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

Chapter 1550: Memory Fragments 3



-----

I was so damn wrong about everything I knew. I chose to be ignorant, to not know much about the world and all of its things.

I ended up dying pathetically, but… thanks to those wishes I had when I died, I somehow became a ghost, forgetting who I was before and thinking I had reincarnated into a ghost.

It wasn't the case, though, and it only became more and more confusing from there…

Now that I have finally reclaimed my life and grown so strong, I'm in another whole world, one so similar to my original one, where I was able to relive so many things.

I even turned back into the child I once was, Fran, and lived with Nyx and the rest as a girl, gaining new childhood memories and new friends.

And in this world, I even fell in love with a wonderful girl, Alma… which even now, I can't stop thinking about.

My other half is fighting outside, for this world… for these people.

Unlike before, when I had no agency to do anything for myself or my future.

It'll be different this time. I will change this world's future all on my own…

And not let it fall into despair and darkness by things that it could not control, by forces beyond these people's power.

In a way… this world, and its people, feel a lot like me.

Who I was, what I suffered, they had suffered the same thing, constantly overcome by forces they could do nothing about.

The only one that could delay the inevitable, the girl I replaced, sacrificed her very being, her name, the memories of her from everyone else.

Everything about her, just so she could save this world, and with each loop, the world and its people paid the price.

Until now, the last loop, where I, who was once a victim, now had the power to change everything.

And I will.

I will evolve and gather this last fragment.

"Why are you always like this?! I wanted to go to the restaurant already. I'm hungry, you know?!"

"But sister, I need to go buy the book… Mom, can't we? It'll just take a little minute."

"It's fine. Don't be so rude with your sister, Catlyn."

"But she's always doing whatever she wants! She doesn't even work. Isn't she just using your money to buy that?"

"I'm using my savings! A-And I'll find a job soon! It has only been a few months… Why won't you stop being so aggressive towards me?! You're such a stupid gorilla all the time!"

"W-What?! Stop calling me that! I hate you, damn…!"

"Eek!"

There they were… that dumb black-haired, glasses-wearing woman was me.

And the bigger, taller girl with long dark brown hair made into a ponytail was my sister.

She was huge. She was always pretty big… hence why I called her a gorilla sometimes.

I was only two years older than she was.

"Come on, girls, don't fight…! You're making a scene in the middle of the streets!"

My mother was there too, my dear mother…

She looked a lot like me, but older, with slightly gray hair and blue eyes.

Her pale skin was slightly tanned this time around the year. She liked going to the beach a lot in summer, and I hated that.

"Ugh, I hate you!"

And then I ran inside the library, yeah…

I looked everywhere for what I wanted, but as I was inside, I ended up crying a little.

I was honestly sad with my life at that point, and I had considered ending it all a few times.

I had finally agreed to go with my mom and my sister outside for a change, as they were worried about my health.

But in the end, I ruined it… or well, my sister ruined it too… we both did.

My dear mother was only trying to lift my spirits, to make me feel a little happier.

After I cried in the library, I felt slightly bad. I wanted to apologize to my mother and my sister.

So I tried to look for a gift for them. For my mother, I found an old romance book, those she likes to read before bed.

And then for my sister… I knew she liked girly stuff more than she looked like.

I was trying to find what she liked, a manga series about Magical Girls and Heart-Shaped crystals, Lovely Dream Heart Dasie, or something.

"There it is… Ahh, it took a while to find it, huh? Would she like this one…?"

I was a little confused if she would like it or not, but…

When I walked forward and grabbed the book, I suddenly saw it.

The entire bookshelf trembled, and so did the rest.

An earthquake suddenly hit the entire city.

"E-Eh? Ahh!"

I ended up tripping into the floor from the books falling from the bookshelf.

I saw the only other person inside the bookstore, the worker, running away without even looking back.

I tried to quickly stand up, to run for my life.

"Ahh! S-Sister!"

I saw my sister and my mother talking to one another as they saw the tremor.

And then, at that moment, they quickly glanced back, running inside as the bookshelves collapsed one by one.

I ran towards her but…

I ended up falling again.

And a mountain of books fell over my entire body.

I felt my little bones breaking, and… something, some rib, pierced something really important.

I lost my breath, and… while in agony, a book hit my head hard, really hard.

"FRAN!"

"No!"

I heard my sister and my mother's cries, before…

Before I died.

That's it.

That's everything there is to it.

I lived a pathetic life and…

I died a pathetic death.

As I looked at my own body buried in thousands of books, crushed by heavy wooden bookshelves, I looked at my mother and my sister.

...

It's not over yet?

Weird, if I died, shouldn't the memories end there?

What's going on?
