Only I Am a Necromancer

Chapter 511: Age After Ending (25)

About two hours have passed since ‘superintelligence’ appeared.

“We’ve exactly 12 hours and 30 minutes left!”

The World Tree camp got busy again.

“All units, check your command system!”

Almost all the forces of the World Tree camp were gathering at the Wormhole Research Center. They were preparing to fight.

Sungwoo, standing on the towering control tower in the center of the island, was looking down on the whole island. With the Hypergates opening in real-time, all kinds of weapons and players poured out.

Junghoon, who was standing next to him, shook his head.

“I can’t believe what’s happening right now.”

In the next 12 hours and 30 minutes, something amazing will happen.

A ‘game’ begins in Earth Zero. And the World Tree camp jumps into the game.

“Honestly, it’s thrilling…” he said.

This would be their best revenge.

Sungwoo said, nodding at him, “I was surprised, too. I didn’t know things would work out like this. It would be strange if we knew it in advance.”

Who would have thought that a god-like being, naturally born in the network, would offer them such an opportunity?

‘If it’s the rules of the game, we have an advantage. No game developer is better than a player.’

Sungwoo and the World Tree camp players survived this hellish game and saw the ending, so weren’t they the best masters of the game in a way?

‘Besides, they don’t even know the game is about to start soon.’

Those on Earth Zero were allegedly preparing to take revenge on Sungwoo and his allies after they were devastated by Sugwoo’s hydrogen bombs.

Because of that, they abolished the use of nanorobots in Earth Zero, which was legally restricted. Instead, they activated the nanorobots as much as possible to recover the damage caused by the hydrogen bombs.

‘They made another big mistake.’

If the nanorobots were distributed throughout Earth Zero, it meant that they laid the foundation for the use of the game. As a result, ‘superintelligence’ could hack into the system of Earth Zero and open the ‘game’ in their world.

The voice, or the superintelligence, asked after explaining their plan.

“Wouldn’t this be more pleasing to you, too?”

Sungwoo nodded at his question.

‘Yeah, I like what you’re planning to do.’

It would be much better for the superintelligence to have them go through ‘ordeals’ rather than ‘judging’ them in person like the real God.

“I guess we’re going to have more satisfying results…”

He knew it would be the best ending.

***

An unknown place in the darkness of an underground cave.

Crackle! Crackle!

There was a strange noise out there.

Crackle! Crackle!

It was the sound of something hitting.

“Yes, Master. Crackle! Yes! I can hear it well. Crackle! Please give me the order. Yes, yes, yes! Okay, then…”

Two green eyes glowed in the darkness. They were the eyes of the dead.

“Got it.”

The owner of those eyes was Lich.

Crackle! Crackle!

He slowly rose from a stone throne. Then he stared intently into the darkness where he couldn’t see anything. His chin slowly opened.

“Listen, everyone! The time has finally come!”

His voice echoed.

“Crackle! Wake up from your eternal sleep, all warriors of the dead! Our master has finally called us! Crackle! It’s time for us to rise as the waves of death and hit them with disaster!”

It was none other than Victor who uttered such a grandiose line.

When he shouted, there was whispering here and there at the end of the cavern amid the glowing torches. There was an office there.

Dozens of desks, about twenty computers, and even people wearing black robes, sitting on chairs and typing keyboards. Even though it was installed in a gloomy and damp cave, it was a perfect office.

“Manager, our director is shouting at us now. Aren’t you supposed to go and see him?”

The middle-aged man who was dozing off at his desk frowned. He got up scratching his neck with a skull-shaped ring.

“Huh? Director? Damn it! What does he want this time?”

The director was Victor. This gloomy cave was so-called ‘the morgue’, and Victor served as the head of this place for the past year.

“Director, have you called me?”

The manager came over and asked Victor.

Victor flashed his eyes and nodded.

“Well, it’s time to attack. Get ready now!”

“Pardon? Attack? Then can we finally get out of this gloomy cave?”

Victor nodded with a hearty laugh.

“Yes! My priests!”

When he answered, the morgue staff cheered. Because of the nature of their job, they had no other choice but to get stuck in this dark cave forever.

“Man, what a relief! I’ve been itching to get out!”

“You’ve just come back from vacation, right?”

“I know, but I hate this place because it’s too dark here.”

“I don’t like it either. Damn it, I wish I had not chosen that occupation card…”

The guys who chatted like this were players. Their occupation was ‘death priest’, which could be seen as a subclass of the necromancers.

Sungwoo gathered them and formed a secret organization. The so-called ‘morgue’ was just a disguised name for their real purpose. Their main task was to accumulate a large army of undead in a hidden place.

“Manager Park, let me give you order with the authority of my master. Open all the sealed doors and mobilize the undead soldiers!”

Before becoming a member of Sungwoo’s subordinate spirits, Victor once maintained several ‘death priests’ when he was the ‘monster king’ in the Kaesong area, so he had experience in commanding thousands of zombie corps.

And now he could control much more zombie troops than before.

“The day has finally come when the Army of Death that we have cultivated until now will finally see the light of day! By the way, Manager Park! Report to me how many troops are currently available!”

“Oh, wait a minute. Manager Kim, do you have that troop status table?”

Then, Manager Kim turned his head and looked at another staffer.

“Hey, deputy manager Lee! Did you hear it?”

Deputy Manager Lee pressed the Ctrl + P button to print the ‘Undead (decoration) status table’.

Weeeeng- Weeeeng-

He printed out the Excel sheet and gave it to Victor.

But Victor couldn’t read the characters.

“Um, yes, I see. You guys have gathered a lot of them. Great. Keep it well, so I can give it to our master.”

Shortly afterward, the sound of an iron door opening inside the cave was heard.

And a very familiar sound echoed very slowly.

Rattle! Rattle!

The sound of bones hitting against each other filled the cave.

Rattle! Rattle!

With hundreds of thousands of eyes glowing inside the cave, they began to slowly get out of the cave.

Somewhere in Earth Zero.

“Ugh? What the heck is this?”

“Can you see this, too?”

– What’s the best job to survive in a ruined world? Choose one right now.

Those humans on Earth Zero, who indulged in entertainment and pleasure, began to see strange characters in their eyes.

The creators of this game, namely, GMs, called their world ‘Earth Zero.’

Earth Zero meant that it was nothing but the first one out of so many worlds.

But the idea of Earth ‘centrism’ made the whole people living there exclusive and violent. Furthermore, it made them forget about humanitarianism.

As a result, they plundered and slaughtered human beings in other worlds ranging from Earth 1 to Earth 38, and what’s more, they toyed with them.
