"The Heir of the Crazy Necromancer, you are not the only one with that title"
"What....!!", Michel exclaimed with extreme shock once again, He was surprised so many times today that he thought there would be nothing that could surprise him anymore!
But the words that came out of Kasim's mouth were so shocking that Michel forgot how to respond to them for a second.
"Well, to be more specific there are currently 10 others besides you with that title, searching for the Inheritance of the Crazy Necromancer all around the Tower"
Kasim said, explaining to Michel about the situation in Tower.
"What the fu*k? How can that be possible, The system clearly said that only those who inherited his blood can receive the powers...."
When Michel received the Powers of Crazy Necromancer, The system said that a restriction was set so that only those who have inherited his blood could receive his Powers, but the words of Kasim were in contradiction to what the system had notified.
He just couldn't understand just how the hell there were other 10 Heirs except him.
"The system wasn't wrong, each and everyone who becomes the Heirs are related to the Crazy Necromancer"
"....", Michel got silent looking at Kasim, as if he was asking him to explain more about what he meant.
"Well, your grandfather.....not William Viotto, but Shiva Maran, The Crazy Necromancer"
"He was such a playboy that he had 11 wives when he was alive and the number of secret relationships he had..... let's just not talk about them...."
"Huh...?", Now that was the end of his thinking capacity, Michel just stood there blankly staring at Kasim.
The one and only crazy Necromancer who was hailed as the greatest hero in the Tower, the ruler of death, was a playboy with 11 wives?!!
"Well, I know it's shocking to hear that from me since it wasn't something that was known outside the tower, but that is the truth, actually every important figure in the Tower is aware of these things but they just avoid mentioning it!"
"After his death, his 11 wives got separated due to some infights and set up their own families and today they are known as 10 black families"
"Wait a minute! didn't you tell me there were 11 wives?"
if there were 11 wives then isn't that normal for there to be 11 families? he couldn't understand why there were only 10 families. and what the hell is with the name? Black families? who the hell came up with that name? a third-grade student maybe...
"That's where you are related to the Crazy Necromancer,, Kasim said in a weak voice as if he had remembered something he didn't wish to.
"Because of your grandmother, who died in an unfortunate event, your father and mother had no choice but to run away, the remaining wives of the Crazy Necromancer were so bloodthirsty that they had to even leave the Tower to ensure their safety!"
"So the reason why I was raised outside the Tower..."
"Yes, because of the threat from other ten black families, your father, and mother who were were helpless at that time had to flee outside to survive"
"F*ck! This is all so complicated!!"
His head was in serious pain processing all the information, first, he came to know that his grandfather was the Crazy Necromancer and now, the man in front of him was telling him a whole story of some black families...
"Ah! I forgot to mention one more thing! Among the 11 inheritances that the Crazy Necromancer must have mentioned to you, seven of them are already obtained by the other heirs"
"God!! Give me a break..."
Now, even the inheritances that he dreamed of obtaining were almost gone!
but wait!! How does the man in front of him know all this? Michel got that thought as he collected all the pieces of information in one place.
The information regarding Black families, information regarding the Crazy Necromancer and even his 11 wives, and he also knew about William, who the hell was he that he knew all those pieces of information? and what's the guarantee that all he said was true?
He was just wondering when a notification rang!
Ding!
[The title 'One who doesn't know himself' has triggered!]
[You have learned the truth about why you were raised outside the Tower]
[A reward corresponding to the truth discovered will be given]
[You have obtained an 'Unknown map']
Now wasn't that the same as giving a truth detecting skill? anyway, now he knew for sure that whatever Kasim said was true, but that doesn't mean he didn't have any questions for him.
"Who the hell are you to know so much about the Crazy Necromancer?", He still didn't know why the hell a retired official from a guild would have that much information on the Crazy Necromancer.
"You see...."
"8- years ago, the one who helped us, The Demon coterie, which was originally a secret organization to rise into the position of 'Major Seven' was none other than your grandfather, oh sorry! Your grandfather, The Crazy Necromancer, and even though the Fist king was the guild leader at that time, he was only sitting on that position by name, the one who controlled the whole guild from the shadows was the Crazy Necromancer, and he entrusted us his 1st inheritance on the fifth floor, which he ordered to be handed over to his son, the son of his 1st wife who died on the 'Great war'"
Kasim said, briefly explaining to him the history of their relationship with the Crazy Necromancer.
"But your father, he refused to accept it...", He said in a disappointed voice.
"And you were unable to obtain it without the blood of Crazy Necromancer and you also refused to hand it over to other families since they could potentially obtain a power that could become a threat to your guild?", Michel continued his words as if expecting what happened!
"You are quick to catch on, as expected of the Crazy Necromancer's Heir", Kasim said with a slight smile but Michel was completely obvious to his smile.
"So you are basically trying to make a deal with me using something that should have been rightfully mine", he asked in a stern tone.
"The Crazy Necromancer never said anything about his grandson"
Well, he wasn't wrong either, The crazy Necromancer only mentioned his son and said nothing about his grandson.
"That's because he didn't know his crazy son would be crazy enough to refuse such a crazy power"
Michel said, he himself trying hard not to go crazy!!
"That isn't our mistake now is it?"
That's true too, they did follow the will of Crazy Necromancer but it was his son's fault for not receiving the Powers.
"Okay, but I can't join the guild"
No matter the reason, Michel didn't like working under someone, whoever they may be for that matter.
"Then sorry, we also can't provide you the inheritance"
"Ahhh! Isn't there anything else I could do?"
"Then how about a temporary membership? you can join the guild in name, but you won't be subjected to follow any rules and you can leave after 5 years"
"...."
Michel looked at smiling Kasim in silence.
"or we can call the deal off"
"1 year, I will join the guild for one year and you will provide me with the inheritance"
"4 years six months"
"1 year six months"
"4-year"
"2 years"
"3 years six months"
"2 years six months"
"3 years six months"
"2 years six months, give or take"
"Deal!"
Michel once again looked at Kasim who was gleaming in joy...
"Ahhhh!! Why do I feel like you have been planning this the whole time"
"Just your feeling, hohoho"
