As Veronica and Ervas brought back Nidhogg and Ivy from their daily spar outside of the Kingdom, there was a special 'Undead meeting' going on in the walls within the Igni Kingdom's Castle.

​​

This meeting was something that Ervas and Veronica had come out with for Undead to express the feelings that they often have dulled, while also trying to recall their memories through stimulation such as conversations. It was also a place where any Undead that was clueless about their true self could come to ask guidance and help, as Ervas and Veronica's main bodies couldn't be always ready to attend to any undead in need.

Since Veronica and Ervas acquired the Death Attribute Charm Skills that they had begun to call upon hundreds of Dead Spirits and because many of them desired to serve them in many ways, they ended up becoming Undead Monsters of all kinds, shapes, and forms.

These Undead took upon a sizable amount of the population of the Igni Kingdom, although many were made into Cursed Equipment, and Ervas and Veronica were still discussing if they should be considered into the number of citizens.

However, although not many zombies had been raised, there were still a few dozens of them, alongside skeletons, and even living armors. Most of them being of those that had fallen at hands of Oggoth before Veronica and Ervas showed up in the forest, such as the fallen rabbit-kin people captured by Oggoth and killed inside his wicked dungeon.

Such people had many choices, most of them choosing to become undead inside their revitalized and healed corpses, while some others wanted to become stronger faster, such as Pekoran, who became a different type of Living Armor, a Living Armory.

Alongside Pekoran, there was Axe-chan, who had received an update from Anna and had become a Magic Cursed Axe, capable of exerting the power of wind blades, electricity, and even secrete poison through the upgrades given to her by the ingots made by Veronica's armor and weapons produced with her Armory Skill.

There was also Goliath, who had been revived inside the corpse of a Giant Goblin, although he used to be a former Human Adventure that was called the 'Steel Fist' due to his steel-like fists and great unarmed fighting technique.

And also, there were a few ghosts such as Ozgeth and Legion, alongside the patchwork zombie Draconia.

Alongside these famous Undead, a few skeletons were wearing black armor, living armors with their phantom form in the appearance of rabbit-kin males who wanted to follow Pekoran's path and a few ghosts.

"I used to be a good fighter! They called me the Steel Fist! I was so famous with such a nickname that I cannot even find what was my real name… and I don't even know how long I've been dead, so it's harder to browse through memories long forgotten… Ervas-sama said that I should keep ranking up and as my soul were to develop, my mind would become smarter… But if we talk about Ranking up there is another problem then! Why am I still a Goblin?! Although I gained the Ogre in my race title… I am still a Goblin?! Like, come on! I don't even look like one anymore, right?" said Goliath, the Steel Fist, a giant, twenty-meters tall, red-skinned giant with a body packed with muscles and an ugly, goblin-like face. Despite the appearances, he was a nice guy admired by many.

"Well, we all have it rough at times, isn't it? Haha, although I cannot really say that after ranking up so much… I feel like I've become something completely new now!" said Pekoran as he spoke through the phantom materialization of his previous life appearance inside a five-meters tall armored body that was made out of many armor parts such as torsos being the arms and legs, and helmets covering all around the body like spikes, he looked rather intimidating for a Living Armor- Armory, but his followers, the rabbit-kin that decided to become Living Armors to follow him, saw him as an example to follow.

"It sure is rough… though, do you not feel weird having a completely different body than before?" asked Goliath to Pekoran.

"Oh? Me? Absolutely not! I feel like I have simply flourished into a new being, it simply feels… it feels quite good, wonderful even. With such power and defenses, I can finally protect my beloved family with all of my might and without restraints… This is the gift that Veronica-sama has given to me" said Pekoran.

"Draaaaaaa…" groaned Draconia while nodding, who did not know how to speak due to not having memories of her previous life, she had the mind of a toddler.

"Indeed, just as Draconia-chan says, we should be grateful for the wonderful second chances that our lords had given to us… Lady Veronica has given me a second chance despite me having tried to kill her before… how benevolent of her. And now, I have accompanied her through many battles, becoming even stronger than when I was alive, I have recently regained my Demon Eye of Paralysis too, despite not even having a flesh body!" said Ozgeth as he shared his new life experiences.

"It does always feel nice to be together… as one… it is comforting, to never be alone," said Legion, the combination of countless dead spirits, which included a large amount of Gazers.

"It is nice to see my seniors so happy and strong, I hope I can also grow stronger than when I was alive despite being Undead now. It seems that being undead has various benefits… I really thought that I was done for when I died, to think that Veronica-sama and Ervas-sama would take their time to give me a new life as their servant" said a rare High Gazer Zombie, who died in the battle against Oggoth but had his soul revived into his revitalized and healed corpse, he was one of the few Gazers whose minds were not affected to the point of breaking by Oggoth, unlike the majority.

"Fufu, as long as I get to chop and chop down fleshy things and be covered in oozy and warm blood, I am happy! Anna-chan massages (hammer strikes) also feel good!" said Axe-chan, taking the form of a young girl with a crazed and fervent expression on her face with her Phantom Form and Phantom Materialization Skills.

Goliath glanced at the group of goofballs and could not help but sigh.

"I guess we are all different… I wonder if I was even a Human before or was it an illusion too? Ah, thinking too much makes me bored, anyways. You, the Ghost girl, share your story, it's your turn" said Goliath, as a human-looking ghost woman began to speak with a crying voice.

Such scenes unfolded all across the building, as many undead shared their thoughts and tragic lives which led them to their fate as Undead, while also sharing the new happiness that Veronica and Ervas had brought to their life… or death.
