Im so sorryI dont really understand. Ive never died beforeI mean, this is the first time Ive ever been to a place like this. Ive never heard of this space existing.
So, if its not too much trouble to explain.Can I ask you one thing? Is it possiblefor me to return to my previous location?
Ah. Dont worry about that. Youll be back soon. In about two minutes, even if you wanted to stay longer, you wont be able to.
Perhaps in response to my courteous tone, Dawon answered quite sincerely this time. If in two minutes Ill be sent back even if I wanted to stay.Does this mean the transportation process is automatic?
In addition, I was both confused and relieved that Seo Dawon, contrary to my expectations, had not bothered to pester me into signing a contract.
By the way, it seems like youre confident in your ability to run away after these two minutes? I brought you here since you were begging for help, but youre more relaxed than I thought youd be.
Huh?
Bae Jaemin and Lim Jisoo were about to chance upon your hiding location. If you return, youll return to that exact same situation.Is that really okay?
What?
I didnt quite understand what he had said, and my mouth was left ajar. At my stupid face, Seo Dawon kindly explained the situation again, as if he was teaching a child.
Ive pulled you into something we can call my consciousness. In this space, time flows extremely slowly. So, back in the real world, Lim Jisoo and Bae Jaemin are still on the verge of uncovering your location but have yet to make the actual discovery. Unfortunately, I cannot keep you for a limitless amount of time in this spatial distortion; I can only continue talking to you like this for two more minutes.
T-then if I returnIm going to run into Bae Jaemin and Lim Jisoo?
Most likely, yes?
Contrary to his kind and patient explanation, his responses seemed aloof.

But, according to his explanation, time had been extended just before my impending deathIt means that Bae Jaemin is waiting for me after my untimely return.
If you think about the personalities of the two, as seen in Seo Dawons memoriesit would be strange to not doubt my own livelihood in this situation. Before they found me, hydrochloric acid or some other further trouble, they had these kinds of meaningful conversations as well.
Lim Jisoo, who would melt the bodies of the murdered Red Lotus Guild with hydrochloric acid, had a thorough and vigilant personality. I dont know about Bae Jaemin, but Lim Jisoo was truly a shrewd villain. So, with her cruel and meticulous personality, it was clear that she would try to kill me with no regard to any excuses I might make.
Actually, even if I were Lim Jisoo, I would kill myself to stave off further issues in the future. My hiding location was just too suspicious.
I sat down and clutched my head while working through the implications and politics of the situation. At this moment, I recalled the one person that might be able to help me overcome this crisis.
I eagerly shouted to Seo Dawon, though I had no idea where he could be. Seo Dawon-nim! Then.Is there no way for me to escape safely? Could you return me to someplace different.?
No. Im already dead?
Seo Dawon refrained from answering clearly, again. And, as if to tease me, he sarcastically added Now, theres only 1 minute and 10 seconds left.
I called upon him again, feeling like a ritual summoner talking to a deity through a magic circle. I made up my mindnothing was going to stop me now.
D-dawon-nimThen, what if you made a contract with me?
A contract?
However, Seo Dawons reaction was a far cry from what I had expected.
The contract was the ace up my sleeves, and I thought hed jump at that chance with glinting eyes.But Seo Dawon responded with a complicated voice, as if he had no expectations nor interest in the matter.
Confused by the unexpected reaction, I hesitatingly stuttered, I-Im a Necromancer. But I got the feeling that Seo Dawon wasnt particularly listening. His soul seemed to disseminate this aura of Oh really? How interesting. But what does that have to do with me?
What? Doesnt he want to jump at this chance..
An idea crossed my brain like a bolt from the blue.

Why not? You have to get your revenge! Its not fair!
I couldnt let myself die without a struggle, like a mouse or a bird. I blurted out any explanation I could think of, while feeling like I was clinging onto the invisible hem of Seo Dawons intangible legs.
Revenge? But, my revenge has nothing to do with you, right? And, similarly, your death shouldnt matter to me either.
Thats.
And if you wanted to sign a contract with me in the first place, you would have immediately summoned me after viewing my memoriesI wonder why you suddenly desire that now?
But, but Seo Dawon-nim had just brought me here
Oh this? This was an unintentional intervention. Vengeful spirits are typically sensitive to a Necromancers desiremost want to curry their favor for revival. Thats why I brought you here instinctively. Should I call it an accident? If you want, I can send you back right now.
He answered neatly, saying the process was instinctual. But, strangely enough, I could feel a stinging hostility within his flawless explanation. Its like hes laughing at me for daring to broach the subject of a contractwhat did he expect from me?
But no matter how hard I thought, I had no other choice. In the end, I could only helplessly ask again, Do you really have no desire to sign a contract with me?
Why? Youre not sincerely invested in my revenge, right?
Itsnot that I wasnt investedLet me explainI just thought that it was too difficult for me at this moment. So
You think its impossible to attain revenge with your current power?
Yes.
Then I should ask. If you have neither the ability nor the will to avenge mewhy should I tie myself to your fate? After I died, I was obsessed with my revenge and even missed the chance to reach nirvana.
His words were reasonable, and I was lost for words for a moment.
I was just too foolish. How stupid of me to think I can gamble a ghosts quest for vengeance with my life! So, I tried again, No! If you could save my life this time.! No matter what happens, I WILL avenge you!

However, Seo Dawon seemed to have lost all interest and didnt even reply. I felt a cold gaze, as if he didnt care whether or not I would survive on my own power after being flung from this safe space.
Seo, Seo Dawon-nim! I spoke wrongly! If only you would help me just this once.Ill do my best to help you get even. I-Ill do anything I can. And you ask me, tell me to doI dont want to die like this. Although Im so sorry to say I dont want to die in front of a dead personStill, Im so scared. AndAnd Im really sorry! Im going to die a dogs death
..
Maybe my life would have meaning if I became a ranker like you.Every day Ive been ignored and underestimated.Its the first time Ive entered such a Dungeon and Ive made it all the way hereIf I die here, no one will know or tell my mother the news of my death.
I felt like I was speaking to myself; I felt so unbelievably frustrated. I shut my mouth to calm down for a moment butsuddenly, a flood of tears burst from my eyes. Ah! Fuck! I really needed to fix the habit of crying while frustrated.
Apart from embarrassment, resentment deepened within the depths of my heart. To be honest, in this revenge, Im like a crippled shrimp in a fight between whales. Lim Jisoo, Bae Jaemin, Seo Dawonmy fatethe danger of deathis tied to the swaying whims of people I had nothing to do with just this morning.
Really, this Necromancer is nothing more than a hopeless class. Ah, before this happened, I should have accepted Hong Seung-min sunbaes advice and left the Hub to take the civil service exam.
There was no end to my pessimistic thoughts, and now I was certain that Seo Dawon would never want to contract with a loser like me. When I leave this space, Ill run into Bae Jaeminshould I just beg Jaemin to spare my life? AhAll sorts of crazy thoughts began to flood my brain before reality struck me.
Are you finished crying?
Just then, Seo Dawon asked, without hiding the fact that he had been observing me all this while. At his words, I almost cursed at him, but I stood still. It would be accurate to say that I didnt even have the energy to be angry.
In addition, the magic underneath my feet flickered alarmingly. As Seo Dawon said, I would soon be brought out of this space and back to my original location. When I go back, Ill be right in front of Bae Jaemin, right? I should get on my knees and praythats all that I can do.
Haa..Fuck it.
Would he spare a stranger when he was someone who could bear to betray a guild member he had known for several years? Damn. If I knew this would happen, I would have called my mom in the morning.
Hey. You dont want to die, right?
Suddenly, Seo Dawons voice, full of vigor, could be heard above my head.
TL: Sorry, this isnt really edited as much by me (because Im a bit busy today). Im planning on getting a few chapters out pretty fast soon.
