Dead Void:

Unknown

Three days after arrival

"Your late Dark One."(Jerry)

"You're point."(???)

"My point being that you are late and despite that I still feel power going through me."(Jerry)

At my declaration his body less existence simply stayed silent for a while.

"So you can already feel it. That's good it means that you are realizing your power, now being competent enough to extract energy from it alone."(???)

It lies once more to me and keeps saying things such as 'it still being dangerous to do it alone' however the dark beings have enlightened me to something while being here what I am now is a receptacle that all new formed undeads that emerge have unless they have enough dark energy they die off without anything left, but if they are around receptor type undeads such as me who have a direct link to the void they can live longer apparently I've seen that theres a couple of receptor type undeads in our horde. Which explains why a lot of undeads have been forming around me. Normal type undeads gather or form around us for this reason they sense that we are connected to the void and just being around us gives them the power to live. We were work by having a connected link to the void giving us more than enough energy for self sustainability while also providing them with the acces to the void connection if they are close to usl which explains the reason for a horde mentality.

I've had enough of his speech,

"Shut up. I will kill you if you try and control me anymore."(Jerry)

"YOU DARE. YOU INSIGNIFICANT WORM. I AM...

Wait what are you doing?"(???)

I don't mind him as I continue with my chant.

"Expel thee I who has been lied and controlled by. I Reject you and take back control 'o my secrecy, I BLOCK My connection to you and DENY you anything else from me, Be gone."(Jerry)

I stood there, the connection between me and him had been destroyed and along with it was the connection he held with all the undead under my command, he could not ask me anything and I could feel his prying eyes finally away from my soul however one thing was missing and that was the fact that he was still here I got ready to try eat him thinking that the spell had failed when it spoke.

"You fool do you really think you can survive without my guidance."(???)

I stood there in silence.

"..."

"Your existence would not even be what it is without me."(???)

I said nothing.

"..."

"I could have molded you into the most fearsome being in that world."(???)

It seems its true what they said to me he's nothing here.

"Are you not going to fight me, for sure I thought that you were going to try and kill me if I'd rebelled, what kind of weak existence are you?"(Jerry)

"..."

Now it stood in silence.

"Even though it matters little to me now, I would be alive so its stupid what you're saying really. You dont even have a form to materialize in this world or mine right, meaning that you can only harm me if im contracted to you. Am I correct."(Jerry)

"..."

More silence as it just existed there. And just like that it stopped existing in that space. I wondered what it was that it had control over armies of the dead but I turned around back to the mass of darkness behind me.

"Very well I can at least trust you on this however I will not give you my soul. Just for this tad bit amount of freedom."(Jerry)

"We weren't expecting you to my beast however next time you come to us, it will come at a price, of this you know of now right? "(???)

I exited the void not wanting to give the sealed an answer.

---------------------------------------------------------

I opened my eyes and see that the dead still encase me so i throw them off me and awaken with an immense amount of dark energy surrounding me to which the undead around me respond to in delight as they become filled with the power to consume all that lives. I see around me and there are too many undead for this forest while I was gone it doesn't seem that the skeletons have stopped generating from the ground carrying rusted swords and wooden shields, as well as some spears and bows. If we stay here any longer it will be a waste of an army so I decide to strengthen our forces by destroying another village or small town whichever is nearest.

And for a while that town will be our stay point, I figured that it'll be the only way to get the attention of truly strong adventurers. Sure enough it'll be hard to defeat A classes if they do come but with an army at my disposal I don't believe it'll be too bad, as well as with the newly acquired powers which I've obtained thanks to the contemplation inside the void. Standing on the highest rock near the unholy spring I roar as loudly as I can, this catches the attention of all Fallen near me and they remain silent their previous frenzy from my awakening gone.

"WE FEAST ON THE FLESH OF THE LIVING TODAY AND ONWARDS, LET NONE ESCAPE OUR GRASPS. WE ARE UNDEATH LET ALL WHO KNOW OF US FEEL OUR COLD GRASP ON THIS WORLD AS WE REJECT IT AND BRING DEATH TO ALL WHO LIVE ON IT!"(Jerry)

"REAASRRRSAARR EEARRRAASERRAAAS DERRAA ARAAERRRA AARRGGHHHHN AAREH!!!!"(FALLEN)

Unintelligent roars, moans, and cheers came from them as they're previous frenzy paled compared to what was happening right now the skeletons clattered their skulls, the corpses roared and raargh as hard as they could while fumbling and falling, the serpent flailed and cried out with unending joy, beasts that had fallen to the curse gave out their hideous roars, and I could swear that the gods from down below smiled at the sight that was currently occuring. We moved that same night being empowered by the dark energies that the moon gives out, not needing rest nor food we marched forward out of the forest which from what I'd seen had forever change into a dismal sight that would never heal again.

---------------------------------------------------------

"It's just another boring night again am I right Carl."(Guard)

"Well considering we had a couple of mischievous imps, Bears and salamanders come near to attack the village I wouldn't call it boring Neru."(Carl)

I look at my friend Neru a Northmen by heart that set out on adventure but ended up here as a guard to pay off a debt.

"I am from further up north, my blade thrills for excitement these small and weak beasts are nothing to me."(Neru)

"I wouldn't call salamanders and bears small you know."(Carl)

"I miss the hunt of mammoths you know theres a trick to hunting them. Now that was an actual fight. HAHAHA!"(Neru)

His laughter shows his confidence I grin to myself a little, certainly with me and him as guards there would be nothing that could pass through this gate, we'd slain many a bandits, chupacabras, and chimeras together and showed just how strong we were. There wasn't much of a challenge to it either twas but a simple day of watch. But I could feel that his reckless behavior as a Northmen might be the end of him so I tried advising him as a friend would.

"You know that might be your undoing, please be careful what you wish for Neru."(Carl)

"Hey what's that over there?"(Neru)

He ignored my comment and startet pointing. As the young northmen pointed I could barely spot a man who appeared to in tattered clothing and was moaning like if he was on his last breaths. I call out to the guards downstairs.

"Hey! Guys go check what's wrong with him he might be in trouble!"(Carl)

"As you command captain."(Guard)

He lowered the gate and supported the person who was about to collapse. They grabbed him and tried checking to see if he was okay. I couldn't see it before due to the nights dakrness covering him but he seemed to be in a critical condition.

"Report the situation!"(Carl)

"Hey Cap'n what'd you think happened to 'im?"(Neru)

"Cant make any assuptions yet, gotta wait and see what they can find. Wait, what's that person doing?"(Carl)

With a sudden move the person grabbed my subordinates hand and proceeded to bite on it. With Terrence screaming at the top of his lungs John proceeded to stab the man over and over.

"Aaaaaaaaahhh!!!"(Guard)

"Goddammit stop fucking moving whats wrong with you why won't you die aaaaaaaaah."(Guard 2)

"Back up, call back up now!"(Carl)

Neru and I proceed downwards, outside the gate to see that the man is now eating away at Terrence's chest with John trying to pull him away unsuccessfully his sword embedded in the mans stomach. I go forward and proceed hold the man by the head and throw him against the tree. I loom worriedly at Terrence who is wounded heavily gods he ate right through the bone, Neru looks at Terrence and anger overtakes they were drinking buddies so seeing his friend like this would obviously make him angry. However our attention is driven to the man who I threw against the trees I see that I may have ripped a little bit of his scalp and quickly clean my hand. That doesn't shock us however when we see that he now had an eye hanging by the nerve and a broken jaw thats covered in Terrence's blood I cant help but feel a little bit sick. Making it worse he still decides to come over sword still hanging grom his gut shambling to us. I stand at the ready un sheathing my blade but John stops me.

"Captain if I may."(Guard)

"Are you sure I saw how many times you stabbed him might be running on pain nullifying magic or magic enhanced drugs."(Carl)

"Then I'll decapitate the poor fucker. I can't allow you to not after I let that happen to Terrence."(Guard)

"Very well."(Carl)

I hand him my blade and he readies himself in a stance. In one swoop he's already across the field with his opponent behind him and his head severed. He lets out a small breath and breathes again. "I dit it captain" he looks proud of himself with an approving glance from me and Neru however during this entire commotion we failed to notice one thing. That person wasn't alone.
