Harvest

Outlander, you had entered the "Soul Cemetery."

After the familiar prompt, dense white fog still surrounded them, with countless tombstones standing vaguely within it. Beneath their feet were square tombstones slanted into the ground, upright cross-shaped tombstones, and wooden board tombstones that were nearly rotten away.

These tombstones varied in size and shape. Their only common feature was that none bore any writing.

"How interesting."

Shade crouched down and stroked the rough surface of the square tombstone before him. "She" sensed the information and told Shade the result.

Shade said to Luvia:

"If the name of a deceased person is carved onto these blank tombstones, their soul can be summoned. The cause of death does not matter, and even a shattered soul is fine, though only its remnants can be found. This place connects to the calm waters beyond the Gate of Death, allowing Spirit Summoning regardless of any conditions."

"Only the name is needed?"

Luvia asked curiously.

"Besides the name, recognized titles, nicknames, or aliases can also be used. But the year of birth and death, a relatively specific cause of death, and prior contact are also required. Even a very simple encounter is enough; merely seeing them counts. But it cannot be someone seen in a newspaper."

Shade paused.

"And souls from outside the Sixth Epoch cannot be summoned either."

"What can be done after summoning a soul?"

"The soul can be shattered, asked simple questions, or even brought into the Reality World for free movement within a certain time limit. But bringing it back to the Reality World requires a price. That is fair. This is the cemetery of souls, where souls rest. Living people who come here become their temporary masters. Compared to the Time Corridor and Space Labyrinth, this place is no less useful. If
