My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant

Fragment of the Immortal King (1)

It was dangerous.

‘I accidentally bit my throat, and my teeth won’t stick…’

It was a permanent shield just in case, the strength wasn’t that high, so it was quickly broken by the undead’s jaw power reinforced with black magic, but because of that, it couldn’t inflict a fatal wound.

Even when Zeraf spewed out black magic and was thrown away, he was confused.

I didn’t know anything about the magic of this world, so it was difficult to respond.

Fortunately, I was able to move the zombie behind him and stop it, but the plan almost failed without even trying.

I looked down at Geraph, who had become a corpse.

A village youth zombie was still hanging from his corpse, biting the nape of his neck.

These guys were bad guys from the beginning.

All the undead here, including that zombie, were victims of them.

That is why he killed a person for the first time, but the psychological impact was not great.

No, actually, it would have been dangerous without “Mind Hub”, but fortunately, it just felt like killing a character in the game now.

Rather, I have a problem to think about.

‘Actually, I saw an opportunity later and tried to hit the back of the head with a jjangdol.’

After watching Geraph’s words and actions, he got angry and decided to just act now.

However, when he had an intention to attack with his heart, Hans’s body instinctively attacked the neck with its teeth.

The subsequent response was also close to moving as the body led it.

‘But it’s hard to say that this is out of my control.’

It was said that he moved instinctively, but since it was an urgent situation, he was able to control it sufficiently, leaving him alone.

And it was definitely more effective than trying to hit the back of the head with a jjangdol.

If I had followed the original plan, I probably wouldn’t have broken the shield.

‘Still, this feeling…’

Yes, to compare it, it was like a habit engraved on the body.

If you are conscious, you can fully control it, but unconsciously, you move without realizing it.

I realized that I could not ignore the influence of the instincts engraved on my undead body.

Of course, it doesn’t really have any adverse effects on the body on Earth, but rather, you can take advantage of this point, but you should be careful first.

Now it was time to move on to the next plan.

***

Mayor Malcolm.

No, ‘Marcos Giocali’, one of the elders of the ‘Oath of Reversal’, a secret organization on the continent, was watching the scene in front of him with satisfaction.

A pulsating black gem that sucks the energy of death from the surrounding undead.

It’s been decades since I searched for the ‘Heart of the Immortal King’.

However, what they managed to find after hard work was nothing more than fragments in an incomplete state.

And in the process of moving to the base, there was a risk of being discovered by the denominations of the continent, so he picked a remote mountain village where no one would come, sealed the fragments there, and started the aging process.

A year has passed like that.

‘It’s coming soon. After a while, finally…’

There were not a lot of resources poured into ‘Fragments of the Immortal King’.

Even his position had already been shaken.

‘But when this is done, everything is turned upside down. stronger than ever…’

[Master?]

Then, suddenly, a communication came from the disciple who was guarding the entrance.

[What’s going on?]

[Master. It’s outside now….]

***

“So, my brother is in here!”

“So you don’t say that he left a while ago.”

I was making a commotion in front of the village.

The person in front was a middle-aged man I first met when I discovered the village.

“No, I mean, there must be a signal coming from here! Just let me go inside and check it out.”

“What do you mean by trusting in letting strangers in?”

“Oh, then, even the mayor, please let me see you in person and tell you!”

It would be great if we could bring out the village chief like this, but it didn’t matter because we could get information even if we didn’t come out.

Not coming out meant you were doing something important, and there was only one important thing in this town.

“I am the mayor. What’s the matter, you’re making such a fuss?”

And I expected that he would not be able to easily ignore or harm me.

There was already a person who came to visit the person who killed him thinking that there was no connection, and there is no way that such a thing should not happen again, so I would have wanted to figure out the situation first.

I greeted the mayor, Malcolm, with a friendly smile.

“hello. My name is Heinz. My twin brother, Hans, seems to be here, so I’m being rude.”

“Hmm, Hansra… I remember. But I think the young man said he got lost while traveling alone?”

“Ah… it’s a shame, but we had a big fight a while ago and we broke up. However, I came here because I felt that reconciliation had to be made.”

I can’t help but believe

Because my face must look just like ‘Hans’.

And now it doesn’t matter how you get out of there.

Because the purpose has already been achieved.

***

‘Heinz’ caused a commotion outside the village, and as soon as village chief Malcolm came out, ‘Hans’ moved immediately.

I thought the chance of ignoring it was pretty high, but I was lucky.

I heard it was an important moment, so I guess I wanted to take care of even the smallest things.

Even if a dangerous situation comes, there must be some unexpected things that will happen from the deepest part surrounded by a barrier.

Woo-

Thanks to this, I was able to stand in front of the ‘Fragment of the Immortal King’ without any hindrance.

When I came in contact with the fragments directly without going through the zombie rat Alfred, I could understand what aging meant.

Why did the undead surround them like that?

‘Are you absorbing black magic from the undead? No, is it resonance?’

The fragments did not simply absorb black magic.

Somewhere incomplete, while absorbing black magic, it was in the process of being stabilized by accepting and synchronizing the missing information.

Come to think of it, the undead standing around were nothing but ghosts and headless knights, all seemingly overbearing.

The one that looked the weakest was the Skeleton Knight, and it looked superior to the one I saw in the warehouse.

‘No, then the warehouse I was in was a warehouse for defective products, wasn’t it? I feel bad all of a sudden.’

In that ‘mature’ process, the low-level undead must have been nothing but impurities.

The reason he killed himself must have been to throw it away as food for fragments when a useful undead came out.

In the end, it did not live up to expectations and was thrown into a warehouse for defective products.

‘I’m rather fortunate, but are you strangely upset?’

As I got closer, I could feel the black magic of my body being sucked in with an overwhelming presence.

And at the same time realized its dangers.

If it were a living creature, it would become an undead just by touching it prematurely, and a person with a weak body would die even if they only breathe a few times next to them.

Aside from the power it possessed, it was nothing more than an agglomeration of a mighty curse in itself.

I reached out towards the ‘Fragment of the Immortal King’.

‘If you’re picky, you can’t use it. Where can I taste the junk food?’

Of course, I didn’t mean to just eat it.

There were some things I believed in.

***

“So, we are twins. From birth, we know where each other is.”

“Heh heh heh, that’s hard to believe…”

The village chief’s face, who smiled softly, suddenly hardened.

Then, he slowly twisted and turned towards the village with a face that became a monster.

Something is wrong with the fragment.

This wasn’t the time to wrestle with such an idiot.

“Kill him over there!”

Malcolm immediately used black magic and headed towards the shards and shouted.

At that order, the middle-aged man at the entrance of the village, the dark knight Baukal of ‘The Oath of Reverse Heaven’, immediately turned his head to kill Heinz.

“···when?”

There was no one there already.

***

[Kill it.]

…fear despair lament pain oppression madness lack hate lust for flesh anger….

All sorts of negative emotions flooded in.

[Hate all the living. Cover this land with despair. The more the world is stained with death, the stronger your power will be. long for life Take what you don’t have…]

‘Wow, isn’t this really a joke?’

The amount of information filtered through “Mind Hub” was enormous.

At a certain level, this inherent energy will not only make the body undead, but also completely destroy the mind and engulf it in fragments.

No, is there anyone who can survive this with a bare mind?

‘It has nothing to do with me.’

I continued what I was doing.

How did Malcolm notice how he headed this way, so there wasn’t much time left.

‘Something must have been done here as well.’

At this point, you could call it obsessive-compulsive.

If I had been able to withstand the effects of these fragments, I would have worn them all day.

‘I’ll try it once, I’m sure it’ll be fine. I think I’m almost done.’

Using the absorbed black magic as a medium, he tried to synchronize with the ‘Fragment of the Immortal King’ by utilizing the sense of controlling the undead.

If it was normal, it wouldn’t have been difficult.

However, I am an undead, and I have been able to ignore the violent mental attacks transmitted by the fragments and maintain my ego.

‘It would be nice, but even if it doesn’t work well, let’s try it with the significance of disturbing them.’

The fragments were incomplete and defenseless, resonating with their surroundings to fill in the gaps.

I inserted ‘Hans’ into the lack.

And the results were readily available.

“The object grows by fulfilling the condition. Acquire the special skill 「Evil Wisdom」.」

The phrase that appeared in front of you.

But even before seeing it, he was able to recognize his own change.

The body with nothing but bones remained the same, but the status of existence had changed.

And the new knowledge was imprinted in my head naturally.

[Five! Can you tell me now?]

He was able to speak by resonating black magic in his vocal cords, but that was only a minor change.

I lowered my head and looked down at my body.

A black gem pulsating between the ribs.

got a heart

＜object information＞

-Object Name: Hans

– Race: Undead (Demilich)

-Common Attributes: 「Mind Hub」, 「Super Recovery」

-Individual characteristics: 「Corrupted Heart」, 「Evil Wisdom」, 「Magic Affinity」

-Speciality: The rank has increased with the power of ‘Fragment of the Immortal King (1/3)’. The black magic latent in the fragments was assimilated with the individual. Mind Pollution did not occur under the influence of “Mind Hub”.

And I evolved from ‘Elite Skeleton’ to ‘Demi-Lich’, an immortal wizard.

***

Huyan was sitting in front of the secret passage today as well.

One of the zombie rats escaped yesterday and it was a punishment for not handling it in time.

‘Ah, for nothing, you wrote me as a jerk because of Zeraph.’

Come to think of it, it’s been quite some time since I went in, but Jeraf doesn’t come out.

‘It’s obvious, he must be angry with his personality.’

Huyan leaned back and leaned back on the chair.

A year has passed, but even today, this corner of the village is very leisurely.

The only thing he did today was to deliver the news from the village entrance to the master inside.

[Fuyan! Fuyan this child! What are you doing now!]

Kwadang!

At the sudden transmission of the master’s communication magic, Huyan fell backwards in a chair and tossed around.

[Yes! Master! There is nothing wrong here!]

Huyan jumped up, sat up on a chair, rubbed the back of his head and answered with courage, but the teacher’s voice did not subside.

[Is there anything wrong?! What a dog… No, check the fragments first! hurry! Contact Zeraph too!]

[Yes, yep! I’ll check it out right away!]

Because of the barrier surrounding the place where the fragments are, it was necessary to use a special magic tool provided at the entrance to transmit communications to the inside of the warehouse.

[hey! Jeraff! Stop and quickly check the debris… Huh?]

Huyan, who was in a hurry to send a communication to Zeraf, stopped moving and checked the magic tool again.

And sent the communication again.

[Geraph? Hey, can you hear Geraph?]

No reply came back.

In fact, it was natural.

Because it wasn’t connected in the first place.

“Uh… no, what’s going on?”

It was when Huyan jumped up from his seat in embarrassment.

Woo-

The magic circle at the entrance to the warehouse responded and the door swung open.

“hey! Jeraff! Why are you all of a sudden…”

Huyan, who looked back at the open door with a smile, immediately hardened as it was.

It wasn’t Jeraf who was standing in front of the door.

“Uh… uh… no, why…?”

Hundreds of undead, including skeletons emitting an ominous energy, were busy filling the passageway.

***

It was not difficult to lead the undead.

The amount of black magic in my body right now was different from when I used it by scraping something as large as a rat’s tail.

Since I was controlling so many numbers, I couldn’t even share my senses like when I connected with Alfred, but I was satisfied enough even now.

That’s probably because, under my control, there were not only zombies and skeletons, but also high-ranking soldiers who were near the shards.

‘They’re in bad shape because they’ve been sucked in for a long time by the debris…’

You’d be lucky if you got this much.

The remains of the undead were all over the floor around the ‘Fragment of the Immortal King’, no matter how many victims had been sacrificed during that time.

I led the undead and majesticly crossed the passage.

Soon there was an entrance leading to the outside.

‘There’s a barrier over there, so I wouldn’t be able to just leave… Should I smash it?’

After pondering for a moment, I immediately realized something and put my hand on the door, just as Geraph had done.

And I was able to directly experience the effects of “Evil Wisdom”.

Woo-

The magic circle responded and the door opened.

Now, to me, black magic was no longer an unknown mystery.
