Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

—–

I have reached Level 9 out of 40. So that means there are 31 more levels before I can freaking evolve again. That’s a lot of levels… Can I get enough by killing this dude? I doubt it, but we’ll get through it eventually. Humans give some tasty EXP, so if I can kill many aristocratic pigs, I will get a nice load of EXP out of it. I might even make their guards or close friends approach me so I can also get their EXP. Oh damn, I am such a psycho. Look at me, talking about killing people like it’s nothing…

Mom, sister, how much have I changed?! I am hopelessly evil! Ah… This is why I make it up by helping those in need. This way, I balance out the negative karma with good deeds towards the innocent and undeserving of bad treatment.

See? Where there is evil, there is also good. Yin and Yang, all that fuss.

Anyways, we continued to rush through the forest. Now that we were recovered, we had nothing else to do but get there. We moved swiftly through the trees towards the direction where the memories of the Skeleton told me to go.

“My level is about to reach 30. I might even evolve soon… At long last, I won’t just be an unliving flesh mound,” Said Lucifer.

“Oh nice, Lucy-chan, you’re getting stronger! I bet you’ll awaken more and more of your power as a former dragon,” I said.

“Don’t call me Lucy! And yes, as I evolve, I might unlock more of my former glory’s power. But I lost most of my total power in the dungeon when it was formed. That thing was draining me out like a leech… I guess I must still be thankful for what you did. Even if you keep getting into a mess after mess all the time, it has been fun so far,”

“Aw, really, lizard?”

“Don’t call me lizard!” He cried.

“It’s just a joke. Come on… You can call me whatever you want to,”

“T-Then… I… Erm… Ah… Shadow!”

“So lame… That didn’t even hurt,” I chuckled.

“Lame…” Said Partner.

“Shut up, you former skeleton!” Lucifer shouted as Partner continued to chuckle teasingly.

“Lame! Lameeeee~” Partner said, continuing to tease him.

“I am not good with nicknames; I am not such a type of person to come up with them… Other than calling you a suggestive woman with an erotic body, I can’t- Ah….”

“Erotic body?!” I shouted.

“N-Never mind that! I-I am not what you think!”

“Hehe, I think you’re really a degenerate deep down, aren’t you? You’re one of those types of guys that are very reserved outside but deep down, I bet you’re a kinky little lizard,” I laughed.

“S-Shut up! Can you not speak about embarrassing things for 10 minutes?!”

“Eeeh? But that’s boring. Where’s the fun if I can’t poke my little dragon man?”

“W-What kind of nickname is that now?”

“You’re cute when you get embarrassed… So do you get it?” I asked while winking at him.

“C-Cute… I am a male! I don’t care about being cute!” He shouted in protest.

“Okaaay… Anyways, it looks like we are here,” I said.

I pointed at a small hill with a little cave.

“Eh? We got here quite fast,” Lucifer muttered.

“See? Talking nonsense for a while always makes time go fast, which is a necessity when you live for eternity as a cursed undead,” I said.

“I have no words for such a statement,” Lucifer replied.

“Anyways, let’s get to it! Follow me, crew!”

I let the two hop into my shadows through [Shadow Storage], and we quickly moved through the shadows of the forest and reached the dim cave. The cave looked quite dark, and it was covered by black-colored rocks that leaked some strange necrotic liquid. We moved around, trying to find anything suspicious…

And lo and behold!

There he was. A small man, perhaps smaller than Lucifer, covered in black robes that made him look like a typical villain in an RPG game. He had pale white skin, which I noticed through his pale white hands and sharp black nails at the end of each finger.

He had the air of a strong magician, his mana was vast, and he slightly gave me the same vibes as Partner… was he a Dhampir or something similar? He also emanated a dark presence. He hadn’t noticed us as he was quickly trying to pack his things before leaving. He was also carrying a staff with a human skull on top… Wow, edgy.

Let’s see…

…

Oof, alright, he’s quite literally a better version of me. His magic power is deadly. A few hits from him, and we are more dead than what we currently are. I see he lacks any status effects, so let’s see what he’s got for me. Wait, why don’t we start with an explosion?

I slowly crept as close as I could before he noticed me. And suddenly, he began to conjure runes throughout the entire cave. Fufu, yes, get closer!

“Nngh… I have to hurry! Damn it, why did that thing come here and just ruin everything?! The Vampires are going to kill me!” He cried out.

Vampires…?

Anyways, [Pandora’s Box]!

FLAAASH!

I activated my Skill, [Pandora’s Box], as I released a deadly explosion of pure chaos, darkness, and death all around us! Such a beautiful sight! It was as if I had opened the box for real.

“Eheeehh?!”

BOOOM!

He began to freak out, but due to his high magic defense, he was able to survive the hit, but he was also blown away, slamming against the stone wall.

“Come out now. Let’s kill him!” I roared as Lucifer and Partner came out.

“W-What is the meaning of this?!”
