I became a dragon in hell.

The Grim Reaper, wielding a black and red scythe, stared at the sleeping Sophia for a moment before slowly placing the scythe on her body. He was wondering whether to draw out Sophia's soul to ask her a question.

Logically speaking, the human girl should have died by now; no, everyone in the building should have died by now.

As it turned out, they didn't die; instead, they lived well. On the other hand, some people who should have lived died, and their souls disappeared without a trace.

Without the guidance of Death, the human soul will eventually fall into hell after death.

However, it's hard to say where in hell the souls that bypass Death and fall into Hell will end up.

Hell has no boundaries. If a soul that has fallen into hell appears in an area overrun by evil spirits, its fate will be terrible. It will either be devoured by powerful evil spirits or enslaved by them.

Or perhaps it was refined into a funerary object by an evil spirit.

Some powerful evil spirits even dare to refine the Grim Reaper into funerary objects.

Hopefully, those souls who have fallen into hell aren't so unlucky.

The girl in front of us must have had her fate altered by a powerful being from the human world who glimpsed it through divination.

After all, she was a princess.

The Grim Reaper's scythe hovered over Sophia's abdomen, then, after a moment's thought, withdrew it.

It is an ironclad rule that one cannot arbitrarily take the souls of the living.

Unless an evil spirit that has escaped from hell possesses a living person, the Grim Reaper can only use his scythe on a living person.

"Forget it, I'll just go back and tell the truth. Anyway, there are quite a few people whose fates have been changed by powerful humans."

He glanced at Sophia one last time, then Death transformed into a wisp of black smoke and vanished through the window.

Emily, the head maid who was sitting in a chair reading a book, noticed the curtains flutter a few times. Thinking that she hadn't closed the window properly, she got up and went to the window to check.

"That's strange, the curtains were closed tightly, so why were they fluttering just now? Is the window letting in a draft? I should get a craftsman to check it out tomorrow."

Emily muttered a few words to herself, and as soon as she turned around, she saw His Highness lying on the bed rubbing his eyes. "Your Highness, you're awake?"

Sofia was still a little dazed when she first woke up, her red eyes were lifeless, but after a while her red eyes gradually became bright and lively again.

The events of last night and this morning flashed through her mind, giving her a sense of unreality.

Summoning skeleton soldiers resulted in summoning a skeletal emperor who commanded 100,000 ghost soldiers and generals.

When she was bullied, the White Bone Emperor appeared out of nowhere to support her, saying that she was someone he protected.

What? She's clearly his summoner.

As a result, the White Bone Emperor took the initiative and spoke as if she had already pledged allegiance to him.

City Lord Charman, along with the four powerful nobles in the city who posed a challenge to her, were also dealt with by that Bone Emperor...

Sophia stood up, and head maid Emily quickly placed a headrest behind Sophia.

overbearing.

The White Bone Emperor not only took the initiative but was also very domineering.

I gave you a chance to live, but you ignored it. Now that the sword is at your neck, you're begging for mercy. That chance is gone.

Charman, Sinclair, Carlson, Stanton, and Coleman are the "role models".

No, if she ever has to deal with the White Bone Emperor in the future, she must seize any opportunities he gives her.

There was a double knock on the door, and a moment later Anna, with her long blonde hair flowing down her shoulders, pushed the door open and entered. She came to the bedside and asked, "Your Highness, you slept from day to night. Are you feeling any better?"

"His mental strength has recovered somewhat, but his magic power hasn't. Was there any bloodshed when General Douglas seized those families' assets?"

"Charman's wife, two children, and his brother left Twin Moon City with a large amount of gold, silver, jewels, and magic crystals, escorted by the family's personal guards, before General Douglas arrived."

The same applies to the immediate family members of Sinclair, Carlson, Stanton, and Coleman.

Sofia asked in confusion, "I never intended to kill them, so why are they running away? Oh well, let them go. There's no need to send troops to hunt them down."

Anna pondered for a moment and said, "I'm worried that they'll spread rumors after they leave Twin Moon City. For example, that His Highness summoned a large number of ghost soldiers and turned Twin Moon City into a ghost town in order to control it."

For example, His Highness, due to resentment, jealousy, and hatred, became completely corrupted and degenerated into a necromancer.

If rumors like these spread throughout the North, it will likely become even more difficult for His Highness to maintain control over the entire region.

Anna voiced her concerns.

Although Lord Charman was eliminated, news of the large number of skeleton soldiers appearing during the day and slaughtering wolf riders in the streets in front of the lord's mansion spread throughout Twin Moon City.

After the mercenary groups, adventurer guilds, and mage associations in the city confirmed the news, they became hostile towards the city lord's army.

Needless to say, the people in the city kept their doors and windows tightly shut even in broad daylight, and would hide whenever they saw their soldiers. Children would cry loudly when they encountered their soldiers, saying that ghost soldiers had come.

The fact that the White Bone Emperor helped His Highness deal with the Lord of Charman City had both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage was that Princess Sophia eliminated Lord Charman, who had threatened their lives, without losing a single soldier.

The downside was that nearly a hundred skeleton soldiers killed people in broad daylight, and with the help of some people spreading rumors, Princess Sophia became a necromancer hated and feared by everyone.

Princess Fia's situation has become even more dangerous now. Absolutely no one wants to see an evil necromancer who can summon skeletons in broad daylight.

No one dared to live in a city ruled by a necromancer, for they feared becoming undead without even knowing why.

This applies to ordinary people, mages, mercenaries, and even thieves and assassins' guilds.

Caravans traveling between cities would embellish and exaggerate the events of the day, spreading them far and wide throughout the places they visited.

If things really develop to this stage, the identity of a princess will no longer be a shield for Her Highness Sophia.

"I don't have that kind of thinking, nor am I that cruel. They'll naturally understand what kind of person I am once they spend more time with me."

"Your Highness, things may be much, much more serious than you imagine. After the events of the daytime spread, I'm afraid many people already want you dead, and the number of people who want to assassinate you will likely increase."

Your presence may attract powerful figures like [Heroes] and [Warriors], and when news of this reaches the capital, even more people will come to hunt you down.

Anna sighed. The innocent and kind Princess Sophia had no idea how serious the situation was.

"Your Highness, you are a necromancer, you should know better than me the situation a necromancer faces after commanding the undead to kill."

As soon as Anna said those words, Sophia, who was leaning against the headrest, turned pale instantly.

She knew all too well the situation and the end that a necromancer would face after killing someone and turning them into an undead!

The better outcome was being sent to the gallows, their bodies burned to ashes.

But most necromancers end up with their bodies burned and their souls purified.

The purification of the soul means that the necromancer will not even be able to become a ghost after death!

There is another type of necromancer whose fate is even more tragic. When a necromancer who has turned too many living people into undead, corpse puppets, or ghost soldiers is captured, their soul will be extracted from their body and imprisoned by a spell that confines the soul.

During the day, the necromancer's soul is repeatedly scorched by the sun, and at night, temple clergy chant light spells in front of the necromancer's soul. The power of light contained in the light spells will make the necromancer's soul suffer even more.

This is the worst situation; you can't even die if you want to.

Sophia thought of herself. She hadn't turned the living into ghost soldiers or undead, but the fact that the White Bone Emperor's skeleton soldiers had turned more than a hundred wolf riders into ghost soldiers during the day would surely be blamed on her.

It's over, it's really over.

If word of today's events gets back to the capital, she'll likely become the most evil necromancer in the Kingdom of Roland, and the temple's clergy won't let her off the hook.

The Mercenary Guild, the Mage Association, the Adventurers' Guild, as well as the Thieves' Guild, the Assassins' Guild, and the wandering heroes who train throughout the kingdom will not let her go.

Sophia's red eyes misted over. Wasn't she supposed to be a lord in the North?

How did he become the evil necromancer that everyone in the Kingdom of Roland hates so much in the blink of an eye?

Before I can even enjoy the joy of being a lord, am I going to be crushed to death by the iron fist of light?

"Anna, Emily...am I going to die...?"

Sofia, with tears in her eyes, hugged her knees and looked at Anna and Emily with a pitiful expression.

The moment she opened her eyes, she felt that her good days were about to begin.

Before she could even enjoy her good days, the shadow of death loomed over her.

She didn't want to die.

She is still young, has never been in love, and has never left the Kingdom of Roland to see the outside world.

I have never seen a steel kingdom forged by alchemists, nor have I ever seen a magical guided airship that can sail in the sky.

I've never seen a magical celestial warship capable of navigating in outer space.

Before coming to the North, she dreamed of managing the North well, accumulating savings, and then going to a great nation with magical celestial warships to travel to outer space and see why there are two moons in the sky...

"Your Highness, don't be discouraged. You must have the courage to face difficulties and desperate situations. As long as you have such courage, it's hard to say what the future holds."

But if you lack the courage to face difficulties and adversity, then your fate... may truly resemble that of the infamous necromancers in the kingdom's history.

Anna's words rekindled a fighting spirit in Sophia, who was feeling dejected.

"Yes! I can't give up! If I give up, what will happen to all of you who follow me? Besides, behind me stands a White Bone Emperor who commands 100,000 Yin soldiers and generals!"

White Bone Emperor...

Even if the worst happens, Your Highness, the White Bone Emperor might not be able to protect us.

While the Skeleton Emperor's skeleton soldiers swiftly eliminated Charman's wolf riders, they might not be able to swiftly eliminate the kingdom's mage legion, earth dragon legion, and the alchemist warriors armed from head to toe with alchemy.

Not to mention that the major temples also specifically train Holy Light Legions to target the undead army.

The skeleton soldiers of the White Bone Emperor would likely be defeated by these legions, and there is even a possibility that they would be completely wiped out.

Anna dared not and could not say these things; in the current situation, she could only encourage her prince.

"General Douglas has forcibly taken over Twin Moon City, and the soldiers at the city gate and on the city walls have all been replaced by our men."

I've also reinforced the defenses of the city lord's mansion.

"Oh? That's good. You can discuss these things together."

Sophia was lost in thought when she thought of the young dragon, Distin.

The young dragon Diding was in an even worse situation than her. At least she was a princess in the human world and had loyal followers.

And what about the fledgling dragon, Destin?

The game starts in Hell, and the lich lord of Hell has his eye on you right after you're born.

Besides the Lich Lord, you'll also have to face the rotting corpses, evil spirits, and various hellish monsters in Hell.

The young dragon Diding didn't give up despite such a harsh living environment, so she can't give up on herself either!

She must be as resilient and brave as the fledgling dragon, Destin!

"Emily, I'm hungry! I want meat!"

After finishing the meat, she read the young dragon Destin's diary to see what other deadly dangers Destin had encountered!

Sophia got up and went to the restaurant for breakfast. She ate two steaks and drank a glass of warm milk. After returning to her bedroom, she took out the diary of the young dragon Distin from her spatial ring and began to read it.

【Maya, why are there all sorts of monsters in Hell? There was a monster with a long, thin body, blood-red skin, no eyes, and only a crack on its face, dragging its arms covered with bone spurs into the tunnel I dug.

Then, right in front of me, it split its face open, the crack extending to its abdomen. Two rows of dense, white, sharp teeth grew on either side of the crack, heading straight for me. I was so frightened that I immediately grabbed the crystal coffin and smashed it against it.

With a few clangs, the crystal coffin was thrown down, and the thing turned into a pool of blood-red bone mud.

I acted impulsively. I should have tied this thing up and thrown it onto the summoning circle when that thief who secretly summoned my skeleton soldiers summoned them again.

I'm Diding, a fledgling dragon. Hell is too terrifying; I want to go to the human world. o(╥﹏╥)o】

Sophia's hair stood on end when she saw this; she found the young dragon Distin incredibly sinister...

The environment in Hell is so harsh, I wonder if the fledgling dragon Destin is still alive.

If he dies in hell, he'll probably turn into a bone dragon, right?

How wonderful, at least she has the chance to become a ghost after death, unlike her, who probably won't even have that chance...

--------

"Welcome to hell. Now I'm going to perform some embalming on you."

On the shore of the lava lake, one hundred and twenty wolf riders stood silently on the dark red earth, riding giant wolves. In front of them were Charman, Sinclair, and Carlson, all clad in golden armor.

The young dragon Didin emerged from the lava lake, letting the orange-red lava liquid slide down his layers of bluish-purple dragon scales.

With his bluish-purple vertical pupils scanning the wolf riders and ghost soldiers beneath him, Diding placed 'Childhood Sweetheart' on his shoulder, flapped his wings, and flew over their heads toward the River Styx not far from his territory.

Charman, who was in charge, turned around and led 120 wolf rider ghost soldiers to follow. After they were transformed into ghost soldiers, their ghosts and corpses became one, and they were completely obedient to Distin.

Diding folded his wings and landed on the banks of the River Styx. When Charman led his wolf riders to the river, he grabbed them with his dragon claws and put them into the Styx.

The corpses soaked in the River Styx would not rot, but when he tried to take out the soaked wolf riders and ghost soldiers, he clearly noticed that there were many cold claws and hands on the dragon's claws.

Some shadows in the River Styx burrowed into his dragon claws, trying to take the opportunity to slip into the corpses of the wolf riders and ghost soldiers.
