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

—–

From the little time Maria had spent with her, she realized she was a very innocent and cute girl… How could she even be a Living Catastrophe?

The only thing Maria feared from her was her cuteness, which was making her have the strong urge to adopt her…

Loki had never seen such a Living Catastrophe behave like this before, so he had grown more interested in Maria and apologized to her deep down for having underestimated her as someone interesting but still superficially bland.

O h, h ow wrong he was…

After having received the title of Saint of Death, I was sucked by Hel into her realm and then spit out rather rapidly after, without any proper explanation other than her telling me to take care of myself as if she were my new mother or something.

Seriously, I can take care of myself, Hel, thank you very much.

And the whole thing about flirting with her… I take it back, please. Let’s not make misunderstandings here. I am already with my hands full with three wonderful love candidates, one of which I had already kissed! I don’t need more.

The Harem Tag was already added to the story. We don’t need to make it more convoluted, please.

But for now, we decided to settle down and take the day off.

I had decided to relax while keeping a watchful eye around for any spider friends that might want to join our dear Pyro, but it seemed that there were none. They were scared or simply not wandering around these areas anymore.

The trip to our destination will begin tomorrow in the morning. We’ll go all the way down to the south of the continent, where the temperatures get pretty cold, and there’s even snow sometimes in the year. This is because this area of the continent is close to another continent filled with ice and snow, Niflheim.

Asgard is usually a continent without any extreme environments. It is all grasslands, mountains, forests, jungles, and so on, but at the corners of the continent is where things get a bit more extreme as the continent gets closer to other continents, which are extreme.

To the north, things get hotter instead because the continent is closer to Muspelheim, a land of volcanic landmasses, dry deserts, and hot and damp jungles.

Therefore, I have to guess things get pretty uncomfortable there, but fear not! We are not going there or something, so there shouldn’t be anything to fear for.

And even then, we are mostly Undead, so we’ll be fine in any environment.

Although those with physical bodies might experience rotting fast if it gets too hot.

But! We might leave that expedition for another day, I do want to visit jungles, deserts, and more, but for now, we’ll go to the south and chill with the snow. We’ll make snowmen, build igloos, tame penguins, hunt orcas, and all of that.

It’ll be fun!

All while we slowly make a small village with the protection of the ruins from the Demon Kingdom feels good.

It feels like my life is finally going somewhere after all this time being a ghost.

Yeah, I am pretty happy.

After what we did for those souls, I feel pretty lighthearted.

I could even kiss someone.

…Yeah, I better not do that.

But for now, what’s better than chillaxing in the snow and everything? Maybe I could even make something like snowmen raised through Fake Life! I know that Fake Life works with inanimate objects and might raise inanimate undead, such as Skeletons, Haunted Weapons, or even a Haunted House or something… so there are many possibilities.

I kind of want something new, but we’ll see what can come out of it. I was thinking of something nice like a giant snow golem and call it Frost! But wouldn’t I need a strong core too? I can make it, but it’ll need some nice support.

Hmmm… A-Anyways, enough of that.

We did some stuff throughout the day, mostly cleaning, preparing, packing things up, foraging for any herbs or edible mushrooms we could find around before leaving, and hunting for fresh meat.

I had once thought about eating the spiders by boiling them, but it’s better if we didn’t. They might bring diseases again, so the corpses of the zombie spiders were disinfected intensively, and the rest were put inside my inventory until I needed them later.

And like this, the day went by as usual…

Well, things are not normal anymore, to be honest.

After what happened with Emeraldine, our relationship had become a bit awkward.

Ugh, I knew we shouldn’t have kissed, but the passion of the moment got the better of us.

But now, it feels awkward… we are in some sort of relationship but not really…

I mean, we kissed so lovingly, and it’s clear we feel strong feelings for one another, but the uncertainty is eating us alive, and the sense that we have to slowly wait and know each other better is also hitting us hard.

We are trying our best to act as we did before that day, but things are clearly not going to go back… After that day, we clearly can’t see each other the same way after all.

Emeraldine was already beautiful before, but now she’s so pretty to me. She’s stunning. I just want to hold her hand and protect her and whisper to her pointy ears how cute she is.

And her pointy ears, oh god, they’re so cute. Elves are so god damn cute. She’s so cute… I…

Ugh. This is really love, isn’t it?

God almighty, save me from this predicament.

As a harem protagonist, the only thing I must do is romance the others to balance it out…

Sigh.

It’s gonna be hard, but I know Emeraldine is doing her best to resist as well.

“Master, what’s wrong?” asked Partner.

“You’ve been looking very weird lately. Are you doing alright?” asked Lucifer.
