Transmigrated as a Ghost

Hearing this Marcus' eyes went completely wide, since he was now sitting face to face with the mysterious being that ran this world.

To this point Marcus still had no idea what they wanted from this world, and more specifically from him.

Yet before Marcus could get over his shock, Roxene jumped out of his companion storage and hopped into the lap of the administrator who was leisurely sipping hot chocolate.

Roxene immediately knocked the administrator's hood back and began licking their face affectionately.

Looking at this, Marcus was stunned to see that the administrator just looked like a normal young girl with brown hair of around maybe the age of fifteen.

"Roxene, I know you are happy to see me, but I am here on business. I need to get something from Marcus."

Curbing her excitement, Roxene jumped down off of the administrator and took a seat next to Marcus while looking intently at the administrator.

Waving her hand again, Marcus felt the pressure that was holding him down disappear.

However, he was still at a loss as what to do now.

He had honestly not expected to meet the administrator out of the blue right here and now, but also to see that she was just a young girl.

And as if she could read his mind she said, "Oh, this is just my avatar that I use when moving around on this world. This is not what my actual body looks like."

Shaking his head, Marcus tried to get his thoughts and emotions back under control.

'Just one step at a time. Find out what they want first, and then I can see what other information I can get.'

Once his mind that was in turmoil from the sudden appearance of the administrator had calmed down a bit, Marcus said, "So, what business do you have with me?"

"Oh, I got a notification that you tried to appraise something that was not connected to this world's system. That should not be possible, so I did some investigation and found this."

The administrator then opening up her hand and revealed the eldritch monster that had escaped him and Tesia.

Except now it was shrunk down and completely immobilized, with what appeared to be an expression of terror on both of its grotesque faces.

"Yes, this little guy should not exist on this world or any of the ones that are adjacent. Unfortunately, I do not know how he got here, but I was hoping that you might, since you appraised it right?"

Confusion all over his face, Marcus had little to no clue what the administrator was going on about.

Still, he at least knew where this creature had come from, and figured that things would go much faster if he just showed her the grimoire he had taken off of Teivel.

Taking the horrid book out of his item box, Marcus did not dare touch it himself, and used his spectral arm to hold it aloft instead.

As soon as the book became visible, the administrator's eyes went sharp and her calm and collected demeanor vanished.

The grimoire then warped out of Marcus' spectral arm and into her hands.

She began looking over the book intently, flipping through each and everyone of the pages at a breakneck speed.

"Those bastards, how did they sneak something like this on to my world without my notice." The administrator said with fury in her voice.

It was quite obvious that she was very displeased to find this book here, and Marcus was glad that her anger was not directed at him.

"Is this the only one." The administrator asked Marcus while holding up the grimoire.

Nodding his head Marcus confirmed that he had only come across the one, and the administrator sighed before storing the book away.

"This is just great. This is just one of a set of five, and now I have to track the others down."

The administrator then grabbed her cup of hot chocolate from out of the air where it was floating beside her and took a big sip.

After that she looked towards Roxene and Marcus and said, "Well thanks for your time and handing that book over to me. I have a lot to do so I will be taking my leave now. It was good to see you again Roxene and it was nice to meet you in person for the first time Marcus."

Now that she had finished her business, the administrator got up and was about to leave when Marcus abruptly stood up and said, "Wait! I have a mountain of questions to ask you. Please can you not stay for just a little longer."

Stopping the administrator titled her head up as if she was thinking about what to do.

"I suppose that you helped me out by securing this grimoire. Without you I might never have realized that these things made it here. Very well, I will answer any three questions you have so long as I am able to."

Sitting back down, the administrator looked intently at Marcus waiting for him to ask his questions.

However, Marcus had not actually been expecting the administrator to listen to him, and now he had to rack his brain on what to ask.

With only three questions to ask he had to pick the right ones since this was probably the only chance he would get.

Unfortunately, Marcus had so many questions he wanted answers to, but he had only been given three possibilities.

'What the hell am I supposed to ask about?' 

Trying his best to come up with some questions Marcus spent a good three minutes thinking about it before the administrator said, "Remember I am in a hurry, so if you take too long I will just leave. I am only doing you a favor here because you did one for me."

Receiving this warning, Marcus sent his mind into overdrive, trying to pick out the correct question, and eventually settled on one of the ones that had been gnawing at him for a while.

"What is this world's purpose?"
