《From NPC to villain》Chapter 1. A dream come true
Advertisement
Atrak is a wonderful city of adventurers. Always lively, always noisy. Crowds of locals are always ready to help future heroes. Moreover, children are no exception.
Today again, the noisy residents of the city gathered in the square to meet the new hero of this week. User_15618 gained level 42 and defeated the dark orc Malguhn, the boss of the level 5 Black Shadow Dungeon.
The huge crowd cheered and rejoiced. In addition, the closely packed rows of townspeople blocked the whole picture for little Alme. She tried to see the hero at least out of the corner of her eye, but it turned out to be difficult for her. Even standing on tiptoe, she was only at the level of the backs of all adults.
Nagrida: Do you really want to see a hero, Alme?
Alme: Of course!
Nagrida: Then, can we go to the first row?
The girl's eyes shone with happiness. Nagrida took her daughter by the hand and began to squeeze through the crowd. Coming forward, the girl first noticed the camels in armor and only lifting her head saw the hero. The sight of the hero mesmerized her.
Alme: Mom, is it difficult to be a hero?
Nagrida: Of course. Being a hero is a huge work and responsibility. After all, heroes protect us, ordinary people, from all the troubles that lurk behind the walls of the city.
Alme: The heroes are so strong!
Nagrida: Of course. However, even the strong need help. That is why we have to work for the benefit of the heroes. This is the only way we can repay them for their protection.
Alme: Mommy, can I help the heroes too?
Nagrida: Of course, but for that you need to grow up first.

Alme: Calling you a Necromancer is a little awkward for me.
Necromancer: Thank you for bringing me back. It seems that no one wanted to deal with my resurrection.
Alme: Hmmmm, I just shortened the time spent. If everyone had rejected the request, the System would have chosen the magician randomly.
Necromancer: Still, I have to thank you. None of the Guild masters wants to interact with me without the order of the System.

Kyo: Why do you always call for the resurrection of this monster, Alme?!
Alme: Mr. Lurg is not a monster. This is his position.
Kyo: Open your eyes! He is a Necromancer. His army kills heroes every day.
Alme: We need the Necromancer's army to train heroes. If this training doesn't happen, there will be no one to protect us.
Kyo: How stubborn you are after all.
Alme: *Hee-hee*

Dark Moon Era
When a glorious old civilization was toppled overnight, a strange purple moon rose and thus began the Purple Moon Era. Damn it! What kind of ecosystem was this? The evolution was messy. Even rabbit bites and plants were not to be messed with. How can one survive all this? Evolve into a Purple Moon Warrior? What did this have to do with the Purple Moon? What kind of map was this? The Safety Sector? The Floating Domain? The Darkness Port? The Storm Voyage? The True Capital? The Horror Lullaby List? The resurrection of the Underground Tribe and the prospering Underground City? The Chaos Black Market that suffused the world? The Bloody Road? More importantly, one could end up in a bloody slaughter when dreaming and enter the Dream Domain? Fine, this damned era!
