(EDITED)

"I can't believe those villagers did that!"

Rio was furious as he unconsciously clenched the cup that is made with the finest and strongest wood on his hand and it broke into pieces. He then noticed that the cup is broken and apologetically look at the latter since he knows the value of the cup he is using.

"Ah-.... I'm sorry..."

Yuriel and Marco didn't mind the guy's look as they both looked at the poor cup that got destroyed and gulped, having two different thoughts in mind.

Yuriel: '... Furious Rio is... not good..'

Marco, prays for the soul of the guy's next victim.

Rio just stares at them weirdly as the two's look kept changing whenever they look at him and the cup.

After yuriel said that he has no bad intentions on the necromancer. Marco decided to tell his story and why he was tortured by the villagers.

Since necromancers are seen as evil beings, they often hide from the sight of other races especially humans who thought of them as a disgrace of their own kind for using death magic.

The huge forest near the village is where marco lives alone. Both his parents die in the hands of hunters when they're still living in a different area and his father used every bits of his magic to make sure that his son can be teleported in a place where the hunters won't find him.

That time, Marco was just 9 years old but because he doesn't have any friends, he used his time to learn necromancy from all the books inside their house.

When he was about to be teleported. The memories of how his father smiled at him and a sword stabbed on his chest is still hunting him that he couldn't move for a whole day.

When he felt hungry, that's where he finally get to check where he is.

Marco used every experience he has and lived his life hunting. And one day he met an old lady who's living alone in a hut outside the forest and gave him shelter.

After spending time with the old lady, he finally started looking at her as his family. He even told the old lady about being a necromancer which she accepted it.

When the old lady is near to her death, Marco plead to not leave him alone for she is the only family he has but she spoke her last words with a smile that buried in the necromancer's heart.

"Death will come to everyone who lives. Don't bury yourself in the past, my child. Allow yourself to believe in people and choose those who can be trusted in your kindness. Let everyone see that your kind is needed and not to be feared. That... is my last wish for you."

That was the last wish his family asked him.

He still can't grant the wish the old lady asked him but he continue to practice his necromancy on dead animals and bones. And whenever he achieved a huge height of his magic, symbols will appear on his body as a proof of him being a necromancer.

He was living his life peacefully without anyone knowing until...

He decided to head to the village to buy some bread when he saw one silver coin laying on the forest grounds.

Along his way, he was passing a tree when he saw a dead bird laying on the ground. He heard soft chirps from the top of the tree and saw two baby birds yearning for their mother. He finally understood that the dead bird is the mother and unconciously used his death magic to bring the bird back to life but only to put it on the nest.

But unfortunately, two hunters who just came back from their hunting saa it and they quickly tied marco up.

The necromancer tried his best to fight of the people but he then remembered that if he fight back, they'll think of him as a more evil person.

So he let's himself get taken. He was planning to take talk to the villagers instead and that he brings no harm at all but fate isn't nice to anyone and the villagers didn't even dare to let him explain. Making the situation where rotten foods are being thrown at him.

When yuriel heard his story, he is indeed feeling bad for the necromancer but he can't help but to curse the damn novel.

'Like, who's in their right mind to use his death magic just to put the bird on the nest if you can just climb it!'

He almost screamed but held it in. Giving another sigh on how stupid the novel is.

But one things for sure. This world is not just a novel. For the latter, The crappy story of his nightmare is like a prophecy of whats gonn happen in the future. He just needs to find a way earlier than the enemies and it's a win-win situation for him.

Yuriel glanced at the necromancer seriously that it made marco a bit nervous.

"So... what are you planning to do now? The villagers will surely hunt you down for sure."

Marco stayed silent for a minute and yuriel didn't dare to make the necromancer reply quickly.

While waiting for the guy, the latter saw that rio was about to clean up. He snapped his fingers and one by one, the utensils they've used in eating vanished into thin air as it was already transportated into yuriel's dimensional storage.

Both Rio and Marco made an 'Oh' sound that kids usually made when they're amazed in watching a magic show, making the latter facepalmed by it.

'Why do i feel like i'm watching over two toddlers...'

He gave out a sigh as he glanced at the necromancer again.

Marco saw the look that the latter is giving him and he already knew what he meant as his face become serious. Not even hesitating to answer.

"I want to join you guys." He said with a determine look.

The latter felt like grinning but he held it in and gave the necromancer a smile. He's already used to acting and hiding his real intention thanks to a certain white tiger that didn't even let him rest from his training.

"No problem. I don't actually mind having another companion!" The latter happily said which is the truth since he doesn't need to do some convincing.

The necromancer felt really happy about traveling with the two as he thank the latter and rio.

The dark-blue haired guy welcomed the new friend of their group. He didn't regret joining the latter at all and was even looking forward to their next destination.

"Then let's get going." The latter spoke as he stretched his arms around.

"As in, right now? I don't even have a single thing with me." The necromancer said. He then saw both of the guys grin and he felt his spine shivers. Feeling something's about to go bad.

Marco felt both of his hands being held as he glanced back and forth between the white haired and midnight blue haired individuals.

Yuriel still has the grin plastered on his face while Rio just gave the necromancer a thumbs up and a magic circle appear on their feet.

Only a few seconds.

Marco's soul almost left his body and both the two devils laughed at the necromancer's shock state.
