TRANSMIGRATED AS A GHOST

Seeing that Lyra did not know much about the administrator, Marcus caught her up on what he knew as he had the most interactions with her out of all of them.

Though after he had caught her up with what he had already told Boreas, and Jaela. He went on to tell them something else that was highly pertinent and the main reason he was in such great contact with the administrator.

“To tell you the truth, Roxene was actually given to me by the administrator so that I could look after her here and raise her to be stronger. I am not sure what is going on in whatever world the administrator truly resides in, but it was too dangerous for Roxene to stay with her parents there, so she was sent here to grow stronger.” Marcus explained.

Though this time instead of Lyra, it was Boreas and Jaela who were confused, as they did not know who Roxene was.

Quickly picking up on this confusion, Marcus elaborated and said, “Roxene is my beast companion that I received form an egg in the Ocean Bluff temple. I was told she was planned to be given to the care of a person originally from Earth and that I just got lucky, but honestly that could have easily been a lie and she was put into my care on purpose. Oh, and I should mention that her parents are apparently on the same level as the administrator, and there is no doubt in my mind that she is the begin with the highest potential on Mirrion. Her powers are well beyond her level, and she contends with creatures that are even thirty levels higher than her.”

Once Marcus had finished explaining about Roxene, and his and the administrator’s connection to her, he waited to hear what the others had to say.

Of course, they all just sat there with contemplative expression while they digested everything they had just learned._.

They all now knew more about the administrator just from these few minutes of Marcus talking about her than any of them had learned since arriving on Mirrion.

Even Boreas after having been here around six hundred years did not know all that Marcus knew, as for the most part the administrator was pretty much hands off other than sending the occasional message to those she favored.

Unfortunately, even with all of the knowledge that Marcus had, it did not change much as just because they knew what the administrator was like and that she had big plans to shake up the world, they had no clue what they might be or when they might happen.

“Well, all we can do it keep going I suppose, and prepare as best as we can for whatever might be coming.” Boreas said.

In response all everyone else could do was sigh and nod. Hoping that their entire lives would not be thrown upside down.

“Now what about the adventurers guild? Should I tell them this as well?” Marcus asked Boreas.

He knew that in a couple of days he was going to be having a meeting with them so that they could ask him about the Doomsday Worm and also try to recruit him deeper into their fold.

After hearing Marcus’ question, Boreas sat there with a contemplative expression for a few minutes, before shaking his head, and saying, “No I believe you should keep quiet about how much contact you have had with the administrator. The guild may be good for the most part, but I cannot guarantee how they might act if they knew how much contact you have with the administrator or the connection your beast companion has.”

Taking Boreas’ advice Marcus nodded his head in agreement. He could think of plenty of drastic measures that might be taken against him and Roxene if the guild got scared enough and thought that they could use them both as bargaining chips against the administrator.

However, Jaela was opposed, and said, “I think we should tell them. They may be a bit forceful sometimes, and I do not personally like them all that much, but they do offer their protection to around a third of the world. There is no doubt they are the single strongest organization currently in power. If they make the proper preparations, it could prevent any number of tragedies.”

At this Boreas frowned, but he could see that Jaela was serious about her position and he did understand her point of view.

He had originally thrown his hat in with the guild because of their strength and the protection they offered. As well as the opportunities for growth that they presented.

“Very well, but I will tell them that I got this information from a message the administrator sent me after killing the Dread Burrower. I believe it will just cause more problems if we mention Marcus’ and Roxene’s connection to the administrator.” Boreas said with a stern gaze that offered no contention.

Shrugging her shoulders, Jaela accepted his methods and relaxed her posture as she leaned back against the couch she was sitting on.

“So, what now?” Lyra asked seeing that the serious conversation they were having had ended.

“I suppose we go back to what we were talking about before we got off topic. I believe Marcus told us about how he had fallen to the center of the world. I am actually a bit interested, what is it like down there?” Jaela said with a slight glint in her eyes.

Going back to their original topic about their start on Mirrion, Marcus told them about his time sitting at the center of the world, how he fell into despair, and nearly went crazy.

“Luckily I eventually realized how to utilize my float ability and made my way back to the surface where I appeared at the very northern edge of Borealia.”

“But what about the core, is it really just a molten mass?” Jaela said having hoped for something more fantastical.

Unfortunately, Marcus just shook his head and said, “Yeah, it was just a molten core, nothing special like a hidden area or something like that. Though I suppose there could be something hidden down there, but I could not see it. I mean it all just looked like a bright light for the most part.”

Once Marcus had finished up telling his immediate arrival on Mirrion, he moved about how he found Irene’s body, and inherited her form and will.

He continued on telling the highlights of his time on this new world until he caught up to where he was now, over two and a half years later.

“Wow, you certainly have lived quite the hectic life here. Even I did not get into as much trouble as you have in my fist few years here. It took me nearly four years to reach the level you are at when I first arrived, and I started off at level forty.” Boreas said with an impressed expression.

Marcus had fought harder and skirted death far more than most people on this world, and he had experienced unparalleled growth because if it.

The four of them then discussed Marcus’ life up till now for a bit more, going back to the topic of the blue demon he had seen, which not even Boreas or Jaela were certain about.

“I know only a bit about the demon world, but I have heard it is a far more savage place than ours. Strength is the absolute rule there and the strongest demons send their minions to this world to cause havoc and tempt people into making pacts for power that normally ultimately consumes them. I have fought back a number of demons in my time as some of them enjoy defiling forests, but I have not heard of a demon like the one you mentioned.” Jeal said, having the most knowledge on the topic of demons.

She went on to list all the different types she had faced in the past, but the only one that Marcus recognized was the shadow demon that he had encountered in his current mansion.

“Great now I have to worry about demons as well.” Boreas said with a frown on his face.

He had been gone for quite some time and it appeared that while for the most part Borealia had not changed, certain things had been going on in the shadows.

“Well, we can worry about demons later. They are typically slow to act as it takes them a lot of prep time to enter our world. Now it is Lyra’s turn to tell us about her life here.” Jaela said turning her gaze to Lyra who had been mostly quiet.

With the attention focused back on her, Lyra went on to tell them the highlights and major events of her life just as Marcus had done.

Though in comparison, her life had been pretty tame as she was not getting into life-or-death battle ever few months.

“And Marcus already told you about the war. Our experiences were not all that different since we were fighting together most of the time during the major battles, so I will not bore you with details you already know. After that I have just been doing my job and running my duchy, and I do not think you all care about the paperwork I have been doing or the meeting I have been going to.” Lyra said not wanting to go into her the specifics of her day-to-day life as a duchess.

Luckily everyone agreed, and next they turned towards Jaela, who unlike Marcus and Lyra, had centuries of experiences to talk about.
