Inheriting the Power!
Michel was thunderstruck at what the Crazy necromancer said.
"You are saying that you are my father's father, I am your son's son...and my grandfather isn't my grandfather but you are my grandfather...wait what the hell?"
He just couldn't accept the fact that his normal family in the countryside were the descendants of the Crazy Necromancer.
"If that is true why didn't father tell me anything till now? then who is my gramps?"
His mind was filled with too many questions that he was having a hard time processing things!
{don't think about the things too much, kid}
He looked at the man in the gaseous form who was floating in the air.
{For you are my grandson, and that is the truth!}
"..."
{Now bow before the greatness of your grandfather and receive my power!}
"What!"
He found it odd that he had to bow in front of a soul to receive his power.
{You think I created all this for some petty reason or something? The power that I wielded, inherit that power}
"Isn't there anything like a test or something to test if I am worthy?"
As for as Michel was aware, the things like inheritance would have some kind of test or trial to assess if the individual is worthy enough to wield such power.
{Hahahah....why do I need something like that, you would be more than qualified if you are my grandson...hahaha}
Michel felt a bit offended somehow, but he just gave up thinking that arguing with a long-dead person's soul wouldn't look that good.
Besides, if he was indeed his grandfather then bowing before him wouldn't be a problem! But the problem was that his pride wouldn't allow him to bow before anyone!
"I refuse!"
{huh?}
"I refuse to bow before you"
{What....?}
It was the Crazy Necromancer who was surprised this time!
{Hey, kid! do you know who I am, If you just bow before me, you will get to wield the power of this great self}
He explained to the young man who was refusing to bow his head.
"So what? What if you are the Crazy Necromancer? what if I could gain so much power? if it means I have to lower my head in front of someone, then I don't need such power}
Michel was firm on his belief! He didn't budge even when the crazy necromancer himself asked him to bow before him!
{hahah...good...good!}
The crazy necromancer who was refused by a boy laughed as if he found the whole thing funny!
{hahahah...William that bastard! It seems like he had raised you excellently, that's right! You are my descendent, the descendent of the Death ruler, you should never bow before anyone! but...}
He smiled as he was content with what Michel said but his tone changed at the end.
{I am Shiva, The Ruler of the Eternal death!! How dare you say that you will not bow before me!!}
A huge pressure downed on Michel which instantly bought him to his knees!
Michel was prideful! But in front of the Crazy Necromancer, he was just an ant! a mere ant!
{Remember kid! A resolve without power is just a dream!}
Michel who was now completed prostrated on the ground heard him as he clenched his fist!
{If you are ashamed of this, then get strong! strong enough that no one will ever be able to make you kneel}
"Arhhhhhhh!!!"
Michel was too frustrated to answer him as he couldn't even move a single finger under that pressure! all he could do was scream in frustration!
But then a notification came informing him of something!
Ding!
[The dormant power of the 'Crazy Necromancer' is seeping into your body]
{Now that you have unsealed my soul, I don't have much time left!}
Michel looked up only to find that the gas that formed into a man was slowly dispersing!
{Listen closely! The power you receive here will only be a tiny speck of what I wielded! Even for me, keeping all my inheritance in one place without anyone knowing of it was impossible. So I divided my inheritance into 11 parts! from the 5th floor to the 55th floor, for every five floors, my inheritance is being guarded by my generals, I completely handed my inheritance to my eleven generals, so it is up to you, how you obtain them and get stronger. Remember, obtain as much power as you can! don't be a fool like me and recruit some strong and reliable members who would fight alongside you and watch your back! because it is not too far into the future that history is going to repeat....}
That was the last sentence he said as the soul was depressed completely, not finishing his sentence about what was going to repeat again!
[The last part of the Crazy Necromancer that had stayed dormant has left the World!]
The notification also informed him of the departure of the Crazy necromancer but he was not in the state to read that as a steep pain was starting to form all over his body!
Ding!
[You will now be inheriting the Power of Crazy Necromancer]
The pain started to increase in intensity!
"Ahhhh!!!"
He held onto his head and collapsed on the ground not being able to bear the extreme pain that was resulting due to a black gas entering his body!
"ugh....!!!"
The pain was too unbearable like someone was poking needles all around his body and as if his bones were being crushed by a hammer, every second felt like an eternity!
He endured hoping that the pain would subdue but converse to his thought the pain didn't reduce but only increased in intensity!
Michel thought as if his body was giving up and shortly afterward, he lost consciousness!
Ding!
[Congratulation! You have successfully inherited the power of Crazy Necromancer!]
[....!]
[You have found the truth about your grandfather!]
[The title 'One who doesn't know himself' triggers!]
The notifications were going on without rest but there was no one in the empty cave to read them!
