CT-27 is not simply a city.
It is a living fortress of the dead.
Suspended between dimensions, shaped by ancient laws, and governed by the very cycle of reincarnation, CT-27 is the final checkpoint for souls transitioning between worlds. Shinigami live here—not as grim, emotionless reapers, but as citizens, guardians, and soldiers serving the will of cosmic balance.
Its territory is divided into three massive concentric regions, each heavily fortified and each guarded by nine squads.
Ct-27 is devided in 3 areas. The outer area, the Door area and Zone area. This three areas are protected by 9 squads each.
For example Squad 0 to 8 lives and protect Zone area. 9 to 18 protect Door area. 19 to 27 protect the outer zone.
Arjit right now being escorted through the Door area. He is moving towards the Zone area where 0 to 8 is.
The first circle of CT-27 is the Outer Area, also known as The Frontier Ring or simply Sector 27. It is the furthest from the Reincarnation Gate and the most chaotic.
Its purpose is simple:
To stop anything from reaching the Door Area.
The Outer Area is where the after-realms bleed into CT-27. Wild souls, corrupted spirits, half-formed ghosts, and lost beasts stray into this ring before being captured or destroyed. This is why Squads 19 to 27 are known as The Iron Wall.
They are not elites like Squad 0, but they are hardened veterans—brutal, straightforward, and specialized in combat rather than diplomacy.
This is where Arjit currently is being escorted.
The Door Area is more peaceful than the Outer Area but far more controlled. It is the beating administrative center of shinigami society—a place where rules tighten, protocols increase, and everything is organized with precision.
It is called the Door Area because:
Every path from both outer and inner worlds crosses through here.
The Door Area is designed like an immaculate city within walls, divided into nine major districts, each governed by its corresponding squad.
Arjit is surrounded by two escorts—slender shinigami with white masks and black ceremonial armor. They guide him through towering gates etched with glowing kanji.
As they enter District 12, Arjit hears the ringing of spiritual weapons in the distance. The escorts explain:
> "The Door Area is the backbone of CT-27. No soul enters the Reincarnation Zone without passing through us."
They walk past floating lanterns and quiet alleyways leading to training fields.
District 14 greets them with heat—massive furnaces roar, runes flare, hammers crash against soul-steel.
Arjit sees a reaper forging a scythe whose blade is translucent like liquid moonlight.
District 15 feels serene.
White trees grow here, their leaves shifting between silver and blue.
A few ethereal diplomats walk with flowing robes.
District 18, however, feels tense.
The air thickens.
Spiritual pressure rises.
This is the border of the inner sanctum.
A gate stands in front of him—ten times larger than the previous ones.
A vertical eye symbol is etched at its center.
One escort speaks:
> "Beyond this point lies the Zone Area. The place where Squad 0 stands. The heart of rebirth."
The gate slowly opens.
As he entered the zone area...
[Successful signing in... Zone area of CT-27]
[Reward: 9 Unawakened supreme grade Saunik weapons]
Kai stopped in his path.
"Supreme grade. Those are made with the strongest creature bones in history. Even in the stimulation I got only 1. But now I have 9 of them. Then what about Donga and Haku? Oh! I should leave them with my new clones. I want to see if human can weild the sword of a shinigami. It also seems death cab give system in this world. So there is a chance if my other clones died and goes through reincarnation cycle..? I should experiment with one later."
The Zone Area is awe-inspiring.
It is the smallest, but most important region of CT-27.
It protects the Reincarnation Cycle Gate—the heart of all life and rebirth in this dimension.
Compared to the rigid structure of the Door Area or the chaos of the Outer Area, the Zone Area feels like stepping into a divine sanctuary.
Everything is built symmetrically, in perfect circles.
The air is purer.
The ground is smooth white stone.
Spirit-water flows through canals like glowing rivers.
Floating gardens drift in the air, filled with luminous flowers that bloom only in spiritual realms.
The Zone Area feels like a cross between a shrine, a palace, and a cosmic machine.
Floating pillars hum with energy.
Sky-bridges connect high towers.
Long pagodas stretch across the horizon.
Every wall is inscribed with ancient runes.
Every building glows softly.
Zone 0 — The Reincarnation Cycle Gate
This is the holy center.
A colossal ring-shaped structure stands ten stories tall, swirling with golden, silver, and deep-blue soul-threads. The ring rotates, each layer moving in opposite directions, creating a hypnotic pattern.
Inside the ring is a swirling vortex of light.
This gate channels souls back into new lives.
The power radiating from it feels warm yet overwhelmingly ancient.
At its base, Squad 0 stands guard—silent, masked, wearing robes embroidered with fate sigils. Their presence alone is enough to choke even veteran shinigami.
No one crosses them.
Squad 0 is revered like gods.
Kai was escorted to the meeting hall.
The massive double doors of the Meeting Hall groaned open, releasing a wave of cold, ancient air. Kai stepped inside behind Arbano Kochki, feeling the weight of twenty-seven pairs of eyes fall on him like sharpened blades.
The hall itself was circular, built like a colosseum with tiered seating carved from obsidian stone. Blue spirit-lamps floated overhead, illuminating the faces of the 27 captains—each robe carrying a different squad insignia, each presence radiating a distinct spiritual rhythm. He knows these faces will retire soon.
He was presented before the 27 captains.
The man who escorted him to here, Arbano Kochki is from division 0 seat 5. Arbano walked forward with firm, disciplined steps. Despite being only the fifth seat of Division 0, his posture carried authority here—his ash-white cloak brushing the polished floor.
He knelt on one knee.
"Head Captain," Arbano said, voice steady, " Sir it was this man. When we reach there, the place became cracked only by soul pressure."
The head captain, opened his eyes a bit, " What?"
Others were shocked too.
The 5th seat Arbano continued, " We also checked. He have a core in his body. But no Saunik Astra is connected with that. And it seems he made it without anyone's help."
Shock repeat again through the crowd. But no one said anything.
The head captain, asked, " Who are you stranger? How do you create your core? Are you a new soul?"
Kai said, " Yes. I am a new soul. My name is Kai."
The head captain, "Hmm! Good. You got potential. Do you wish our military?"
Kai, "If I join what will I get? And what will I have to do?"
Kai said it cause he knew head captain is a curious and cautious man. In his stimulation he just agreed. Although he got scouted but he never got the opportunity to go in 0 division. And 0 division guard the reincarnation cycle. And right now it's his goal.
The head captain smirked, "You will get more powerful, Nobel status in future! You need to guard a very special thing."
Kai, "Ok I agree!"
The head captain nods, "I head captain appoint you as 10th seat of my division. 5th seat Arbano escort this boy to his quarter. Before that give him soul channel manual. And one Saunik Astra."

After Kai went out of the room, the room broke into voices.
2st captain whistled, " A individual soul appear today and that's with a captain's soul pressure. I wonder what else we will get to see?"
7th captain laughed, " Interesting individual indeed."
11th captain said, "It seems we old bones are the end of our era. New era is coming. Strong monsters greeting us day by day."
23rd squad frowned, "But you know. Whenever strong people come to this world. Strong disaster also come. It seems the soul world once again will see the destruction like in the past. If that day we didn't cut of that part of dimension.."
Everyone became quite at that.
24th captain said, "How can I forget. Due to my true Zutsugakuto of time ability I saw it in memories. That man stopped time and space together for a minute. Even I can't do it. It seems that man was a god to me that day."
Oth captain, the captain commander speak in cold voice, "Enough. We promised we won't talk about that again. We are doing everything for that man too."
Everyone became silent again.
††
5th seat Arbano bowed and goes with Kai. Kai was taken to the treasure room. The guards open the door.
Arbano signalled Kai to enter the room. Kai entered the room and instantly his eyes fall on the golden Saunik Astra. This is only highest level Saunik Astra avilable in the world right now.
But no one truly know it. Cause no one except the wielder can know about a supreme Saunik Astra. Kai goes and grab it without any word.
Next he got escorted to his room. The room was a normal room. It have a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom.
Kai looked at Arbano and bowed a little, "5th seat sir Arbano. Do you know where I can get food?"
Arbano was shocked for a sec then laughed, "I am truly sorry. I forgot that you are new one. I will take you to canteen area. And no need to call me 5th seat. Just call me by my name."
Kai nodded and followed him.
††
Night time; Kai laid on his new bed. He is thinking about his next move. But then suddenly he vanished.
‡
A few minutes ago: In the real world;
Arjit looked at time. It is been just a few minutes when Kai goes in the game world. But now it's already night time there.
So he thought it is the best time to call him here. No one will know.
So he open the game panel. He didn't use it till now. He goes in MARKET option. He saw the price of Return Ticket. 1000,0000.
He didn't have 1.
So he just canceled his Charectaristic Avater.
[Miracle!]
[Non-existent Achivement occurred]
[You get 10 Billion points.]
Arjit just whistled.
He opened the Achivement.
[Achivement: Return without a ticket]
[Reward: 10 Billion points.]
Kai appeared before him.
Arjit look in his eyes.
"Kai! You also know like me that we have only one year. But the problem is that we don't have any clue. What is going on here? What will happen? Why it will happen? That's why I need you guys to be more powerful. Right now you are the most senior..!"
Arjit took a pause and look at him.
Then he continued...
"That's why I plan to send next one now. Not just next one. I am planning to send 5 of them. You died before we knew it. But before it. We need to use the wisdom you have."
Arjit look at Kai. Kai also nods.
The plan is simple. First Arjit will practice this soul cultivation method of shinigamies. Cause if a soul can use it, probably a human will be use it. Maybe something unexpected will happen.
But there is one thing. He fear what will happen if he couldn't do it. So plan changed.
He will create a avatar. And it will do it in human state. Next he will try to connect with Donga or Haku or the new Supreme Saunik Astra.
So Arjit immediately create a new Avatar.
Another Arjit appear. Arjit named it Raj.
Kai taught Raj the method of soul cultivation of shinigamies. Arjit also listen well.
It's nothing more than...
Step1: breath near your lungs burst.
Step 2: you will feel many types of scents. You need to take everything.
Step3: You will see soul particles. Devour as much as you can.
Step 4: create a core with soul particales.
Step5: continue..
But it wasn't so easy. Maybe because of the Kai got it easily. But Raj have difficulties with grasping the essence.
While Raj was practicing, Arjit goes in the game Market.
Many types of things was there. But he upgraded his skill.
[Charectaristic Avater is upgraded to Second level.]
[100k points used.]
[You get sub skill: MIND HUB]
[Charectaristic Avater is upgraded to Third level.]

[TEMPLATE INHERITANCE: YOU CAN INHERIT THE CHARACTER TEMPLATE OF YOUR CHARECTARSITIC AVATERS. YOU CAN GIVE OTHERS THIS TEMPLATES TOO.]
Arjit laughed.
"Guys! We have got jackpot."
Kai and Raj both looked at him. They were asking question through their eyes.
What is the Jackpot?
Arjit tried to explain. But next second he thought maybe it's better if he do it. Instead of explaining.
He have invested 900k points in his skill. But he still got 9 billion.
So he activated Charectar Upgrade.
A digital panel own before him. With charectar panel, he got first option male or female. If he use female, he can get female too.
That's what he thought.
But as he touched female option.
[Upgrade your charectar..]
[Choose your character..]
[Male/female]
[Female is choosen..]
[Gender bender is impossible right now for host or his avaters.]
So he chooses male.
[Male.] (Tap)
[Upgrade what you want to upgrade.]
[Besic attribute.]
[Body meterial.]
[Bloodline.]
[Bloodline is choosen.]
