*gasp

I woke up in a dark small place, as I move, I hear a creaking sounds. Also, I felt my body to be somewhat, weird.

I raise my arm slowly and felt a rough surface, when I applied force, it moves. I push it upward and it opened while making a sound. I rise my body and look at my surroundings, violet roses, a coffin, and also a candle. The illumination from the moon helps the surroundings get lighter because it's extremely dark in some corners.

"Where am I?"

As I muttered that, I felt something different, my voice change, I also saw the color of my skin, pale, and also, the flowing silver hair with a shade of purple.

Right, I reincarnate to another world. But, why I have this body though? And the coffin? Also, the naked body I got.

*creak

I hear a sound behind a wall, someone's coming.

"HIME!!!"

Eh?

A short old lady wearing a maid outfit came crashing through the door.

Wait, hime?

"I thought you would never wake up!"

The old lady cried as she hugged me.

"Umm... This is awkward, but, who are you? And most importantly, who am I?"

"Hime-sama! I'm sorry for the late introduction, I'm Merry, the head maid."

As she told me that, she grab my hand and help me stand up, she brought me to an empty corridor, but wait! I'm naked. The old lady stopped in front of the door and told me to go inside.

We went inside and I saw a small canopy bed and a cabinet.

She took a white one piece dress from the cabinet and told me to wear it, because of shame I instantly wore it.

"Now, Hime-sama, since you just wake up, we will take this nice and slowly, I will tell you the current situation regarding you and the whole clan."

Clan?

I sat down the bed and she went outside, as she got back she carry a cart.

She took a kettle and a cup, poured something, seems like tea.

She gave it to me and I gladly take it.

"Now hime-sama, this will be a long story so listen carefully."

"Sure!"

I answered while I sip my tea.

➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖

Our clan are the undead clan, we are masters of necromancy. Also, I'm the last Royal bloodline of it and a variant, carrying the blood of the undead clan and also the life clan.

My father, is a pure undead King, Grachiel, my mother, Rosetta, is a pure elf, and she belongs to the life clan. They are opposite beings that fell in love and tried to live without the chains of their clan tied to them. They left their clan and several clansmen followed them, my grandfather is not proud of their relationship so he throw away his son, father, removed him from the royal family, mother also been thrown away by her family. Though being deserted by their family, they had each other traveled the land with their followers. Their love grant them a blessing, a child, a child born from the undead and life, a being born from opposite elements, it's a miracle that I have been born. I what they called, a variant, also called as a being that was not supposed to be here in the first place. But I have a rare condition, a condition that makes me sleep till I achieve its requirements, it's called mana overgrowth, it's a condition where my body can't handle a massive amount of mana and it will makes me sleep till I have a body capable of handling it. And I was awakened, that means that I have achieved its requirements.

My parents were sad and couldn't do anything but to wait till I wake up, but it could take decades and centuries till I wake up, so they carry me all through their travels and found a place to live in, an old church in the middle of a deserted village. They make me sleep in a coffin, the coffin is called a magic item, and it can protect anyone inside of it from harm. They decorated its surroundings with flowers.

My parents build a small village of their own so that they can stay here with me and also have a place to call home.

As soon as they finished their village, a black Raven came with a letter, father receive the letter, and the Raven flew to a nearby tree and seemed to wait my father's answer.

The contents of the letter is from his father, he needs help because the light clan is waging a war against the undead clan. Grandfather is too old and the undead clan is one of the weakest clan. Father can't reject the help of his father so he went on a journey to go to grandfather, mother also came with him thinking that he might also need some help, the followers stayed at the village so that they can guard it.

Several days passed and no sight of the two people they follow, so they sent someone to find them but once he came back, they learned the tragedy that happened, the undead clan lost the war and all of the people are now dead, also, the beheaded couple can be seen lying on the ground surrounded by thousands of corpse.

They lost hope thinking that they are the last one of the undead clan and also the followers of Rosetta cried, thinking of what would happen to them now. In the midst of the sad fate, Merry stood up and spoke to everyone.

"We are not yet dead!!! We will live for the sake of our clan and there are one person who can make us rise to the top and get revenge to the clan who dirtied our name, that person is the sleeping princess, our only last ruler."

With the shout of the last Royal maid of the undead clan, they gained hope for the future and swear to protect their beloved princess.

➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖

"Now you woke up from your slumber, we can regain our glory and also revenge your fallen parents."

"This is too sudden, I didn't even know anything about this world or what am I supposed to rule."

I didn't expect that this kind of development from a normal girl like me to become like this, a royalty? She said I've just awoken from my slumber and I can't understand the situation, this thing is going too fast.

"Hime-sama! We will greet your subjects."

"Eh? Now?"

Wait! I'm not ready! How can I face them!

Merry hold my hand and slowly walk out of the room, we headed towards the stairs going downward.

*gulp

I swallowed my saliva thinking of what I should say to them, this kind of thing is not my thing.

A huge door, seems this is the entrance to this building.

"Now, hime-sama.. We will greet your subjects!"

As merry opened the door.

"HIME-SAMA!!!!!!!!"

I was perplexed by the sudden cheer of the crowd, a huge crowd.

Is this what should I rule? How can I rule this thousands of people?

"Now hime-sama, lets us see the power within you as an initiation of becoming an undead royalty!"

"Un"

I just agreed to something I don't understand.

We walk through the crowds and in the middle of them, a dark totem that has a dark violet orb and a small white flame inside of it.

"Hime, this is the altar that holds the power of many undead gods."

"Gods?"

"They give us the power of our clan!"

Merry holds my hand and place it on top of the orb.

The white flame flash and it engulf me in its bright light.

"How are you?"

I heard a woman's voice, a familiar voice, as I open my eyes.

"Kami-sama!"

"Right."

The God I met before.

"Right now I just took a small time to talk to you, you’re supposed to meet your God but I interrupted it to tell you something, that body of yours, the owner of it is already dead. Your soul just entered it randomly, also there are one other reincarnator in your world. Also I am here to give something you've forgot."

She handed me the staff that has the six orbs.

"Thank you, kami-sama!"

"Also, good luck on your journey!"

A small hole opened beside me and pulled me.

"Where am I?"

The surrounding are complete black but the ground is full of greenery. I hold my staff firmly.

"WELCOME!! THE LAST UNDEAD EMPRESS, I am the God who will give you power, I am Meeod, the life restorer! Giver of life and death! Hereby bestow you power!"

A circle appeared below me, another three from my side, and also a giant one over my head.

"W-what is t..this? It hurts!!"

Pain enters my whole body and information enters my mind.

"Now you have the power of life and death!"
