Unalive - A New Life in Clay

In this mysterious and comedic novel, the main character is a teenage boy who finds himself reincarnated as a ceramic doll by a self-proclaimed "necromancer" in an unknown village in an unknown time and place. As a doll, he is unable to see, hear, or speak, but he is able to sense the spiritual presence of those around him. The boy is unaware of his new situation until the necromancer appears and boasts about her supposed greatness, despite her uselessness to society. With no other options for survival, the boy must find a way to sustain himself. As a non-living creature, he relies on a life source to survive. The necromancer cannot provide enough, so he must use the life source surrounding him. The life source is mainly derived from human emotions, scattered throughout civilization. The density of the source varies from place to place, and when it is too high, it can cause unusual events such as the creation of new identities, either physical or spiritual. These identities hold certain powers based on what they represent, and the usage of this outer source is known as magic. As the boy navigates through his new life as a doll, he must rely on his wits and his ability to sense the life source around him to survive each day. With a mysterious and comedic voice, this novel follows the boy's journey as he tries to make sense of his strange new existence and overcome the challenges that come his way.

2:Desperation and Discovery

Days passed, and Amara kept using me as her puppet. She made me do all sorts of chores, from sweeping the floor to washing her clothes.Overthrowned is easier than the tasks she gave me.However, I knew that I had to play it safe and not draw any attention to myself. I had to bide my time and learn as much as I could about this strange world before making any moves.

Amara was always muttering to herself, either about her research or her hatred towards the villagers who had shunned her for practicing necromancy. It was evident that she was not a good person, and I felt sorry for myself for being stuck with her.

As Amara carried on with her experiments, I paid close attention to her every move. I observed her rituals, memorized the incantations she used, and took note of the ingredients she used. However, I soon discovered that her recipes were constantly changing, and she seemed to be making things up as she went along.

I realized that trying to learn from her was my worst mistake, so I started to read her books instead.The being is enthusiastic to help even if it is not much.But no matter how much I searched, I could find no concrete evidence of necromancy. It was as if the world had forgotten about this ancient practice, and I could only find vague references to it in legends and folklore.

Despite this minor inconvenience, I continued to learn what I could, and I tried to use my spiritual senses to gather as much information as possible. After all, knowledge was the key to my freedom.

As I delved deeper into Amara's books, I discovered that she had an interest in other subjects as well. There were books about dating and love stories.For her I knew that finding her other half was an impossible dream.I should not let my company be exposed to these books.

But as time went by,the life sources surrounding start to decrease, I felt my energy slowly depleting and so does my friend too.I knew I had to do something about it.

I started to search for a stronger source of energy and discovered that keepsakes could provide the energy we needed. However, they were not enough to sustain us for long, and I knew that I had to find a more permanent solution.

As I searched for a solution to my energy problem, I noticed that Amara was starting to encounter financial problems. She could no longer afford to buy more food, and I knew that this would only worsen my energy problem.

I observed her closely and saw that she had enough food to last for a week, including the time she would starve to death. However, I sensed a change in her behavior. For the first time, she walked outside, unfortunately she brought me with her.The little friend followed.

As we left her home, I could sense her desperation. She was looking for ways to earn money, and I knew that this would not end well.

As we walked through the streets, Amara stopped at a crowded marketplace.She put me on a crate.

She began to make a show out of me, using me to perform tricks and tell fortunes. People gathered around, and Amara began to charge for the privilege of seeing me in action.

As the day went on, I noticed something strange happening. The more people gathered around to see me, the more energy I seemed to have. It was as if their life sources were feeding me, and I felt more alive than I had in a long time.

As my energy began to increase with the attention of the onlookers, I felt a sense of awakening within me. The being that had accompanied me on my journey began to stir, and I sensed a newfound intelligence and awareness within it.

"Thank you," it said, its voice still soft but more articulate than before. "I feel more alive now than I ever have before."

I was surprised to hear the being speak so clearly. It seemed that the energy from the onlookers had not only revitalized me, but it had also awakened something within the being.

"You can talk?" I asked, my energy pulsing with excitement.

"Yes," the being replied. "I have been growing in awareness since I first met you. But this energy, it has awakened something within me."

I felt a sense of pride and satisfaction. It seemed that my journey in the spiritual realm was not just about my own growth, but also about the growth of the being that accompanied me.

Despite the humiliation of being used as a spectacle, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the energy I was receiving. It was a temporary solution to our problem, but it was better than nothing.

Day after day,Amara get richer and we struggle more to seek every possible source.I need to do something about it.

But Amara never let me go outside alone, so I couldn't investigate anything on my own.Gradually,she had started to lock me in a box at night, and I could sense that she was becoming more and more obsessed with her research.

The situation was becoming more and more dangerous, and I knew that I had to find a way to escape from Amara's control before it was too late. I needed to find a permanent solution to my energy problem and break free from the curse of the doll body once and for all. With a sense of determination, I began to plan my escape, knowing that the road ahead would be difficult, but I was ready to face whatever challenges came my way.
