The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

What is life?

Life is three meals a day.

I don’t have a noble status, nor do I have amazing talents. As an ordinary person, I can eat what I like, drink what I like, and sleep until I wake up naturally.

This is the happiest life.

"Li! Don't sleep anymore, get up and make breakfast for mom!"

My mother has a happy life, and as for me, I am just a miserable eldest son.

"Coming, coming~"

After folding the quilt and putting on his home clothes, Li walked out of his room, went downstairs and came to the center of the living room.

My parents have already gotten up early, and my mother is cleaning the store in the front, preparing for opening.

The cheap dad was curled up on the sofa, gargling his mouth with beer early in the morning.

"Good boy, get dad a plate of fried peanuts, a bowl of Kung Pao chicken, and some cold-mixed pig ears."

"You're treating me like an ordering machine, aren't you? There's only leftover noodles from last night."

"Hey? Then make some new dishes~"

"There's only noodles. Just tell me whether you want to eat it or not!"

"Eat, eat, eat!"

After fooling his father, Li walked into the kitchen and prepared to cook something.

As a result, I saw my pet eat up all the leftovers from last night.

The pet, biting half of the plate, burped and greeted the dazed Li.

"Good morning, Li. This ceramic plate doesn't taste good. The lead plate from before still tastes good."

"Ah! You damn magic book, you ate our whole family's breakfast!"

There was a sound of fighting in the kitchen. The mother, who was cleaning the shop in front, took a look with a feather duster and kicked the lazy father.

A day that was no different from any other started out in a noisy manner.

Having lost his noodles, Li had to dig out the ingredients from the storage room and patiently made the greasy breakfast his father requested.

Li took his own bowl and came to the shop in front to watch the shop, ignoring his mother who was guarding the food and his alcoholic father, as well as the magic book that secretly snatched the food.

Jingle bell~

The wind chimes at the door rang and the eyeballs of the plastic fish on the counter screamed, reminding Li that a customer was entering the store.

Li threw the fish eyeballs he had picked out of the glass container back into the preservative liquid and looked up at the customer with a murderous look on his face.

The customer was a dangerous old man with a scar on his face. He was blind in one eye and would subconsciously turn his face to the side when looking at people, making him look hideous.

The iron-studded leather boots slipped in front of Li.

"Boy, where is your master?"

The man reached into the container, pulled out a jellyfish eyeball, and put it in his mouth to chew.

The man seemed to like the taste very much, and he bit the fish eyeball with a crunching sound.

"…three silver coins for one eyeball."

The man snorted coldly and did not pay. Instead, he took out a letter from his arms and threw it directly into Li's bowl.

A magic symbol appeared on the letter soaked in rice soup.

An eye is surrounded by a halo. The pattern is exactly the same as that of the Church of Holy Light, except that the mystical potion used in the drawing has a purple-black color.

Seductive and weird.

"Hey, you ruined my porridge!"

Li stood up and wanted to ask the man for an explanation, but all he got in response was nothing in front of him.

The wind chimes at the door swayed by themselves, making a rustling and mocking sound.

The man has left.

The movements are weird.

"Mom! Someone sent me a strange letter!"

Whenever something happens, just call for mom. Li's loud voice successfully awakens maternal love, and the mother who is holding a tray of food comes out to check the situation.

"Oh, my dear son, since you have received the letter, you should check it."

"No, I don't want to get involved in your mess anymore."

"That's not up to you!"

Regardless of Li's disgust, the mother picked up the letter and stuffed it into Li's hand.

As for the contaminated breakfast, it was taken away by the mother and directly put on the magic book.

"Hey, who turned off the lights? Oh, this smells like delicious rice porridge!"

The magic book disguised as a domestic pet suddenly opened a huge mouth and swallowed all the leftovers and the dishes.

Such extraordinary daily life happens almost every day.

Li has now gradually adapted to the work of his parents' secret order, and the way he looks at the evil magic book has changed from fear in the beginning to the look he has now as if he were looking at a stupid dog.

Reincarnated as a child of the Weiser family, Li has already lived eighteen years of his life.

Except for the initial excitement about this world of magic and secrets, Li has gradually adapted to life here.

Since last year, Li Ye has gradually taken over his parents' work.

Li opened the letter from the Secret Society and read its contents.

The magic book, full and satisfied, jumped onto the counter to have some fun with Lee.

I forgot to introduce that this magic book in front of me, whose personality is the same as that of Erha, is actually a great being.

According to the magic book itself, he was the original holy book of the Church of Holy Light two thousand years ago and was revered by the world.

He once followed the Goddess's first apostle, Lilith the Merciful, to resist the coalition forces of orcs and demons.

After humans gradually gained the right to speak, the Church of Holy Light began to control the Kingdom of God on earth. In order to create a glorious and majestic image, the Church of Holy Light split the holy journal into two parts.

The part that records the glorious divine power is still followed by the world and regarded as a sacred law, and people enjoy fine wine and delicious food in the Holy Light Cathedral every day.

The part that was dismantled and discarded was the Book of the Dead in front of him, which recorded the taboos and filth of necromancy.

The Weize family was once apostolic servants serving the Holy Scriptures, and also mastered some necromancy.

The Book of the Dead, which was sealed in the Great Library, escaped by some unknown means and signed a contract with the Weiser family to ensure its own safety.

The Weize family left the Church of Holy Light and traveled the continent as necromancers.

Well ~

These things are all said in the magic book itself, and the part about history is very general.

He often mentioned the fruits and fine wine in the cathedral, as well as the beautiful nuns who were so tender that they could almost be juicy.

An indecent and lustful husky is the only label Li gave to the magic book.

"Ahem, phew!"

Magic Book was eating too fast and some pieces of plate got stuck in his throat.

Fragments shot out from the magic book's big mouth, smashing the jar containing the glue fish's eyeballs.

"It hurts!"

"Kill the eyeballs!"

The scattered glue fish eyeballs made a buzzing sound, and the next moment they were swallowed into the magic book's mouth.

The world is quiet.

"This jar of eyeballs costs two gold coins."

“I have to pay for my own food?”

“This is merchandise!”

Facing Li's serious face, the magic book finally lowered its head.

He opened his mouth and spat out a twisted golden ornament.

The patterns on the ornaments are in the style of the ancient empire period, and such an antique is enough to offset the eye-catching price.

Li swept the gold jewelry into the drawer under the cash register, then embraced the burping magic book as if he were a good brother.

Each person and each book checked the sticky letters together.

"Wow~ This woman is pretty good!"

The first thing that caught my eye on the unfolded letter was a magical portrait.

Because the image is drawn with magic, its details and light and shadow are comparable to 4K high-definition video, and it is a dynamic picture.

Li and the magic book looked at the beautiful woman walking through the garden in the painting. Their heads moved forward, bit by bit, following the woman's steps.

"Just in time~"

"Hey hey hey~"
