A weird dream.

Right now, he is sitting in a chair inside the interrogation room.

"Tell me your name, scourge." The female knight, probably in charge of the group, enters the room and ask for his name. This is Jack's chance to come clean.

"No! I am not a scourge! I'm just a dead soul who wants to become an Einherjar! I don't know why are you doing this but I'm innocent." He didn't tell him that he absorb a scourge, thinking that if he tell her now, she will not believe him.

*sigh*

"I'm asking you what your name is and you tell me a bunch of lies now? Okay I've decided, tomorrow morning you will be transfer in the Fields of Punishment." Even though the female knight is the one in charge in the security of this mansion, she still doesn't have an authority to make a prisoner go to the Fields of Punishment, not until Queen Persephone said so.

"Wait! Please just give me a chance. I'm innocent you know. I can prove it to you. Right, you're asking my name right? My name is Jack Summers, a harmless dead soul." He suddenly remembers the torture that Kotaro went through. He doesn't want to experience that, now that his goal are almost there, a sudden problem rise up to prevent him in becoming alive again.

"Atleast you deserve to know who capture you, I'm valkyrie Sigrun, head of the security in Queen Persephone's mansion." Even though he reeks scourge stench, Sigrun can tell that he is saying the truth, which is weird.

'Is it possible that the scourge is controlling him? I need to inform this to our Queen so we can expedite this concern.' she thinks.

"For now, I will leave you in your cell. We will update you on what will happen to you. Guards! Go get him and put him in his cell." Two female guards now escort him in his cell.

His cell is not that dirty, its just like an asylum cell that instead of color white, it's color gray. The cell is not that spacious, the capacity of his cell is for one person only. Since it is very rare to have a prisoner in this mansion, he is the only one in the dungeon cell.

*sigh*

"Damnit! This kinda frustrating, so near yet so far. Should I tell them that I just absorb some scourge?" He thinks deeply on what should be done. For now he meditate at the corner of the cell.

Without realizing it, he fell asleep while meditating. A rare phenomenon since a dead soul won't get tired and doesn't need to sleep.

In his deep consciousness, he suddenly saw a figure of a woman who's brushing her hair in front of a mirror. A beautiful lady with white hair and black eyes full of cheerful look, dressed with black long dress.

"Your majesty, your bath is already prepared." Without knocking on the door, the maid enters in the lady's room and reminds her about her hot bath.

"Thank you, you may go now." She still didn't stand up even though the maid reminds her. The maid didn't want to argue in this lady and pay her respect through a slight bow and walks out in the room.

'Wow! She didn't look in the maid while she said that. A typical from a royalty. Speaking of which, what kind of dream is this?' While he still can talk, the lady can't hear him and when he touch something, his hands suddenly permeates in the objects.

'What a weird dream. This dream is very detailed, unlike my previous dreams. Maybe this is not a dream' He is very observant in this new experience and he realize that maybe this is his new skill Dream Seer that activated.

While he is still contemplating about what to do in his weird dream. The mirror in front of beautiful lady suddenly becomes static. The reflection becomes an image of a familiar old man that wears an old rag.

"Milady, good to see you again. It's been a long time since we've been met. I hope I didn't disturb your precious time." The old man greets while looking at the lady.

"You don't have to worry about that, as you can see I'm just combing my hair here. Now tell me Musha, how can I help you?" Jack couldn't believe that the receiving end of the lady is Professor Musha.

'Hehe this is interesting. It's a good thing that I killed Agares. Maybe because that scourge is a dream seer, that's why he found out that I sealed the Grim Reaper inside of me' He's conclusion is making sense on why Agares has a deep hatred in him. To think that the skeleton has a brother with a humanoid with four arms, he didn't want to imagine what there parents looks like.

"I want to recommend someone who has a great talent in becoming an Einherjar." Professor Musha tried to introduce Jack to this lady.

"To think that you Musha, a powerful magician has an eye to a person that has capable of impressing you. Tell me, what is the name of this individual?" The lady ask the old man with inquisitive look.

"The man's name is Jack Summers, milady. I can assure you, he's very promising." The lady somehow intrigued in this man. Based on the stories of the old man, this individual takes a couple of months to master the magic of Musha that it originally takes a life time to master it. No wonder Musha praise him well.

"It's not that I'm against in him becoming an Einherjar, if he has what it takes to become alive again, then good for him. Even though we need Einherjar so we can prepare in the upcoming Ragnarok based on Skuld's prophecy, this is not an excuse to produce an incompetent Einherjar." The lady has a point in this argument.

No matter how many foot soldiers you produce, if the enemy has a powerful hero, then the foot soldiers will die in vain. The best case scenario would be to produce heroes as many as they can without suffering the quality.

"But I'm not that hard on you. Since you help me before, I can consider him as a possible candidate in becoming an Einherjar." If this mysterious individual deserves to become an Einherjar, she will give him a chance in the trial no questions asked. It will also benefit them if they can produce this talent as an active force against the Ragnarok.

"I appreciate your kindness milady, Jack Summers must be close in climbing the Rapunzel's Thread. Soon, he will appear in Helheim." He informed Jack's possible progress to the beautiful lady.

After that, there conversation is finish and Professor Musha's image in the mirror is no more.

'If I'm going to use logic here, this lady is probably Queen Persephone. But the thing is, Professor Musha lied to me. He really knows Queen Persephone, what's the harm if I know that they know each other?' He treat Professor Musha as a friend but still he lied to him. Even though he lied, he can somehow tell that he really wants to help him. To the point that he willingly gives a recommendation for him.

While he's still considering of what to do when he meets the old man again. He saw the supposedly Queen Persephone was giving a careful thought in considering him as an candidate for the trial

"Based on his observation, Jack Summers has a great potential in being an Einherjar. He spends in Tartarus for many years and didn't cower by the passage of time. Not only that, to survive while encountering a lot of mabeasts. He has great luck in finding out that its possible for a dead soul to become stronger by simply consume the soul stone of others. If a normal dead soul is in his position, he might vanish in Tartarus without speck of existence." Giving him a high remarks, Jack was glad that the Queen was considering him in becoming an Einherjar.

Queen Persephone touch the mirror and something like ripples in the water shows in the mirror. The reflection suddenly show a familiar individual that he only met recently.

"Kotaro, I have a task for you. I want you to find Jack Summers and observe him if he's worthy in becoming an Einherjar. If he's capable, try to help him to become stronger and escort him in Fields of Elysium." Without waiting for him to speak up, she already give her orders to Kotaro.

"I hear and obey, Persephone-sama. What is he look like and where do I find him?" He was ready to comply as long as he has a proper information for this individual.

"Maybe a few months, he will appear in Fields of Asphodel. As far as I know, he is still climbing in the Rapunzel's Thread. As for his looks, you may contact Musha, he's the one who recommends him, after all." Queen Persephone said.

"I understand. I will finish this task as soon as possible, Persephone-sama." He said to the lady with full of respect.

"Before you leave, how was your wife Beatrice? Is she doing well?" The queen knows her subject's life. As much as possible, she wants to provide them a nice and cozy life here in the Fields of Elysium, so the Einherjar will comply to her willingly.

"Thank you for your concern, Persephone-sama. It is great news, a few months and she will deliver our very first twins. I hope you can bless our children to become a fine person." Kotaro was blessed at having a nice family in after life. He didn't imagine that after the ridiculous punishments in Fields of Punishment, he will find his happiness here.

After there conversation, everything inside the dimension suddenly crumbles. His whole body become static and in the blink of an eye, he wake up and he was sitting inside his cell.

"That was the past, I think. Since Kotaro already succeeded in teaching me in becoming an assassin, he must deliver the message that he already succeeded his task. If I just wait here, maybe the Queen will appear in front of me and let me out in this cell personally." Now that he knows his circumstances, he will just wait here to be released.

But that moment didn't come. The only ones that came for him are the guards that will be shifted to the one who's guarding him. The guards didn't spoke to him and just observe him.

'If the Queen won't look for me, might as well to look for her instead.' With a determined look, he will not give up in his goal to become alive again, even if he have to break in this dungeon.
