Necromancer: A New Era

In the Apocalypse Continent, the Forest of Life is the home of the natural elves, full of the magic of life and the breath of harmony. However, a sudden encounter in this green forest composes a love story that transcends race and is entangled between life and death.

It was a stormy night, and a seriously injured human man stumbled into the Forest of Life. His name was Edwin, a magician proficient in necromancy. Behind him were the roars and howls of countless pursuers, who were waving swords in the dark, trying to take his life. Edwin tried his best and finally escaped into this forest protected by the God of Life, avoiding the deadly pursuit.

His consciousness gradually blurred, and his body fell weakly on the soft grass. Just when he thought he was going to die, a pair of gentle hands gently lifted his head. It was a natural elf girl with emerald eyes and silver-white hair. Her appearance seemed to bring a ray of light to the dark forest.

The girl's name is Leah. She and her family live deep in the Forest of Life. Compared to the arrogant sun elves, the nature elves are more easygoing and close to humans. Leah's family used their life magic to carefully treat the seriously injured and dying human. During the days of recuperation, Edwin and Leah fell in love with each other, and their feelings quietly grew as they spent time together.

However, Edwin never dared to reveal his identity as a necromancer. In his opinion, necromancers are the embodiment of evil, and are hated by the natural spirits who believe in the God of Life. He was afraid that his identity would bring disaster to Leah and her family, so he chose to remain silent and conceal it.

However, truth will come to light. By chance, Leah discovered Edwin's secret. She was shocked, disappointed, and in pain, but more than that, she felt helpless and confused. She didn't know how to face this fact, and she didn't know how to choose between love and faith.

The news quickly spread among the natural elves, causing an uproar. They could not accept the existence of a necromancer, let alone his relationship with their beloved Leah. Anger and prejudice surged like a dark tide, attempting to swallow up the lovers.

Under Leah's desperate protection, her family used their lives to build a barrier for them to escape. Edwin took Leah and left the forest that once gave them shelter and warmth with tears. They wandered around and could not find their real home. But no matter how many hardships and difficulties they encountered, Leah never gave up on Edwin. She was willing to follow him, no matter where he went.

Finally, they came to the edge of the Forest of Life. This was no longer the territory of the elves, but a battlefield of swords and winds. Their whereabouts were discovered by the pursuers who caught up with them, and a life-and-death battle was inevitable.

Edwin held Leah's hand tightly, his eyes flashing with determination. He vowed not to use necromancy anymore, because he didn't want his loved ones to see his evil side. However, this also greatly reduced his fighting ability. In the fierce battle, he gradually became powerless.

Leah saw it all and was anxious. She knew she couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so she stepped forward and used her weak life magic to build a line of defense for Edwin. Although her power was weak, her love was extremely strong. Under Leah's cover, Edwin finally found a breakthrough and took her away from the Forest of Life.

However, when they escaped, Leah fell into Edwin's arms. Her body was pierced by countless arrows, and her dress was stained with blood. She used up her last bit of strength, smiled and said to Edwin: "Don't be resentful... Live well..."

Edwin was grief-stricken. He hugged Leah's gradually cooling body tightly, tears flowing out like a spring. He resented the injustice of heaven, the prejudice of the world, and his own weakness and incompetence. He resented even more that his kind lover died for him, but he was powerless to do anything.

At this moment, his heart was completely darkened. He vowed to make all those who had hurt them pay the price, and he would use his own power to overturn the injustice and prejudice in this world. He held Leah's body and walked step by step towards the unknown distance, leaving behind a piece of land stained with tears and blood.

Since then, a legend about the sadomasochistic love between a necromancer and an elf girl has spread across the continent. Their story tells people that love can transcend the gap of race and belief, but prejudice and hatred are enough to destroy all beauty.

In the eerie silence of the tavern, the bard plucked the strings of his harp. His story was like a gust of wind, blowing away the noise and making every heart immersed in sorrow. Dissatisfaction appeared on the faces of humans, dwarves roared in low voices, and elves shed tears sadly, with crystal tears sparkling under the lights.

Tang Yue sat alone in a corner, holding a glass of fruit wine. He listened to the change of the atmosphere in the tavern, from quiet to noisy, and then from noisy to quiet. His thoughts were still on the touching story, and he couldn't extricate himself. However, his eyes were inadvertently attracted by a figure - it was a man covered tightly by a hood, his thin figure, his face full of stubble, revealing an indescribable excitement. What made Tang Yue even more alert was that the man exuded the evil aura unique to the necromancers on the continent.

Tang Yue's mouth curled up slightly, as if he had seen through the secret behind all this. He looked at the man deeply, and a strange thought surged in his heart.

The atmosphere in the tavern became somewhat heavy because of the legendary story. Seeing this, the tavern owner threw a heavy money bag to the bard in dissatisfaction, "Dude, stop telling these unpleasant stories. Come on, change to a passionate battle to cheer everyone up!"

The bard took the purse with a smile and put it in his arms skillfully. He cleared his throat and began to sing the next story. As his singing and piano sounded, the atmosphere in the tavern gradually warmed up, and one climax after another came. However, at this moment, the mysterious hooded man quietly stood up and left the tavern.

Seeing this, Tang Yue immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and followed him. Tifaniah and Minglong followed Tang Yue silently. They walked out of the shaky door of the tavern together. They stepped onto the street and disappeared into the night, chasing the mysterious figure.
