Death of the source soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happens after the source soul is dead? Does the Otherworlder take over the body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White asked the more important question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It replied, confirming one of his worst fears:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fear of thinking someone was human, when in truth their soul had already been corrupted, and all that remained was an Otherworlder wearing human skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not the first to be sent to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It said, and White’s brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wasn’t the first... then why was it still here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You deceived them all away, like you tried to deceive me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It worked on some...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I’ve fused with more than a thousand souls now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t believe that. Not up to a thousand people practice this in my world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLAAANK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a faint reverberation echoed through the chains as the humungous body shook lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn’t possibly think only your world is capable of Otherworld Dream... do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It asked, and the words froze on White’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were different realities, then there would be different worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Otherworld Dream manual had been found by humanity in an ancient ruin, but did that mean only humans had access to it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What race had placed the manual there in the first place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that confusion cleared, he was confronted with a far more unsettling realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have fused with thousands, yet you’re still here. Then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White said, and in the next moment, raised his head in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice responded, confirming his fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All were corrupted.
