《Undead Anima》Chapter 4: Status and identity
Advertisement
Since I can't get out of my room I began to self-study about the things I learn so far.
It's already been a week and as I look at the window, I can see the people outside getting livelier. That's my routine for now, watching the people live, so that I can learn more of the clan.
Their homes are made of woods, it's like a normal hut. Their clothes compose of long robes, I see some of them wear just plain clothes a black shirt and also black pants.
They get their foods from hunting, fishing and also farming. It's like a bunch of people living in a countryside secluded from the society, well that's who they are.
I also began to see some people wearing other clothes other than black and going out of the village every two weeks. I ask Merry about it and she said that those people are going to the city to gather some necessary things and also to gather Intel about the actions of the other clan. They go to the city each month and return after two weeks. That city is about 20 miles away from this village and to go there, it takes about three days depending on their speed.
As I have nothing to do, I call the doll. It doesn't have a name so it's kinda hard to just call it doll, maybe I will give it a name or just a nickname.
"Your orders! Goshujinsama!"
"Uhm...what to ask? Hmm.. Do you know something about this or could you tell me more about magic and status?"
Since she's a magic item made by a god, she must have knowledge about this world.
"Unfortunately I don't have knowledge about this world, but I have knowledge about the status creator made!"
"Hou!! Then, can you tell me about it!"
"Status, a type of magic created by the creator given to all citizen of this world, it has the characteristics, skills, and the title of the owner. Skills can be achieved through training or with an act of a god. Since goshujinsama are royalty, she needs to have the power of the God since it’s the rule of every royalty. Common citizen and clansmen can achieve power with an alliance or contract with a person having the power of God to achieve power. You can also gain it through training and reading magic grimoires to gain skills."

"I have a question! Can I also gain that power from grimoires?"
"Sadly no goshujinsama, the godly power inside you will not accept power different from it."
I slouch on the bed and keep listening to her.
"Magic are skills that bend reality to make miracles, there are magic to hurt others and there are magic that can make others feel better. In order to use it, a magic circle is needed to use it. From what I've known, the clans can't learn any skills different from their affinity."
So this circle are called magic circle.
"So if it's impossible for me to learn light magic right!"
"Yes goshujinsama! Affinity are a person's element, goshujinsama has the death and life element. An element that don't go well with each other."
"I can't help it if my parents love each other!"
I squeeze myself saying those things and thinking of a love story like Romeo and Juliet, wait, they died together too. What a twist!
"Also, creator gave me a message about yourself. Goshujinsama being a high lich."
"What about it?"
"Goshujinsama, a high lich is a monster not a human."
"Huh?"
"Before Goshujinsama wake up, your body died because of the massive amount of mana rampaging inside you. Liches are sorcerers that died with an unfinished tasks and brought to life with their massive mana becoming undead monsters. High Liches has flesh rather than bones like normal liches since Goshujinsama's mana is massive, you've evolve right away to become a high lich. I think the people that witness your status realize it but hide it from you since you don't know anything about the world."
"So that explain the action of Vox-sensei, he thinks I'm a monster with a massive power to destroy."
"And Goshujinsama display that power when you called the celestial spear!"
I fiercely look at the doll in front of me, she averted her sight instantly from me.
But thinking that they may think I'm a monster capable of destroying anything, also about me having an infinite mana.

"If Goshujinsama thinks about the infinite mana, it's not really infinite, it's just mere words. Magic has its own capacity to use and also has its limit. Every being on this world has limits on how much mana they use, having infinite mana doesn't mean you can endlessly spurt out countless magic. The world has its rules, as for Goshujinsama's case, you can only use a small amount of mana that your body can handle. Goshujinsama is still a child so you can't endlessly use a massive amount of mana."
"What happened if my body use an amount of mana that my body can't handle?"
"You'll explode!"
"Ehh?!!!"
"I think its times up!"
"Huh?"
"I'm malfunctioning again! My body don't last long outside of my orb. And I forgot to tell you this Goshujinsama. But the cause of my malfunction is because of.....Goshujinsama."
"Eh?"
She disappeared and when I look at the staff, I can see a crack on the orb where the doll is. I think because of that time, when I was hit by the train.
"I'm sorry."

"Merry, can you call all the superior person in this clan."
"Yes hime, but what for?"
"I just need to ask you a question."
"Right away hime!"
Merry left my room. I have to ask them about me regarding just a monster.
Merry came back with seven people, three person that I don't know.
"These three are people in charge of the clan's needs."
"I'm Vera, in charge of the clan's tailoring."
"Gill, in charge of the people going to the city."
"Felt hime, I'm in charge of the agriculture of the clan."
"Nice to meet you!"
Merry stand beside me and the seven people stand in front of me.
"I want to talk about, regarding me, being.... A monster!"
"Where did you get that info hime?!!"
Merry suddenly ask me and the other where just, shock.
"I just want an answer!"
"Well hime, a monster are a prey for adventurers. We didn't think you were like that but, a high lich is a monster that can kill several high class adventurers and also hime has the infinite mana. We all know how dangerous you will be when you know about it so we hide that matter so that you wouldn't know. Also you display that power from our battle."
Vox-sensei told me so.
"Also, we told all the clansmen about it, they are confuse at first but then they accept it and agreed to hide it from you. We are terribly sorry for hiding it to you hime."
"Merry. I'm a person that has a strong will to become the leader of this clan, I'm not a person that destroy everything because I have the power to do so. I'm a person that has care for others and also, I'm your beloved hime."
Merry hugged me instantly.
"So, please treat me just like a normal person not a person that you’re afraid to."
"As your command hime!"
With a declaration from Vox, they all kneel in front of me.
And after that, the preparation for the crowning ceremony is almost complete.

Nearby the undead village, a mysterious man is watching from afar.
"Hou! The lost clan is celebrating something? Hmmm, I can't wait to tell her about this!"
The man disappeared and an impending danger is coming.

A boy is born in a fantasy world with knowledge of modern earth, however he does not have personal memories of living or dying before. Good news is he was born in militaristic branch of the royal family and the variety of forms and uses of magic in this world are great fun, bad news is with status come expectations. Follow him as he makes his place in the world all the while escaping boredom with all his might. This is a story without a big baddie trying to destroy the world, without gods choosing heroes to give powers to and without systems that determine what you can and can't do. This is my first fiction and i'm open to suggestions. I plan on using a few cliches while putting my own spin on things, if i write something that feels too much like every other fictions, please say so.
