Room were small and designed as a bedroom for little girl.
There was a haggard looking, middle-aged man was sleeping while he was hugging a little girl about 13 years old. Girl's skin were pale like corpse and from what i sense, her heart was beating in very slow rhythm, about 10 times in a minute but she wasn't breathing.
They are necromancer and his undead daughter.
This necromancer's story or should i say life is very common story in every fantasy novel, manga and anime.
Necromancer's daughter died at age of 13 and he couldn't accept his daughter's death, thus he raised his daughter as an undead but he didn't stop with just that. If he stopped he didn't have to came this shabby house.
In this world raising undead isn't crime. Undead or necromancy element is one of the many elements in this worls and this world's people don't consider any of the elements is inherently evil. Though some religious people don't like it because they finds some of the elements are unpleasant to be around it.
But necromancer tried to make his daughter living, breathing being. Creating a living being akin to humans is considered taboo among mages and priests, which i didn't understand the reason for this.
Anyway, it is enough for unimportant necromancer's story.
Necromancer sensed us while sleeping and woke up. He looked at us for a second and his expression contorted.
"Who are you to dare to disturb my daughter's rest!" Necromancer shouted furiously while pointing at us.
I inspected the man with my status lenses and found out that he was 6th circle mage, which was impossible for us to kill him in normal fight.
Thus i decided to kill him without fight. This man's body was weak as twig but his magic was strong. If he let his guard down i can kill him with just a punch.
So i started spout believable bullshit for a while.
"We aren't hostile to you Kain. My lord, [Aros], heard your cries and sent us here to help you." I said respectfully.
Kain, the necromancer was trying to revive her dead daughter for a long time. So i thought that he must have prayed to the [Aros], [Devil of death and souls].
Devils too worshipped like Gods, just their believers are worship them secretly because of the other Gods priests that burns them whenever they caught them.
"You are liar! I didn't even prayed to Aros." Kain immediately denied my claim. He was clearly suspicious of me.
"I know you didn't prayed to my lord, but my lord heard your desperation and wanted to help you." I said with utmost respect when i said 'my lord'.
"It is impossible! No devil would help someone even if that someone practises the devil's main domain." Kain denied me again, but his suspicion was less than before.
"You aren't wrong but you aren't right either. No devil would help someone freely, you have to pay a corresponding price for their help." I said.
What i said was true, devils would help someone for a price, but they would usually help in a twisted way and gets huge price for a mortal to pay.
Kain got quiet for a while. I could tell that he was thinking about the things i said.
I knew her dead daughter and he was trying to revive her with necromancy, which is impossible to know because this man didn't tell anyone what he was doing. So he must thought that what i said about that i was believer of Aros and i was sent here by Aros themselves true, or else who would have know what Kain trying to do.
"Give me a minute." He said and took a book from his desk.
He searched through of the book and read it. After that he closed the book and looked at me with determination.
"What is your lord wants from me? A 6th circle mage that couldn't breakthrough for ten years?" Kain asked suspiciously.
I walked slowly walked to his side, he got wary for a moment but didn't do anything.
I patted his shoulder few times and looked at his eyes with smile.
"My lord thinks highly of your talent and my lord is upset for you, who can't breakthrough because of your mortal limitations." I spoke fanatically.
"Rejoice Kain! You, a mortal, will be my lord's servant without limits while in this mortal realm, and after your inevitable death you will be my lord's fallen angel." I looked at Kain with respect and envy.
Kain's eyes widened, he was shocked. Even if they are devil, they are divine beings like gods. Being an angel or fallen angel of a divine being is big honor that every religious person would die for.
"Why me? There are many believer of Aros. Why would Lord Aros would choose a mortal like me who didn't even prayed to them." Kain asked with shaky tone.
"I wouldn't even dare to guess my Lord's intentions. Divine beings are mysterious and unpredictable. Only thing i know is, my Lord find you valuable enough to make you their fallen angel." I humble said.
Kain hesitated to speak, so i continued my bullshit.
"Why are you hesitating? Don't you want your daughter live a long, happy life. She will even see that his amazing father becomes a semi-divine being serving Lord Aros." I asked and spouted the words that he would like to hear.
"You are right. Why i am hesitating while i can save my daughter. What i have to do?" Kain speak like he was angry at himself.
"All you have to do is sit in praying position and close your eyes, i will contact to my Lord." I said and gestured him to sit down.
He sat down in praying position and closed his eyes.
"I will touch your forehead, don't be afraid." I said calmy.
I came closer to him, my one hand touched his forehead and my other hand came closer to his neck.
I changed my Silen Scream which was in ring form to sharp stake and thrusted to below of his chin.
Sharp stake pierced weak, haggard necromancers flesh easily and reached to his brain, which killed him instantly. Kain's
mind wasn't stable from the beginning, so convincing and killing him were pretty easy.
Well, it was pretty easy but it seems that i forced my body too much. I couldn't even move my limbs right now as if they were paralyzed.
"Aria come here and help me." I said to Aria, who was stayed still the moment we entered this room.
Aria came to my side quickly.
"What i have to do master?" Aria asked with concern.
"Bring your face closer to mine."
Aria brought her face closer and looked at me questioningly.
"Close your eyes and don't open them if i don't say it."
Aria closed her eyes tightly.
I leaned to her face and bit her lower lip hard enough to draw blood.
Aria gasped but didn't back away.
I casted bloody healing and healed my body little bit enough, so that i can move my limbs.
Afterwards i licked the blood from her lower lip gently.
"You can open your eyes now." I said calmy.
"Yes master." Aria said shakily but didn't opened her eyes.
After killing tens of undead for hours, i was too much bored. Thus i teased Aria to relieve it and it worked like usual. I was still bored but not that much.
"Why aren't you open your eyes Aria? If you didn't like my love bite, i won't do it anymore." I said sadly.
"I shouldn't open them master." Aria said quietly.
"Why?" I said and let out a breath to ear.
"If i opened them, i can't hold myself back from crossing the line and maids shouldn't cross the line." Aria said.
"What if i say to you cross the line. Would you do it?" I asked while caressing her hair.
"I would cross the line with great joy master." Aria said with embarrassed tone.
"Too bad. It isn't time yet." I shook my head pityingly and walked to the undead daughter.
Aria let out the breath that she was unknowingly holding it from tension. Her heartbeat was fast, her breaths were heavy, her face was red. She was barely holding herself back, that is why i stopped my teasing early.
Undead girl's body were strong and durable, it was upgraded countless times. It's heart was beating in very slow rate, but it isn't breathing.
While i inspected this undead, a thought came to my mind.
'Isn't this undead look like vampire? It's pale skin, strong and durable body with it's low rate of heartbeat it like that of a vampire but it is defective one. Maybe i can try something to convert this undead to vampire. There isn't a vampire race in this world, so if i create one, shouldn't i became something like their god?'
Creating a new, strong race would be beneficial for me in the long run, but it's impossible to do it in few years. If i will try to make new race, it would take minumum 10 years.
Thus i decided to think this throughly.
"Aria take me and get out of this house." I said and Aria who calmed down for a bit did what i asked.
"Get me a big lively guy, i need to heal." I said.
Aria ran quickly and after 10 minutes, she came with unconscious big burly man.
"He is big one. I can heal all of my bones." I said while inspecting his body.
I thrust my index finger to his left chest and touched his heart.
I casted bloody healing and absorbed his life energy rapidly.
I inspected my body's condition. My broken bones were healed finely, thus i drank a healing potion and healed my other wounds.
"Aria come to this house later and dispose the corpses." I said.
Aria nodded slightly.
"Hold me Aria, we are going to teleport." I said and gestured her.
Aria wrapped her arms around of my chest and I started to chant a long range teleportation magic.
When my chant ended i found myself appearing front of the academy gates.
Well i couldn't teleport to inside of the academy that was protected by huge barrier.
Anyway we went to my room and dropped ourselves to my bed.
Aria wrapped her limbs around me like as alway and i fell asleep quickly because of my tired body.
