Chapter 21: Death
A/N: Sorry for coming back late. I'm really busy with my school and exam stuff honestly.
So this time, I will try my best to finish Arc 1. Maybe in +20 chapters.
And after that, I will put this novel on a hiatus, unfortunately.
But don't worry, I will come back (hopefully soon) with a mass release of Arc 2 and a re-edited version of Arc 1! Arc 1 will change a lot (writing quality, some details, and story)
So consider this as the first draft.
And, oh yeah, thanks for your support. I love you all.

"You should not know this kind of information!"
'I also didn't expect it to be filtered like that...'
"Haha, so what? Shut up and fight, you little piece of skeletal shi-."
It looked deadly in my eyes.
"Well, well, you asked for it. I had no choice but to kill you then."
Sigh.
'This gonna be not easy at all.'
Huff.
I breathed in to stay calm.
My [Death Sense] activated and everything became slower.
'Already?'
'But I know every moveset of the boss, so it's not a problem at all.'
'I think so...'
'I just need to recall it from my memory!'
The first move that the boss would use is,
[Ice Spear]
I tilted my head a little bit and the spear flew next to it.
BOOM.
The sound echoed from the door that I entered.
'Phew. So the boss still has the same move set!'
'That's good to know.'
"Ho ho. A quick one, huh?"
'The next move will be it...'
I ran straight to the boss and tilted my head to the left side as hard as I could.
A spear flew right by my head.
Afterward, I did a dive roll to my right side.
And an [Ice Wall] appeared from the ground and surrounded the boss.
I charged my bow to the fullest and shot with my flame arrow.
The arrow hit through the thick ice wall and hit right at its head.
["Critical Hit" has happened.]
[Due to the talent "Weakness Detection", "Critical Damage" increased by a half.]
'The boss still hasn't moved at all...'
I took the [Iron Dart Rope] out of my dimensional ring.
I tried my best to recall how that old man Enomoto Atsuta used the weapon.
I closed my eyes, and then the dart rope began swinging around.
'He swung it as if he controlled an Asian Dragon.'
'I want to be that fluid and fluent just like him.'
"[Ice Spear Rainstorm]."
Hundreds- no. Thousands of [Ice Spear]s were summoned out of nowhere.
This is definitely different...
In the game, the boss didn't have this skill.
'Oh shi-'
But I had no choice other than to counter that skill.
'The area of that skill is ridiculously unfair.'
The tip of the dart rope hit every single one of the ice spears coming towards me.
But...
As the time flew, my arms began trembling because of my low stamina.
Every spear that I counter hit hard like a truck.
'Shit, shit, shit, shit...'
And.. then
One of them hit right through my chest.
Urgh.
* *
I used to be the very best.
The one and only prosperous King of Great England.
I fought and trained so hard.
I spent all those years becoming the strongest king.
And then I died.
But it's not the end of my life.
Somehow I became the King of the Skeleton in a place looking no different from Hell.
At that moment, I was the most powerful Lich with SSS+ rank Necromancy and Ice Magic.
I could summon all kinds of terrifying skeletal monsters.
And then suddenly one day,
The portal to the Earth opened again.
And ironically, I, along with my entire army, had been forced to invade the Earth.
Humanity nearly lost its territory...
And I could do nothing... but continue to kill all the humans while desperately trying to wish that I could stop my actions.
Until that person appeared.
The Number One Hero.
He could use all types of magic.
When I met him, I couldn't stand a chance against him.
He was like the protagonist of a novel.
And then,
I died... yet another again.
Even though I'm really envious of him.
But fortunately, my hometown had been saved.
I really regretted invading my own country.
I had always wanted to stop my killing and that guy had actually done it.
Why did I have to fight against my cherished ones?
I had killed so many courageous warriors who used to be my close friends.
I owe him my life.
However, after undergoing all of that shit, I resurrected again.
And this time.
Surprised, surprised.
A freaking skeleton king.
But I'm not as powerful as before.
That's actually a good sign.
I lived again...
'But I don't want to kill any humans.'
So, I decided to make a whole new dimension for myself to live in.
And the path to this place is also really hidden.
No one will be able to open it.
'That's just impossible.'
But somehow, it's not as impossible as I thought.
Today I met a human.
For the longest time that I could possibly remember.
He wore a lot of weird clothes so it must be a new era already.
I didn't know why he could enter this place, to begin with.
But since my monster instinct told me to kill him, I had no other choice either.
'Sorry kid.'
'I'm really sorry.'
'I really had no other choice.'
After a while of fighting that kid, he was lying there with no sign of living.
* *
'It's so painful.'
'My body...'
There were a lot of small holes in the middle of my stomach.
Blood coming from there is like a waterfall.
And yeah...
There was also the wound from the last fight with the Lich.
Every wound was like a step to exponentially driving me insane.
'I'm dying... right?'
'So after all, there are still some crucial changes...'
'I should have been more cautious...'
'But...'
'I have tried my best...'
'Right?'
'I can rest now... right?'
'Mom and Dad... I miss you all...'
'I'm not a good brother...'
'I will come to your place now.'
'Wait for me just a bit more...'
Everything I saw was so blurry.
'No, no. What am I talking about?'
'I have to stand up quickly.'
'I still don't want to die this soon... again.'
'I have so many things I wanna do.'
'I don't want to break that promise again.'
'This is perhaps my last chance to find out the answers to everything in my life.'
My consciousness began fading.
* *
'I have tried my best to reduce my aggressiveness and end his suffering as soon as possible.'
That kid was special...
I really thought that he could stand up against me...
It's truly a pity to kill a kid just like that.
But again, I had no choice.
I really wonder why that kid can have that kind of information.
Because as of now, that 'plan' has yet to star-
But suddenly, the kid's body was shocked and began trembling intensely.
His eyes were blank as if he was actually dead.
But his body refused to die and tried to stand up.
Blood was coming out of his body like a fountain.
His eyes are-
