Oh my God!

The others gaped at it.

The fact that the rotten corpse was actually alive and could even run sent chills down their spines.

Zeke immediately commanded, “Ares, stop him.”

“On it!” Ares unsheathed his sword and swung it at the corpse.

The corpse was frightened by his action and immediately stopped running.

It then turned to kneel before Ares, yelling, “Please spare me, Godfather!”

Godfather!

The word caused Ares to stiffen, and he hastened to put away his sword and glared at the corpse.

“Who are you? Why are you calling me Godfather?”

The corpse slowly looked up at him. “It's me, Godfather. C-Can't you recognize me?”

Ares studied its face carefully.

After a long while, he exclaimed, “Shawn Quillen! You're Shawn!”

The corpse nodded. “Yes, it's me, Godfather!”

Devastated, Ares could not help but stagger backward. “How could it be possible? You... You've been dead for five

years. How could you still be alive?”

The others rushed forward and surrounded Shawn.

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Zeke asked, “Ares, do you know him?”

“He's my godson. Great Marshal, he once poured us drinks.”

Huh?

Zeke scrutinized Shawn skeptically. “Why don't I remember him?”

“Great Marshal, he was the runner-up in the Martial Artist National Examination five years ago. After passing the

exam, he was assigned to work under me. As he was talented and intelligent, I took him in as my godson. I also

introduced him to you back then. However, he was later killed by the enemy in a battle. I was the one who collected

his body and buried him, so I never thought that I'd see him again now,” Ares replied.

Ares' words rang a bell for Zeke.

If I'm not mistaken, Shawn must have joined Netherworld.

“Shawn Quillen, tell me honestly how on earth did you rise from the dead. I won't show you mercy if you dare to

lie!” Zeke demanded.

“I won't lie. If I do, my soul will perish!” Shawn began to explain everything. “All I can remember is that I lost

consciousness on the spot after being stabbed in the heart by the enemy in a battle. I don't know if I died or was

merely in a state of shock...”

“Well, you were indeed dead. I got the best doctor to examine you but was told that you already showed no signs of

life,” Ares said.

Shawn nodded. “When I woke up later, I found myself in a pool on top of a mountain. That pool of water was

magical as it healed my wounds and nourished my body. In less than twelve hours, my body returned to normal.

“But then I found out that the pool of water seemed to be controlling my mind. Realizing how creepy it was, I

sneaked away when people weren't paying attention. Of course, I failed to escape because that place was full of

powerful people. Through others, I learned that I was in a branch of a powerful yet mysterious organization called

Netherworld.

“Those who were in the pool with me became stronger and stronger, but I did not. My body even began to show

symptoms of a corpse, such as rotting and emitting fluid. I suspect it must be because I didn't spend enough time in

the pool.

“Of course, I didn't want to keep soaking in the water either, because those who stayed in the water for a day

became like machines that had no control of their conscious minds, programmed to obey all orders from

Netherworld!”
