Translator: Wisteria Editor: Silavin It has been quite a while since I have been outside. The last few years of my life before were mostly spent in bed. So it must be around five or six years since I have been into town. The sunlight pouring down from the sky pricked my skin. The hunt happened almost always at night, so it’s been a while since I have been outside during the day. However, that does not mean I am out of commission in daytime. The…-

Translator: Wisteria Editor: Silavin We picked up what had been requested and made our way towards the exit of the town. Huck was very surprised when he saw me with Roux but he didn’t say anything. He has a generally favourable impression since despite his shady business, he has a principle of not prying into his clients’ affairs. The object that the Lord had requested was wrapped in a thick cloth, so I could not tell what it actually was. Except that it…

Translator: Wisteria Editor: Silavin Beautiful hair made of fine silver strands. Deep purple eyes like the amethyst. She was, not yet twenty… but I suppose in her late teens. Her skin was pale, but not sickly like Roux's. Her refined features gave her an intelligent air. She had the kind of beauty that would have had me bewitched if not for the current circumstances. She was shorter than me and looked very dainty, but the energy I felt radiating from her was more…

Translator: Wisteria Editor: Silavin The courtyard of the Lord’s mansion. The moon shone peacefully in the night sky. I spin around and use the centrifugal force to swing my machete. The Skeleton Knight who is on alert, poised for defense, uses inhuman strength to ward off the blow, by retreating a few steps back and cleverly maneuvering the sword it held in both hands. I could sense the weight of training and experience that went behind that single move. The…

Translator: Wisteria Editor: Silavin The Lord looked ghastly. His aura was so evil that it felt repulsive even to an undead like me. And as a consequence, Roux looked even more fretful than usual. She mindlessly assisted the Lord as he yelled out the instructions. On the other hand, my duties remained much the same. Which did not include more combat training, but as per the Lord’s order, to accumulate as much negative energy as possible. The package we…

Translator: Wisteria Editor: Silavin The bear yelps out in pain and keels over. I simply keep swinging the machete down at the half-dead bear with all my might. My blade strikes relentlessly and tears through the thick coat of the bear and proceeds to hack at its flesh. The blood spatters everywhere but my hand doesn’t stop. My body is moving on its own. I am witnessing everything that is happening, from a distance, separated from my own body. The blood spatters onto…

Translator: Wisteria Editor: Silavin I am no stranger to counting down the hours. If I could have wished for anything, it would be a clock. Although I can’t tell the time of the day yet, I am already aware of Lord Horus’ daily routine. To be more precise, rather than his routine,what I had figured out was when he visits this particular room. He always visits the morgue well after dark. There have been no exceptions thus far. If my calculations…

Translator: Wisteria Editor: Silavin I maneuver a long, disproportionate arm that is already accustomed to using the machete, to slay a monster monkey that jumps out of a tree overhead. The sweet smell of blood fills the air and the woods grow quiet. I wonder if the monkeys sitting up high on the treetops, observing the fight realized that the opponent was too out of their league. They let out a strange call and hightailed it deep into the woods. A body that can freely…

Translator: Wisteria Editor: Silavin I can feel the power surging through my body. I truly wonder how long it has been since I was given new life. The Lord has started to regard me with strong suspicion. “...There is still no change…hmph…even though he should have already gotten a lot stronger…” At the laboratory. After our daily hunting routine was over and done with, the Lord quietly groaned and looked at my face. I presumed the face of a…

Translator: Wisteria Editor: Silavin Considering the fact that I can evolve and excluding the risk that I could have my freedom stripped, these are the best circumstances I could ever ask for right now. However, I could feel that ‘the time’ for my mutiny was drawing close. The seed of suspicion will no doubt keep growing bigger inside his mind. Even though the Lord dismissed Roux’s words as lies, they must surely keep pricking him in deep recesses of his…
