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

-----

Although they spoke weird names and words I had no idea what they meant contextually, such as "Tower", "Kings of the Void", "Ancient Ones and Awakened Ones", and even whatever they meant by an "Illusion".

I am fairly sure these damn Gods are all real, and Hel too, these conflicts are happening, they're not an Illusion… But maybe this Tower or whatever, and the Kings of the Void, might have something to do with these Gods.

And perhaps the true origin of the Gods lies within these words. I tried asking them for more information, but they were in an extreme state of euphoria and panic, and were unable to answer properly, continuously talking words I couldn't understand.

"T-The world will break apart!"

"You will see THEM…!"

"T-They…! NO!"

"Odin, that bastard… Traitor!"

"The Murim's Heavenly Demon…"

"Ymir's Death!"

"The Void Beyond the Skies…"

"Please… Ugh…"

"Okay, just rest for now." I waved my hand, using my power over the dead to force them to sleep, and then placed them inside my Shadow Realm.

"Were those ghosts?" Asked Lucifer. "What were they even talking about?"

"Something that has only made me begin to doubt… Everything about this world." I sighed. "But they were just words at the end, once they calm down and rest, maybe we can ask them what the hell they were talking about."

"Right…" Emeraldine seemed slightly creeped by the ghosts. "Ah, I remember you rescued a dragon from the Warlocks! How is she?"

"Violet?" I asked. "Yes, she's recovering fine. Her soul has finally calmed down, her body has gone back to almost normal too. But if I try to forcefully wake her up, I fear I might inhibit her or something… It would be better to let her rest as much as possible."

"You're not wrong…" Lucifer nodded. "I am just happy she has recovered. She can take as much as she wants to recover, haha. Ah, I miss Brunhild now. I wish that woman could have accompanied us in this journey. Did she really had to stay with the damn dwarves?"

"Well, now that know they're her descendants, there's little we can do about that." I shrugged. "She cares about them, and they might even try to make her their Queen after that big revelation. More importantly, let's head back to the city. I want to stay on a fancy inn again."

After cleaning the entire ruins of every little broken thing I found, and many precious ores I had never seen before, perhaps from ancient times, we moved back to another fancy Noble district Inn.

Today was sure a long day, we hunted a lot of monsters and secured tons of items too, but there's no rest for me. While I was sleeping over a comfy bed while being cuddled by Emeraldine and Partner, within my Shadow Realm, there was a huge forge I had placed there from my Inventory.

Constantly, I was using all my available tools to continue forging and enhancing the items. Emeraldine's bow and Partner's spears were getting enhanced right in this moment.

I decided to use the many materials I picked up for that, the scales of the drake bosses, and some dust from A+++ Rank monster cores. For Emeraldine, I decided to fuse a few precious jewels I found in those ruins.

They were named Crescent Soul Stones and Life Crystals, which were from an "otherworldly" origin, according to the description.

The first stone, according to the little description I could squeeze out, originated from a world called "Murim", for some weird reason! And the Life Crystals from a world called "Avalon"…

The other items were all the same, they originated from different realms, worlds, and what not. I tried squeezing as much lore as I could, but only found the most basic information and the origin.

But with all this info, there's at least… over ten other worlds I had no idea of their existence. Are they somehow connected to Yggdrasil?

Are they connected to Earth too, where I come from?

All these questions started popping up inside of my heads as I made my best to enchant the equipment.

What is this damn Tower?

What are the Kings of the Void?!

Ugh, so many questions!

The worst part was that the Pharaoh and Uller had no idea either. Uller lacked all his memories, and the Pharaoh wasn't as ancient as the ghosts.

"Can't you just read their damn minds?" Asked Uller.

"Can't…" I sighed. "They're Ancient Chaos Ghosts, they're surprisingly strong too, their minds can't be read no matter how hard I try. If I do it too hard, they might end up having their souls broken, so I stopped after a while. They're actually S- Rank! Surprising… They are already technically "tamed" somewhat, so they won't be aggressive but… I wonder if I could ever help them out."

"They will prove to be a valuable asset; Phantasmal and Spiritual beings are good for the powerful Spirit Magic!" Said Uller. "You already gain a lot of power when I merge with you, imagine all these guys… Hehehe."

"Hm, well, I am still missing more Spirits too. Where can I even find Death, Poison, or Darkness Spirits? I only have the lame Uller with me." I sighed.

"True Spirits that aren't Ghosts?" Wondered the Pharaoh. "They are truly rare, even more if you want some strong enough Spirits. But I did feel some Spiritual Energy from afar, to the east. There must be some buried or ancient sanctuary. Perhaps you should take a look later, master."

"Oh, you have spiritual senses of that caliber?" I wondered. "Not bad! Alright, I guess I'll check that out later then. For now, let's concentrate in this…"

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

I kept using the materials and enchanting the weapons. At one point I smelted the whole spears of Partner because they were having problems and remade them again.

When the sun finally rose and it pierced through the window, the amazing new weapons for my wifeys were finally done.
