The Dungeon Master's
Arc 2 - Awakening
...9 August 2074...
...[.The Death Army has moved!]...
The news was clearly visible in various media. From the television channel, MeTube to the social networking app on every mobile phone of news subscribers Re:Life.
Even so, Re:Life players who have reached the billion mark make this news a hot topic for everyone.
“Hei! Have you heard of the news?” Said a man in a cafe.
“Yes. I didn't expect that this would actually happen.”
“I agree with you. Didn't we as players obey his wishes? Why did he do it?”
The atmosphere of the cafe which was originally quite calm is now a little crowded. After all, the occurrence of the movement of the death squad had caused misery for the entire Player in the region.
Starting from the difficulty to find a place to rest, hunt monsters, sell the hunted to take the Quest in the Guild.
Day by day passed. But the news that appeared in various media only added to the annoyance of all the players playing in the region.
...[.The land of death is beginning to expand!]...
...[.The number of death squads continues to grow!]...
...[.Is this the ultimate sign of the lives of all the players and NPCs in the region?]...
Until finally….
A new news that again shook the world was delivered in various media.
...[.A renowned Top Player has appeared to fight the King of Death!]...
“Eh?!”
“Did this really happen?!”
Everyone is happy to know that the crisis is coming to an end. But it all collapsed with a simple sentence.
“Do not believe. It was likely just an ordinary player who thought that he had special powers and could win against that King of Death.”
Hearing those words, everyone regained their consciousness.
“You're right, there's been a lot of Top Players challenging it. Even the troops from the kingdom..”.
“Wait! He right?!”
Instantly, the eyes of the entire person began to sparkle. They began to see a glimmer of hope seeing the figure of someone fighting against the King of Death.
“Maybe…. If that person...”.

...World Re:Life...
...The Territory of a Kingdom...
The view is very strange.
In this vast plain without the slightest obstruction, there was clearly a line separating the region from the North and South.
In the South, it is clearly visible that the existing soil begins to become pitch black with a little purplish color. Not only that, all life could not survive in that land. Not even an ant could be found in the middle of the black plains.
While in the North, clearly visible grasslands are green and fertile. Some trees appear to grow and decorate this meadow.
But….
The black ground began to slowly spread.
Second by second….
The black ground crept and began to turn off the beautiful meadow as if it had an extremely powerful poison.
In less than 3 seconds. The rabbit appeared to be receiving a deadly poison. His entire body began to melt and in an instant only left behind bones that were absorbed into the ground and were now part of that black soil.
A moment later, a small paw popped from underground where the rabbit died. When the claw began to be able to penetrate the ground, it was seen a monster with a body that was only a bone. It was an Undead Rabbit.
“So that land is able to kill anything that touches it and turn it into Undead?” Said a man standing on the border between the black land and the meadow.
‘Tap! Tap!’
The man tried to step his feet to enter the territory with the black ground.
‘Suuwaasshh!!! Wuoosshh!!’
Instantly, the man's feet began to burn with a blackish-purple flame. Not only that, a smoke appeared that began to melt his shoes. Immediately, the man leapt back and away from the black ground.
“Really…. How can one have such power? I guess, I have to deal with it immediately before this black land swallows the entire world.” Said the Man.
But now, he no longer planned to walk. Except….
“Fly!” Briefly talk. A green-colored magic circle began to surround his body. Soon after, his body was enveloped in a beautiful green light.
The man immediately flew south.
His goal?
A giant palace that was pitch-black.
Around the palace, it is clearly visible a lot of buildings such as warehouses, production facilities and so on with all black color. Not only that, the entire population was an Undead race.
They seem to work neatly even without orders. Some were seen forging swords, while others appeared to be building towers.
But at a time when the man was still busy to observe the terrible scene under his feet….
‘Syuuutt!! Duaaarr!!”
A purplish-colored magic bullet shot very quickly towards him. The explosion was so large that it blew away several buildings and the Undead below.
When he saw that, the man seemed quite upset.
“So this is how you treat a guest? Firing a magic bullet containing a deadly poison?” The man spoke in various directions around him even though it was obvious that there were no intelligent beings.
But the answer came shortly after.
Not an answer in words. Except a crack on the ground. The crack was like a broken glass and behind the broken hole, several people passed through it.
“Succubus, Dark Elves, Cyclops, Vampires, and Ogres huh?” The man spoke briefly after noticing the figure of the 5 demons that appeared behind the crack.
But his expression did not change at all. As if….
“Where is your leader claiming to be the King of Death?” The man asked the 5 Devils who were under his feet.
“Low-humans like you are totally unfit to call it!”
“We're gonna kill you here, man! I won't let anyone stop the plan!”
Some of those Devils started to babble at various intimidating things. But the man laughed listening to their chatter.
“Hahahaha!!! Killing me? A human? Looks like you guys got a little bit wrong.” Shouted the man while laughing.
Hearing that senseless rant, the six Devils began to be puzzled. But before they could ask the Man anything, the Man's body immediately changed slowly.
“You?! Immediately use space controller magic!” Shouted one of the Devils after realizing the true figure of the Man before him.
One of the Devils who heard it immediately activated the space manipulation control skill.
“Dimensional Lock!”
The man's slowly changing body showed a terrible smile.
“Don't get me wrong. Lowly demons like you have no right to even see my master! Therefore, I will finish you off with my own hands!”
With that sentence, the epic battle that would determine the fate of Players and NPCs throughout this region of the kingdom began.
