C2 To Be A Transmigrator

"Hmm. Fine then. I would have told you even if you never asked. My Master named me Alexandra, I'm a Soul Reaper. Originally, Soul Reapers are like what people call the 'Grim Reapers', but, unlike the 'Grim Reapers who harvests souls and take them for judgement, we Soul Reapers are responsible for leading souls to the reincarnation cycle, and once every few thousand years, a lucky soul would be given the chance to not only reincarnate, but even transmigrate. But transmigrations are actually quite rare, so rare that only my Grand-master and a few other oldies in the system have actually experienced or seen it, perhaps when they were in their prime times...".

Ciara was shocked. She only expected him to tell her who he was, perhaps even how he died, but from his story, he was a Soul Reaper? Like them Grim Reapers? Although shocked for a while, Ciara quickly pulled herself together and asked, "Why are you telling me all this when I only asked about you? What's with the whole history and stuff?".

The pale man, Alexandra, could only laugh at her reaction, but before he could respond, he saw someone walking towards her corpse and pointed out, "Hold on and watch what he's going to do".

Ciara, confused, turned around and saw a scene that shocked her translucent soul to the core. It was Maximus Miller, the only Maximus Miller in M City! He was number one in the chain of eligible bachelors in M city and the main man of the Miller Enterprise. She had only seen him on posters and of course, in Maria's room. Maria practically idolized him, yet, even with the William's power, they were no where near Maximus, not to mention the Miller family.

But what shocked her the most was Mr. Most Eligible Bachelor was actually holding her corpse in his arms and screaming at his guards like crazy to get the ambulance over. "What are you doing there?! Get her to the hospital or I'll use your lives in exchange for hers!".

His eyes and face were blood-red and veins could be clearly seen to want to burst out of his head, but either way, he still held Ciara's corpse gently in his embrace, even the passers-by were confused.

"I...I'm sorry Young Master...She's gone..." A guard who was closest to him said before keeping a safe distance between them to avoid the young master's wrath.

"Useless! All of you are useless!" Maximus yelled, obviously going crazy as it seems.

Watching the showdown, Ciara was shocked, clearly not expecting the 'Eligible Bachelor' who everyone adored to be going crazy with her corpse in his arms.

"What's wrong with him? I've never met him before, so how could he definitely react this way?" Ciara searched her memory but still couldn't remember anything about him.

"Are you sure you don't remember?" Alexandra asked, to which she shook her head in response to. "Then let's put it behind us and ignore them. After all, he's already at the brick of going insane. I'll give him two days to live, max. So..."

"Wait, what? He's going to die? Why? How? He's the 'Eligible Bachelor'! He's the CEO and Chairman of the Miller Enterprise! Come on, don't pull my leg Alexandra" She said, clearly not believing his words, but Alexandra simply shook his head and explained, "Well, you see, from the moment that young man appeared, his mental state seemed to have collapsed completely and he's currently in denial and heart wrecking state for the second time but it seemed this time, he's going down the hill, and in a fast pace at that".

"You...How can you say that about him? Do you know who he is? How can he suffer from denial and all when he's...". Before she could complete her sentence, she heard the guards scream out Maximus' name and just as she turned to take a look, she saw them carrying the unconscious Maximus into a car and her corpse in the other car before speeding off in the direction of M City hospital. "You were serious...".

"Of course I was" Alexandra replied proudly. "After all, I am a Soul Reaper and I shall not let Master down. But don't worry about all that for now, I'm here for a different matter and haven't even had the chance to explain myself".

Seeing her pay attention to him and obediently but temporarily discarded Maximus' matter, he explained. "Well, you see, I'll be frank with you. My Master sent me on a mission to accompany you on a quest. Remember when I told you transmigration has been lost for thousand of years? Well, it turned out during those thousand years, a soul had been transmigrating into different worlds with a Soul Reaper as an accompanist. Unfortunately, that soul and Soul Reaper had been destroyed the moment they failed a mission. According to my Master, only one soul and Soul Reaper can travel around the Universe together at a time to avoid collision between souls on missions which could ruin the said mission, leading to the destruction of their souls. So, now the post is free, my Master was assigned to get a soul and one of his disciples, me, to go on this journey. But fist, you'll have to pass a test first".

Ciara felt like a bucket of cold water was dumped on her. "What? Firstly, Maximus is going to die and it's somehow my fault. Then, we are both going to travel the Universe for...what exactly? And what test are you talking about?".

Alexandra could only sigh and grab her pale and translucent figure out of the street to a quieter place, apparently, he was sick of people walking through him!

Once in a quieter place, Alexandra let go of her hand before proceeding, "Well, for your first question, Maximus is definitely going to die because the strings in his life has completely gone undone. Based on his identity and how rich his parents could be, they may put him on life support but that can only preserve him for the maximum of forty-eight hours. Autopsy should read between death by heart attack to shock. All in all, he's gone in this timeline". He paused to see how Ciara would react to the news and not surprisingly, she was stunned and looked sad. But that didn't bother him, after all, he was already a goner.

"Now, for the main theme. Our mission. Well, it's more of 'your' mission, but I'll have to accompany you as a ghost so...yeah, our mission. For us to travel around the Universe into different timelines and places, you'll have to pass your test. And that test is for us to go to another timeline-the past-and for you to pass your test, you must excel. Let me explain, in each timeline, you will assume the identity of someone who died a bitter death and would be taken back to their past, live a life for them, but also fulfil their greatest desires after death. Most of them regret being pushed over while some regret not being able to see people clearly, but everyone has their own different regrets after death. That's why some people's greatest desire is revenge, while some hope for their oppressors face regret. But for you now, going back as yourself, what's your greatest desire?"

It took a while for Ciara to process all the information, it seemed it was way harder dead than alive, but she was never the one to give up.

"My greatest desire after death? Humph, knowing fully well that it's the mother-daughter duo, the thing I want the most is revenge. I want them to pay for everything I've been through in the Williams villa, and that Elvis Williams...He treated me as shit throughout my stay in the Williams house. As much as I hate to admit it, he's still my father. The worst I can do to him is to make him regret the way he treated me".

Although Ciara still thought she was in some sort of dream, but as it seemed, although surreal, she already believed it.

"Then, do you accept to go on this mission or will you rather go through the normal process after death?" Alexandra asked seriously.

"I would like to go on the mission with you, Soul Reaper".

"Then we shall merge souls before being sent to the past. In the future, you wouldn't need to see me. Once our souls are merged, our minds become one. Two souls in one body. You must know, although I'll be accompanying you, I can only give you suggestions, ideas and vocal help. I will live in you. You'll be given the gift to help you in your missions, something people like you are given when you transmigrate; the gift of photographic memory, the gift of technology, and the gift of the ancient martial arts.". Alexandra spoke like he was chanting some spells, baffling Ciara as she stared at him in awe.

'Martial arts? Technology? Photographic memory?! What the...'

Before she could say a word, she saw Alexandra move closer to her till there was no space left between them. Suddenly, she felt a weird sensation, almost at the same time she felt herself being pulled backwards till everything turned pitch black.
