(as Alex)
I was probably dreaming. It seemed like I would wake up soon and be free from this disturbing dream. I was trying everything to wake up. But I couldn't wake up from the dream. I couldn't move my body. It felt like black hands were holding my entire body. Due to the darkness all around, I couldn't see anything.
"So is this a mental attack? So is someone trying to control my body?"
There are many questions in my mind but I can't find any answer. Is this my world or can I find any question on Google? I don't know how long I have been trapped in this darkness. Maybe a year? Or two years. I can't count the time exactly. But I understand that it has been a long time.
[Welcome to my dead zone]
[Welcome to my dead zone]
[Welcome to my dead zone]
This sound kept ringing in my ears. I couldn't understand whose voice it was, but it was a very strange sound. It seemed worse than the cawing of a crow. Every time I heard it, my body trembled. I felt like I was going to die right now.
My entire body was covered in several hand-like objects. Even though I couldn't see them in the dark, I thought they were black. Black is a color that no other color can match. That's why I couldn't see anything in this state.
-->>I never imagined that one day I would be able to control the body of a host of The Great Demon Prince Beelzebub. What better news could there be?
The surroundings suddenly turned white. Which immediately took my sight away. I couldn't see anything for a long time. But as soon as everything suddenly turned white, it felt like my eyes were burning. Suddenly, my eyes couldn't take the light source, so I tried to look slowly. First, I noticed my own body.
About a hundred black hands emerged from the floor that looked like humans. If you look closely, it seems like they were buried underground and suddenly came to life, the ground cracked open and their hands reached out and grabbed my body. I couldn't even move because of those hands. I looked down once. At first I thought it was the floor. But now it seemed like clear glass. I could see my own reflection in it.
This is me, yes, this is not Alex. In retrospect, I was not the eleven-year-old Alex, but the twenty-six-year-old programmer Hridoy. I was quite surprised. It has been more than a year since I saw myself like this. Although according to Jiduri, my body was supposed to be fine, he doesn't know how I got into Alex's body.
I heard a voice a little while ago, I can't remember what it said. So, without paying attention to it, I started looking around me. Everything around was nothing but white. The reflection above was clearly visible due to the floor being transparent. However, there was something very interesting in front of me.
Alex, yes, Alex's body was in front of me. The eleven-year-old boy I've been in for so long is in front of me. Maybe I should be afraid in this situation. Because my body is in front of me and I'm standing in front of him as a ghost. Although I don't know why I entered Alex's body without my own body, I can still claim it as my own. I may have conquered fear long ago, so now I don't feel afraid for a moment.
[Welcome to my dead zone]
I heard that annoying sound again. It came from in front of me. It came from where Alex's body was lying.
Dressed in black smoke, with a huge hood on his head. Flying in the air with no visible legs. With a huge scimitar in his hand. The man's face was visible, which looked exactly like a human skeleton. I'm not mistaken. Since I've worked with fantasy games, I can guess the name of this person.
"Dead!"
Yes, Dead was standing in front of me. Even if it didn't look like this in the game we were working on, the details still matched. Especially the huge knife in his hand. No one carries such a weapon except Dead. Even though it's just a fantasy, no fantasy comes true now.
[I was waiting for the death of Demon Prince Beelzebub. But who would have thought that he would seal his ring. But finally I can get out of his seal. Hahaha]
My body shudders when I hear the person in front of me. And his smile is completely disgusting. I don't understand how Beelzebub sealed such an object? Since the man is saying it, it must be true. But how did the seal suddenly break?
[Oh, what do I see here? I thought it would be a little difficult. But this is not your real body!]
[Then it will be much easier for me.]
[Humans, my name is Lich The Undead. My title is Ruler of the Dead.]
The man stopped and started talking again,
[It is your luck that even though you are no longer in your body, you can exist in another body. Not everyone gets such an opportunity.]
[However, I am not a person who talks much. I can feel the energy of Beelzebub from within you, but you are not him. So your death will not be painful. But because of the energy of Beelzebub, I will make your soul my slave and control it after death. So wait to serve your new ruler.]
I couldn't understand what the man was saying. But I understood one thing: he was very dangerous. A terrible energy was coming out of his body, which you could feel. Although I wasn't afraid until now, now fear started working inside me. I couldn't even say anything out loud. It felt like my mouth was stuck. I don't understand if it's because of fear or what.
[I don't feel like waiting any longer. I have to meet the other rulers. And besides, I lost my ring. So this has to be done quickly.]
The man held his big scissors in his left hand and raised his right hand in front. With a gesture from his hand, Alex's body floated up from the bottom and the man stood in front of him. The man now started to insert parts of his body into Alex's body. It didn't take him long to enter Alex's body. He now started to control that body from inside Alex's body. He started walking, running. He started to hit with his scissors. And finally he came in front of me. He placed his right hand on my head.
[Now quickly transform into my shadow army.]
A terrible energy started to enter my body from the man's body. My whole body started to tremble with pain. Even though my body was now in his possession, I could still feel the pain within myself. Just then, a projection appeared in front of me,
-""Warning""--
-""For some reason, something is trying to take over the Master's mind. The conditions for protecting the Master's mind have been met. The Master has gained new skills.""-
""
Skill: Phoenix Blessing (Passive Skill)
This is a very rare skill. Usually, a physical confrontation with someone who uses the power of a Pure Blood Phoenix actually results in a Phoenix Blessing.
1) With this skill, the host can control all fires.
2) The host's mind power will increase.
3) The ability to make decisions in any situation will be lost.
4) The power of all the host's remaining skills will be doubled.
5) The host's fire skills and spells will give double attack power.
Condition: This is a passive skill. So it will always be active. However, the skill will not work if the host has physical contact with it.
Cooldown: Zero
""
I didn't know what to say here. I didn't realize I would get a skill at this time. But it was good. Because I could see the surprise on the face of the person in front of me.
[How is this possible? My powers aren't working? No, this can't be happening?]
For a moment I thought my lips felt slightly sweet, but maybe that was my wrong thought. But I had no doubt that I would be able to speak.
"Gluttony"
I don't know why I got such a skill at this time. But it's good. My gluttony is now twice as strong as before. So I don't have to worry.
[How is this possible? You are not Beelzebub. How is this possible, just being his little host?]
Seeing the man's surprised face, I knew he hadn't expected this. But what else could he do now? Black water started to come out from under my body. It spread over twice as much area as before.
[No. It can't be possible. I've waited for this moment for over a thousand years. I don't want to get lost like this again.]
-""Master, you used Gluttony.""-
-""Master, you have absorbed the Lich the Undead.""-
-""The master's body was slightly damaged, but the skill regenerates and medic is being used""-
-""Master Lich has absorbed the undead. The former ruler of the dead's powers are being transformed into skills.""-
-""You can select any two of the master's skills according to his level.""-
This was the first time I had seen so many messages at once. And that's when I realized how powerful this person named Lich was.
-->>The system said the former Ruler of the Dead. So has a new Ruler of the Dead been created? (I said it out loud)
-""Lich the Undead was a Ruler of the Dead. Even though he was a former Ruler of the Dead, a Ruler is never completely erased. By absorbing him, the Master has gained some of his memories. Also, if the Master wants, he can use Lich the Undead as his familiar. Since the Master is not yet strong, I would say take your familiar contract out of your inventory and create a contract with Lich the Undead.""-
I've been getting some pretty annoying stuff from my system for a long time, but seeing this brought a bit of peace to my mind.
-->>So, something has been found for the last sheep work. (Me)
I realized that I had done something that I could never do. And how was it possible? It was not because of my luck at all. According to the Phoenix Blessing, the system, I received this skill as a result of the physical touch of a Pure Phoenix Power user. Among the rest of my skills, it can be said that this is one of the most deadly skills.
-->>If one of my skills could take half the life of a demonic beast before, now it can kill it completely. What could be better than that? (Me)
Well my thoughts were in one place. Familiars, much like human pets. People can have as many pets as they want but they always have one that they like and prefer. Just like a person can have a familiar as their pet. I had heard a little about familiars from my mother, Maria. But I don't know the importance of their work because I've never seen them.
-->>But isn't it a bad thing to have a former Ruler of the Dead as a familiar? (Me)
After absorbing the man into Alex's body, I benefited in many ways. The best thing is that some of his memories have entered me as knowledge. As a result, I am able to learn a lot about the Rulers. Not only about the Rulers, but also about many unknown facts about the Universe.
-->>So these huge towers are just a few! We still have to enter the real tower. (Me)
Since there was no one in this place, I was talking very loudly. Although no one would ever believe it if they heard it. But can the knowledge of a ruler be false?
Heroes are very powerful beings. Some entities with their powers. In short, they are called rulers. Rulers have another identity. Many also know them as Gods. However, this ruler is not the most powerful in this universe. There are people above the rulers.
* * * * *
Alex realized that all this knowledge would not be of much use to him. He had to become strong. Even though this knowledge would not be of any use, he still could not put it aside. Alex had only wanted to become strong and leave this world. But his will was slowly changing. There was nothing in the world for which Alex would go there. Rather, he had found a greater treasure in his own knowledge.
-->>Then let's see the contract. (Alex)
Alex pulled out the familiar contract from his system inventory. It looked like a piece of paper. But before pulling it out, Alex looked at its use.
""
Item: Family Contract
Grade: S
By placing three drops of the host's blood on this paper, the host can create their familiar.
Condition: The host of this familiar contract can only make the former Ruler of the Undead his familiar.
""
Alex took out the paper from his inventory. By now he noticed that his body had also become normal. Even though he had been in his previous form in this white space until now, he had become Alex again. So he could feel his body. So he bit a finger on his right hand. By biting, he created a small wound. Thanks to his healing skill, he didn't have to worry about this small wound.
After three drops of blood fell from his hand, the contract paper began to burn. And it burned to ashes and fell to the ground. From the ashes emerged the Lich the Undead. Previously, its height was four times that of Alex's eleven-year-old body. But now Alex felt a little smile.
[Thank you, Master, for giving me the opportunity to serve you.]
The Lich the Undead is now half the size of Alex's small body. He still has black energy around him, and a small scythe in his hand. The one who looked so fierce just a moment ago now looks cute.
After the lich became Alex's familiar, everything white turned black again. But this time it was no longer like a dream. Alex opened his eyes. He found him in his tent. His body was quite weak, so he did not try to get up. But strangely, there was a projection in front of him,

Alex thought for a moment but wasn't sure. But after seeing it, he realized that Elaine had helped him. But he didn't understand if a kiss was needed for that?
