Chapter 2 - Life

I wonder how it feels to die even ones, it is what everyone always says when I was a human? To be Judged in purgatory or something like that? Or is it liking a long sleep, a very long sleep and never to be awaken ever again. I wonder what is real and what is not, but one thing I know, for this is not my time yet.

I waked up on cold and dark place, only the little torches on the wall give light in this gloomy place. "I am supposed to be dead, what the hell happened?" I murmured and look around and found myself sitting in this throne made of jewelry, golds and silver, but I also know that it is not made by normal jewelry, golds and silvers, because I can feel dark power in it, I can say that this throne has the same aura as my weapons and armor.

"Your majesty." I heard a voice and look around; I saw a tall beautiful white haired lady kneeling at my side. "Where the hell am I?!" That what I want to blurt out, but I know it will be bad to do that, since I am a foreign entity here.

As I try to remember what happened on me, foreign memory suddenly poured in, probably the memory of the former owner of this body... Or should I say skeleton, I am now a lich, not just any lich but a Supreme Lich who rule all the undead of this moving dungeon known as Undead Dungeon.

I look at my hand and yes! I am a lich, and only made of bones. I look at the girl who is kneeling and her name finally enter in my mind, she is Marina, the head of my maids, although they call themselves maids, they are as strong as my former Demon Generals.

"Marina, what happened, why the dungeon suddenly moves?" I said without showing any emotion, of course how in the hell I could show any emotion I am made of bones, I don`t have a face to show my emotion, unholy god I never knew that being a lich is so convenient, I should have turned myself a lich when I was still in the three worlds.

"Lord Sauron, a strong adventurers attacked us, although we defeated every single one of them, we are badly damage, you order us to move the whole dungeon a few months ago and you rest on your throne and finally you are awake." Marina said, so I nod and finally remembered what happened.

I found out the former Supreme Lich Sauron fought a very hard battle and almost defeated, humans never change they want to conquer even in this new world I found, well I will not blame them as the former Supreme Lich Sauron was truly a lich all in all.

"Tell all the maids to line up all our fallen people`s body, our people and the adventurers to be exact, also order the undead soldiers to look around and report where we are right now." I said calmly, Marina don`t hesitate, she bows and dash away fast.

What the hell happened? Why am I still alive? Why am I transported here? Why the power of the three worlds is still inside of me and probably tamed?! And why the hell my wish don`t come true at all?! Curses to those holy and godly! There is too much question but no answer at all!

I started to feel myself, my former power was also transcending and with the former Supreme Lich Sauron and his memory I really become stronger, now I have full control of life and death, if I fought now with those heroes, gods and goddesses I will probably stand atop.

I look at the staff that is floating at my side and get it, this is the Former Supreme Lich Sauron`s staff, the Death Devouring Staff, in this staff those strong Adventurer falls, but he was also killed without his people knowing that at all.

I sign and start thinking what I need to do now, as I am now the new Sauron, I always think that I am lucky when I was summoned as a Hero on the Three World, now I regret it, this ups and downs truly... is a bitch!

"But since I have another chance, I will not blow it up." I said at the end, if I have a face right now, I know I am smiling right now, grinning at best. But since I don`t have a face that`s fine by me, for now.

Marina finally came back after a few hours and reported me that all the body is lined up perfectly on the first floor of the dungeon, and since I am the ruler of this dungeon, I teleported in that place so does Marina and I look up and raise my staff.

"To those who have fallen, in my name rise from the dead and serve me as your true demon lord!" I said, although I don`t need to chant, I just feel like chanting right now and soon the rotten body finally become pristine ones more and soon my former soldiers and maids rise from ground and kneel before me.

"Your Majesty, did you evolve ones more?" Marina asked, I could see glitter in her eyes. "I don`t know about evolution, but I know I become stronger." I said and look at the body of the adventurers who attack this dungeon.

"Who`s the strongest among them?" I asked looking at the body of the adventurers soon Marina become serious and pointed the body in the first row. "He is, He is Michael, a summoned Hero." Marina said, wow I guess summoned hero is also what those gods and goddesses do in this world, I walk near to this Michael and look at his body, his body is perfect but the face though... I am much more handsome than him! I am talking about my old face. So, I cast my magic, or should I say former Sauron`s magic and change his face to my former face.

No, it is not only the face, I also change the body suitable to me, then I take off the cloak I am wearing and finally combine this body and Michael`s body into one, and then I close my eyes and feel the process of changing.

Soon I open my eyes, finally I have a great body, although I am a lich now, it doesn`t mean a lich can only be made of bones, right?! I try to move the body and it`s perfect like my old body before.

"I am Sauron, the Supreme Lich and the Ruler of the Undead Dungeon." I said and they all kneel down, that`s right, I am now Sauron, the former Hero slash Demon Lord of the Three World is gone, this is my new life so I need a new name and a new identity.

"Your majesty, should we dispose of this body? let the beasts eat them!" Marina said looking at the Adventurers body, I smirk and shook my head, of course these beings are strong, why would I let this strong body be wasted? As I preserved my General`s soul inside of me when they fall, I think it is time for them to rise, from the powers of the three realms I summon three of my former Demon General, of course I repair the bodies before I put their soul.

These souls supposed to become my nourishment when I fought the war, but since I never used it and only used my other soldiers' souls, I rather let them work for me ones more.

"Rise from your eternal slumber and serve your Lord ones more." I said and cast magic ones more, soon the other three bodies of the adventurer stand up and look at me, since it is my old face, they know who I am, of course even if they want to rebel, they can`t, they are after all under my contract, they all kneel to the ground and greet me.

"Raise your head, I want the three of you to make a new army, train these soldiers to be my perfect army, you have few months to do that, if you fail you know what will happen right?" I said and before they answer I already leave and go back to my throne, of course I leave the memory of the former adventurers intact so they could have the experience on this world, after all them moving around aimlessly will be a big problem, what I mean is they could use the memory for the common sense. And if they even fail to know, what common sense is they should cut their head and leave the world as soon as possible because they will be in a lot of pain if they messed up badly.

"Your majesty." Marina greet and I look at her, she is now holding a set of cloths, oh I never knew that I am still naked, I knew that my face will soon turn red, so I convert myself in my real lich form to hide my embarrassment, who the hell will walk in his dungeon naked?! how stupid is that.

"Thank you, Marina." I said and wore the set of cloths and sit on my throne. "Did the report came to where we are right now?" I asked and Marina nod. "Yes, your Majesty, we are at the border of the Abyss Forest." Marina said I tried to think what is the Abyss Forest and found it in my memory.

"Move the Undead Dungeon in the Center of the Abyss Forest." I said and Marina suddenly lost all her color. "Your Majesty, Abyss Forest is a dangerous place, not to mention weak beings, many creatures don`t want to even set their foot there, because it is a certain doom." Marina said and I simply nod.

"I know, that is why we need to set our base there, that place is probably the safest place for us, our soldiers are weak, those humans will not stop to chase us after all there are tons of treasures in our dungeon, but if we are inside of the most dangerous place, they will stop following, especially the abyss forest could be consider as a dungeon forest itself." I said, with my power right now? even if they die again and again, I could simply bring them back to life again and again, not to mention they are all strong beings itself, not to mention we just get out of the longest war, I don`t want a war for the time being, maybe that time being can be considered as forever!
