Chapter 001: The Necromancer's Apprentice

He was so nervous just now that he had no energy to look at the memories of the person he had traversed into

This world is different from the fantastical worlds depicted in novels; the legal system is already very well-established. Moreover, due to the existence of cults, every missing person must be reported and investigated.

Then the next thing to determine is the direction

The blood moon that finally appeared from the West represents the primordial blood moon deity, symbolizing the primal and the blood

Just like the Victorian-era films that Su Ge saw, the elegant British gentlemen, the mysterious and eerie religions, the fog-shrouded cities, the Gothic architecture, and the people struggling between superstition and science, all of these truly exist

Steam trains, steam locomotives, steam airships, and even steam robots and steam gear guns have become widely popular

Su Ge did not dare to move a muscle, his vacant eyes gazing at the three moons in the sky, red, white, and purple, which were somewhat bewildering

The snow in the sky fell heavier and heavier, yet strangely, Su Ge felt no cold at all

The heartbeat and the breath through the nose indicate that one is still human, not a spirit.

He pinched the skin and Su Ge nodded, saying, "The sensation is still there, which indicates that the sensory nerves are functioning well."

On one evening while returning from work, heavy snow suddenly fell from the summer sky. In his astonishment, a peculiar spear descended from above, piercing his heart.

Four years ago, his parents passed away due to a factory accident. Although it felt as if the sky had fallen at that time, he received a substantial compensation. Additionally, with an old house in his family and a rented room, Su Ge was able to make ends meet.

Missing for three days is still within a normal range, but if someone goes missing for seven or eight days and suddenly returns, the police will quickly come knocking on your door to verify whether you participated in any strange gatherings

Not merely a corpse, but a body that is about to be disposed of.

According to the memory of Suge Sotos, he was an outstanding student in the philosophy department. During his graduation confession at school, he was humiliated due to his lowly status. In a fit of anger, he joined a cult that promised him great power: the Death Cult

However, it was initially thought that one could step into the realm of the mysterious, gaining extraordinary power and status, and when returning to seek revenge, it was discovered that the necromancer required not an apprentice, but a test subject. He merely imparted some basic and superficial knowledge to Sogoth Sothoth and did not reveal anything further.

However, this time the journey was extremely nerve-wracking, causing Su Ge to tense up completely, not daring to show the slightest negligence

The three-quarter moon appears at six o'clock in the evening, reaches its highest point in the sky at midnight twelve o'clock, then returns along the same path, and disappears at six o'clock in the morning

The purple moon that appears from the north is the hazy purple moon goddess among the March goddesses, symbolizing mystery and science

It is truly a splendid yet chaotic world. As he briefly reminisced about Sog's memories, Sog couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.

However, he never dreamed that the dream of traveling through time in his childhood would truly come to fruition

The robust middle-aged man in the back said in a low voice: "It should be a problem with the formula. Let's add some bone marrow and lizard brain, and try again in a few days"

There is so much wild grass here, and I cannot see any streetlights or buildings. According to my memory, this should be the wasteland in the western suburbs of the city. Therefore, I just need to head east to return to Bain City

Every night, three moons rise simultaneously from the east, north, and west in this world

Another minute passed, and the two individuals stopped in front of a patch of wild grass taller than a person, shouting slogans as they threw Su Ge into the grass and covered him with a wooden board

The current time is already late at night; from the position, it should be around 2:00 AM. This makes things easier. If we head east, following the pale moon should not be a problem.

"Jess, please help me cover this up," said a somewhat emaciated middle-aged man in a low voice

Fortunately, the two individuals seemed quite certain that Su Ge was already dead, and did not pay much attention, instead focusing more of their energy on vigilance towards their surroundings

However, this world has deviated far from the developmental trajectory of the Earth due to the real existence of mysterious arcane powers.

Sogoth Sothoth? Necromancer apprentice? Death cult... A vast array of unprecedented memories, previously unknown knowledge, and even languages emerged in his mind

"Hurry up, if we run into that group of night watchmen, we're done for!" Jess said, and the two quickly left.

It is not possible; it has already been missing for three days. We must hurry back, otherwise, it could lead to trouble. Su Ge thought to himself as he prepared to return.

Upon thinking of this, he carefully surveyed his surroundings. It was now night, and nothing could be seen clearly; he could not even distinguish between east, south, west, and north

"Suge" lay on the wooden plank

I have inexplicably died once already, and I do not want to die a second time right after just crossing over!" Su Ge felt an immense sense of anxiety in his heart

Having lain on the ground for nearly an hour, and ensuring that the two individuals had completely left, Su Ge cautiously sat up and stretched his body

This is a steampunk world reminiscent of the early Industrial Revolution, where steam engines have been widely used and developed to an outrageous extent

Three days ago, he was captured to be used as a test subject, and subsequently killed, with the intention of transforming his corpse into a personal undead warrior

He is worried that those two individuals will return again; if they are discovered, he will undoubtedly face a dead end

Five minutes ago, he completed a traversal, entering a corpse and becoming one of the countless traversers in various novels

Oh! You really scared me!

The robust Jace nodded and said, "Rest assured, I will take care of it for you."

Su Ge was previously an ordinary young man, going to work and returning home on time every day, his edges smoothed by the mundane life, giving up on his youthful dreams, quietly waiting for marriage and children

Gradually relax the tense nerves, as the memories of the time traveler from Suge surge in waves, coming in batches.

The family of Sog Sototh is merely an ordinary working-class one, with parents working as cotton textile workers in a workshop, and he is the only child in the family

Let us first organize the memories of this unfortunate soul, Su Ge thought to himself

Listening to the footsteps of two individuals gradually receding, Su Ge lay motionless on the cold ground.

Suge sat down heavily on the ground, breathing heavily.

"What exactly went wrong?" The middle-aged man, whose face was not clearly visible, spoke with a tone full of frustration

Am I alive or dead now?" A low, hoarse voice emerged from Socrates' throat

Breathing heavily, Su Ge raised his hands to check his physical condition

Damn it, don't you have a custom of closing the eyes of the deceased? I've been staring for so long without blinking that my eyes are about to dry out. Su Ge shouted in his heart, making an effort to keep his dry eyes wide open, trying his best to hold his breath and pretend to be a corpse

With a clear train of thought, Su Ge, with his feet stuck in the mud, limped forward with great difficulty

Speaking, he reached out to touch his own heart, and after confirming that his intense gasping was indeed real and not an illusion, Su Ge felt relieved

He cautiously looked around to ensure that no one was really present, then let out a deep breath

Cherish life, stay away from cults. Su Ge recited silently in his heart as he walked

First, I saw my own pair of hands, devoid of any color, as pale as those of a corpse

And the result, naturally, was failure. Thus, the scene of the body being discarded just occurred.

Six months ago, he graduated from Suge University; however, instead of seeking employment, he joined some church without any skills, engaging in mysterious activities every day. His childhood good friend, Evan Martin, has not spoken to him for almost a month.

The white moon that rises from the east represents the highest faith of this world, the pale moon goddess born in March, symbolizing fertility and purity

In the wilderness, two individuals dressed in black robes and wearing hoods, their faces obscured, are advancing through the desolate landscape while carrying a wooden board

Heart! Upon thinking of this, Su Ge wanted to look at his chest, yet he still did not dare to move

Hoo Hoo ... ...

He has maintained this posture for five minutes and is about to reach his limit

A cold wind blew, and snowflakes began to drift down from the sky

This Sogoth Sothoth is indeed naive. A death cult? It sounds like a cult, not taking work seriously, engaging in such activities all day, and even getting themselves killed? Truly, one would not die if one did not court death.

At this moment, he is a "corpse"
