Chapter Text
•Necromancer (?) Basen AU.
————————————————————————————
Basen still remembers, before he regained consciousness, he was clearly...
The bewildered teenager looked around at the ruins of the war, raising his hand to observe.
...Clearly dead?
His hands were filled with black glands, and his hands were also smaller than those in his hazy memory.
What's going on?
------------------------------------------------------------
This is the third day since waking up from that "death".
Basen confirmed his status.
He may not eat, drink or clean at all.
Just keep absorbing the surrounding black gas.
And this gas black color, Basen also figured out what that was.
That's the thing called Dead Mana.
In that hazy memory, Basen knew that creatures that could absorb dead Mana were all creatures of darkness.
And the person who killed him, most of them used Mana to die....
So, Basen is what existence?
------------------------------------------------------------
On the fifth day, finally picking up a mirror, Basen took the opportunity to observe his present self.
Of course....
Basen looked at his face covered in glandular black, pursed his lips.
Fortunately, because of hiding, he always did not reveal his face.
For now, it's still to find Hyung-nim and his sister.
In his mind were two people that Basen had exchanged his life for to save them.
Are they still alive?
------------------------------------------------------------
On the eighth day, Basen discovered he could control the dead.
This ability is unintentionally activated when Basen fights off enemies with a white star and five red stars on the shirt.
And in those bodies, the little girl's figure made Basen's eyes hurt.
At the end of the battle, Basen carefully found a large box, carefully put the girl inside and put it in the magic space bag.
Now was still not the time to find out where Lily was buried.
Not yet.
------------------------------------------------------------
Day XX, Basen received information about the summons against the White Star.
Basen feeling, Hyung-nim will be there.
But with this form, Basen couldn't join them.
------------------------------------------------------------
No.
No no no!!!
"Hyung-nim...."
Staring at the red hair slowly fading, Basen quickly ran to Cale's side.
Obviously, obviously avoiding all the possibilities of Hyung-nim being found out!?
"Necromancer?"
The culprit's curious voice made Basen raise his head, eyes filled with hatred.
"No, your time is also distorted, what are you?"
To this question, Basen did not answer.
All the surrounding corpses come to life, aiming for the other red hair on the battlefield.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Strange, really strange."
Basen opened his eyes again, and in front of him was a figure in a black robe, covering they curious figure squatting worthy of him.
Wasn't he dead again?
Basen still remembers the feeling when that white masked bastard killed him.
But that's okay, Basen also responded to that guy.
Hope that black-haired hero knows how to take advantage of the opportunity....
"Hey, can you hear me?"
A snap of they fingers rang out from the front, awakening Basen from his hazy state.
"....Who are you?"
The black figure happily patted Basen's head, in response, Basen angrily patted the person's hand.
That person was also not angry, happily asked Basen.
"I'm God of Death, young man, do you interested in becoming a saint?"
"Huh???"
------------------------------------------------------------
Cale Henituse, no, Kim Rok Soo was satisfied with his current life.
The body is perfect, the colleagues are also ok, the reincarnated mother is about to be able to bring it back,...
Although still wondering what the hell did the name exchange body with him end up doing with his old body, but nonetheless Kim Rok Soo is satisfied with life as the leader of this group.
Until today.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Basen, do you really not want to be my saint?"
"No."
Basen looked closely at the man fighting the monster, hesitantly turning his head towards the darkness.
"Is that really Hyung-nim?"
"Yes, it's 100% your Cale, but do you really disagree...."
"Don't mind God of Death, they always like that."
Choi Jung Soo sighed, patting Basen's shoulder comfortingly.
"Anyway you already understand what I'm teaching, just go ahead and say hello to my dongsaeng-like sacrificial kid."
Hearing "sacrifice kid", Basen's eyes twitched.
"...Thank you for your hard work taking care of Hyung-nim, Jung Soo-nim."
"Hey hey, why can't I be called nim?!"
The two collectives ignored the childish God of Dead bothering, offering their farewells.
"Remember, the first time you meet, you have to do something cool!"
"Yes!"
Looking at the two of them completely ignoring their, God of Death sadly went away.
Hic, still a good Cage, don't ignore they QAQ.
------------------------------------------------------------
Kim Rok Soo, who was fighting monsters with the team 1, suddenly noticed an abnormality.
The black mist gradually enveloped the monster, rendering it immobile.
Another monster that had already been killed suddenly moved, plunging to bite the monster to death.
"What the hell is going on, leader?!"
The members were also surprised to see the situation, instinctively standing next to Kim Rok Soo watched the situation warily.
When the monsters died, the black fog gradually receded, moving in one direction.
Kim Rok Soo followed the mist, a black figure walked towards them.
"Long time no see, Hyung-nim."
The teenager took off his hat, revealing a familiar face to Kim Rok Soo.
Except for the black lines that covered the boy's face.
Ignoring the surprised members shouting behind, Kim Rok Soo stared at the familiar face.
"Why...."
The sepia pupils trembled, staring at the smiling teenager.
Wasn't he....
"Basen?"
Meanwhile, Choi Jung Soo had a headache and supported his forehead.
It too much.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Is this where hyung-nim lives?"
Basen held a cup of warm tea and looked around curiously, like a child visiting someone else's house for the first time.
Kim Rok Soo looked like a 15-year-old Basen, twitching the corner of his mouth.
Kim Rok Soo looked at the teenager who looked like Basen when he was about 15 years old, twitching the corner of his mouth.
Although this kid looks a lot like Basen, even calling him "Hyung-nim"....
But the thing is, the hyung-nim in Basen's mouth is Cale Henituse.
Now he is Kim Rok Soo, how does Basen recognize...
No, the first question is why is Basen here?
Kim Rok Soo thoughtfully drank tea, his mind became confused with a bunch of theories.
Then looking at Basen gracefully and happily handling a plate of cookies, now looking at him pitifully, Kim Rok Soo sighed.
Okay, time to call Choi Sung Soo.
------------------------------------------------------------
It was the best decision Kim Rok Soo ever made.
Understanding Basen's past experiences, Kim Rok Soo increasingly treats Basen as his son (???), and grows closer.
Then, if more future niece (mother) will come here, Kim Rok Soo's family will have three people.
Of course, in the future, there will be a big misunderstanding about the relationship between Kim Rok Soo and Basen in the eyes of outsiders.
But this is another story in the future.
