Chapter 97

As an Evil God, Fenny had always worked diligently for the Underworld King.

Until one morning, as he was flying to the human world as usual, he was suddenly caught by the wings. Instantly, the space and time around him twisted. Amidst exaggerated exclamations and cheers, he saw a strange blindfolded girl.

“Gold Card! A newcomer actually drew a Gold Card, what an unparalleled honor! With the power of an Evil God, you will surely go far in the Necromancer Game!” The Guide of this Game Instance grinned sinisterly. “Provided you don’t draw one of the bad-tempered lords. Let me see which one it is…”

Necromancer Game?

A popular human live-streaming game in the Underworld where nearly every ghost has a hand.

He had actually been drawn by a human and was to become a bound Evil God?

He should never have been tricked by the Developer into signing that agreement!

They had said the probability would be reduced again and again, and the chance of being drawn by a human in the game was a negligible 1%, practically zero!

The Guide moved closer to the card with slimy tentacles, trying to make out the name on it.

But was suddenly frightened by a terrifying, icy aura and retreated repeatedly.

“Looks like it’s a lord with a terrible temper!” The Guide shivered all over from the cold, and prophesied to the girl who clutched the card tightly, her hand turning purple but refusing to let go, “You’re doomed!”

“You definitely won’t survive the first night!”

–

Fenny endured the darkest day of his ghostly life.

Upon learning that he had been drawn out by a human in the Necromancer Game, his Evil God colleagues mocked him even louder one after another.

“You have to work for the Underworld King and also give your nights to humans in the Necromancer Game. Are you working two jobs?”

“Is it because you’re too weak that you got drawn out? Why has this never happened to us! We all signed the agreement together!”

“Let me interview you: what does it feel like to be drawn by a human?”

“If the King finds out, he’ll be furious. This is a disgrace to the noble status of the Evil Gods!”

The only colleague with a conscience gave him some advice:

“During the Game Night, you can trade for her soul and make her die! Humans are full of all sorts of desires, they’re riddled with loopholes before us, a little probing and you’ll get it!”

“Better settle this before the King finds out!”

With a clear goal, Fenny calmed down as well.

That’s right.

He was proficient in illusions.

On the first Game Night, he took the form of his Crow body, hiding in the darkness of the room’s corner, waiting for the human’s weakest moment to come.

Sleep.

When her guard was down.

The success rate of illusions was extremely high in such a state.

He had to ensure the success rate of his illusion, because this human seemed to be blind, and lacking the sense of sight, illusions could potentially fail.

To die in a dream-this was his final mercy to this unfortunate human.

When the girl’s breathing became steady, he flew from the darkness onto the bed, transforming into a human form while keeping his sharpest claws, just waiting for her nod so he could fiercely rip out her Heart.

The illusion indeed worked.

But no matter what he asked under the illusion, the girl only “stared” at him for a long time through that white bandage.

In the end, she actually reached out and hugged him tightly.

He froze for two seconds, missing the best moment to break free, and the girl started talking.

“I… I miss you so much.”

Fenny tilted his head.

Miss whom? A lover?

The clothing on his chest was soaked in dampness.

It was the first time he felt cold on himself.

“And your children.”

His human body only retained some Crow features on the head; Fenny tilted his head to the other side again.

Not shared children?

Lover divorced and with kids? That must be a second marriage.

She didn’t even look that old.

“Mom, I failed to take care of them. They died because of me. It’s all my fault.”

Fenny had half-raised his claw, lifted and lowered it again, then lifted it once more.

So, it’s mother.

The clothing on his chest was soaked through.

How could she cry so much?

He was obviously waiting for this human to apologize at the right moment.

Yet, for some reason, he listened to her talk all night.

He listened to her talk about her sinful birth to her envy of other children having a childhood.

Game Day was coming, and her story wasn’t finished.

In the end, he used his sharp claw to lift the human’s hair.

So strange.

He decided to kill her the next night.

Having finished the first half, he wanted to hear the rest of the story.

–

Recently, the King hadn’t assigned heavy work, so he even had time to slack off during the day.

So he used a small convenience and entered Game Day.

He followed the human from afar, secretly watching her every move.

The girl was completely different during the day and night.

Cold and smart.

When other humans flailed about like headless flies rushing to their deaths, she cleared the Instance alone.

On the second Game Night, he finished the rest of her story.

Then he returned to his Palace.

He rummaged through the shiny things from the human world he liked to collect after becoming an Evil God.

He actually found a few marbles.

He compared them under the light.

He picked out the shiniest one.

Clutching the marble in his beak, he was on his way back to Game Night when he saw a lake.

He gazed at his reflection in the water.

It reminded him of when he used to travel through the human world in his true form.

Some were terrified at the sight of him, seeing it as an omen of a bad, gloomy day.

Some hated his unpleasant cry.

In human eyes,

he seemed ugly.

The first time meeting her,

what appearance should he show her, so as not to frighten her?

—

Game Instance Hall.

Luo Jia Bai excitedly described to Lu Li how relaxed and wonderful his last two days had been.

“Forty-eight hours! Two days and two nights! Even when I sleep, Evil Spirits can’t bother me because holidays aren’t Game Instances!”

He couldn’t help raising his voice, but fearing jealousy from nearby Players, he quickly leaned closer to Lu Li, winking, “Quick, tell me how you did it! What did you offer the Evil God!?”
