Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

"We've placed them inside the bubbles to quarantine them from the rest of the waters... But at this pace, it'll most likely continue to spread..." sighed the guard. "Some people are already presenting large mutations... Those that have lost their sanity have been locked down, but the areas in which we can keep them are all being occupied."

"T-That's..." the King seemed unable to even give a proper answer. "Don't worry, the heroes here said they would defeat the King of the Depths, perhaps after his death, the disease might disappear."

"What disease?" I wondered.

"What's happening? Is there sick people?" Emeraldine asked.

"You mentioned mutations?" asked Lucifer.

"Ah... well..." the queen muttered.

"It's another of the problems which we didn't really wanted to bother you with, even though it's quite big..." the king said.

"Just explain, tell us what it is," I said.

"Well..."

Apparently, since the entire incident with the monsters began, that a strange disease started to be spread.

The blood of the smaller monsters they've been able to slay came infected with something, and once it spread inside the waters of the city, some people was affected.

Strange black spots started appearing over their bodies, they started experiencing fever, hallucinations, and severe pain over their entire bodies.

Some were so much in pain they were completely paralyzed, the disease spread out rapidly, and they quickly quarantined them inside of bubbles.

There was no cure to such a disease, their alchemy was subpar, and unable to heal anything. Trying to extract the mutated areas would only cause severe agony and pain and would make people quickly die.

"What's worse are the mutations, which started appearing on people that had been sick for over five days," said the King.

"Strange mutations, extra limbs, red eyes growing over their bodies, mouths with sharp fangs... The people were in pain and agony, some even growing strange tentacles," the Queen sighed.

"And in this stage, aside from the mutations, red-, black-, and purple-colored crystals would start growing on people, slowly consuming their life and sanity, they would become insane, losing their minds and unable to recognize anybody," the King said.

"T-This is a disease we call {The Depth's Fever}," said the Queen. "And... there's currently no cure."

That disease... it sounds too familiar, isn't it?

[After learning from the King and the Queen about a deadly disease that has begun to spread across the people of the Aquarose Kingdom, you've learned that it is not a disease, but a

Miasmic Infection.]

[If not treated any time soon, the mutations might only continue to worsen and the infection to spread uncontrollably, a bleak future awaiting the people of this Kingdom, only becoming a farm of Demonite for the King of the Depths to devour later.]

[You've offered your help to the King and the Queen, and now the fate of these people is

within your hands.]

[Completion Rewards]: [EXP] [System Points] [Special Items]

[Failure Penalty]: [Lose the Trust of the Mermen] [Decreased EXP Earned] [System Points

Tax]

[Time Limit: 3 Days]

[Do you accept this Quest?]

[Yes] [No]

[If not answered within 10 Minutes, the Quest will be automatically accepted.]

So there's actually a chance for me to just reject it, huh?

It is also showing that there's clear Failure Penalties, something I didn't see before either!

Interesting... Very interesting, I suppose the Failures are justified.

After all, the System uses a lot of resources for each Quest, if I fail it, the System needs to take

back some of that to recover the loses.

Of course, this wasn't really hard to do anyways, so I pressed [Yes] without hesitation.

[You have accepted the Quest!]

[Time Remaining: 3 Days.]

"Let's do this."
