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

—–

Within the vast Evergreen Forest, a pair of young kids ran barefoot. Their bodies were covered in scars, and they were only wearing tatters. They were both pale white, and their eyes glowed with different colors. Their hair was also of different colors, with each one having different colored patches that were unmatched and seemed random as if artificially made that way.

And on their faces, they had strange runic tattoos and both with one large spiraling black horn, each one on the opposite side of the other’s head. There was a large black and red jewel on their chests, spreading an accursed essence into their bodies, fueling their strength to run away.

However, despite how bizarre they looked, they were not monstrous. Their eyes were filled with fear and desperation, their teeth grit, their feet covered in dirt and wounds, and they seemed exhausted.

“Hahh… Hahhh… I am tired…”

The little boy began to gasp for air as he almost fell onto his knees on the ground. The girl quickly caught him and looked him in the eyes.

“We have to go, Takeshi! You can’t rest!”

“But… I don’t think I can keep going, Laura….”

“No… D-Don’t give up! We can escape… We are so close!”

“My body… it hurts all over….”

“CRAAA!”

Suddenly, the girl was startled by the sound of a raven in the distance, flying upwards and circling them both.

“Huh?”

“CRAA!”

The raven then flew away.

“ARRROOOOO!”

Suddenly, the two heard the voice of the accursed abomination that had been following them ever since they escaped the laboratory…

“I-It’s here!” Cried the boy.

“It can’t be… I am sure that he fell off that cliff! H-How?!” Cried the girl.

“He’s a monster… he was made like us… but he’s made to chase others….” The boy muttered before glancing back at the girl.

“Takeshi, come on!”

Laura, the girl, grabbed Takeshi, the boy, with her hands, and began to pull him, making him rest on her back as she tightly grabbed his ankles.

“L-Laura… stop… Let me stay here… I can buy you some time…” Muttered the boy.

“No! I-I told you that we were going to… get out together!” She shouted in response.

“Laura…”

The little girl grit her teeth as her crimson-red eye, and her yellowish-gold eye suddenly shone with bright lights. The strange jewel in her chest filled her with the last remnants of energy as her little legs began to run through the mud and on the hard rocks of the forest floor.

“AARRGR!”

However, she heard the accursed creature’s bark once more. Its enormous razor-sharp teeth began to crackle menacingly as it got closer.

Her heart began to beat faster and faster as the boy was barely hanging on with his consciousness, on the brink of falling unconscious…

‘I won’t… I won’t let them catch me again!’ Thought the girl.

“GRRAAARR!”

However, the monstrous creature detected them at long last. It leaped towards the pair with incredible speed and accuracy. Its body was enhanced by its mana, and then, it suddenly appeared right before the duo.

CLASH!

“Gyyaaah!”

The girl lost her balance due to the surprise, as she fell onto a puddle of mud, the boy barely being able to see what was happening. The monstrous creature looked at the two with its wolf skull head and two glowing red eyes in each socket. Its body was like that of a wolf and covered in dark fur, but it had multiple tails, each one having the head of a different-colored snake.

They even hissed at the two!

“Ggrrrr…!”

The wolf-like chimera slowly began to move towards the girl cautiously as it had a good reason.

“G-Get away from us!!!”

The girl cried loudly as she pointed her tiny hands at the monster. A sudden burst of black electricity came out, clashing with the wolf’s face!

CLASH!

“GRAARR…!”

The wolf, however, remained almost untouched. The power she had was too weak now that she had barely any energy…

“GRAA…!”

The creature moved further as a mass of purple slime suddenly came out from below its belly, extending viciously towards the girl.

“Aggh…!”

Suddenly, a man’s voice came out of the wolf chimera’s head, which had a strange artifact in it resembling a black box the size of a peanut.

“Kuahaha! I finally found you two, little ones! I cannot possibly lose you from my grasp! This will be the last time you’ll escape from me! I’ll make sure to cut your limbs one by one, so you won’t be able to run away ever again….”

“No! Leave us alone!”

“I can’t! You’re important for my research, after all. I must work to please my master. And well, also to please my endless craving for knowledge and research….”

“Blob!”

The purple slime extended its tentacles as it wrapped itself around the girl’s body and her tiny limbs began to be slowly pulled!

“I am sorry… I am sorry…” Muttered the slime with the voice of an agonizing man.

“Nooo! Please stop!!!”

“I am sorryyyyyyyyy!!!”

“GRRYYAAAGGGH…!”

SPLAT!

…

“Huh?”

While thinking that the girl’s limbs were going to be pulled out horrendously, she suddenly felt like the grip of the slime’s tentacles loosened around her limbs as she fell onto the mud again. She glanced at the ground and saw the slime splattered across the mud, with a large dragon sitting atop its remaining pieces.

“E-Ehh?!”

The dragon was dark-scaled and looked menacing.

“Maria! Did you have to throw me like a ball here?!” He roared.

“Sorry! I was testing my Shadow Catapult! It is pretty fun, but goddamn, it drains MP like crazy,”

The voice of a mischievous woman resonated across the forest as a mass of shadows wrapped itself around the wolf chimera before it was to take the boy away!

“AWROOO!”

And from the shadows, a beautiful yet lugubrious-looking woman came out.

“What do we have here… Oh! These are kids?!” She exclaimed as several figures jumped out of her shadows, including a beautiful blonde elf.

“Are you okay? Oh dear, look at your wounds… I’ll heal you right away!”

“Eh?”

The girl was left completely dumbfounded.
