The maze was built starting with the mother skeleton replenishing its magic.

"What is this, Mr. Lance?"

"Your gift."

At the entrance to the Kru Maze, two skeletons, one large and one small, crouched down, looking down at the ground.

As for what he was looking at, Lance thought it was probably one-sixty-fourth of the adventurer's fragments.

After his death, the [Revenge] talent was triggered, which not only blew up the cave entrance, but also shattered his own body into pieces.

Martin was buried for two days after his death, and then he came back to life as a skeleton.

Lance suddenly wondered what would happen if this one-sixty-fourth fragment of Harvey were resurrected.

"Angelica, step back a little."

"oh."

[Resurrect the Dead] Activated!

Half of the health and half of the mana have been consumed, which means the skill was successfully activated.

However, nothing happened.

Just as Lance was wondering, the fragments of Harvey in front of him floated into the air and then began to expand like a sponge soaked in water.

In no time, Harvey was rejuvenated and put to good condition.

It felt like the resurrection process had started, only to find that the target corpse hadn't been found.

This directly caused the program to malfunction and begin reassembling, piecing together Harvey before his death.

Lance checked his panel.

.....

Let's just say it's a program glitch.

The race was directly changed to "Undead-Human", which has a kind of messy beauty that means that even if the product has bugs, it has to be launched before the deadline.

However, the previous "Belzaha's Blessing" has disappeared.

Did death refresh the Demon God's buff?

Harvey slowly awoke from his unconsciousness. After sitting up from the ground, he groggily looked around and found two skeletons, one large and one small, surrounding him and staring at him.

I was so startled that I jumped up.

"Skull!" Harvey yelled.

Anyone would be startled by this situation.

"Mr. Lance, is this the gift you mentioned?" Angelica asked softly as she squatted down.

"The skeleton...the skeleton is talking!" Harvey screamed, clutching his head, then froze.

Wasn't I already dead?

Lance stood up, put his hands behind his back, and stared at him with burning crimson eyes.

"Sinner who blasphemes the domain of the King of Labyrinths, state your name."

"The Labyrinth King?" Harvey stammered.

"State your name!"

"Harvey, my name is Harvey!"

"Why did you blow up my entrance?!"

"I...I don't know anything!"

Harvey had just recovered somewhat from his near-death experience when he looked up at the cave entrance blocked by rubble.

Recalling the scenes from before, he realized that he had instinctively run here when he was on the verge of death.

Well, I guess he did it?

"I'm giving you a chance to atone," Lance said, pushing Angelica forward. "Answer her questions properly."

"Huh?"

Angelica was somewhat at a loss.

She didn't want to ask questions.

Seeing Harvey staring at her, Angelica had no choice but to ask:

"Didn't Glenn take you away? Why are you back?"

I think I heard Glenn's name coming from the mouth of a skeleton.

Harvey's mind was in turmoil; he had so many questions that he didn't even know where to begin.

He had no choice but to answer Angelica's questions while trying to organize his thoughts.

"When Glenn and I were almost at Ross Town, we encountered a carriage. A blonde female knight and a...fat dwarf?" stepped out of the carriage.

"Then the female knight drew her sword and pointed it at me, saying that I was infected with a blood curse and asking if I had encountered anyone who claimed to be the Berzaha witch."

"I started to recall, and suddenly I lost control of my emotions and turned into a monster. Then I was chased by the female knight. By the time I hid in this cave, I had recovered from my monster state, and then I died here due to my severe injuries."

After saying that, Harvey winked at the two of them.

And now, he's supposedly dead but still alive, and he can even understand what the skeleton is saying.

Angelica stood frozen in place, mouth agape, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

Beside him, Lance crossed his arms, his tone tinged with amusement:

"Now you know what the gift is, right?"

"Oh my god!!!!!"

Angelica clutched her head, letting out a sharp, explosive sound.

The screams attracted other monsters in the maze, including skeletons, kobolds, and swamp frogs, who poked their little heads out of the cave entrance, eager to see what was happening.

"You're infected with a blood curse!" Angelica exclaimed urgently. "Where did you meet the Berzaha witch?!"

"I haven't met anyone like that," Harvey frowned. "I've always lived with my sister, and I haven't had any contact with women other than her... Hmm?"

Besides his sister, it seems he has recently been in contact with another woman.

The girl that younger sister brought back, Clara.

"Think back to whether you've recently encountered anyone saying anything strange, or asking you to offer anything in return!"

Angelica's little mouth kept babbling away.

Harvey's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

Now that you mention it, Clara did say some strange things.

For example, calling him "the best vessel" or saying "your wish has been fulfilled."

But he clearly didn't make a wish.

"Besides my sister, I've only recently come into contact with a girl named Clara, who is homeless."

Before Harvey could finish speaking, Angelica unleashed another deafeningly loud voice that seemed capable of destroying the world.

"ah!!!!"

"Klara! That's her! She was in the witch's lair two years ago!"

Angelica covered her cheek and screamed, then lost her ability to speak again, her mouth agape, seemingly speechless.

"That's how we found her, didn't we?" Lance chuckled, putting his arm around Angelica's shoulder while looking at Harvey. "Where did you meet that witch?"

"My sister, her, and I have been living together for a while now..."

"..."

"No! My sister is in danger!"

Now it's Harvey's turn to be anxious.

I turned around to leave, but then I looked up and saw...

Oh no! I forgot he blew up the entrance!

"Harvey, you're dead, and you know that better than anyone."

"The price for resurrecting you is to become a monster, forever unable to leave the labyrinth."

Harvey's eyes widened. Am I a monster now?

But I still feel like a human being! Don't give up on me!

The feeling of powerlessness seemed to drain all his strength in an instant, causing him to kneel on the ground.

After a while, he seemed to have thought of something.

Harvey looked at Lance, braced himself with his hands on the ground, and banged his head on the ground.

"Please help me!"

"I'll give anything for you, just let me go back to Lena's side!"

Lance really couldn't do anything about this.

If he could leave the maze, he would have done so long ago.

"Foolish!" Lance cursed. "If that witch really wanted to harm you and your sister, you should have died long ago, not on my doorstep."

He then turned to look at Angelica, who had been frozen in place for a long time.

"Angelica!"

"what?"

The little skeleton only came to its senses when Lance called its name.

"Is the witch very powerful?"

"Two years ago, when the church besieged the witch's lair, the witch Klara was one of the weaker ones, only level 50."

"?"

How did the words "only" and "level 50" end up together?

and many more.

"Miss Angelica, what was your rank when you participated in the subjugation...?"

Level 69.

Oh, it's Lady Angelica! My apologies!

"Anyway," Lance cleared his throat, put his hands behind his back, and lowered his voice to Harvey, "your sister should be safe, and there's no use in rushing; you can't leave the maze."

"I'll pay for the damage to the tunnel entrance," Harvey said painfully. "Please let me out."

This person is so stubborn! I already said we can't get out!

Martin didn't question me at all after he was resurrected!

Lance opened a portal and dragged Harvey to the first level of the Starfall Maze.

"This is... one level of the Starfall Maze?"

Harvey was dumbfounded

Weren't they just in the Kru Maze next to Ross Town?

"That's the exit of the maze," Lance pointed to the side. "If you're still not giving up, go ahead and give it a try."

Lance had already tried it when he was first reincarnated; for monsters, there was a transparent wall at the exit of the maze.

Once a monster gets close, it will be repelled and unable to escape.

Wait until Harvey gives up before comforting him a little, and while you're at it, ask him about the specific effects of [Transformation LV5].

and many more......

What the hell!

Why did he go out?!
