Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

-----

Once at the schoolyard, we saw Emily and Alma running around rapidly as much as they could, it seemed that they were indeed taking the warmup part seriously.

Meanwhile, with Sofia, we moved to an emptier area behind the school building, near the farm where they kept chicken for their eggs.

I don't know why they did that, but it was like a recreational thing for the students, especially the kids, they loved the chickens.

At the same time I also trained with Arthur and the rest of my family, yes I split myself using my Ego privilege, it was very useful. Nobody could really notice until they suddenly realize I was in two faraway places at the same time, highly unlikely as all the students were concentrated on warming up.

"Okay so first let's check your Dream Spirit again, can you summon it, Sofia?" Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

"Yeah I can… I learned it was very easy. He also likes… playing around by floating and bumping on me gently."

"Oh so he's conscious then?"

"Y-yeah, kind of? He's nothing like my previous Dream Weapon…"

"Nice, let's see then!"

She quickly touched her chest and then imbued her powers into herself, with a bright golden and silver flash, a small, floating heart-shaped machine appeared.

A Mechanical Heart.

It was silver colored, with gold in the middle, and it had two tiny blue eyes.

"How interesting…"

I quickly decided to check Sofia's Status and see if it specified anything regarding this creature's existence.

Oh, she changed quite a lot compared to the Status I saw at Day 1!

That Dungeon about her past, and everything we did really changed her quite a lot yesterday.

She has definitely improved and is constantly improving as a person a bit more too.

"Okay so I've checked it a bit and…" I said. "I think its name is Golden Sentinel's Mechanical Heart."

"Golden… Sentinel?" she wondered. "How odd… So my Automata is really gone for good, huh? I… I ended doing this… He died for me, and I ended…"

"Sofia," I calmed her down. "Don't blame yourself for this, alright? It is already in the past… Let's move forward. You're safe, everyone's safe… your own Dream Weapon took decisions, certain decisions to make you happy. But they weren't the right ones, nor were they really… correct either. It's different how they thought compared to us humans. And that wasn't your fault at the end."

"Uuh…" Sofia remained in silence for a bit, looking at her mechanical heart floating in midair. "You think so?"

"I mean, yeah… we have to believe that at the very minimum if we want to move forward, right?" I asked. "So for now, let's move forward. We're trying several things with your new Dream Weapon… or Spirit, whatever it is."

"Okay…" she nodded. "Fine, if you insist so much I guess… I have to try my best at least."

"Right! Nice, that's the spirit," I agreed immediately to her words. "Now, try imbuing energy into it."

"Okay…"

FLASH!

She tried doing just that, as I saw some dream energy rushing out of her hands and into the heart. The heart shone brighter and brighter, as if it was about to do something.

"…"

"…"

But then nothing happened.

"Okay I guess that'll not work," I nodded. "How about its durability?"

"I don't know if it has a lot of durability…" said Sofia, looking a bit nervous.

"We can never not know!" I said.

We tried fighting it but the little thing was sent away with a little push from Sofia.

So its not defensive at all either.

"Okay, how about attacking?" I asked. "Attack these skeletons I'll summon!"

I summoned a few dozen skeletons, which the little heart seemed a bit afraid of.

"Come on Mechanical Heart, crush them! You're made fo steel right?"

"…!"

The mechanical heart rushed towards the first skeleton, hitting its ribcage with all its strength and then…

THUD!

It fell into the ground, barely a tiny scratch on the skeleton's ribs, but no cracks or large visible damage either…

"So that's… okay, definitely not an attack type, at least not physical?" I wondered.

"Hmm, my little heart, what can you do?"

Sofia sighed, as she fell to her knees while hugging the little heart she grabbed from the ground.

The little heart shivered lightly, as if happy to be grabbed.

"Back then you did something awesome but… I guess you can only do it with a lot of friends?"

Sofia glanced at her Mechanical Heart.

"…"

It remained in silence, glancing back at her.

It was a bit hopeless, yeah, this little guy just didn't want to do a single thing.

"Okay so it's not Support, Defensive, or Attack…" I said. "It's Special type then, it has a unique ability nobody else has that trigger with certain, unique conditions…"

"Hmm, and what conditions could those be? To be with friends? That'll not help in a tournament…" sighed Sofia.

"Okay but do you truly need friends for it to be used?" I wondered. "Maybe you could try… Right! You could try fusing with it maybe…"

"Fusing with it? But he already merges into my chest, right?" Sofia wondered.

"Hmm, so it won't work either?" I wondered. "I'm out of ideas then…"

"…"

The heart floated in midair, glancing at Sofia.

It was as if it was trying to communicate something to her, but I just couldn't tell what.

"What's wrong? Do you want to say something?"

Sofia was confused, but suddenly, the heart began shining brightly as it moved towards something.

And then, a golden light encompassed that something…

FLAAASH!

"W-Wait, what?! So you could do that?"

I see…

So this is what it can do, huh?

That's very interesting.
