The human skeleton sat beside a wall while holding its cracked leg.
It’s also making a crackling sound by opening and shutting its jaw bone in a sloppy way.

Maybe it still has a bit of humanity in it left……
If that’s the case, then I shouldn’t take this matter too lightly…… Aaahh! I knew I shouldn’t have tried something this weird.

“Gra~a!”

Once again, when Partner roared, black light enveloped the human skeleton.
The cracked leg and some cracked parts of the arm are slowly getting fixed.

I see, if you don’t continuously use〖Fake Life〗on it, it’ll break apart.

Can I check its status…… I wonder.

A, a wight……
I knew it, this is a failure……
Although one can already tell just by looking at it, but this is no longer human, isn’t it?

Unchangeable Status, huh…… I feel like it’ll end up getting real strong if it evolves……
And, what’s with the〖Servant of the Evil Dragon〗title anyway? I never asked for something like this.

Should I get rid of it? I think getting rid of it is for the best.
The way this is looking, I shouldn’t disrespect the dead.
I wonder if it still feels pain.
Even though it has〖Unchangeable Status〗, it still has a cursed status.
It seems like〖Fake Life〗is a cursed skill.

Still, reviving something only to kill it is……

I wonder what a wight is, it wouldn’t hurt to check it out I guess.
Yes, this is alright. I’ll just decide what to do with it after I find out more about it.

【〖Wight〗: Rank F monster】
【A monster whose body is a corpse possessed by an evil spirit.】
【They are not strong, but they still pose a threat because they can attack humans while pretending to be pile of bones.】
【There are many cases where possessed animals are called〖Beast Wight〗.】

So, it really isn’t human!
And, what do you mean an evil spirit is possessing it? It’s just my magic!
Or, is that what〖Fake Life〗does?

With this, I can destroy it without any regrets.
If the soul was revived in an incomplete way, it would’ve ended up in a dead end.
It’s all good. All good.

For now, let’s go with that.
I now know that I shouldn’t use this skill on corpses.

Sorry wight, but I’ll break you apart now.
When I raised my claw, the skeleton knelt down and lowered it head.

Since it has the〖Servant of the Evil Dragon〗title, it could be very obedient to me.
Well it is a monster I created. And, there’s nothing I can do about that.
If it rebels against me, I am calling it, this is a messed up skill.

Let’s just hurry up and break it to pieces then bury it somewhere in the forest.

Slowly, I put my claws to the skeleton’s nape.
Despite my actions, Wight does not show any signs of resisting.

“Gra~a……?”

Partner stares at me once again.
Asking me, “You really gonna destroy it?”.

S-Stop staring at me like that. It’s hard for me to destroy it if you look at me that way.
This is nothing but a lump of magic. Never mind it being human, it doesn’t even count as a living being.
Or rather, this is just something that’s possessing the dead.

…… And, is the one controlling it… me?
No way, for the sake of the child who used to live with those bones, I have to finish it…… I have to…

Wight rattles its jaw again.
Is it laughing……?
No, it’s trembling?
Even though it has complete obedience to me, it may still have a consciousness……

“……………………”

I slowly put my claw away and stepped back to observe Wight.

Wight shuts its jaw, looks up at me, and tilts its head.
That posture was kind of young and a bit annoying.
It’s like a child that’s being scolded by their parents after pulling a prank.
Over the wight, I feel like I can see who the child it once was before it became bones.

…… I can’t destroy it.
W-What should I do now……?
Whatever the case, I can't let the Lithuvar Tribe know about this.
Something bad might happen.

“Gru~uo……”

When I turned my head towards the shrine, Wight stood up and walked inside it in an unbalanced manner.
What should I do… what should I do with that thing?

Taking care of baby spiders is one thing.
But, bones aren’t something that should even be raised. Their growth period is long over due.
It isn’t right for me to be taking care of you when your life should’ve been over already.

And, even if it does grow up, I can’t just leave it out in the open.
After all, I shouldn’t let a skeleton revived by a monster roam free.
I also have to watch over Partner, otherwise, she might abuse the skill and build an army behind my back.

M-Maybe this is blasphemy for the dead.
But wait no, there’s still signs showing life……

So the first residents of this shrine other than me and Partner are a bunch of bones and a few baby spiders, seriously what am I gonna do with this group.
It’s like I’m gonna be living in some haunted house, or something.
