《The Third Word》Chapter 70

"Wh-What?" I laughed as I couldn't believe what he said. I sat down beside him and turned slightly towards him, keeping my hands on my knees," You're saying I came here?"
"You wouldn't know since you were possessed."
That explained why my legs were paining. I had probably walked all the way to his house and back and I was surprisingly still alive.
"So...Ethan got inside my body and came here and spoke to you." I was surely burning up. The words came out of my mouth like fire.
"Are you okay?" He asked, noticing my temper rise.
"I'm not!" I yelled and stood up, looking around," All he spoke to me was 'Help me' and he fucking came to you?"
"You don't seem to like the fact that he came to me." He said in his calm voice.
"He chose me but he doesn't even speak to me!"
"Where's the problem here? You didn't want to help him in the beginning anyway." He said and the way those words hit me, I immediately cooled down. It was true that I didn't want to help him earlier and I suddenly wanted to.
What made me change my mind?
"What did Ethan tell you?" I asked, remembering that my anger wasn't important but the information he gave us was.
"He doesn't remember anything from that night."
"Why did I expect that?" I uttered and sat down again.
"It's of no use anyway," He said," There's one important thing he told me, which explains exactly why he doesn't know who his killer is."
"And I'm guessing you won't tell me."
"Eventually, I will." He sighed.
"I know I shouldn't be asking this...but how far have you reached with the investigation?" I asked and he gave me the if-you-know-you-shouldn't-ask-then-shut-up look.

"I think two people are enough to worry about it." He said," You job is to talk to-"
"You mean, rent my body so he can talk to you." I interrupted.
"This really isn't something you should be mad about." He said, shaking his head.
"Then how should I feel about this? He doesn't think I'm capable or trustworthy enough to understand? Or maybe he doubts my literacy." I mumbled.
"You should feel special."
"He possessed me without my permission and didn't even bother to tell me where he took my body and what he did with it!" I scowled.
"He asked you to help him and only then possessed you, Gwen Smith." He highlighted to shut me up," If it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't have found out that he doesn't know the killer."
"Well...makes sense but I don't like the idea of giving him my body without knowing what I did during that time." I argued.
"Ask him then." He said," I'm shocked how you haven't had a conversation with him yet. What are you waiting for?"
"I was caught up in shit and Edwin keeps...never mind." I stopped as I re-thought upon my decision of telling him about Edwin, since he was only interested in Ethan.
"Edwin what?" He prompted me to finish my sentence.
"It's nothing related to the case."
"Speak." He ordered.

Friendly Neighborhood Necromancer
To be taken to another world; isn't that the kind of thing that nearly everyone wishes for once in their life? To use their savvy knowledge of how things usually go in that situation to take advantage, and lead a life where they are the center and in control of their destiny.But in the stories, the one who is brought ends up with a grand power to help them through. Here, a man is brought to a foreign world as his new character in the VRMRPG, Underworld of Armok, at Level 1. In safety there are few benefits, only by taking risks far beyond his level could one proceed. Transported to another world, he wishes to do good and be a hero. Accumulating power to help the less fortunate. There's just one caveat; he's a Necromancer, and his greatest source of strength will probably get him lynched.Quick DescriptionAnother video game/isekai novel. Unfortunately, the MC has crossed over during character creation of a Necromancer and is Level 1. He also lacks the ever so helpful status window.Fair warning, the Friendly Villager Necromancer arc(1) is slow. He does not want to run out into the dangerous world to get killed right after arriving. Sucks to be Level 1, eh? Git gud scrub. It's basically a Slice of Life from his perspective. The Thread, in case you get a bit confused about people/places. [16+] Now probably! For strong language and violence! And anthropophagy and lewd intimations! And stupid jokes and obscure references! And philosophical ditherings and a slow pace! Make peace with the absurd, and come to terms with the terrible!

Activation
Will was a normal guy in his mid twenties, living in small town America. He was relatively aimless. Then he got struck by lightning. Waking up reminded him why falling asleep in strange places had stopped being a pleasant adventure for the next day, years before. Then, the crazy started. Life would never be the same, but he wasn't aimless anymore. Plus, you know, super powers are cool. Warning: There will be swearing and casual conversation about subjects that might have some people clutching their pearls. There will be dirty jokes. There will not be graphic depictions of sexual activity, or harem shenanigans, as I'm making my mother read this. That would be very uncomfortable.
