《Is it Reincarnation if I'm Still Dead?》Side Story: Greater Purpose
Advertisement
"I wonder... What path have you been set upon, Enbos?"
Takashi sits alone atop a hill, gazing at the invisible river of souls in the night sky. This evening has been an eventful one. He almost lost his son, his saviour turned out to be another Worldfarer, and he is now a part of their branch.
"We may be short on medical plants, but Hachirou didn't have to venture so close to human roads."
"Indeed, he brought back a rather suspicious character."
Silently but not unnoticed, Chiyoko walks up to her father's side.
"Father, are we not supposed to enter the Wastelands this year?"
"Of course we can't. Enbos would not survive the energies that still irradiate its soil."
"But this sudden change in plans will surely..."
"I've already informed Tsubame when she served our tea. Preparations are being made for the longer journey."
"I understand, you must have other reasons. I apologise for doubting you. But please tell me: why did you invite him into our clan? Even if he is from the same world as you father, surely some knowledge and a few supplies would suffice. Not even Hachirou intended on his joining."
"You are not wrong, Chiyoko. However, I feel our meeting is not a whimsical one. He will bring a great change to this world, and I believe it is our duty to guide him."
"... You worry of what he will become. A reincarnated and sentient undead. If he continues using that skill without abandon, then I can surely understand your decision."
"That is not my only intention. He has a strong will and a good heart. I do not mean to restrain him, but to help him."
"I'm dubious. Personally, I think we should finish him off, but I suppose he's not evil. Nevertheless, he will feel it soon and if he succumbs to it... I will end him."
"That is fine. I will not let it come to be."
Chiyoko returns to the village to prepare for resettlement. Takashi looks back to the heavens, trying to decipher their grand designs.

8 237Musings of a Hypocrite
Mortals are weird. They insisted in unity, as well as individualism. More often than not, they're shocked at truth and honesty, but not at falsehood and deceit. They asked questions with multiple answers, and provided answers that begged other questions. They made things to break, they destroyed things to study, they researched things to recreate. Humans, Elves, Beastmen. All of them. Within these contradictions, a miracle might manifest. But this tended to work with a trial and error methodology. Most mortals never got the happy ending. This diary is my journey alongside a few students of mine. In simple terms - they learn, they grow, they fight. They'll journey through centuries of conflict, from the physical to the educational. They'll experience the cruelty and benelovence of all living-kind. They'll experience the consequences of their choices and the blessings of their rewards. They will grow to become useful to me, or die trying like all the others. As for you? The god reading our lives like a book, sitting in your chair without a care in the world? I will show you, the farce that is known as 'God'.

Some are born to save life. Some damned to endure it. To those who dwell in the dark, gnashing their dagger teeth with hunger, life is for feeding on, and they've just discovered an endless feast. "There are those whose teeth are swords,whose fangs are knives,to devour the poor from off the earth,the needy from among mankind."-Proverbs 30:14
