Shina led Tsukimi to the basement while Shana clung to him like a sloth to a tree.At the bottom was a dark room full of weapons. Shina touched the wall facing the south and a giant purple complex magic circle appeared. It flew brightly as it got more complex. Then after a while, a bright yellow light shone revealing a portal. Yellow chains followed suit. Tsukimi was in awe. Shana and Shina both cut each other's palms and purple blood oozed out.They touched the chains and they slowly cracked and broke to pieces."Come on Tsukimi, let's go meet someone," they said tandomly.
They grabbed his hand forcefully and pulled him through. Almost immediately, he felt weakened by the air. A purple fog entered the airspace that sent a death grip down his spine. Tsukimi coughed for a bit before noticing his surroundings.He looked forward to notice a number of black eyed zombies.They were all just walking around. Shana laughed and said," Why does dad like leaving his soldiers to walk around aimlessly."
" Don't worry, I got this," said Shina.
Shina's eye glows red and all the undead before them moved to the side. It was a guard of honor of zombies leading to a throne. The throne had five ghoulish beings going up the stairs. One of them stood beside the throne and he appeared to be the most powerful. He was the only ghoul with red eyes. He looked at Tsukimi and a sense of loyalty came off those eyes. On the throne was something else. It was a being of unparalleled power. He was sleeping on his wrist. Part of his shirtless chest had rot off matching his right cheek which had a scarab eating off. He wore regal clothes from an ancient time period. To Tsukimi it was as if he had seen that being somewhere." Okay Tsukimi, Introducing our father...," began Shina
" THE UNDEAD KING!" shouted Tsukimi waking the being by accident.
" Correct," said Shana," See, I told you he will tell who it is just by seeing him. You owe me a hundred gold coins."
" Fine," said Shina pulling out her phone.
" What is going on?" asked Tsukimi frozen in fear.
The king looked at him with one glowing red eye since the other eye socket was empty. Tsukimi stuttered back." Why is he here in our base..," began Tsukimi appeared in front of him emitting black energy off his corpse of a body.
He looked at the lone eye looking at him and could not move an inch." So you are my son. Long time no see little man," said the king hugging him.
" Wait? What? What are you doing to me?" asked Tsukimi shaking.
" Oh, I guess you don't follow with what is going on Tsukimi. I am your father and your are my son," said the king moving back to look at his son at arm's length.
"Isn't that awesome Tsukimi," exclaimed Shana.
Tsukimi passed out on the spot.
( Three hours later)
Tsukimi wakes up on a bed of somewhat soft fur to find his sisters arguing with the king. He slowly sat up while groaning. The trio stopped arguing and the twins rushed to check on him. He reassured them and got the courage to question the king." So, judging from my sisters' reactions, you really are my father?" asked Tsukimi
" Yes, I am your father," he answered
" So it's because of you that my mom is the hospital under a curse. She is a holy mana mage with her own astral plane, how did you give her an undead curse?" asked Tsukimi
The king gave a sigh and looked at the bed of animal fur before facing his son. He looked him straight in the eye and said," The one who gave your mother the curse is you."
"What!" exclaimed Tsukimi
"Dad!" the twins shouted when the king raised his hand to shut them up.
" Let me explain. When your mother conceived your sisters, she had some residue of of my magic inside her and she had no way of defending herself against it. Then she asked for a son. I refused on the grounds it will be dangerous for her but she said she was too powerful to be killed by a stupid curse. She was right. When you were born, all living things in a kilometer radius decayed to death. Luckily, you were born here in this realm. It was once bright and sunny, huh, anyways. It was obvious from that that you were to be my heir but that just meant your mother was in more danger than we had realized. She named you Tsukimi meaning ' unkillable grace of the dead'. Then she entered her coma. So now that you know what happened, what do you say," explained the king
" As I thought, I was the reason she was cursed. What can I do to save her?" asked Tsukimi
" That's my son. The only way is for you to get stronger and master your power. As heir only you have enough you can cute her. Especially with your ' Corrosion skill'. Improve this and you will see what I mean," said the king.
Tsukimi bit his lip and bowed his head on the bed towards the king and begged," Please my king, train me. I know under your power I can attain what I seek."
The king smirked widely revealing rotting teeth that matched those of a vampire." That is the way I was expecting you to react. Shina, how many days do we have till the exams?" asked the king.
" Two months," Shina answered.
" So we have two months to make you experience being on the brink of death. Don't worry, by the time I'm done, you would wish you didn't have immortality," said the king as his body emitted menacing black aura.
" I'm already regretting this," said Tsukimi.
" Good luck little bro," said Shina disappearing.
"You'll need it," said Shana disappearing.
" What kind of hell did I sign up for?" said Tsukimi looking at the being that resembled the grim reaper who apparently had flesh.
" So shall we begin your new hell?" asked the king who was still smirking.
