My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 101: Hades Successor



Chapter 101: Hades Successor

—–

Ruby, Zhulong, and Ginseng quickly noticed as their master was shrieking in the ground, grasping his chest in pain… they saw as the life of his entire self was slowly dissipating.

“Grawr!” roared Ruby, nervously leaping towards Frank, roaring, and trying to ask what he was going through.

“Roar!”

Even Zhulong tried to do something, he had just been born into this world, but he saw Frank as his master nonetheless, and he was very concerned about what was happening to this human now.

“Muh…”

And Ginseng slowly walked towards Frank, showering him with healing spells, trying to heal whatever pain he was suffering from.

“Ruby, Zhulong, Ginseng… Unghh…!”

Frank patted Ruby’s head one last time as he lost his breath, resting into the ground as the cold breeze went through his body… he was dead.

Frank’s consciousness drifted through an endless darkness, finding a floating skull in the middle of it.

“Where am I now? Did I really… No… I died?!” he said.

“Ah, there you are. Do you like this skull form? Fitting for a God of the Underworld, right?” asked the skull, with the voice of Hades.

“You! You killed me?! Are you kidding me?! Are you planning to make me a zombie or something now?!” asked Frank in anger, he wanted to grab Hades and break him apart even more, but he couldn’t touch him.

“To use the powers within my soul, you have to grasp the first principle, death. And what’s the easiest method to understand death than to actually die?” asked Hades.

“Yeah, but you should have asked first! I liked being alive!” said Frank.

“Don’t worry, you will come back about… now,” said Hades, as Frank’s vision changed yet again, he was greeted by the moonlight and the heads of his pets, Ruby was weeping in sadness over Frank’s chest, roaring as if she had lost the most precious thing in her life… Zhulong seemed confused but still sad, and Ginseng was on the floor releasing radish juice through its little eyes, seemingly crying.

“Ah…!”

Frank had opened his eyes, glancing at the three, his arms moved automatically as he hugged them all, tears flowing from his eyes… dying was not an experience to laugh at, it was terrifying and even traumatic.

Frank through that he had become senseless, but he had not, dying really was something he had never pictured to experience, as you would often not come back from that experience, to begin with!

Ruby, Zhulong, and Ginseng were surprised as Frank raised from the dead, hugging him as they could and licking him… even the arrogant Zhulong seemed to have become oddly friendly after such an experience.

“Graawrr… Graawr!”

Ruby cried as she rubbed her little head on Frank’s chest, Frank kissed her forehead as he apologized for the scare he had caused to his companions.

“I am sorry… Ah… This was… something else entirely… Fucking Hades…” muttered Frank.

“HEY! Who are you calling ‘fucking Hades’?!” asked Hades, appearing out of Frank’s soul as the floating skull covered in blue flames.

“You fucking killed me! How don’t you want me to get angry? Did you think I was someone who had given up on everything or something? I have an entire life ahead, and my family too! Experiencing death almost fucked my mind over, more than it is already, you fucking useless piece of shit!” roared Frank.

“W-Woah, relax there… Sorry! I am really sorry, I didn’t know you would get so affected by it! You really seemed tough and all…” said Hades.

“Well, I am tough, but still a human!” said Frank.

“Yeah… I suppose I got too much into the whole successor thing… But don’t worry, you’re technically alive again, but you’ve gained the ability to also be an Undead! So nothing changes! Don’t worry, and let me explain things out!” said Hades.

Frank sighed as he glanced at his hands, they were pale white.

He glanced at the reflection of his eyes near a pond of water, and they were crimson red.

He felt he was as cold as ice, and that his heart was not beating at all.

“I am clearly not alive…” said Frank.

“You will be able to turn into a living, don’t worry! Also, don’t you feel like your soul is stronger now? You should have gotten the abilities I am talking about through your System, check them out and then try to bark at me again,” said Hades confidently.

Frank wanted to break Hade’s skull head with a hammer until only dust remained, but he sighed once again, glancing at his System notifications, which he had ignored since ‘rising from death’.

“And it’s done! What a turn of events, isn’t it? How do you feel about your newfound abilities?” asked Hades, floating around Frank as he was left in a dazzle.

“This is… a bit too much to handle… let me check them out first…” said Frank, with a slight annoyance.

“Well holy shit, that’s a lot of info, but I get it now, I kind of get it now… Undead Progenitor Transformation…” said Frank, as sudden darkness shrouded his entire body, his skin once again turned healthy, his eyes became blue once again, and his heart became to beat as if nothing had ever happened… He even felt the blood flow within his body resume, quickly giving him a feeling of warmness.

“I am… alive again… What a relief…” said Frank, sighing and resting in the grass, as Ruby, Zhulong, and Ginseng, rested with him.

“See? I told you that you would be fine… Now, my successor, you must train your Skills and raise the dead!” said Hades.

“I am still pissed off with you, you know?” said Frank.

“Don’t be an immature brat and get over it!” said Hades.

“I am not letting myself be manipulated by you, you hear me?” said Frank, his eyes flashing eerily.

“Manipulating? Why would I do that? I gave you all of this power and this is how you treat me? unbelievable! Sheesh… Man, I miss Cerberus…” said Hades, sitting on the floor, his existence now was a floating skull that Frank could not touch and that Ruby and the others could not see, only Frank.

“Did you had a family before?” asked Frank.

“Like hell I had, I had the biggest family in the underworld… And damn that I miss them all, brat… You gotta appreciate your family, you hear me? They’re precious people that bring happiness to your life…” said Hades.

“What with the melancholy now? Sigh… Alright, let’s raise the death,” said Frank, opening his Inventory and taking out four corpses…

“I really didn’t think that I would be using you three so soon…” said Frank.

“Oho?! So these were the bustards that you told me about, huh? They shall become good and loyal pawns now! I tell you! Gahaha!” laughed Hades.
