[VRMMO] Dead One

Me and the demon lord made few deals behind the scenes.

One of the deals was for us to become "Friends".

Simply put, it's a fragile alliance that both sides can cut off at any moment.

However, since we are the "Heroes" of the Umil kingdom, by being "Friends" with us, she becomes somewhat closer to her neighboring kingdom who is quite strong.

Both Umil and the Liefay kingdoms will become big in the future and we were the ones who helped the two nations become allies in a sense.

So, both the queens were grateful to us.

There was also other deals, exchanges and other stuff going on.

However, one of the most important bits was this.

Lich ritual.

The demon lord made a deal with me to turn me into a lich.

However, there were few problems.

The first problem was that nobody seen or heard of the dragon or the dragonewt turning not into undead dragon, but instead a freckling lich. Its huge difference.

So, with that in mind, we needed to make somewhat bigger and stronger ritual just in case.

And would you look at that? We collected "Fuel" while we were murdering those empire soldiers.

So, we were ready.

When all necessary things got prepared, the demons and the necromancers began setting up things.

The demon lord wanted to watch and all, but she is right now stuck with her work. I could even hear her screaming and cursing all because she had shit tons of paper work to deal with.

Well, even though she was so busy, she did kept her end of the deal as soon as possible and right now the ritual is getting set up.

The ritual is taking place at the dark elven kingdom forest. Its quiet large forest

Right now, no players are allowed to enter the city since its current quite dangerous to anybody and only workers have access to it.

Nope.

That is the lie to cover up the ritual.

We explained the situation to the representatives of the dark elves and the orcs and after bit of convincing they decided to let us use their city anyway.

We originally wanted to use a forest, but the dark elves straight up "Fuck off" since the ritual may harm their forests.

So, we had to choose a different location and it couldn't be anything small since people may see.

And in the end this place was chosen.

Well, this place was quite wrecked by the empire and there are still a lot of rubles and other stuff lying around, making it impossible for anybody to even live her right now.

So, in return for helping in restoring this place to its formal glory, we struck the deal where we would use this place as our ritual sight beforehand.

If anything happens, we can just blame it on the empire anyway.

So now, we had prepared grounds for the ritual AND we had also made sure that no players will even come here, disturbing us or revealing any of our secrets to the public.

After a lot of time had passed, the ritual grounds have been formed and now the time had come.

[Current location – Greybid port city.]

"…."

"Wow…. It's quite large." – said GreyHunt while looking around.

In the middle of the ruined city, a large area was completely cleaned up, removing any remains of the building and any trash that had been lying on the ground.

After that, a large magic circle was planned on the ground surface alongside 4 bone pillars in each direction.

(Unlike when I transformed into dragonewt or when the other changed their races, we just had to drink a potion and that it.) – though ClownFrog.

(But now? They need all of this? This is getting interesting.)

"I think this is the largest spell circle I had ever seen. How long it took to make this thing?" – asked ClownFrog.

"A bit. We need to spend more time on creating the special materials than when we were deploying this thing." – said the lich.

[Armor – The lich who is absolutely loyal to the demon lord. He is a bit of mad scientist type of guy.]

"We never did anything like that before, so we needed to prepare special ink as well as even make these special made pillars for the ritual."

"Normal there is no need to deploy something like those pillars, but this time it's better safe than sorry."

"This is first time we will be turning something like "You" into a lich and I'm already quite excited."

"A dragonic being becoming a lich? I wonder what kind of creature you will become."

"Me as well." – said ClownFrog.

"Anyway, is it ready?"

"…."

"Yea. Everything is good to go." – responded the lich.

"The lives of the empire soldiers that had been sacrifices during the war had filled this ritual energy supplies way enough to the point even if we did indeed lacked any power, we still had way too much in reserves."

"So don't worry."

"…"

"Good."

"Then let's get started."

"Understood."

"EVERBODY!" – shouted the lich.

"Make sure everything is okay and then clear the area!"

"We shall soon start the ritual!"

The personal on the sight began making sure everything was ready, the most of the personal had left the area while the members of the Purple Hyena guild who were present had moved away and instead observed from the safe distance where they would not hinder the ritual in any way.

The ones left in the area were few necromancers alongside Armor and ClownFrog who was located in the middle of the magic circle.

"Are you ready?" – shouted the lich from afar, outside the magic circle.

"Yea! You can start at any moment!" – shouted ClownFrog back.

"Okay dookie! Then we shall start now!"

The lich and the necromancer began activating the pillars as well as the magic circle itself.

The skulls that were inside the pillars began glowing with green light from their eyes while the magic circle that was dark red suddenly began glowing, changing color completely from dark red to purple in the matters of seconds.

"…."

(Okay. Nothing is happening, but I can tell I will-)

Suddenly, ClownFrog felt a huge pressure coming from all the directions, from in and outside his body.

(FUKING KNEW IT!)

"?"

"Hey! You good?" – shouted the lich.

"Keep going! I can handle it!" – shouted ClownFrog.

"…."

"Do it." – said the lich to the necromancer nearby.

Each and every single line of the magic circle began glowing, indicating that the ritual will start for real now and moments later a giant column of the necrotic energy erupted in the middle of the circle where ClownFrog was located.

"?!"

(FUCK ME!)

(It suddenly got much worse!)

(It feels like I'm getting compressed or something while also getting cut into pieces!)

(Why the fuck transformations can't be normal or something?!)

The ritual continues as the lines of the magic circle began glowing brighter and brighter, relishing more magic into the air that would come in contact with the pilar.

The necrotic energy began changing shape and was no longer a pillar, but instead a sphere.

"…."

"Is he in…. Something like an egg?" – asked Rampage.

"Em…. I think so?" – said GreyHunt.

"Is this normal?"

"Yea. Don't worry." – said the lich.

"His body is currently evolving and the process won't honestly long since he has our help."

"Oh…... Wait. Should it change colors?" – asked Shri.

"Colors - What?!" – said the lich before quickly turning around, back towards ClownFrog.

The sphere that the ClownFrog was in began changing colors.

A hint of yellow color began appearing on the sphere before then spreading and mixing together with the green color of the necrotic energy, creating some sort of lime color.

"…."

"Okay…. This isn't normal?" – said the lich.

"…."

"…."

"Huh…. Em…. Nothing is happening?" – said Rampage.

"…."

"Yea…. I think so? Only the color had changed?" – said the lich, extremely confused.

"I thought it would explode or- "

Suddenly, a crack appeared on the surface of the sphere.

"…."

"Oh…. I don't think that is a good sight." – said the lich.

Suddenly, the sphere completely collapsed, releasing an explosive way of the necrotic energy into the sky.

"?!" – lich stared confused.

"!"

"EVERBODY!" – shouted the lich.

"Make sure that the rituals stays as stable as possible! We can't give up now!"

The necromancers began trying to stabilize the magic circle, but while doing so, the rampaging necrotic energy began cracking in the air as if it was ready to explode.

While that was happening, ClownFrog silhouette was somehow visible in the explosion to everybody outside.

"!?"

"Hey! Are you okay there?!" – shouted the lich after seeing ClownFrog silhouette.

"…."

There was no response from the ClownFrog.

However, exactly moment later, ClownFrog eyes began glowing and his silhouette began acting strange.

It was expanding and then shrinking over and over, as if ClownFrog body was exploding over and over.

But before long it stopped.

However as soon as it stopped, the necrotic energy being released from the column grew as the columns of bones began shaking as if they were coming to life.

ClownFrog silhouette began acting up strange once again.

It wasn't exploding and shrinking like before, but instead it was growing.

ClownFrog left arm began growing before then getting somehow outside and hitting the ground.

"?!" – the group stared.

It wasn't ClownFrog silhouette acting up, it was his body. His army really did grown bigger and was even growing while being outside.

Moment later, the arm got inside the column of the necrotic energy the entire silhouette of the ClownFrog began growing more and more while his own wings had grown a lot and even a long tail suddenly sprouted from the column and hitting the ground before returning to the column.

"?!"

"The fuck is going on?! Explain- "

"SHUT UP!" – shouted lich to Shri.

"I need to concentrate!"

Before long the magic circle completely broke down an explosion of the necrotic energy occurred in the middle of the magic circle.

The magic circle instantly deactivated and the columns stopped moving while the entire area around the ClownFrog was now covered in dust.

"…."

"Did it…. Failed?" – asked GreyHunt.

"…. I don't know." – replied the lich.

The group stared in silence at the cloud of dust, wondering if the ritual was successful or not.

However, when Oron was about to check what was happening, the group saw the movement inside the cloud of dust.

Moment later, an animalistic roar could be heard coming from it before a beam of bright necrotic energy was fired in the sky before exploding high into the air.

"?!"

The group backed away as the cloud of the dust instantly cleared up, revealing a monster hidden within it.

"…."

"Oh shit." – said GreyHunt.

Monets later, a giaganting figure emerged from the spot where ClownFrog was.

The figure was at least 4 or maybe even 5 meters tall.

The giant wings of the creature was covering up the sun as it rose from the ground, revealing the new form of the ClownFrog to everybody around.

"…."

"I guess it worked." – said ClownFrog while his shadow covered the group.
