Transmigrated as a Ghost

After having undergone a staggering transformation, Alyna looked down at her hands and body, utterly astonished.

She had actually forgotten what she used to look like since she had been a shadowy wraith with only glowing eyes as distinct features.

Now however, her form was no longer wreathed in shadows, but instead appeared human.

Her skin was certainly paler than it had been when she was alive, and while she could not see it herself, her hair and eyes were different colors. But she now appeared mostly as she had been before.

She had a short slender body that made her look to be in her late teens or earlier twenties.

Like Marcus she had purple eyes, but her hair that was mostly the same color as his ended in black and white tips that extend all the way down to her waist.

Of course, she had not become human, but instead was transformed into a spirit of light and darkness. Still a substantial upgrade to how she had been before.

Along with Alyna, Daniel, Cassius, Soren, and Vira, were shocked as well.

For as long as they had known her none of them had seen what Alyna looked like before she had become a dread wraith.

However, despite how surprised they were to see her transformation, Daniel, Cassius, and Soren swiftly turned away, since Alyna form was unclothed.

While she was a dread wraith, she had no need for clothing since her form had only a vaguely humanoid shape, now though her spirit form looked almost completely human.

"You might want to put this on." Marcus said, handing over one of his spare outfits that he kept in his item box for when he needed to use his from as Irene.

Seeing the clothes in his hands and her pale skin that was no longer shadowy, Alyna finally realized that she was naked and the modesty she had long since lost after becoming a dread wraith came back in an instant.

Hastily she took the clothes that Marcus was offering her, but her hands simply passed through them.

Even though she was visible, her form was still ethereal, and the cloths were not.

At the very least this made Alyna realize that there was a quicker way to hide herself and she made her form completely invisible.

"Here this should make it easier for you to put on." Marcus said, making the clothing he was holding intangible as well.

For everyone else it seemed that the clothing had simply disappeared, but Alyna could still see them and now that she could touch them quickly put them on.

Once she was dressed, she reappeared and began thoroughly looking at her new form. Tears soon began falling down her face, as several emotions burst out of the dam she had been holding up for centuries.

For the first time in so long she no longer felt the pain of the negative emotions that had plagued her for nearly as long as she could remember.

"How is this possible? What exactly did you do?" Daniel asked, looking at Marcus with a conflicted expression. He was not sure if Marcus was a miracle worker or some kind of monstrous freak.

"Remember that I told you that I was once only a ghost. I became a spirit as well from receiving power from an outside source, so I figured that I might be able to do the same for Alyna. The problem was that her race kept her bound her from the negative emotions she felt and the violent death she had experienced. That meant if I could change her race she would be freed. Hence I used my powers as a great spirit to give her my blessings and then transform her into a spirit just as I had been. I am sure that you have heard that in some rare instances people that have become ghost have managed to transform into spirits." Marcus said casually.

Though while he was trying to keep his cool, he was internally freaking out.

He had succeed in what he was attempting, but things had gone better or worse from a certain perspective than what he had been planning.

Marcus intended to only give Alyna the standard blessing, but when he began using his spiritual energy to turn Alyna into a true spirit, he had inadvertently given her a superior blessing and made her his subordinate.

'What the hell just happened?! The results are what I wanted, but I never planned to make her my subordinate or give her such a powerful blessing. Heck, I did not know I could even give higher tier blessings than the standard ones!' Marcus thought as he looked at his and Alyna's statuses.

Giving the blessings allowed Marcus to look at the recipient's status and he was able to see that along with becoming a superior spirit of light and darkness, Alyna now had the title 'Great Spirit's Adjutant.'

His own status had changed a bit with his spirit stat having gone down by two thousand points in order to give Alyna the powerful blessing she had received. He also now had a target to use his summon spirits race ability and could bring his new subordinate to his side at any time.

'Alyna's stats have changed dramatically as well, all of them having gone up a fair amount. Plus, her race abilities are mostly different now that she is a spirit. A lot of them being lower tier versions of my own.' Marcus thought, engrossed in looking over what had changed in Alyna and his statuses.

"Marcus are you oaky? You have just been standing their looking ahead of you in a daze for a while now." Mrazivý said, shaking him on the shoulder.

Raising his head and looking around, he noticed that everyone was now staring at him. Evidently the initial shock of Alyna's transformation had somewhat worn off and everyone was now looking towards him for answers.

"You said that in rare instances that people that have become ghost can become spirits, and we have naturally heard this rumor as well, but we thought it impossible for Alyna. She was no normal ghost but a dread wraith. It should not have been possible for her to become a spirit as far as we knew." Daniel said, a confounded expression on his face.

"Yes, I imagine that any other dread wraith likely would not have been able to survive the process. Alyna was not a mindless killing machine that had given into her dark emotions and violent unjust death. She retained her sanity and wished to be freed. While I was changing her into a spirit, she did not fight back at all. Although, things did go a bit differently than I expected." Marcus said.

Everyone then asked him to elaborate and he explained that Alyna had actually become his subordinate.

"So that is why I now feel an unconscious connection to you." Alyna said, staring intently at Marcus.

A moment later she appeared right by his side. As easily as Marcus could summon her, she could warp to his side whenever she wanted. So long as he did not block the connection.

"Does this mean you could turn other ghost into spirits as well and name them your subordinates?" Mrazivý asked.

"Probably, as long as they are willing. I suppose that this is just one of the ways in which to use the power of a great spirit. Though, I do have to give up some of the points from my spirit stat to confer the blessings." Marcus explained.

He was still not wholly sure about the process and had just been following his instincts and trying to recreate the event that had originally turned him into a great spirit.

Naturally he was unable to bestow nearly as much power as he had received, but he was able to imitate it on a smaller scale.

"well we can just chalk it up to a success even if we are not exactly sure what happened." Marcus said, laughing it off.

"Still, are you oaky with this Alyna? You can probably never go back to being human now."

"Yes, I am more than happy with the outcome. I no longer feel like there is a cacophony of voices in my head anymore calling for me to inflict the same pain I endured on others. Even though I am not human, I at least I no longer look or feel like a monster." Alyna said, a bright smile on her face.

She then turned towards Marcus and moved to embrace him.

However, on her first attempt, she passed right through him since he was currently in his solid form, and Alyna while visible did not know how to become tangible.

Seeing that she was upset that she could not touch him Marcus made himself ethereal as well and allowed her to receive some comfort by being able to touch another individual.

Yet as Alyna cried into Marcus's shoulder, relived that she was no longer a dread wraith, he could feel the envious and hopeful stares coming from the other undead.
