I am a necromancer, and I absolutely love America.

"MOM! I'm back. Why didn't you pick me up today?" Debbie looked at me suspiciously as she pushed open the door.

A strange man sat casually on the sofa.

Her mother, Catherine, stood before the other person with utmost respect, as if she were a servant.

Debbie immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The mother's demeanor is abnormal!

Fear, attachment, and seemingly a hint of eerie worship, like a believer facing a deity.

"Who are you?!" Debbie looked at the young man warily, suddenly feeling that he looked somewhat familiar.

She remembered—wasn't the other person Richard, that bookworm in her class?

Richard is an international student from the University of Tokyo. He joined the class in the 9th grade and has been in the 11th grade ever since.

Like most Chinese-American boys, Richard is usually quiet and reserved, and always keeps to himself.

Debbie is the cheerleader for the school's football team and a popular figure at school.

The two usually do not communicate with each other.

She couldn't understand why Richard had suddenly appeared in her house:

"Richard? What are you doing in my house?"

Richard didn't move, only glancing at Debbie indifferently.

Catherine glanced at Richard cautiously, and said somewhat nervously:

"Debbie, you can go out now, I have something to do..."

Debbie persisted, cautiously pressing for an answer:

"Richard! What did you do to my mother?!"

"I just resurrected your mother, can I tell you that?" Richard replied evasively.

"You wouldn't want to know."

Could it be... that Debbie misunderstood Richard? She clutched her head in her hands:

"No! I don't believe it!"

Just minutes ago, she was the queen of the entire school, but now she's become a joke!

Debbie felt like the sky was falling, and angrily said:

"Richard! Get out of my house right now, or I'll call the police!"

"How dare you speak to your husband like that!" Catherine was terrified, fearing Richard might harm her daughter, and snapped:

"Debbie! Get out! Now! Right now!"

She was filled with fear when faced with Richard, a supernatural being who could bring people back to life.

Debbie looked at her mother in disbelief.

A few seconds later, she slammed her schoolbag to the ground and cried out:

"FXXK! Today was terrible! I hate you, Catherine!"

boom!

The door was slammed shut.

The room returned to silence.

Catherine pleaded:

"Sir! Please don't blame Debbie, she's just...too concerned about me."

Richard slowly rose, looking down at the trembling Catherine. Just as he was about to speak, a mechanical electronic voice rang out:

"Ding! You have completed the [Resurrect the Dead and Test] mission."

"The [Soul and Desire] branch is now open! Level: 1, Spirit +1!"

"Knowledge of Soul and Desire: 0% -> 5%"

What is spirit? Richard felt a chill rush into his brain, and he instantly became more awake.

Apart from that, I didn't have any other special feelings.

"Open the panel."

A semi-transparent blue panel appeared in his field of vision.

******

If the servant dies, [Resurrection of the Dead] will be forced into a 30-day cooldown. Quantity: 1/2. Cooldown: 1 day. Mana Cost: 10 points.

******

In addition to the +1 to Spirit, Richard also discovered that the maximum Magic Power had increased from 20 to 22.

It seems that the maximum magic power should be equal to twice the spirit power.

The magic power was originally 10 points, but now it has become 12 points.

When the maximum magic power increases, the extra magic power will be automatically replenished.

This system suddenly appeared this afternoon after school.

After a brief adjustment, Richard used his [Death Sense] to find Catherine's body on a side path.

At the time, she was lying in a pool of blood by the roadside, and it appeared that she had been in a car accident.

There were no witnesses or cameras around, and the vehicle that caused the accident fled the scene, but this gave Richard a chance to revive her.

After resurrecting Catherine, the two went to Catherine's house, immediately burned her blood-stained clothes, and then went into the bathroom to wash away all the bloodstains, completely erasing any trace of Catherine's resurrection.

Then, Debbie went home.

Richard recalled the scene of taking a bath just now.

Catherine is very well-maintained, with a curvaceous figure and smooth skin, unlike an ordinary 40-year-old white woman.

Just an hour earlier, when he found Catherine's body, she looked like a tattered rag doll.

The chest cavity collapsed extensively, the femur was fractured, and the bone fragments even pierced the skin, exposing it to the air.

His entire body was covered in horrific wounds and bloodstains, with not a single patch of intact skin.

As a result of the "Resurrection" spell, she not only revived on the spot, but her injuries were also completely healed, with not a single wound on her skin.

It's amazing...

Richard said slowly:

"From now on, no matter who asks you, you must not admit to today's car accident!"

"Yes!" Catherine knew how troublesome this matter was, and nodded repeatedly. She was even more afraid of being dragged into the laboratory to be dissected.

Richard thought for a moment and then said:

"Also, I want to move my host family to yours, so you should apply for the program as soon as possible."

Richard just turned 18 this year.

According to American law, international students in high school must live in a homestay or school dormitory and cannot rent their own housing.

In the future, I will have many secrets, and it will be very unsafe to continue living in my previous host family.

If something unusual is discovered, who knows how much trouble it will cause.

In this country, being arrested and dissected for research by the authorities is considered a light punishment.

Richard must keep a low profile until he has fully matured.

It would be much safer to move to Catherine's home.

Catherine was a servant, and could keep the secret absolutely.

There aren't many people in her family; she's single now and only has one daughter, Debbie.

A simple family structure can greatly reduce the likelihood of exposure.

"Living in my house?" Catherine blushed slightly, unsure how to explain this to her daughter later.

She felt no resistance; the mark of the dead made her unconsciously want to be close to Richard.

What kind of person is Richard?

Like those superheroes in the movies, Superman? Spawn? Homelander?

Or is it a mysterious wizard from the University of Tokyo?

As Catherine thought of this, a surge of fervor welled up within her.

He is a powerful and mysterious man, who is incredibly alluring to women.

After Catherine figured it out, her voice carried a different meaning:

"Yes, sir, I'll go tidy up the master bedroom."

She hasn't been with a man for a long time since her divorce.
