Transmigrated as a Ghost

Having learned from Daniel where he might find a font of death, Marcus attempted to get him to tell him about where he might possibly fine a ghost king.

But instead of getting the answer he wanted, Marcus was told that it was his turn to offer up some information.

"Very well, the special dungeon known as Realization of Self Perfection is located within Borealia. There is a very long ravine that at the bottom opens up into a series of crystal caverns. Deep inside you will find that entrance to the special dungeon."

Nodding his head, Daniel seemed to at least be familiar with the place that Marcus had described and pulled out a map of Borealia, before asking Marcus for a more specific location of where the entrance was.

"I believe that right around here is where the ravine's widest part is. We would always enter through there. But I will save more detailed direction for after you tell me about the possible ghost king you know about."

Sighing, Daniel had been hoping to hear more details about the special dungeon, but knowing its general location was enough for now and thanks to Alyna confirming it, he knew that Marcus was speaking the truth.

"Again, I would like to state that I am not sure you will find a ghost king here, but it is the most likely place that I know of." Daniel said before telling Marcus more.

"The place you may find a ghost king is not on the continent that you hail from and is located within the Kingdom of Houten which is located on the continent to the west of Borealia. Though it is on the far side, and I do not believe that your home has any relationship with them." Daniel said while pulling out another map.

This one was of the continent to the west of Borealia and it was Marcus' first time seeing any map of the continent he had heard about a number of times.

It was in overall size around thirty percent larger than the one that Borealia was a part of and had many more nations. Some of which were actually pretty small.

'There, a bit above the middle on the far western side of the continent.' Marcus thought, spotting where Houten was on the map.

Overall, it was not the largest nation, but it was a respectable size. Being maybe a quarter as large as Borealia.

Most of the area was thickly forested from Marcus could see on the map, but to the north of it a large area that appeared to be a city was excluded from the countries borders and was labeled 'Old Houten Capital'.

However, even as he examined the map closely Marcus found that the area had not been taken by some other nation, but was rather uninhabited now. Leading Marcus to believe that this might be where the ghost king Daniel thought might exist was.

"Looks like you keyed in on it pretty quickly. Yes, where the Houten capital used to be is now a nest of undead creatures. This happened around three hundred years ago when the kingdom to the north invaded. In a last desperate attempt to prevent the capital city from falling the king at the time used some powerful necromantic magic to turn himself and his closest follower into undead creatures. This allowed him to successfully repulse the invaders, but everyone who was unable to flee the city quickly was turned into an undead creature. None of the detail are really clear and my information network was not nearly as widespread at the time so I have no clue what actually happened to trigger this though. All I know now is that the city is swarming with undead and it is the mostly likely place I can think of that you might find a ghost king. Now I have held up my end of the deal." Daniels aid, looking at Marcus expectantly.

"Sure, I can give you more detailed directions, but it honestly might be better for me to just show Alyna how to get there." Marcus suggested.

Puzzled, Daniel was not sure exactly what Marcus was getting at until he explained it.

"You remember how I slipped in and out of here with my Dark Portal unique skill. I have one set up at the entrance to the ravine. I can only take Alyna with me, but I can personally show her the way. It should not take me too long."

"That should be fine. If you are up for it Alyna?" Daniel responded.

"That would be fine by me!" Alyna answered immediately. Excitement in her tone.

Of course before Marcus left he turned towards Mrazivý for her opinion.

"Go ahead. I will hold things down here."

With Mrazivý's agreement, Marcus opened up a Dark Portal and warped along with Alyna back to Borealia.

In an instant they were no longer inside the underground complex but standing in front of a long ravine that went on for miles.

Looking around, Alyna blinked her eyes rapidly several times as she got used to the light of the sun.

Tears began streaming down her eyes as she looked around at the landscape around her.

For the first time in nearly four hundred years she was finally able to see the outside not through a screen but in person with her own eyes.

"I had forgotten how beautiful the world was. What the warmth of the sun felt like." Alyna said, basking in her surroundings.

Seeing her reaction to being out in the open world again Marcus could not help but smile. While it had not even been close to as long as Alyna had endured, he knew what ti was like to be trapped in one place and feel hopelessness.

"I understand how you must feel, but we are not on a sight seeing trip. I will being going pretty fast, so try to keep up and remember the way. You will need to be the one to lead all of your companions next time." Marcus said, before jumping into the ravine.
