If you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back.
This is the heartfelt emotion of the young man who has just broken through the ground at this moment and here when he admires the two bright moons in the sky.
Gul always thought that those PCs had fought against their own real people, and after practicing for a few years, he naturally ignored the anger of those dead houses, so he acted a little more unscrupulously.
But on the whole, I'm still a kind DM! Isn't it just to install a half-dragon in the kobold's lair, deduct experience in the name of "NPC killed monsters", and distribute anti-fire equipment to frost giants, and the hybrid dragon is always an optimized offspring, deliberately letting the most restless person in the group find a good teleportation circle that goes straight to the center of the Mind Flayer City, and regularly throw ancient evil things out to wash the floor... Well......
It seems like those guys really have enough reason to kill me...... No, no, no, this must be an illusion, how can someone like me, a good person who is full of discipline, want me to die?
The young man, who was half-buried in the earth, looked directly at the sky with his terrifyingly enlarged black pupils, his expression confused and sluggish, like a dead man.
The hideous laceration wounds under the dirty black clothes added to the argument, and the young man stretched out his hand and slowly stuffed the intestines back into his body, frowning in thought.
So, their resentment let me cross over?
Well, forget it, I have to thank them...... Wait, I remember before losing consciousness was manipulating a Pale Lord who was the final boss full of corpse crafter and necromancer specialties. Although the legend of the Corpse Craftsman series was not as good as imagined, it was really hoisted until it flew in the early days...... I didn't feel any pain just now, only the sense of touch was still there......
Could it be that I crossed the ?!! with the power of the Pale Lord
This gratifying news diluted the fear of being in a strange place, and it made Gul, who had lost his "territory", temporarily rejoice.
The boy covered in blood and dirt struggled to pull the lower half of his body out of the dirt. He looked at his rag-like hoodie trousers and slapped the dirt on them helplessly, trying to make them look as elegant as possible.
Well, the first image of the legendary Pale Lord, Mr. Gul, in the Otherworldly is a poor beggar pretending......
The futile teenager reluctantly accepted this fact.
Wait, I've got a magic trick! I've got a trick! I'm a magician, I'm afraid of a fart!!
With anticipation and excitement, Gul closed his eyes and rummaged through his mind, trying to find the spell book that should exist in the sea of consciousness. But the spell book was not found, but the character card was turned over.
[Name: Gul]
[Race: Ghoul]
[Class: Ghoul Warrior 1]
[Due to technical issues, it is not possible to open other professions.] 】
“…… I knew it wasn't that simple. ”
It turns out that Lao Tzu is not the pale lord who plays with the corpse, but the corpse played by the pale lord hahaha......
Gul covered his face, he should have guessed that the PCs weren't going to make him feel better.
Alright, dear adventurers, you have succeeded. Let me see what I've become? Ghouls - cannon fodder among the undead. Warrior - Cannon fodder among players.
And what about the ghoul warriors?
"Elite cannon fodder? no, cannon fodder among cannon fodder. ”
The boy began to complain to himself with a straight face, his voice was low and hoarse, and his vocal cords seemed to have been damaged in some way.
Gul wanted to find a place where he could settle down, perhaps because he had been transformed into a ghoul by some mysterious power, such as a character card, rather than being bitten by another ghoul, so there was no process of decay, and his body was almost indistinguishable from a living person, except for the hideous wounds and white skin on his body for some unknown reason.
But it backfired, and the endless hunger and thirst that instantly filled his body overwhelmed his will. The corners of the boy's mouth were torn into a beastly mouth, revealing a mouth full of razor-like fangs, and he let out a hoarse roar from the depths of his throat, his dark pupils turned gray and cloudy, and he ran on the ground with his hands and feet, swift and agile.
The smell of food......
The smell of flesh!
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Hmmm......"
The young man sat cross-legged on the ground despite the dirt, his brows furrowed and his expression tangled.
The hideous wounds on his body had been repaired, and Gul rummaged through the extra memories in his mind, and couldn't help but look at the ...... at his feet with disdain Stuff.
"This isn't a good guy. ”
Gul nodded, and viciously bit a large piece of flesh from the arm he was holding.
"Cliffs are not good people. ”
By eating the grave keeper's brain, he learned where he was, and how much dirty things this cringe-looking creature had done in secret.
"The corpses are not spared...... It's just a joke to take a shot while it's hot, but I didn't expect anyone to do it. ”
Gul chewed on the food in his mouth, picked out the little things that were useful in the grave keeper's memory, packed and deleted the remaining things that needed to be mosaiced in every way, and then went on to bite down on a piece of lean meat.
The word "ghoul" on the race bar is not an empty word, at least Gul would never have been able to eat raw meat before.
But now, he felt that there was nothing more delicious, juicy, sweet, and delicious in the world than the food he was chewing.
The only thing that made him feel a little disgusting was that he hadn't washed this guy properly when he was controlled by the endless hunger of the dead. God knows how often he showers!
Forget it, something is better than nothing.
Gul wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve, and pointed his finger at the grave keeper who had been disemboweled, and there was no body...... Well, what's it called? Forget it, who cares about him--On the corpse, decaying gray frost spread from the center of the point of contact between the fingers and the body, slowly covering the entire body.
It's better to freeze, and who knows how long it will take for the next batch of food to come.
I don't want to dig graves, and the expired food in it rots for an unknown amount of time.
Throwing the body of the missing head and arms into a coffin and putting a lid on it, Gul took off his clothes and carefully examined the wounds on his body. The wounds began to heal quickly as the flesh fell into the stomach, and until now it was completely indistinguishable from any other place. Gul soaked in the icy water and washed his body and sighed in satisfaction.
"Anyway, there are still benefits. ”
It's not a system, it's more like knowledge embedded in the brain and acquired at some point. Possessed by instinct, Gul wields a power he has not yet discovered.

"Thank you for building a legendary pale lord who specializes in necromancy, if it's the player's character card, it's useless, right?But all NPCs are cannon fodder, and the purpose of their existence is to make PCs become cannon fodder. ”
With so much expertise, Gul can now easily overturn a dozen big men, but he is getting more and more lazy, and the boy doesn't think he is an adventurous and hot-blooded guy, he has a habit that can be called a "quirk", which is that he is unwilling to leave the territory he is familiar with. But this does not mean that he is a dead house, this territory may encompass a large area, but he is reluctant to leave the "territory" even a step before he is included in the "familiar" territory by Gul.
