Arthur a shut in who had pulled an all nighter and just finished the First Book of LoTM woke up screaming he was all alone in the house he still lived in with his parents who were currently working even though it was a weekend
He often gets Visions about the Future sometimes while he sleeps sometimes even while awake but no one believes him this day he had one as well they are usually vague so much so he can only understand they're meaning after the propheciesed event had happened today he saw a Vision about himself as a Ghost
But Arthur quickly composed himself he was still a little panicked but he knew not all of his Visions come true if he figures out the events that needed to happen for the Vision to take place he could even avoid it although sometimes his trying to avoid the results of his Visions only lead him to them The Vision this time seemed distant he was a ghost after all so he wasn't in imminent danger at least
Arthur Got up and went to heat up some food as he did he thought "in that dream I was barely conscious surrounded by some Thick Fog I was already a ghost but it still felt like i was dying how did I end up a ghost? I could feel it my body was not made out of flesh it felt like my very soul was being split it definitely wasn't an ordinary dream..."
But he couldn't finish his thoughts as the moment he turned the Stove on he heard a loud BOOM! that's all he heard before he saw what remained of his body from a third person Perspective
before he could take in the sight he felt himself being surrounded by thick Grey Fog wrapping thightly around him as if not intending on ever letting go
still rattled by the Brief but intense pain he experienced in his dying moments he barely realised parts of his "body" his new Ghostly one were flickering between existing and disappearing he felt a part of his soul being ripped out as he was still looking at the floor he noticed something
Although somewhat obscured by the Grey Fog he saw His Ghostly body still had a Shadow he inexplicably felt a wave of relief as the pain started to subside then he fell unconscious
He had no dreams seemingly too tired to try processing any until with a sudden burst of Clarity he saw a Vision about a Knight confidently leading a group of young warriors although he seemed to be just as young as them Arthur felt as if he was accompanying them they were fighting strange powerful Creatures each more terrifying then the last in a place that looked like something straight out of a Nightmare he briefly saw they're search for seven Shards that were keys to open a Lock to the Crimson Spire made out of Seven Heads
Eventually they managed to gather all of them and when the lock opened An Ancient Evil Sun Shattered breaking the huge Crimson Spire it felt as if the sky itself had fallen plunging the world into eternal Darkness in that darkness he felt alone more then ever before as The Knight had already disappeared alongside those who had followed him yet he himself remains
After his Vision ended his burst of Clarity did too when he Awakened it felt like a lot of time had passed he was exhausted, very sleepy and Hungry too not to mention thirsty
he had already forgotten the Vision but he paid no mind to these things Arthur tried to open his eyes and try to see where he was only to realise no matter how much he closed and opened them he couldn't see!
Just as he was thinking he was in some sort of Purgatory before he could start panicking he heard the sound of Waves hitting stone he tried to convince himself he was still alive and the reason he saw nothing was because he was looking at the Dark Sky that was without Stars due to light pollution the Coldness, Hunger and Thirst he felt seemed to reaffirm his thoughts before he recalled the Vision he had the realisation hit him
this place was probably from the vision he saw and he knew that the place he saw couldn't possibly be real because he read about it... The forgotten Shore without having the time to deny the thought and dismiss his vision as a weird dream he heard something other then the Waves turning his head he saw undeniable proff he had transmigrated his eyes somewhat used to the lack of light saw the glowing eyes of a Nightmare Creature battling another one he couldn't see they seemed to be about 30 meters away from him
Arthur was relieved he wasn't in some purgatory or hell but he was still in danger! Afraid they might discover him he stood still and kept quiet
it seemed to be the middle of the night although it was hard to tell in the Forgotten Shores after mere minutes that felt like hours possibly due to the two sighs he had held back in that time to not be found out the Nightmare Creature with Glowing eyes seemed to have just won against the other as his eyes got more used to the light he saw a still squirming Ugly Tentacle looking monster in The Bloody Jaws of the monster with Glowing eyes
perhaps because of how tired, stressed and Hungry he was he couldn't help but lampoon in his mind "with such an ugly face not even a mother could love you got lucky that it at least looks apetizing"
Despite barely clinging to life the Tentacle monster as if sensing that someone was mocking it looked straight at Arthur and glared
Arthurs body shuddered but he still dared to think "w-what are you looking at you O-Octopus wannabe! If you wanna go I will turn you into takoyaki!" Arthur was bluffing he didn't even know how to make takoyaki
After some time having calmed down he thought to himself "cold, naked, alone, Hungry, Exhausted, Thirsty too with no explanation to boot just who brought me here!?" Left with no answer all he wanted to do was sleep and hope he woke up in his bed
But he didn't do that because he knew this place was real he couldn't escape it just by sleeping right now he was probably relatively safe being in the palm of a statue still above the Dark Sea so he started pondering on how he ended up in this situation
"I probably died due to a gass leak since the explosion happened when I turned the stove on" sighing again he continued musing the cause of his death "with my mind still focused on the Dream I had I didn't even realise the smell was off tsk! If I didn't have that dream about Dying I wouldn't have died in the first place!"
He sighed and started Lamenting his undeleated history on his devices his family just what would they think of him if they saw it?! Femboys, F*t*s, Godzilla having an affair with Optimus Prime, and much more incriminating evidence to display the depth of his Degeneracy After resigning himself to his completely deserved atrocious fate he said in a whisper
"recalling my past life i somehow feel like an old man reminiscing about the old days..." Arthur sighed again exhausted "No surely I'm not It hasn't even been a Day for me I'm still young!"
Avoiding the topic of the possibility of his past atrocities being brought to light Arthur thought "but... How did I end up here? The Grey Fog? I definitely died but I'm still alive there shouldn't be such a thing in Shadow Slave defying the Law of Death isn't something just any strange Fog can do... Unless this is a crossover of sorts Is CW trying to take over my body?!"
Despite Not having any understanding of how he transmigrated he was convinced he had no significant part in it after all in the World of Shadow Slave he was a dormant beast without even a soul core and in LoTM he could barely be counted as a half a Sequence 9 how could he defy the Law of death when the Gods couldn't?
Before going to sleep he decided to pray to The Fool if Klein who had Become The Lord of Mysteries by the end of the First Book responded to him then he could tell who was behind his transmission and he wouldn't have to worry about some Ancient Con Artist taking over his body he would also know if this is a crossover of sorts
Arthur put his right hand on the left part of his chest and sincerely started to pray "The Fool who Dose not Belong to This Era" he abruptly stoped and his eyes widened because he instantly felt it... This was his true Name an Anchor to his Existence
