The courtyard of the Lord’s mansion. The moon shone peacefully in the night sky. I spin around and use the centrifugal force to swing my machete. The Skeleton Knight who is on alert, poised for defense, uses inhuman strength to ward off the blow, by retreating a few steps back and cleverly maneuvering the sword it held in both hands. I could sense the weight of training and experience that went behind that single move. The quality of a Skeleton largely depends on the principal…-

Beautiful hair made of fine silver strands. Deep purple eyes like the amethyst. She was, not yet twenty… but I suppose in her late teens. Her skin was pale, but not sickly like Roux’s. Her refined features gave her an intelligent air. She had the kind of beauty that would have had me bewitched if not for the current circumstances. She was shorter than me and looked very dainty, but the energy I felt radiating from her was more overwhelming than it felt a short while ago at a…

We picked up what had been requested and made our way towards the exit of the town. Huck was very surprised when he saw me with Roux but he didn’t say anything. He has a generally favourable impression since despite his shady business, he has a principle of not prying into his clients’ affairs. The object that the Lord had requested was wrapped in a thick cloth, so I could not tell what it actually was. Except that it was about a meter long, with a narrow tip and wide bottom. The…

It has been quite a while since I have been outside. The last few years of my life before were mostly spent in bed. So it must be around five or six years since I have been into town. The sunlight pouring down from the sky pricked my skin. The hunt happened almost always at night, so it’s been a while since I have been outside during the day. However, that does not mean I am out of commission in daytime. The class of undead that is the most susceptible to sunlight is the…

I am out on the night hunt with the Lord. Now that there is no need to conceal my abilities, the monsters in the woods are no real opponents to me. I had already gotten used to the physical abilities of a ghoul. The machete and the claws, in addition to abilities that far surpass a fleshman and with the Lord’s backup, there was no way these monsters could pose any kind of threat. I slaughter a pack of night wolves, that were once terrifying, and partake of their flesh. The meat…

I put all of my strength into it. My long claws easily pierced the Lord’s skull. Roux’s eyes opened wide in shock upon witnessing the sudden attack. However, it was too late. I felt no exhilaration. Just dark pleasure. I guess that proves what a monster I have become. I pulled my claws out of the soft skull. Warm blood began to spurt and that made my mouth curve into a smile. I won. Now, I am free. All I have to do is leave the forest and I could go anywhere. I do not…

I had underestimated the cunning mage. He was a man of caution. Well, I had lived in a very small world. My only source of knowledge was the books. I had come across nothing about surveillance magic on there. Well, putting aside whether or not that would make a difference now, I should have anticipated such an outcome. The magic used was evidently not necromancy, and there are no rules that forbid a necromancer from using other types of magic. In any case, I have no right to gripe about it.…

I need to be certain of my victory. I, Lord Horus and the Death Knights. Between the three, there is no question that I am the weakest. I was able to hunt the monsters in the woods only because I had the Lord’s support. I may have grown a little owing to experience and evolution, but in reality, I have not changed all that much from before. Typically, when a civilian with no combat experience turns into a zombie, an infamous undead of the lowest rank, it is said that their fighting…

Considering the fact that I can evolve and excluding the risk that I could have my freedom stripped, these are the best circumstances I could ever ask for right now. However, I could feel that ‘the time’ for my mutiny was drawing close. The seed of suspicion will no doubt keep growing bigger inside his mind. Even though the Lord dismissed Roux’s words as lies, they must surely keep pricking him in deep recesses of his mind. All I need is to determine the best possible time to…
