Talismans and Seals as they put the corpse inside it and carry it into the boat where they sailed it and fire the very ship and the coffin in order for the misfortunate curse become dust and gets swallowed into the end of the sea, thus ending the Carrier of the Curse's influence over the land.

" Now that the sea had swallowed the Misfortune Carrier, we should celebrate for after this our lands that have been misfortunately plagued by the dead warriors that hunt the monsters will prosper again as our land will return back into it's Golden State, returned once more into the 'Golden Land'. " the Great Shaman says as the whole people cheered while Shiro's ship burns and it's dust and ashes was swallowed by the sea.

Did they drown me in the deepest sea, in order for cursed garbage like me to sink into the abyssal depths of the ocean?

Well......

Wait what is happening to....

I can't think, my body was suddenly being pulled down quickly as it slides to the bottom with no end, but after a few hours it ended and during that moment too, the voices begin to be heard again, I can now also move my body that somehow feels different, as if my body gets lighter after I was beaten back then.

As I move my body, I didn't feel the same anymore, as if this body was not the body that I used to know and use since birth, it is different, this is not my body, what happened? what am I in right now?

Someone please tell me and show me what happened!!!!!!!!!

.....

*Light Comes into Shiro's eyes.*

Light....

As he sees the glimpse of light, the light begins to shine brighter as Shiro begins to get close to it as now Shiro even entered the light and after he entered it, things will change forever for him.

< Astral Player had successfully entered the [Astral Realm] >

< Awakening the Astral Player begins in... >

" GASP!!!!!! " Shiro awakens as he now awake in the Desert.

As he wakes up, Shiro looks around and sees the desert, where he can see that the sands are white-grey, the sands were purely clean and also, and it seems he was in the night inside this unknown desert.

" Dessert? " Shiro asks while he suddenly hears another beep.

" The beeping sound, it comes again!!! " Shiro wakes up with his new body that has a round ball white egg head with his face inside it, covered by the shadows, and also he has a little toddler body that has dark grey skin, that looks like a Black Sand.

As he sees his skin, he then sees a Lake nearby in the nearby Oasis around him, as he goes there he sees his new looks and was shocked.

" What happened? How could this..? "

*BEEP*

" Huh? " Shiro was shocked as he suddenly sees some kind of a Digital Dashboard with the title of <[Status Window]>.
