WARNING: 'Emotions' and emotions are two entirely different things. Please try not to get confused. Further details will be explained in the future.

I am two, but they are not me.

They were once friends who died and reincarnated into this savage world as one of it weakest races of monsters, a Skeleton and a Low Spirit, one of them was famous at their school for his philosophical way of thinking, said:

“You have the features of a soul, and a I have the features of the dead, the soulless. So, theoretically if we combined we should became a living human, or at least something akin to it, some sort of a humanoid monster.”

That suggestion came when they were at the depth of despair, when they realized how weak and pitiful they were. Hunted by humans due to them being ‘evil’, hunted by monsters because they were weak…

So following that suggestion they tried combing countless times, but they failed spectacularly; every time they tried, the spirit passes through the skeleton like it was nothing but air, or should I say the reverse is true.

But then a revelation came to the Spirit.

“What we try is giving form to a human, but that’s is impossible because you and I have different views of a human, or what makes a human being. Moreover even if we succeed who will become the consensus? Or will ‘we’ become someone with a split personality disorder?”

The Skeleton completely agreed and then he added, while nodding his skull slightly.

“I guess you are right, and our ‘Idea’ is too weak to give form.”

After a few moments of silence and pondering the Low Spirit said.

“We should not combine only our bodies, but our consensus and ideals too.”

And the Skeleton added.

“And we should think of a unified shell.”

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

And then they asked each other about the gender, the height, the eyes, the face… and every part of the body and its behavior.

… but they forgot about an inseparable part of humans, emotions, among other things.

Thinking of the body and thinking of merging the two part of it and their consensus, they tried to merge once again, and they became me.

They didn’t merge for something as pitiful and lowly as acceptance by humans, they weren’t even accepted in their class, they did it to survive.

I am a vagabond, a wanderer, I have been one since hundred of years; I am immortal.

“We” forgot about “my” lifespan and aging process. “I’ m” not a God, I am a different type of Humans, a subspecies even, “We” forgot many things about me; I am an incomplete human.

… I should be a human, how can I be Immortal?

To answer such a justifiable question I should explain what are Monsters, and what is Mana.

Firstly, Monsters are basically masses of mystical energy and Emotions that gained physical form or merged with one. A good example for both cases would be “We”, they once were humans but they died in an accident, their confusion and their will, Emotions, to survive transformed them into an abnormality a ‘Wandering Soul’, which then was kicked out of their world due to them existing even though they shouldn’t. After arriving at this world, which counts Wandering Spirits as a form of energy spiritual energy, one of them merged with a skeleton of someone and the other became a floating mass of energy, a Low Spirit. All this talk is to simply say that Monsters can live forever with the right Physical Form, Strong Emotions and enough Mystical Energy, which brings us to the next point, Mana.

Mana is one of three Mystical Energies (Spiritual energy or Astral, Mana and Ard), and it is what enables humans and other intelligent species to use Magic, the power to bend reality. Inside every living being a Mana Well, and “we” gave me an endless one, coupled with the fact that they ‘thought’ of a near indestructible body without the concept of aging and emotions and their strong will to survive, makes me the perfect immortal.

What got the lack of emotions to do with me being Immortal?

Simply, I don’t feel Boredom, among other things.

I already explained Mana, so let’s get the other two out of the way.

Ard is the mystical energy that originates from earth movement and natural disasters, controlling it means controlling earth, or more specifically the Four Basic Elements. It is closely resembles Mana, some experts even say that it is Mana outsides someone’s Mana Well, but it’s not entirely true, nor it is entirely right. You see, Mana Well comes from Earth’s Blessing the living beings.

And finally Spiritual energy, it is a ridiculously simple concept, but it is hard to control, because to use it someone has to have a very strong Emotions. Spiritual Energy is Spirit’s energy, Mana.

Confused yet? I’ll help you.

Ard→Mana→Spiritual Energy.

They are like me; one thing, but different things.

Controlling Mana equals Magic, controlling Ard equals Sorcery, controlling Astral Energy equals Spiritualism, easy right?
