A/N: Thank you for reading this novel, I truly appreciate it. Especially you Rustam, thank you for supporting and giving some power stone for this novel I made on a whim. Xd

The Black Ball pulsed repeatedly before it rippled like water and moved like a slime.
Ughh... I feel my body slammed into a dozen bricks...
As I began to have clarity a familiar ding
[Ding! Mission "Leave the Void" Complete]
[Reward: Ability "Control"]
My focus immediately fired up, let's check it out.
I began by "Controlling" my body, at first it was heavy but by putting more focus on it I was slowly levitating. From another perspective I look like a large black ball ominously floating in the air above the crash sight.
Looking at my surroundings, the ground is entirely a mess, dirt splattered everywhere covered in Black liquid like thing. It won't be long before anyone will take a look.
Let's get out of here before someone comes here.
I took a random direction before silently floating above. Still, seeing this place in first person feels unreal. The Tall Palm like trees, the spinning sunflowers, and the most recognizable pattern of all, the checkerboard grass.
You know, in those system novels I usually read, the first thing the MC will do is say "status" to check their stats. Since I was in a rush back then I solely focused on escaping that damned place. It won't hurt to try?

...Void Spirit? What the heck is that!? Am I not human anymore!!?
...Right... I'm already dead, so it makes sense that I am now some sort of spirit or soul. But what does the percentage mean?
[The Percentage is the transformation progress of becoming from Spirit to Void Spirit due to the absorption of Void Matter]
Alrighty... then... is that bad?
[Complete Void Spirits usually lacks the traits of the normal spirits that being... Emotion, Mind, Empathy, Awareness, Memory, Creativity, and many others depending on the type of soul]
So... it's bad?
[Affirmative]
"Shit..." I was beginning to panic as I breath in and out of my non-existent lungs, but thankfully the Ability Calmness quickly put my mind working. If not for this ability, I would have lost my mind a while now.
Then I look towards my status which has a BIG exclamation mark in bold red.
[Status: Soul Decay (!)
Part of your soul's traits have already been rotted, your soul is currently exposed without a vessel, accelerating your Decay further. It's best if you find a proper vessel to take control to prevent more decay]
Reading the system text has given me even more stress ... A Vessel... Where can I find a vessel...!?
As I was stressing to the point where my ability was almost gonna activate itself, when I saw something moving on the ground.
It's a small brown squirrel sneaking in the bush... A Critter.
...
After a big crash sound was heard in Green Hills he critters afraid it was the Badniks again to trap them inside those robots for energy, they immediately hide on bushes, the trees, on waterfalls in hope they would never be trapped again. But after a minute where no further noise was heard, they began to peek on what was actually happening, after more time had passed some critters began to feel safe and steps right out in the open.
The brown squirrel is one of those critters, but still cautiously stepped out, after seeing there was not a single Badniks seen... he calmed down... then.
Something is entering his eyes. before he could react he was already in the ground as the Thing is sticking to his face, he tried to open his mouth to scream but it only made things worse. Seeing a large opening the Thing quickly went inside his throat, the burning heat in his lungs begging to breath and his eyes burning shredding tears of blood, he tried to move his hands but couldn't muster a strength.
By the time he can process, his body is already inside this thing, only his limbs sticking out. Then the light of life in his eyes finally dimmed, he is dead and his soul devoured... but what he didn't know, fortunately or unfortunately is that he will be one of the few victims who is lucky enough to be "sparred" eternal torture in the future.

A/N: I will be very busy since I had a lot to catch up on my tasks... so... sorry if you are waiting for future chapters. I will still try to write more chapters when I have some free time and I'm bored Xd. But then again like with my other works, I doubt I could write them.
