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

"T-They turn them into monsters?!" Asked Emeraldine. "Ah… Wait, why am I acting surprised? We've seen this way too much at this point, it should have been expected. Still, it's terrible…"

"I-I am not really sure myself, that's mostly what we've heard around." Nia sighed. "But in these parts of the city, there have been many of my friends that couldn't afford water anymore, and tried to steal some of the water from the Oasis, I never saw them ever again…"

"That's way too extreme though, why would they do that just for water?!" Partner was losing it. "This is too extreme! What in the world is going on in those people's heads?"

"We all can relate to that, they're simply insane… The church of the water goddess used to be a really nice place, they often did charity, shared food, and even sometimes helped us with money." Sighed Nia. "However, things changed once that woman appeared here… The Saintess of Water, someone that was sent from the Empire of Light to "supervise" us…"

"The Saintess of Water?" I asked, feeling intrigued. "What do you know about her, Nia?"

"Very little, I just know she showed up a few years ago. She never shows herself except on very special occasions, once a year, and in front of everyone to give some sort of speech… Everyone hates her because she's the one that has made our city like it is now…" Sighed Nia. "She must have been told to gather money for the church or something, and ended up doing this strategy, forcing the population to drain their pockets and pay the church for the "water goddess' blessing" as she calls the water in the Oasis…"

"So that bitch just came here and ruined everybody's lives." Partner sighed, crossing her arms. "Huh, well, not like we haven't met our fair share of assholes like these before…"

"The Empire of Light sent her?" Wondered Jonathan. "I doubt she came here just for the money, it might as well just be some sort of strategy, to make people desperate, to cut the population, and both generate money and also opportunities… for her and whoever she's working with to take prisoners through "legal" means, such as punishing the "sinners" for trying to steal the water goddess' blessings…"

"T-That's…" Nia muttered. "Ah, I… remember something else, there was this rumor circulating that she had told some Paladins she came here looking for the Oasis Spirit Reincarnation…"

"A s-skeleton!" She cried, pointing at the skeleton emerging from my shadows.

"D-Don't worry, he's a good guy now!" I said. "I am a Necromancer, so I deal with all sorts of Undead… Sorry for not telling you before."

"A-Ah… H-He's not going to harm me?" The young mother wondered.

"Hahaha, don't worry." I laughed. "He's a good ol' pile of bones! Right? Come on, rattle your bones to entertain the lady."

"Hmm… I'll go back for now." The Pharaoh didn't obey my orders and just went back to the shadows, meeting the sleeping Arachne in there.

"A-Anyways! Can you continue?" I asked. "Sorry about that… Also, I'm surprised you didn't react surprised when you saw Tyr appear."

"Tyr? Who?" Nia wondered.

"She can't see me unless I want her to see me, so don't worry about it," Tyr said. "Anyways, I want to know more about this Divine Spirit. She might have some sort of relationship with the Goddess of Water. In fact… I am beginning to think that the reason her Saintess is here looking for the spirit's reincarnation is this very connection."

"Huh, well, can you continue?" I asked again. "I'll serve you another tea~"

"O-Oh, yes…" Nia sighed. "Sorry for acting surprised… We usually only see Undead in the Pyramid Dungeon, and nobody steps foot in there due to its dangerousness… Its gates are being protected by the church. Well, there used to be a lot of adventurers coming here from all around the continent, but now because it was closed forever, our market has become staller without the adventurers coming here, which also attracted merchants…"

"I see…" I nodded. "You must have terrible memories about Undead, sorry about that."

"I-It's fine, anyways… Well, this is the "end" of the Divine Oasis Spirit's tales, the tragedy that struck her…" Sighed Nia.
