Chapter 2 - Cursed doll

His soul was drawn into a tunnel of light and waves of different spectrums of light intertwined his soul and he could see a wonderful miracle with his own eyes.

Different particles merged, atoms connected to form molecules, and then they formed cells and other components and were building an entity. Capillaries and blood vessels, bones and muscles, skin and hair all came together and created a new vessel that would house his soul.

"Oh my god..."

The young man was awestruck and fell silent for a moment.

This new body that was made was just like his previous body.

Wheat-colored skin with green eyes that had a shade of the sea, and his raven black hair with elongated cheeks, a smooth and well-shaped nose, and a small mole under his left eye, doubled his charm.

But this body was relatively little different, the difference was in his side wound. An old, lasting wound that had been with him since childhood reminded even as he grew up-but in this new body, it was gone. And that wound had given its place to a strange something.

The mark resembled two skeletal hands grasping a large scythe, with a skull perched atop its blade and a thick chain coiling around it.

"What does that mean...?!"

There were many doubts in his mind and he still did not know the answer to them, as soon as he wanted to ask that creature a question, he suddenly felt a strange energy that sucked his soul and pulled him into that body.

That body was absorbing his soul, but as soon as his soul got closer to the body, he could feel the pain and that pain increased. It is as if his soul is being torn to pieces.

It was like being thrown into a meat grinder. His soul fused with the new body, merging into one.

"Aaaaaahhhh.."

The man screamed in pain and his scream disappeared into the void, as if he had never screamed. When the soul and body became one, the man fainted from the pain.

Meanwhile, the space shattered and a vortex of energy pulled the man's body into it.

[Spirit and body synchronization was done.]

[Send the target to the starting point of the mission.]

[The portal opened.]

********

one hours later.

The sky was swallowed by darkness, with only the moon casting its pale glow. A worn-out street with long grasses that grew green on the corners and the right side of the street was covered by big trees and on the left side there was an abandoned building with two floors.

The body of a young man was lying unconscious next to the entrance of the building.

And next to that young man was a point of blue light the size of a ping pong ball.

That blue light tried to make strange movements and hit the young man's forehead, as if he wanted to wake him up.

Anyway, it seemed that the efforts of that shining ball had come to fruition, because the boy's eyelids moved a little and a frown appeared on his face. As he slowly woke, a familiar voice near his ear.

[Hey, Alex, wake up. Hurry up wake up .]

That voice belonged to the Night King of the Dead who was trying to wake up Alex.

Alex's eyes fluttered open, revealing a desolate and unfamiliar place.

"Hah, where is this?!"

As soon as he asked that question, the glowing ball flew towards him and a status window appeared in front of him.

[Host, you are on mission location.

The mission will start soon.]

[Mission Find the cursed doll and docile it. reward:???

Failure in the mission equals death.]

Seeing that status window, Alex realized where he was. This was the orphanage where he lived.

But it was very strange, he had gone to the orphanage some time ago and it was the same as before, a busy and lively place.

"This is so strange?!

I came here a month ago. How can everything change so much in a month?

It seems like more than ten years have passed!"

Alex, lost in his thoughts, was brought to his senses by the sound of that glowing ball.

[King of the Night of the Dead: Alex, please be careful, the mission will start soon.]

Alex was a little confused, but at this moment it was better not to be distracted, because he didn't know what happened and what was waiting for him. So he carefully went to the entrance door, a big iron door that was almost 2 meters high.

Alex took a look and there was no lock on the door, so he pushed the door open and with a little push, the door made a sound as it opened.

"Creaking.'' 

It seemed that the hinge of the door was a little rusty, that's why it was making such a sound.

Alex entered the yard. On the right side was the children's playground and on the left side was a small building where the staff rested.

Alex went to the main building and faced a big glass door with a big lock with an iron chain on it, and the only way to get inside the building was to break the glass, but this would make a lot of noise.

And Alex was a little hesitant about this, because from the moment he entered the yard, he felt that many eyes were watching him, ands made him a little afraid.

So he tried to find another way to enter the building.

He searched all the sides of the main building but did not find even an open window through which he could enter the building. The main building had only one entrance, that was the main entrance.

Suddenly he remembered something.

He had already heard that the building that belonged to the orphanage staff had a separate entrance to the main building, so Alex quickly went to that building.

When he reached the entrance, he noticed that the door of the building was open, so he entered there cautiously.

The inside of the building was completely dark, but thanks to that glowing ball, he could see inside the building and the darkness did not obstruct his vision.

A corridor with four rooms on both sides and a little ahead you reach two other corridor . So Alex cautiously started to look inside that building.
