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

-----

[You have named [Aberrant Giant Venomous Death Salamander] [Rank: B+] as [Gero]!]

At the end I gave him a better name "Gero", which is the sound frogs make in… anime, I guess. Yeah, I guessed it would be fitting somehow.

Ding!

[Gero] has accepted your name]

[Gero] Stats have been risen after being named by a powerful entity]

[Gero] has acquired the [Named Undead Familiar], [King of Amphibians], and [King of Venom] Title Skills]

[Gero] learned the [Deadly Necrotic Venom Secretion], [Jaws of Death], [Aura of Venomous Death], and [Venomous Domain] Skills!]

"Huh? This is new!" I said with surprise.

[After having evolved into a Beelzebub, your ability to influence others has been enhanced, granting them names to unnamed beings enhances their power, giving them bonus stats, titles, and skills]

"Wow, so this is a new thing… Damn it, it didn't work on Mercury or Darkbound because they were already named beforehand?"

[Indeed, this only works in completely new creatures]

"Alright… Anyways, what is this though?"

After I had defeated Gero and then risen him as an Undead I mounted over him and walked across the caves, after a quick stroll around while Gero left the floor all slimy, we found something strange, it looked like an abandoned temple. It emanated a strong miasmic aura from within.

"Is this a Dungeon?" I wondered.

"GRUOH!"

Gero began wagging his big and slimy tail, he seemed to know about this place.

"What is it? You know something dear?"

"Gruoh! Grah! Gluop!"

The adorable Gero tried to speak to me and tell what this was, but he couldn't really tell me anything, the only thing he did was make sounds similar to when fishes are asphyxiating outside of water.

"I can't understand you… Wait, I think there was a Spell that allows me to speak with Undead, even those that can't talk properly…"

I quickly formed a magic circle and tried it out by fusing it with my own [Supreme Magic] Unique Skill.

FLASH!

Quickly after, Gero was enveloped in a veil of phantasmal essence.

"Gruoh! Gero!"

He was still talking the same, but I was able to somehow understand what he was saying. Gero said that this place was a dangerous "Lair" as he calls the Dungeon, where powerful monsters sometimes comes out. He said he hunts the smaller ones, but the big ones are too strong so he hid in the Lake until they go away, usually deeper into this cave.

"Wait, monsters stronger than you?!" I asked. "But you were a B Rank monster! I thought you were the King of the place!"

"Gerooo…" Gero sighed a bit, as he seemed to feel like he was disappointing me. Well, to be honest, he was.

"Don't worry, you'll level up and grow stronger after we get inside."

"GEH?!"

He seemed slightly scared.

"Come on, let's go in!"

"Gerororoo…"

"Hey, are you hesitating? I didn't wasted 10k System Points to raise a coward! Come on, onwards!"

"Geroooo…"

Gero was trembling while walking, making his already sluggish movements even slower!

"What? You're not going anywhere!"

However, we were caught just while we were about to enter the Dungeon as Lucifer appeared with Emeraldine and Partner over his big dragon body. His figure was enough to scare Gero even more, as he covered himself with his front limbs.

"GEEEH?!"

"Agh, don't scare my new undead!" I complained.

Lucifer quickly flew to my side and allowed Emeraldine to give me a karate chop in the head.

"You dummy!"

SMACK!

"Ouch! What was that for?!"

"We were worried!" Emeraldine said angrily.

"Master, you mined so much you caused an earthquake up there and everyone was worried you got crushed by rocks…" Partner said.

"I can't be crushed by rocks, after all I am an Undead, you know?" I sighed.

"Y-Yeah but still… not everyone there knows this." Sighed Lucifer. "If we want to keep the façade that you're not a ghost, be more mindful of what you do."

"S-Sure… I get it. Though, look my Inventory! I got a bunch of new Ores!"

I showed everybody my Inventory, which appeared like a game-like window whenever I wished to showcase it to someone. Emeraldine seemed rather interested, but Partner was rather clueless and Lucifer continued being angry.

"Yeah, yeah, that's nice and all, but let's go back for now." He said.

"But there's a Dungeon! I want to go dungeon diving!" I complained.

"Right now?! Weren't we going to just mine today and help Helga? She's waiting for you up there." Sighed Lucifer.

"Ah, right… Are they going back home already?" I wondered.

"Due to the tremors you caused, a lot of rocks with ores and crystals fell so they just picked those up for today's bounty and shared them between one another. Well, they still mined for four hours." Said Emeraldine.

"I guess that's fair, let's go then. We can come back later, this is a new Dungeon in this Mountain, so maybe we could report it." I said.

"Yeah, that's what I had in mind as well." Lucifer said.

"Wow, that Dungeon looks strong- Ah, that's a giant frog!" Partner said.

"Salamander! Not frog. Although yeah, it looks like one a little bit…" I laughed.

"Gerooo…." Gero timidly uncovered his face as the girls immediately found him adorable.

"Uwah, he's kind of cute though…" Partner said.

"Although the sliminess is disgusting, it has a very cute and round face…" Emeraldine added.

"That thing is… a new Undead?" Lucifer wondered, as we decided to fly back where we originally were.

"Yeah, he was a guardian of that Lake. Apparently he has been living his entire life there until he attacked me, perished, and quickly was brought back as a powerful Undead." I said pridefully.

"I guess that could be the summary of most characters at your side, me including." Sighed Lucifer.

"Ahahahah! Come on, it's not that bad!" I continued laughing to make the mood a bit more relaxed.

When we meet once more with Helga and the rest, we explained them what I saw and what happened. Gero was revealed to them as I told them I was also a Necromancer.

"A Dungeon?!" Helga asked. "This is actually… Better than I thought!"

I was surprised, I thought she was going to be scared of it.
