{pov: human group}
Three young adults walked up to a lone house in this bleak and gloomy land while staring at how ordinary it was. As if that wasn't all, there was a spire next to it with a weird spatial portal with a bunch of random undead standing next to it. The house looked like it was falling apart but was held together by prayers.
"So, this is that fucktard's house and grave? How'd he die anyways? And what the hell is that spire?" (Rose)
"The spire seems to be a spawner of the undead, although for what reason I can't tell. I'll remember to tell The Sgt. when we get back." (Tom)
"The spire appears to drain the dark energy and possibly turns it into undead which absorb more as they exist. And it's not known how the dead brat died, assassin I guess maybe. But it must be mentioned that he had no abilities so he was removed from their land." (Jerry)
"I could tell you three why if you'd like."(Malorn)
At that moment as the small group was conversing with each other, a fourth voice came from in front of them all of a sudden. The voice was cold, as if there was no emotion in it. Upon hearing it, the group froze and turned towards the doorway of the house. The voice had come from there.
A figure slowly appeared in the doorway. It had no shirt on but had white sweats, that appeared to be covered in blood. The upper part of the body was a pale white and covered in dark red patterns akin to runic symbols.
As Malorn walked out of the door, the group started walking backwards trying to keep some distance.
"Hello, allow me to welcome you to this shithole that used to be my home. My name is Malorn Shadowheart, it's a pleasure to see living people that aren't undead."(Malorn)
"What the fuck are you! And what do you mean you're Malorn Shadowheart, he's DEAD!"(Rose)
Starting off the surprise train is Rose, who for all intents and purposes is starting to actually freak out. After all intelligent undead are cases for extreme danger, those who come into contact rarely survive.
"Rose, please don't get scared. Um, please don't hurt us kind undead sir."(Tom)
Next is Tom with the most generic plea to survive. They did learn that intelligent undead while dangerous, can be reasoned with. However, if it's a lich that's being dealt with, they can kiss their asses goodbye.
Only Jerry is calm as he notices no reason to fear. If this so called Malorn wanted to harm them, he could've.
{Pov: Malorn}
'Hahaha, it actually works!' Malorn is getting excited about the notification he got after walking outside to meet the three fleshbags.

"It is indeed I, I was resurrected after the purging, awakening as the future lord of death. However....2 of you must go as I'm waiting for the transformation."(Malorn)
And before any of them could blink, Malorn, dashed at tom and punched his head with all his might, shattering his skull instantly. [+3000xp]
"BROTHER!!!"(Jerry)
"How dare you kill my boytoy!"(Rose)
Taking no notice of their words, he backhands Rose in the jaw, like a pimp slapping an ungrateful ho except with lethal force. The hit shattered her jaw, tearing her jaw off with the force, just as her hands turn into spikes. The pain from the hit, instantly knocked her unconscious.
And witnessing this, Jerry ran for it. He just abandoned Rose, fleeing towards the gate with all his strength.
"Hmm, better make it look realistic." Malorn then pointed at a group of 5 skeletons. "Chase that human and try to injure him." And the skeletons took off running after Jerry. After sending the skeletons after Jerry, Malorn walked over to the girl who was laying on the ground. After taking a look at her, he stomped down on her face and through her skull, splashing blood and brains everywhere with the rest that came from the boy.
Now having done that Malorn walked back into his house, waiting for the transformation of the area into a dungeon. Quickly taking note of the value from the girl [+5000], he hummed to himself as he sat on his bed wondering how he'll assimilate the dungeon. Suddenly an alert popped up.
