Elsewhere in the realm of Eternium...
A thin grey hand gripped a golden goblet, encrusted with gems. Each of the fingers on this hand had had a different ring, all magical artifacts of the highest order, emphasizing wealth or power.
“RAAARRRGH”
With a great force the goblet was thrown towards a wall to the right.
“Master, is the wine not to your taste?”
The kneeling servant was in a full butler uniform, somehow it perfectly fit, despite him being nothing more than bones.
“My last living descendant has died.”
“That’s terrible news master, shall I send someone to retrieve Walker’s corpse for rebirth?”
“We can’t, the foolish child, he wanted to impress me so badly he ran away and bonded himself to dungeon.”
“Ah, my condolences, do we know who did the deed?”
“No, but they’ll most likely take the Grimoire, a magic core won’t be able to replicate it.”
“Even if they sell it, we’ll be able to trace them through the owners.”
“Send Celanath to hunt for them.”
“Yes master.”
The grey figure leaned forward, they were sitting on a throne and they readjusted the black crown they were wearing. The throne consisted of bones of all shapes and sizes, the end of the armrest had two heads upon it. They looked alive and screaming in pain, they had been like this for millennium.
“No, that would be too easy a death for them.”
“And they may well be the blessed ones, they were prophesized to descend some time ago.”
“We’ll lure them here, write two letters to send with Celanath, if they are brazen enough to use the Grimoire send them an invitation, and say that I’m willing to teach them.”
“If they sold it, lure them here with the promise of treasures, greedy adventures always bite off more than they can chew eventually.”
“You’re far too ingenious master. I’ll have the letters penned right away.”

For some reason I got a chill down my spine, but looking at Alexis made it go away.
“I’d rather have a better look at those sexy pins, give us a twirl darling.”
I gave a cheeky grin back and spun my finger in the air.
She smiled, blushed and bit her lips.
Putting one leg in front of the other and crossing them, pointing the ankle of the one in front at me, she held her arms up at chest level, one in front of her one to the side. She pushed off and gave me a full triple pirouette.
“Like what you see?”
*clap clap*
“You are a proper daddy’s girl, aren’t you? Ballet n’ all.”
“9/10 though, You could have added an extra bit of flourish with an illusion turn at the end.”
Her cute ears lit up at this, but surprising me, she walked forward and gave me a peck on the cheek, whispering something my ear.
“If you really want to see my battle panties, you’ll have to be more charming than that you know?”
Oh my, how bold.
Breaking away from me, she backed off and turned around.
“Now c’mon, show me the money.”
“Alright, alright.”
Hmm this guy was loaded, we instantly got 150 gold each, and he dropped a lot of things, as Theo had said.
Check, need this, definitely, I guess some small country was backing this guy or something.
Check, need this, eventually I’d get some armour but this has more defence than my leather and magic resistance, would
really help if I meet a mage on my quest.
Check, need this, free ring always good, Alexis can’t wear.
Check, need this, see above, don’t know why two dropped.
Check, need this, how did you know I was gonna kill a thousand people? I wonder what resentment does, but floating sounds nice.
Check, need this, can’t let anyone bind me, might be fun in bed later.
Check, need this, undead army sounds peak, I wonder which grave this guy manage to pull this book out of.
Check, need this, but I can’t not let her roll on this.
“*sigh* not a single thing for poor little me.”
“What about the land token, you don’t want to roll for it?”
“*sigh* How can I since your love nest is here, even if I did take it, one of three things happens.”
“A, you and I become… well I don’t need to spell it out, but it’s yours anyways.”
“B, we become only friends, in which I join your guild and it’s basically yours anyways.”
“C, we break up and I end up owning the building my ex-boyfriend’s love nest is in, without a proper way to evict him.”
A great big grin arose on my face and I rolled need on all items.
“Oh, I’m your boyfriend now?”
“You are, aren’t you? You said what we have isn’t casual.”
“Mhm, I did say that, but there’s more than a single type of relationship between a man and woman, you haven’t even asked me about becoming your boyfriend.”
A quiver entered her voice.
“Huh, you don’t want to… or you can only have one girlfriend?”
“Nah, I just want to hear you say it.”
Her fists shook at her side in anger and she pouted, but there was a blush on her face.
“*Hpmh*Fine, I like you a lot, I can’t resist your wiles, be my boyfriend dummy.”
“Sure, but we’ll have to seal it with a kiss.”
“*Hmph* Fine.”
She began to draw closer, as I undid the buttons on my vest and took it off.
“Wait, what are you doing?”
“Taking my shirt off, of course we both have to do that, it’s pretty much standard amongst couples.”
“What? No way!”
“Are you backing out after coming this far?”
“Fine, but no further okay! And if you don’t get my sister’s approval on our relationship we’re getting a divorce!”
“Hmm, we seemed to have jumped another level.”
I said whilst stroking my chin.
“*Hmph* Of course you have to be willing to go that far!”
She pouted, crossed her arms and looked away from me.
“Of course I am, I said no casual relationships, in my religion you can have as many wives as you want you know?”
“How are you going to enter nirvana like that?!”
“Haha, entering nirvana is for the monks. Me? I’m aiming for Asura or Deva realms, I’ll do my best to take those I love with me.”
“The other thing as soon as you both agree you’re married, simple as that, I’m just unsure if you want to, I can wait until you’re ready.”
“We’ve only met in game, you’ve got a long life ahead of you, are you ready for a decision like this, it’s still until death do us part.”
“So you can have a hundred wives but I can’t have a hundred husbands?”
“Not at all, I’ll accept anything you want, I won’t lie, it’ll make me sad, but I can offer no less, so if you want another
husband you can have one.”
I gave her my best puppy dog eyes.
“Do you really want another man?”
She blushed and turned away.
“God, you… you’re the worst you know, you’re not even the king of wolves, you’re Fenrir in the flesh aren’t you?”
I stepped in closer and hugged her to me by her waist.
I kissed her ear and blew into it.
“Alexis you’re beautiful, if you present yourself on a platter, how can you expect me not to eat you up?”
I licked her cheek and bit her red ears.
“Our relationship is whatever you want it to be, just say the magic words.”
“You’ll be my boyfriend for now then…”
“And if we seal it with your kiss, and if we really meet, and I want you to, you’ll marry me, we can have a wedding in a church or anywhere I want?”
“The government won’t recognize us, but the rest can be done. You don’t have to do anything but be sure of your feelings if you want me to marry you.”
“Fine, close your eyes and turn around, and not a peek until I tell you to okay?”
“As you wish.”
We separated and I closed my eyes.
Turning around as she wished, I began to wait.
5 minutes had passed…
Soon 15 minutes had too…
As the sands of time ran, eventually I had lost count, an hour, two hours, who knows.
Then I received a whisper from Alexis.

Poor MC, left at the altar...
Be sure to follow for updates, idk when next chapter will be, but my exam is cutting it close.
Might give some spoilers of the next 2-3 chapters as repentance for having slow updates due to exams.
To clarify a question I might think will be asked, you don't have to be a necromancer to learn necromancy, but you need to have 35 dark afinity, to do that typically, you have to have a dark nature race or class, our MC manages to meet the mark thanks to his title. Though, I wonder if it will be the MC who ends up using the book, huhu!
