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.

1:I feel empty,literally.

As I slowly regained consciousness, I felt disoriented and confused. There was no sense of rest or sleep, just a feeling of weightlessness and formlessness. I tried to move my arms and legs, but found that I couldn't control my body. Panic set in as I struggled to comprehend my situation. Was my body paralyzed? Was I completely out of control? A creeping sense of dread washed over me as I realized I was trapped and helpless.

But then I realized something even more unsettling: I wasn't breathing. It was a strange and disorienting sensation, like being half-dead and half-alive at the same time. I couldn't feel the rise and fall of my chest, and there was no air filling my lungs. It was as if my body had been suspended in time and space.

As I struggled to make sense of my situation, I felt a strange energy moving through my body. It wasn't physical, but it allowed me to sense my surroundings with my spiritual presence. I couldn't see anything, but I could tell that objects were there. It was like having a sixth sense, an awareness that went beyond the physical world.

Despite the fear and confusion, I felt a glimmer of hope and curiosity. I knew there was more to this world than what I could see or hear. I explored my spiritual senses, trying to make sense of this new reality.

Suddenly, I sensed a presence approaching. As the figure drew closer, I felt a sense of unease wash over me. It was a woman, and she exuded an aura of arrogance and superiority.

"Kneel before me, the greatest necromancer of all, lady Amara," she commanded, her voice full of self-importance. "You're my greatest creation, no, recreation! Your purpose in this world is to serve me."

As I heard Amara's command, I couldn't help but wonder if I was already dead. All the disorienting feelings I had experienced began to make sense. The sense of weightlessness and formlessness made me feel like I was floating in an endless void, while the inability to move my body left me feeling trapped and helpless. The absence of breathing left me feeling like I was suffocating, even though I knew I was still alive.

Despite the fear and confusion, I felt a glimmer of hope and curiosity. I knew there was more to this world than what I could see or hear. I explored my spiritual senses, trying to make sense of this new reality.

As Amara continued to boast about herself, I realized that somehow I was connected to her and that some of her energy was being transported to me. But it felt like nothing at all. It turned out that I was also absorbing the energy surrounding me, which meant that I might function well without her. I believed I could break the thin string connecting us, but I recognized the potential for unintended consequences. I must approach this situation with caution and seek to expand my understanding of everything before taking any action.

It was clear that Amara was not a worthy companion, but I needed to know more about everything. As I pondered my situation, I realized that this otherworldly realm held its own kind of beauty. Although it was terrifying and disorienting, it was also fascinating and full of wonder. I resolved to explore this new world and learn as much as I could about it, even if it meant serving Amara for the time being.

As I explored the spiritual realm, I sensed the presence of a small and delicate being. It communicated through its spiritual energy, but its thoughts and emotions were very basic.

As I approached, it seemed to be afraid of me, its energy pulsing with fear and uncertainty. I tried to project a sense of calm and serenity through my own spiritual energy, hoping it would ease its fear.

After a few moments, the being began to approach me cautiously. Its energy pulsed with wonder and curiosity, and I could sense that it wanted to communicate with me.

I reached out my spiritual energy towards the being, trying to establish a connection. Although it didn't have the ability to communicate in a conventional sense, I could sense that it could understand me on a basic level.

"I am here to learn," I said, projecting my thoughts towards the being. "Can you teach me about this realm?"

The being responded with a sense of curiosity and wonder, its energy pulsing with a desire to help.

Together, we explored the energy that flowed through everything in the spiritual realm. Although the being's awareness was limited, its knowledge of the realm was vast. It showed me how to control my own spiritual energy, how to shape the energy around me, and how to communicate with other beings in the realm.
