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

—–

Catarina slowly opened her eyes. They opened wide as she looked at me with her crimson-red pupils. Aside from her stitched body, she looked like she had recovered pretty well. Her body size, form, and compactness were just fine. Her limbs were all in the right places. She didn’t look half-bad either. It was as if her pale white skin had gained a new bluish tinge to it.

Well, maybe that means she wasn’t fine. After all, she was a zombie. I had not revived her from scratch or something. Also, I am kind of a Necromancer, not a priest with Revival spells. What I can do is limited to the death element, and I doubt I can really revive people unless they just died.

In such cases, I would ask Emeraldine to use her healing magic on the fresh corpse, and then I would just throw the corpse’s soul back to the recovered body.

But that could only work in recently deceased bodies. Anything over a day would be already rotting and ready to become a zombie rather than a living being.

In such cases… well, RIP.

And just like it happened here, Catarina was deader than dead, so the only way was to make her a Zombie.

And I never thought Vampires could become Zombies, seeing how they’re technically “undead.”

But they aren’t?

It’s weird. Although they have many Undead traits, they’re actually something like living beings with Undead traits.

So they can die if they’re killed, unlike Undead, where you have to make sure you blow them into pieces. Even shooting down the head of a zombie doesn’t work here.

Nonetheless, everyone is ruled by HP in this world thanks to the Soul Book, so even an Undead will fall after getting showered in blows.

The same with Vampires, as even though they have insane self-regeneration, as long as you can look at them and notice the differences, you will notice they’re actually alive.

And when killed and a corpse raises? Well, Vampire Zombies show up.

In the same way, there might be Elf Zombies, Beast-kin Zombies, Goblin Zombies, etc.

A zombie for every race in existence.

The girl was currently naked, but I only realized her stats were through the roof. She had a lot of power, even though she went from A-Rank to B-Rank after becoming a Zombie. She’ll have to train hard to regain her power, but she’s still useful now.

Her hair had turned purple with a hue of blue after the transformation, but her eyes remained crimson red. Her muscles had not deteriorated even after being Undead… I don’t know how that exactly works, but she’s just strong.

“Ugh… W-What are you looking at?” She asked while blushing a bit and covering her body parts.

“N-Nothing!”

We quickly averted our gazes, and I gave her some clothes.

“What’s with these clothes? Do you want me to wear a dress? Where are the pants? I want some tight pants, so I have no problems with them, and a white shirt if possible. Also, give me a black leather jacket too. The heels are ok, but I prefer boots. Do you got black boots?” She asked.

“Silvio, Francesco, why is she so picky with clothes?” I asked the two flame ghosts.

“W-Well, she always had this complex….” Said Silvio.

“She really likes to act and look masculine,” Said Francesco.

“Oh… I see so she abhors feminine stuff? Then why does she have long hair?” I asked.

“That’s just her preference. There are many males with long hair, so that trait doesn’t seem to have affected her…” Said Silvio.

“Indeed,” Nodded Francesco.

“Oooh! So she’s a tomboy! Damn, that’s such a snack then,” I said.

“T-Tomboy?” Muttered Silvio.

“Snack?” Wondered Francesco.

“N-Never mind, this world clearly had yet to embrace tomboys….” I said.

“What are you whispering behind my back?! And you two just became ghosts?! Where are your bodies?” She asked.

“We discarded them because bodies were so last season!” Said Silvio.

“Indeed, becoming one with our souls and embracing our purest forms is more like us,” Said Francesco.

“Well, that’s surprising, seeing how you two enjoyed the pleasures of the flesh so much,” Said Catarina with a cheeky smile.

“W-What are you talking about?!” Shouted Silvio.

“Catarina, don’t talk nonsense!” Exclaimed Francesco.

“Pleasures of the flesh?” I wondered while raising an eyebrow.

“I bet these two had spoken behind my back, right? Well, let me get back at them. These two are homos! They are into each other,” Laughed Catarina.

“Oh…” I said.

I discovered a little truth I wasn’t able to discern through their memories.

Should I have looked deeper then? There are various sections within a person’s mind and memories. There is the “Traumas” section, then there is the “Happy” Section, and then there are other minor sections such as “Sex” and stuff I didn’t care about.

I did the right thing. Although I kind of liked a few BL, I don’t know what I would have thought if I saw the two fucking.

Well, that would have been interesting now that I think about it…

Hmm, I can see Silvio being the passive one…

I looked at the two ghosts as they seemed to blush.

“T-That’s in the past!” Shouted Silvio.

“W-We love each other, but we were not homos!” Exclaimed Francesco.

“T-That’s right! It is just a brother’s bond. It is not something that… women can understand!” Silvio agreed.

“Indeed! Indeed!”

“And even then… we also liked women too! Like Maria-sama, we are devoted to you now!”

“You’re the moonlight that guides our path through the night sky,”

“Aww…” I said as they were cute sometimes with their corny words.

Lucifer, Emeraldine, and Partner were looking at the scene in silence. Lucifer, in specific, was like a dry fruit for some reason… Emeraldine was beginning to look dry as well. And Partner was the most normal of the three but was still frozen.

“What’s gotten into you three?” I asked.

“Th-There’s a lot to digest….” Said Lucifer.
