[Massacre!: 200% exp boost for 7 days.
player Marvin Rheede has successfully performed a massacre and has received the 200% exp boost from his [child of death] skill.
killed: 230 knights of the Archadia empire.
how: by not helping to resolve the matter peacefully despite being a child of death. thus the system has considered you the murderer of these knights.]
{how did this happen?}
Marv wasn't sure of how to react to the message that was blocking his vision. was it trying to say he should have intervened? but he was told to stay back...so how was he the murderer...and the skeletons were already dead.
Marv felt sceptical before Pale's voice rang through his head.
{you sure don't know your duties do you...}
{what the heck is going on? mind explaining Pale?}
Marv felt a rising emotion of anger within him yet it wasn't him. it was probably Pale.
{I don't think you realize...but you are a child of death...in other words, you are a being who is associated with the dead the same way a guardian cares for a child placed under them. you may not understand but generally what a child of death does is act as the spokesperson or the protector of the dead and if the dead are treated unjustly and destroyed without reason you weep in tears of blood. there are a couple of things that are responsibilities of the children of death but those are something I'm not willing to tell you right now...you failed to protect the dead...and thus you wept.}
Marv was wondering how exactly that was supposed to work but couldn't think of a proper reason. he begged for Pale to tell him if there was anything else he should be knowing but Pale kept silent and then Angelina's voice rang in his head.
{Master Pale has been told to keep quiet about the specifics regarding your power and if he told you...it may be considered as a breach of contract with the system admins. I'm not sure of the specifics but it's probably best you figure them out for yourself.}
Angelina was speaking in a low tone as she tried to explain to Marv. Pale didn't speak throughout and was cursing himself for signing that contract...still, it was better than forcefully fusing with this boy without the consent of the system masters. Marv closed the system notification as he stood up onto his feet and gave Margaret a strange angry look.
"what...the heck was that..."
Finn was smiling as he looked to the now panicking Margaret who tried to avoid Marv's gaze. Finn was simply helping in the breaking of an eraser dimension and couldn't be blamed for anything. Margaret was indeed scared but realized Marv deserved an answer and a fast one. Martha then gave Marv a determined look as she brushed a strand of hair aside.
"I..I...hadnt thought you were a child of death and so...I simply destroyed the eraser dimension of the necromancer to try and get to him...I DIDN'T THINK THAT HE WOULD USE THE SPIRITS OF INNOCENT HEROES!"
Marv was slightly disturbed but tried to think of it calmly. meanwhile, Alyssa was trying hard to not attack Margaret and demand an apology. Finn was not happy either but was still smiling as he was grateful that they at least managed to fight off the skeletons before they reached Marv and grew even stronger. Finn then coughed to gather the attention of everyone before he tried to explain what the children of death were exactly.
"The reason why Marv cried with blood was that the skeletons we just destroyed were all great heroes who were worthy of respect and died heroic deaths...I don't know what exactly they did or who they fought but it seems that the necromancer forced their spirits to be his subordinates and soldiers causing Marv to regard them as lost heroes...am I right Marv?"
"I guess you are..."
Marv wasn't all too sure himself but it seemed Finn was familiar with it. Marv couldn't explain it but something within him was now burning furiously and was attempting to break out.

Marv gasped for air as he realized he had blanked out for a minute. he shook his head as rapid quick thoughts ran through his head. he felt traces of fear as one specific thought was vivid in his mind. he now had the immediate urge to meet this necromancer.
Marv looked to everybody before he looked to Margaret and with determination, he asked where they were to meet this necromancer. Margaret was scared as she stuttered a bit.
"he...he is within the plains...if we headed any deeper into the...the plains without destroying his eraser dimension...he could simply think and we would immediately turn into his subordinates...he must have sent these soldiers to try and stop us...if he has even more we could be dealing with an S class necromancer...if not a Lich."
Marv was satisfied with this as he looked to Brianna who had her eyes closed and was being quiet. although Marv wasn't sure...he sensed that Brianna was angry as well.
Marv then looked to the storm clouds and wondered if he was being watched before he shrugged it off and looked to the fog that was even thicker now. Masha had destroyed her sword and was discussing with Hannah for future techniques and had only noticed Alyssa's serious gaze towards her. even if it was only for a moment she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"ok... lets go...he must be destroyed."
Marv was serious as he looked to everyone who had grouped together and looked at him. Eve was still reading her book and would often mumble strange things to herself.
{Angelina...}
{yes Master?}
{I would like your assistance with eliminating this asshole.}

although her voice wasn't loud Marv felt slight fear.
