Chapter 256: Zombie Player II

I easily surpassed the trial grounds as it was mainly beasts that are zombified or skeletal that we fight against. It does give great experience though as I became level ten in under ten minutes.

All those who have become level ten can wander out in the main world apparently. Wow! All this talk about different worlds is mind boggling because I thought they were just rumors. But the most exciting news is that I get to go to the castle.

There was also a trial between other zombie players. Fortunately, I managed to win against all of those who went against me. It seems that my experience as a brawler really came in handy with a bit of luck of course.

I am actually being escorted by a death knight into the castle as a reward for winning against other zombie players. I am not being escorted alone though as a skeleton and a wraith player is with me. We made some small talk and I am glad that they are actually like me.

The skeleton player is named Skellytony while the wraith player's name is Balete. It seems they chose their names based on their experiences. Skellytony got his name from the names he got called when he was a thin kid. Balete's name came from her experience in her country as she saw a white lady ghost once in an area called Balete Drive.

I think their names are great because it is a big step up from mine which is Zombae. I guess me being thirsty for love made me do it but then again it is cute. I want to be a zombie which save a fair maiden.

Crash!

I crashed into something or someone and I got sent backward. The death knights in front of me suddenly pointed their swords at me which I immediately panicked and bowed. It seems I crashed into someone important.

"Are you okay?" a voice called out to me as a hand reached out for me to grab in order to stand.

"My prince! Get back. We must apprehend this criminal." The voice of a death knight next to the platinum haired boy stated.

"You guys worry too much. It was just an accident. I am sure that Mister Zombae did not intentionally do it. He might just be excited in entering the castle since it is grand and majestic." The platinum haired boy stated.

"You are lucky that the prince is a kind soul. Still you must greet the prince of the undead." The death knight who escorted us stated.

"We greet the Prince of the Undead." All three of use new undead players stated in unison.

"Ey!!! You guys do not need to be so formal. We are family here." The prince of the undead stated which warmed the heart of the three players.

"Creepysoo!" A voice called out to someone.

I turned my head towards who said out that name and to my surprise it was a demon. It is actually the reported demon in the forums. I cannot believe that I am going to meet a celebrity here. But who did he call?

"Big Brother!" the prince of the undead called out which surprised the three.

An undead's big brother is a demon which greatly surprised me. Can an undead become a demon?

"Oh! Who are they?" The demon stated.

"They are the new players that chose my father's faction." The prince of the undead stated which greatly shocked me because NPCs cannot used the word player to describe us.

It can only mean one thing. The first undead player must be the boy in front of me. I am very jealous but very thankful at the same time but it seems that he is not like us. He is not a zombie because he is not missing flesh or skin. He is not a skeleton because he has skin and he is most definitely not a wraith.

"Sir, death knight? What is the undead species of our glorious prince?" I asked the death knight that escorted us in hopes of an answer but he actually reluctantly answered.

"Our prince is the same as our king which is a Wight." The death knight answered which made me fanboy so much.

I actually wanted to observe and touch the prince but that would make me a creeper. I can see from the other two that they also want to do that as well but they are suppressing their curiosity like me. I did not know why but a cute looking skeleton with a hood showed up in front of me.

I was about to pet it but I suddenly heard a shout like 'Get Away'. That was the last thing I heard before I could not see anything.

[You have died.]

"How did I die? I am pretty sure that no one can attack me in a safe zone."

[You have been brought back in time by Equinox. You are being revived.]

"Huh? I am returning back to life. Who is Equinox anyway?"

When I regained my vision, the demon is actually grabbing the little hooded skeleton tightly with his armored hand. He is also apologizing to me for some reason but you did nothing wrong.

"I am very sorry. I have yet to control my souldbounds appetite. Thankfully, Rewind worked on you or else I would be ashamed of myself." The demon told me.

I looked at the little hooded skeleton and it seems that it is chewing on something. I can even hear an audible crunch. My two new fellow players were actually having horrified expression as they gazed at the little hooded skeleton. I do not know why they are scare. It is very cute anyway.

I wanted to touch it again but something inside me tells that I should not. The demon apologized for about two minutes to me even though he did not do anything wrong.

"I am very sorry. Let me compensate you." The demon said as he gave me ten bone fragments.

[You have obtained Unidentified Bone Fragments x10.]

"Uhhm…Thanks?" I said because it was the polite thing to do.

"It seems you do not know how to use them? You simply absorb them into your body. It will give you stats though it would be random." The demon said to me as he bid his goodbye with the prince of the undead.

He also gave the other two the same thing but only half of what I got. We did not know what to do with it so we just said thank you as they disappeared from our vision. We looked towards the death knight that escorted us and he graciously explained.

"Us undead blessed by the God of Death can ingest the dead bodies of others in order to become powerful but it will not always work. You should count yourself lucky that the Champion of the Twin Gods gave you very important bone fragments. It greatly increased our prince stats when he gave him some." The death knight stated so we hurriedly ingested the bone fragments.

"Wow! I gained stats that would take me ten levels to achieve." I stated in awe.

It seems that my undead adventures might be a pleasant one. I entered the castle of the Undead King with great expectations.
