This is the story of a young man who died, losing everything he had while protecting someone. But instead of having eternal rest, his soul was kidnapped by a god for a competition in the world they controlled. There was a big problem when he obtained his new body, which made it very difficult for him to survive in this world, which was filled with both magic and creatures, both fantastic and nightmarish. However, there was something that severed his connection to the god and the competition, but he still had a long journey ahead of him.

The journey of Arusai

—I don't know what Usaki was thinking, I know he's a monster and all that, but it's obvious his body isn't made to eat meat —I said irritated while looking for something for Usaki to eat. 


—There's nothing —I said with a sigh—. I can't go further away, it would be very easy to get lost in this place. 


Defeated I turned around to go back the way I came, I was upset about going back with nothing for Usaki. My annoyances only calmed down when I saw Usaki and Shina in the distance, but there was something that didn't let me be at ease. For a while now all those small presences under me seemed to be following me, I knew there were many because my ability was at the maximum number of presences I could feel at once. 


—I see you didn't find anything —Shina said somewhat calmed to see I was fine. 


—Sadly, there were only trees, dry bushes, and small mounds of dirt —I mentioned disappointed in myself.
