Chapter 27: First Step into Necromancy
In the world of HDXD, there was a phrase every necromancer knew by heart.
"Dües Kli Arge ki Lao Amentriga."
Roughly translated, it meant... Life is Borrowed, Death is Earned.
For all that it is worth, the mantra itself was more than just a saying...all things considered.
It was a fact of the world, to say the least, a principle etched into the bones of reality. Life was fleeting, a temporary state of being, while death was the only certainty, the one thing any and all could be sure of to see.
It was the final payment for a debt all living things owed.
To die and return was to transcend the natural order, to sever oneself from the shackles of mortality and become something beyond life, beyond death. Hence the term... Eternal, which was described as someone who had crossed the threshold of life, and peered into the Afterlife. And if they manage to come back, that is what turns a person into an Eternal, it was one of many ways, one fulfills the conditions of joining the supernatural world in HDXD because the Afterlife is a supernatural structure.
And coming in contact with anything supernatural despite not being of the supernatural means you were touched by the force that was known in the original game as the Paranormality.
And with that touch came power.
But power is not something freely given when the Paranormality is involve.
The Paranormality was not something one could seek out just because they simply wanted to, or they simply could, it was something that was for the majority of the time, akin to unexplainable events, or instances that one stumbled into out of luck, or misfortune.
