I Became The Academy Necromancer chapter 4

4. Predators

4. Predators

Deia is leaving.

In the silence that came back, I first cleaned up the spilled tea.

The tea spread irregularly on the floor looked like the form of Deia’s anger.

‘It’s hard to deal with that type from long ago.’

A sigh comes out.

Even when I was in school in the past, it was difficult to deal with people who had strong emotions or who had a large difference in height.

Because it felt completely opposite.

But to my shame, there were also people who felt stuffy and forced themselves to leave me out of boredom, or even got angry.

‘It’s true that I did something wrong this time.’

No, it’s Deus’ fault, not mine, but I’ve taken over his body.

I can’t help it.

Personally, I also wanted to build a new relationship with Deia, so I thought of accepting such complaints if possible.

You can see it as the meaning of releasing the resentment you learned while dealing with the ghosts.

‘It’s family.’

Her relationship with her family in her previous life could not be said to be good even with empty words.

Shameless maternal grandmother.

A mother who hated her maternal grandmother so much.

My mother hated the fact that I could see ghosts, and she sent me to my grandmother’s house because she said that I could only live up to my name if I became a shaman.

Even so, my dad who often came to see me.

I don’t know the details, but my dad was working as the manager of a large factory.

Every time such a father came to visit me, the number of ghosts who appeared to be employees behind him increased one by one.

Being young at the time, I asked about it without thinking.

Daddy stopped looking for me with a terrified look on his face.

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t lonely.

If you don’t have fantasies about your family, that too is just fooling yourself to the point of being ridiculous.

“This time, maybe we can do a little better.”

With that promise, I clear the car, make up my mind, and sit down again.

I don’t have to go to work, I don’t have to prepare for lectures, but I’m still busy.

‘It’s a pity that I couldn’t bring the things I was researching.’

If I had known this would happen, I would not have used the tools provided by the academy.

All of the research achievements were furnishings from the academy, so I had no choice but to leave them behind.

‘Even if it costs money, I’ll have to use my personal items.’

Having said that, it wasn’t financially prosperous either.

Even as I vowed to do so in the future if I simply had money, I spread my palms and began calling mana onto them.

The bluish mana that bubbling and popping up like bubbles soon turned black.

The purple mana that started coming together made a beautiful circle.

The important thing is the white light inside the sphere. The light surrounded by black mana, like the sediment of rice cakes, was the embodiment of the soul.

whose?

Of course it is mine.

‘To be precise, mana is protecting the soul.’

In this world, it was called black magic.

On this continent, black magic is a subject to be avoided, and it is a discipline that should not be learned recklessly, but I had no choice but to learn it.

Because the body of Deius, who has no talent to the point of being pitiful, can’t be of any help in preventing the disaster that will come to this continent.

No matter how hard I try, in all other parts, the main character’s colleagues are upward compatible.

For example, when it comes to simple magic, it’s not even comparable to my fiancée, Erica Bright.

Because she is a lumber that can reach the realm of being a great mage.

Even financially, the Verdi family is not very special.

Only in the northern periphery do they live with pride, and when viewed by the central nobility, they are nothing more than one of the goofballs.

At the very least, they are treated well because they stop foreigners from raiding the frontier.

The way I could help the main character, to be precise, to survive in this Mangem, was black magic.

In that respect, I am full of talent.

I want to get into it and get it right here.

Deius Verdi didn’t have talent, but a human named ‘Kim Shin-woo’ was overflowing with talent.

In black magic, there were countless magics dealing with the dead, such as necromancer and curses.

A study aimed at inflicting pain on others, cursing them, and completely destroying them.

Because it was a study created only for selfishness, it was forbidden by law in the kingdom, but it was not difficult to obtain it because it was possible to trade secretly in the city where Lovern was located.

‘I have learned the basics of necromancy.’

All people who live on this continent have a little bit of mana accumulated in their bodies.

Because mana was mixed in the air of the continent.

If you can accumulate more of them than anyone else, and if you can change them within yourself, then that is a magician.

In a word, it is safe to say that people will live in mana for the rest of their lives.

Is it simply soaked in mana?

no.

Human souls also live their entire lives soaked in mana, and the necromancy I want to use is based on this.

[Kel kel kel! Verdi’s asshole! You’re back!]

[Let’s see how she curses at her younger sister right away!]

[It’s obvious! You’re a crazy bastard who wants to have sex with your younger sister!]

[Ku-k-k-k-k! It’s because I showed Deia naked in this bastard’s dream!]

[Where did you learn to ask your sister to suck it just because you showed it!]

Damn demons roaming around noisily.

‘I’ve thought about it for a long time, but there are too many ghosts in this mansion.’

I don’t know what the Verdi family did, but there were so many ghosts that it could be called a psychic spot.

“Whoa.”

It worked.

Before I did anything like this, Sk’Al came to me in advance.

There was no need to fool a useful ghost.

A hand stretches out from the black sphere enveloping my soul on the palm.

Knock!

I precisely snatched one of the spirits that hovered around me and laughed at each other.

It was the guy who showed Deia naked in a dream.

[kiek! What, what!]

[Now, did you get caught?]

The other demons were also surprised, but the expression on the face of the captured one was the most impressive.

I clenched my fist as if twisting it.

Quadruped!

[Quaaa!]

A gruesome shriek surrounds the entire mansion. Isn’t she a very good soprano vocalist?

Although, no one can hear the living.

It would be a noise that disturbs the rest of the dead.

“Gather.”

Ghosts who heard screams from walls, floors and ceilings.

Among them, there were those who simply could not leave and wandered, but unfortunately most of them were evil spirits.

[Verdi! Verdi! Verdi!]

There was also a guy who just called me by his family name.

[Can’t I just chew my hand once?]

[I-I like the tongue.]

There were also cannibals.

[Serious! How dare you disturb my rest!]

[Verdi’s crazy? Ha, a man who has no dignity as an aristocrat has returned.]

There were also those who looked like nobles.

All the spirits who were quietly resting or looking for an opportunity gathered in the room.

[Did Verdi’s idiot, who only coveted women without talent, come back?]

[Why didn’t you tell me? How fun it is to enter this bastard’s dream!]

[Kel kel kel! Let’s have fun again, Deus!]

[I should pee once while sleeping!]

I don’t notice because they’re dead.

Can’t you see the soul caught in mana right now?

“I am not the Deus you knew.”

As if I didn’t know how to answer, the eyes of the ghosts are looking at me wrigglingly.

During the three months I lived in the family, I pretended not to see the ghosts, just like in my previous life.

But now you don’t have to.

“The soul contains mana.”

That is why supernatural phenomena performed by ghosts materialize.

“To put it the other way around.”

The captured evil spirits are absorbed and disappear.

A black light sphere made of mana was swirling in the palm of my hand.

“It means that all of you are a mass of mana with a will.”

[Eh, run away!]

The quick-witted noble spirit immediately turned around, but it was too late.

The moment you entered this room, your future was gone.

The dead are beautiful only when they are dead.

With a fishy sneer, I gave strength to my hands and declared.

“Those wastes that I thought were useless, at least one of them is helpful.”

Souls begin to be sucked into the sphere. They were screaming to run away, but they couldn’t overcome the suction power and were sucked into the sphere.

I feel mana rising from my whole body. The fading power of those who handled mana like wizards or knights in their lifetime came back as sweet as gourmet food.

An action that cannot be done to the souls of the academy.

“Although it has shrunk somewhat.”

Is it because the mana of the ghosts dwells with me?

I thought all the ghosts in the mansion were visiting, but it wasn’t at all.

Rather, the guys who came were nothing more than babbling evil spirits.

“You pathetic bastards.”

Clenching my fists, I declared.

“I will eat them all.”

    Damn a whole chapter worth of comments

  2. Dirty Old Man says:

    I remember in the novel «Kidnap Dragons» or something, Earth was destroyed because young dragons from other world could not enjoy(amuse) themselves. Like who would hold his enjoyment above someone’s else’s suffering or death? Only stupid kids or psychopaths without empathy.

  3. Uh so THESE DAMN BASTARDS TOOK ALL MY EORDS WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY NOW?

  4. Enoh says:

    He knows the plot of the game is a bad end so of course hes going to try and fix it. Who the hell would walk into a bad situation and say its not my problem when you know everythings going to god badly unless you a nihilist.

  5. SenatorArmstrong says:

    Lol your rant is actually fine @Baka100. @Rami is just in an edgelord phase. Its easier said than done for the MC to ignore the wrongs of the body that the character possessed unless they’re a full blown psychopath.

    Lets put it in this way: So lets say you possessed this dumb evil bastard who killed and raped people. You are not that bastard and you actually want to commit good, but the wrongs that he had committed will never go away. And since you possessed the body of said bastard, its only natural for everyone else to shit on you. They don’t know you are literally a different person, of course they will hate you. And it is only natural for you to feel like you also did wrong to others. It might sound nonsense, but its called empathy. You are sickened by the acts of the person who you possessed, and it is natural for you to feel bad for others. Its called being a good but naive person.

    Now lets say we did as @Rami said. You try to ignore what other people says and just focus on your happiness and ignore everything else. You think that its just that easy? In the real world, it is never like that. If you only focus on your happiness regardless of others thoughts and opinion, thats called being a sociopath. And he kinda lost me when he said “Who gives a fuck about the plot”. The plot is the directory of the novel.

  6. Dissidius says:

    That’s fine. Sometimes you just need to release it all out to protect one’s sanity. Venting is actually healthy, albeit it moderation. Anyway, if you’re new with KR novels, you have to understand now that they tend to be masochistic in nature. They always try to force melodrama to the MCs as if it’s a matter of fact. Suffering is like a drug for these KR novelists. I’ve seen many lighthearted KR novels where it’s so great in the early half that you would honsetly rate it a 10/10 then they decide to let shit hit the fan in the second half of the novel for the forced feels.

  7. Baka100 says:

    My deepest apologies for my rant. I didn’t mean to offend someone but I really just need to release what I’m feeling right now. If I did offend someone, I’m really sorry for what I’ve done. Of course, if you didn’t read it cause it’s too long, it’s completely fine, for those who read it and does not agree with me, feel free to criticize me. I’m open to listen (or read in this case) to other’s take on this matter
    Again, I’m really sorry for making you read this long text of mine.

  8. Baka100 says:

    Why would a human being willing to suffer for another’s fault?
    He’s not willing, but he can’t help it! Literally!

    Like bruh!
    Imagine the bully who tormented you, threatened you, for many years, and suddenly he said that he’s a good person now. Would I believe that? No! Because if I just accepted that, then all of my sufferings would be in vain. I can’t just go “Oh? The one who bullied me is now good? Sweet, you’re my friend now.” No, my resentment will be not that cheap

    Now, the person in the Bully’s body will change his ways. But does that erase everything the previous bully did? No! The current bully will suffer because of the past that the previous bully did!

    Imagine someone got framed for something that would destroy their name, he can’t just go “It’s ok since the most important thing for me is my happiness and enjoyment.” Will he easily achieve that? No! because humans are social beings, he would need to clear his name first, but he has no evidence and can’t clear it so he has no option but to live with it!
    He can’t just go “F*ck everything” and go his own way. Why? Because he’s infamous for things that he didn’t do! People would avoid him. The public will hate him. People would try to kill him for revenge for something that he “did not do”

    I do agree that the most important thing is their Happiness and Enjoyment, but that would be hard to achieve since he has a bad reputation that he didn’t wish for in the first place! That’s why he can’t help it!

    “Who cares if I reincarnated to someone who committed several crimes?” The people around him will care

    And about the plot? Mc probably is just someone who cares about people not dying. It’s like the trolley problem but if he pulls the lever, no one will die. He can just let it go tho, but the guilt that he will feel if he just let those people die might leave a bad taste in his mouth.

    Now his family, can we blame them? …I don’t know? I still don’t know the way the family treated the original owner, but asking his sister to have s*x with him is just bad, no matter how I think about it. But now MC has to live with that reputation until he clears it

    Or he can just leave, change his identity change his appearance with something (Idk, this is a fantasy world), and go live somewhere where people that know the original owner can’t reach him and achieve his enjoyment and happiness if that’s what you mean
    But of course, that plan will only last until someone found him and spread his crimes to the place he is currently living in
    Then he is going to run again, and again, and again, and I don’t think he will be able to achieve that Enjoyment and happiness that you’re talking about

  9. Shadow says:

    He kinda us working for his enjoyment, since one can only enjoy when he is not dead(probably). And there are nice people in the world too you know, like frey roan starlight etc.

  10. Rami says:

    Oh God. It pisses me off so much.

    Like why, WHY?!
    Why would a human being willing to suffer for another’s fault. I understand that the mc possessed the bastard’s body, but so what?
    Who cares about that
    Who cares about the original body owner’s family
    Who cares about the f*cking plot

    “I can’t help it” he said
    You can f*cking help it you stupid piece of sh*t

    The most important thing should be your own f*cking happiness and enjoyment
