The Third Return of the Necrotic Magic Swordsman

[11th April 2024]

”Yes, but can’t you tell me what my enemies are like? Are they from cults, organizations, or something else?” Evan, ready to depart, posed a question that gnawed at his mind, knowing he wouldn’t face the gods directly at the start and that they would likely have followers.

”No, they are like us, having sent their challenger, or what you call the chosen one, to take control of the nexus. In this race, whoever gains authority over it will rule everything in our cosmos,” One explained.

”Oh, so they’re like the protagonist and antagonist, huh?” Evan remarked, to which One nodded, seemingly satisfied with this simple explanation.

”Listen carefully, don’t die. If a strong one appears, don’t hesitate to run away. Being a coward is acceptable if it means living another day,” One advised as Evan nodded, ready to depart.

”But wait, before I go, I have one last question,” Evan interjected, causing One’s irritation to grow.

”What is it? Tell us quickly before I send you off, and make sure it’s the last,” One demanded, waiting for Evan to speak.

”So, I’m about to be transmigrated from this world to another, right? What kind of family am I going into? Rich, middle-class, or poor? I remember that main character ended up in the body of a boy who only lives with his sister, which is a story I find cringe-worthy. I’d rather be a lone wolf who doesn’t have to worry about others’ safety.”

”Ah, tell us what kind of family you’d prefer, and I’ll search for it,” One said, thinking it would be beneficial to choose a good starting point.

”In that case, let me transmigrate into the body of an orphan, without a single friend, living a solitary life,” Evan stated, which slightly disappointed One.

”You could enter the body of a wealthy heir, which might be more advantageous,” One suggested, but Evan refused.

”No, because then my enemies could find me quickly. Being a loner will only aid me in this life; I won’t have to worry about others since they perished in such wars. Even in past lives, my loved ones put me in danger, and I don’t want to go through that again,” Evan explained, causing One to reluctantly agree, not wanting to provoke Evan’s anger and potential betrayal.

”And most importantly, don’t make me too handsome. Just make me simple enough that no hero or villain can recognize me as their equal,” Evan instructed, preparing for the teleportation.

He teleported away, and then the entire plane was destroyed, along with the ten thrones which also vanished, returning to their respective bodies.

Their bodies were strained, the extensive travel had even wearied their souls.

They escaped, and Evan returned as well, but not to the infirmary.

Instead, he found himself in a different place within his mind, facing the two men he had seen initially.

However, unlike before, they were not in a state of disrepair but rather well.

”So, the third encounter is imminent,” remarked the first man, the swordsman.

”Yes, and it seems our combined strength within him is significant; I can sense many similarities inside him to us in the past,” the second man, the Tamer, observed as they scrutinized Evan before them.

”Huh, what are you both doing here, and why can’t you meet me in that other place?” Evan inquired.

”Well, we can’t, as we are merely wisps of the past, and have come only to meet the third and final one to achieve our goal,” the First said as the Second nodded in agreement.

”So, you are my past selves, yet I am the one who lived through those times?” Evan asked, which seemed to confuse them all, including himself.

”Ha, set that aside and listen, Evan. Never forget that girl; she is our everything. We sacrificed our lives to be with her, but destiny had other plans for us at that time. Now, perhaps you can change that and live with her until our end,” the Second explained, but Evan was still puzzled.

”You keep mentioning that girl. Who is she, and why are others telling me to avoid her, while you urge me to be with her? Isn’t she the one who led to our demise?” Evan inquired, as anger filled both of their faces.

”So they’ve told you that, huh? Well, Evan, never heed their advice. You may not remember now, but she sacrificed her life to save ours. We fell for her and pursued her, but she didn’t appreciate this like those girls taking advantage of us and tried to drive us away. Yet, we still ended up together, and she gave her life for us afterward. I had many girls in my life back then, and all fled at the sight of death, but she stood by me, faced it in every situation, and that made us love her even more,” the First said, tears welling in his eyes.

”Yes, I found her in my second life, and we spent much quality time together. But at the brink of death, when I could have escaped from the fifth plane to safety, I chose not to. She knew I could leave and made me promise not to stay here. If I did, she would take her own life, so I ran away. However, I decided to complete my trial for promotion. I was about to help her, but it was too late; I couldn’t do anything. In a rage, I waged war against the enemy. After destroying half of them, I died due to the rule of the nexus and was sent back for the third and last time to the past,” Second summarized his life story with her.

”So the conclusion is to not forget her and to be with her, but didn’t they say she is dead and can’t come back in any way?” Evan asked, as both seemed to deny the reality of it.

”No, she isn’t dead. You just have to find her, and don’t worry, destiny will surely allow us to meet again, as it did in a past life,” First assured.

”Never forget this and find her, even if it means causing a rampage,” both said simultaneously as their bodies began to turn transparent and dissolve into him.

”You are the greatest creation of our combined selves,” they said in unison.

”Don’t be sad, go and defeat them all.” After saying that, they merged with him, meeting the wisp’s end.

After that, he opened his eyes to find himself in the infirmary, where James was waiting for him, while Rey was away.

He woke up fine, but the difference between this Evan and the Evan before the accident was like heaven and earth.
