I'm a Ghost in My Second Chance
A measly argument led to Finn's sudden death. At the moment where Finn was losing his consciousness, a golden light descended in his classroom and enveloped his mates. Merely ruling it out as divine judgement, Finn didn't realize that they were being summoned to another world. Before he could be summoned though, he died. But because of his strong desires and attachments, right before the summoning ended, he became a Ghost. Using his uniqueness, Finn used the summoning gate that connected the two worlds to travel to a world that has tasted the blood of gods. On his journey through space, he evolved into a higher version of his new race. [Successful. You have evolved.] [You have become a Great Phantom.] Finn obtained new abilities, survived a land packed with strong evolved creatures and continued to grow stronger. "I'm not an ordinary Ghost, I'm an evolved one!" Finn didn't slow down his grind, he only aimed higher. For the life he desired in this world of survival of the fittest, he needed to surpass the pinnacle of his existence!
Influence of Minds
Anatalia paid no attention to anything, but Finn.
The sound of the surrounding numb, and the world in her eyes dimm, only Finn's incapacitated body was what she could see.
As the owl retracted its hand causing, then stabbed Finn again, the world slowed down as Anatalia's eyes dripped with tears.
At that moment, she recalled her past.
When she got picked up by strangers; her hellish training; the heartwarming conversations with her siblings; the death of her siblings in her presence; multiple hopes of escaping dying; a mana beast saving her life; the moment she attained freedom; her journey to the western regions; eating with the beast.
These were the highlights of her life. She could help but wonder if she was a source of bad luck for the people around her.
She had an ability essence within her yet she barely understood how it worked.
If she hadn't decided to follow Finn, he would have had no reason to risk his life protecting her.
