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

—–

This is why I don’t like to think about my past because I always remember these little bits that always fucked me over… I don’t want to blame it all on looking ugly. I was also pretty introverted, and that only made it worse… Maybe even if I was ugly, if I was an extrovert, I would have ultimately made friends anyways… But things were not as easy for me.

It’s not easy to jump from an introvert to an extrovert, and it is a very gradual transition. Without friends, it becomes even harder, so I guess I was never able to do it… well, until now. I had just realized it, but aren’t I a big extrovert in this life? Is it because I feel “free”?

Indeed, since I came here and became a ghost, I simply let most of my thoughts get out of my mind. I often talk about what I think without realizing it. I know I’ve always been a klutz, but I never used to do this in my previous life.

Maybe dying and then dying again to turn into a ghost really made me go insane or something? Well, to become a ghost, you have to be kind of insane… I had already touched on this topic before.

Hmm… I suppose doing this self-reflection from time to time is not a bad thing. I wouldn’t be a person with my own thought process if I didn’t do this from time to time. What makes us sentient beings is the ability to self-reflect on our own actions, recall what we have done, realize our mistakes, or realize what we have done well.

The very concept of our own morality of what’s good or bad always varies from person to person, but I’ve always considered “good” to things I do for others without expecting much back, and well, also being able to talk more with people and all of that!

Maybe lacking a brain really made my mind spread all around, to the point my entire phantasmal body possessed my thoughts. Perhaps this had made me break out of my “shell” in a way.

Everyone always says I am very extroverted in here… I wish I could have been half as amazing in my previous life… But I guess most of what I’ve achieved here is only based on my own powers as a ghost and my Cheat Unique Skills.

But can you blame me? I had to die to get them, so it’s fair that after having a stupid death by being crushed by books, I would have a nice second life with cheats! And in this dangerous world, it’s better to have as many advantages as possible.

Well… I kind of didn’t have them as much? I don’t know if I had the same Unique Skills when I was alive and known as Maria Fuentes Belles, an aristocratic child… But according to what I heard and how I don’t remember this life, I was most likely very different from how I used to be on Earth… Maybe I was some sort of rich young lady girl archetype like in those Korean romance s I used to read?

Ah, anyway, I should stop pondering my orb in these questions and concentrate on the outside world.

Because through my Auto Map function, I just detected a massive swarm of spiders approaching!

This is bad! What do I even do?!

Ah, right, I am actually strong and got an army of zombie spiders. I am good.

But where did these bugger- I mean, spideys came from?!

“Pyro, stop here….” I said.

“Huh? What happened?” Asked Syllis.

“Maria?” Muttered Bellerine.

“We got company….” I sighed.

Crackle, crackle…!

Suddenly, the cracking sounds of dozens of legs walking over the forest floor reached us instantly, as we found ourselves surrounded by a dozen spiders.

They were not as many as in the attack on our camp, but they were at least 18…

“S-Spiders!” Said Bellerine.

“M-More?! Didn’t you get attacked by over a dozen of them before?” Asked Syllis.

“Yep, they seem to have detected us and want to have us for dinner… Technically, they can’t have me for dinner, but you guys look pretty tender and juicy….” I said.

“Uwaaaahh!” Cried Bellerine.

Oops, I shouldn’t have said that.

“Sorry! I am joking! Just get into the shadows for now!” I said, stuffing both siblings inside my shadows while spreading them through my Shadow and Death Domain.

“Come forth, my Undead! I will show you what the true strength of a Necromancer is all about! Bwahahaha!” I laughed.

I made sure to act as cocky and exaggerated as possible because I’ve always wanted to make this, to be honest. Yes, I know I am cringe, but that’s why I am doing it when there’s nobody watching! This is the perfect opportunity to show off my inner chunni!

FLAAASH!

The shadows suddenly summoned my army of spider zombies as they greeted the dozens of other spiders that had come to greet us. A battle between spiders quickly was unleashed as I heard the agonizing cries of countless spiders killing each other.

CLASH! CRASH! BOOM!

“GRYYSSHAA!”

“GRRYYARRR…!”

“GRYYY…”

I stood there looking as my boys were getting massacred.

Wait, massacred?!

“You guys! Why are you so weak? Don’t die again on me! Boost!” I said.

I used my Domain to boost their total power. This Domain of Death and Darkness enhanced the power of any Undead within my team as long as they were inside based on the Skill level, so they were able to get a lot of power and were finally fighting back!

My spiders began to ravage the others, using their sharp fangs to cut through the hard exoskeleton of the enemy spiders. Then they began to be torn apart at the same time as they were tearing apart my own spiders.

I guess it could be said it was a tie, but I was there to heal my troops, and also, Pyro offered some firepower at that!
