The Undead King of the Palace of Darkness (WN) - Chapter 15: The Bargain

I put all the warning tags to give myself creative freedom, but the story isn't filled with excessive gore or swearing.This is my first time writing other than for school projects. The gender-bender tag is only for the beginning because I wanted to try writing from a female's perspective and needed an excuse for why my MC reads a little tomboyish. The gender-bender fades into the background over the first few chapters; please don't let the tag keep you from trying out my story.Synopsis:Second chances are rarely earned and even rarer given. Follow a new life in a new world where anything is possible. Our MC wakes up, stuck as a baby, needing to decide how she will live her new life. Let's see what future she can forge when hard work rewards her with status points and skill levels.Author's Note: I'm currently slowly going back and rewriting my earlier chapters, so if you're starting to read this for the first time, try not to be alarmed if the quality suddenly goes down after reading a few chapters. I started writing this story almost three years ago, and I think I've improved as a writer since then. I appreciate your understanding; enjoy.

When it collapses, it is impossible to speak, the imaginary number tree in the quantum sea.

Along with the prosperity of civilization, the disaster called Honkai will come silently.

Apocalypse, Famine, Herrscher, End.

No one is the savior of the world, only the warriors who fight for a better world.

However, in an accident, they got an accidental gift against the collapsed and successful civilization.

The information called the future, the reward in line with the heart, and the punishment of sorrow.

Can they use this to meet the challenge of collapse?

Bronya: Betrayal is a silver smile.

Raiden Mei: I will fall into darkness, and you will return to light.

Kiana: I’m Kiana, also k423, and more importantly, Xilin.

Otto: Old friend, I’m not lying.
