My peaceful afterlife

Those were my last memories before appearing here, in the monster continent. Also known as Africa.

I was so full of myself after the Djinn completed the contract, not even realizing that you become just a puppet for them to place on a stage.

I sigh and look up to the stars, which is remarkedly clear enough to see them, due to no sources of pollution to cover the skies. watching the small specks of light above me I let my thoughts drift around.

The stars are pretty. I dont know any constellations so I cant point to a cluster and tell you what it is and any mythology behind it. But I like looking at them to clear my mind.

It's easy to be at peace here, monsters leave me be and I can wander aimlessly to pass the days.

The aggressive monsters that attack me are weak, since the smarter ones tend to avoid me. Nothing to bother me, Even Humans dont exist in masses here to interfere with my newfound comfort.

Afterall society here is dead and it never receives visitors or mercenaries. Even Heroes almost never set foot in this place unless it is a publicity stunt.

That's all I could ask for, peace and freedom.

I wander and fight occasional monsters and stare at the sky.

I pass my time by memorizing where I have been and plan to set foot across the entirety of Africa.

After that I will see how I'm feeling and

Oh, right.

I have no soul at the moment.

As far as I know I have been fine without one.

My emotions are clear, thoughts are happening in my head.

I am conscious, I have critical thinking skills.

My motor functions of my body are fine, Do I have any need to hunt down Lucius?

For now I see no need for any change to my daily life.

I continue to wander for seven more days, pausing to watch the stars each time.

And I notice something, my skin. It's discolored now and sliding off of me.

I see so this really is my afterlife.

I am zombie.

It is hard to feel shock at this revelation, since I was never tired from my wandering. Never stopping to try eat.

Be that as it may, as a zombie I should eventually decay to the point where I lose a lot of my fighting power, my muscles.

At that point maybe I might just turn into a skeleton. I will start to practice moving my magic power so I am not completely useless bones then if that is the case.

What spells or tricks should I practice first, I wonder to myself as I shuffle forward.

I just start rotating my magic power through all my limbs and pushing it out my body to the surface of it, letting its blue glow stretch across it all.

Later after being fluent enough to move it freely around my self, I forced the magic to change it's shape, First with something basic, but hard to master.

A sphere, I wanted mine to be perfectly round. And since I have to mould my magic power into that shape this seems like the best way to spend my time while the sun is out and wait for the stars.
