1.
The world’s strongest hunter.
The sole conqueror of the S-class gate.
One of the Seven Heroes who reached S+ rank.
The strongest necromancer leading the legion.
Commander King.
-Dalgrak!
I was the first skeleton soldier in that legion. * * *
thud!
The last giant has fallen to his knees.
[Victory: Humanity’s Suicide Squad]
[Defeat: Titans]
The message proclaimed the victory of humanity.
“Come out.”
A skeleton soldier was summoned from the ruins.
“It exploded.”
Phew!
It soon exploded and turned into dust.
“Is this a fanfare created with the final magical power?”
The commander let out a self-deprecating laugh.
[The Humanity Corps has lost the ability to carry out the 11th Dimensional Ascension Battle.]
You win, but you don’t win.
Humanity was destroyed early on because they could not handle the gate break.
All that remained was the suicide squad led by the Seven Heroes.
“What the hell, what’s the point of setting off a firework? There’s no one to look after you.”
Even that is already a thing of the past.
Seven Heroes, the King of Commanders.
He was the last survivor of humanity.
[The Humanity Squad achieved victory against an invincible force.]
[Humanity’s struggle was very moving.]
“Kuuuu, you sound like a dog.”
The Commander shook his body, which was now only his upper body.
“Ha! I should have just drunk some alcohol and died a long time ago. I made a fuss just to live a little longer.”
He was only able to temporarily postpone death with the power of his skill, but he didn’t have much time left.
So no matter what message came out, the Commander King’s response was lukewarm.
That was until I saw the following message.
[Achievement <Impossible, Incomprehensible, Unpredictable> achieved!]
[Gives MVPs the privilege of returning to a turning point in history!]
“… … What is it? Regression?”
The commander’s laughter stopped.
I read the message with blurry eyes.
“A turning point in history… …? So you’re saying we’re going back to the past?”
It doesn’t matter if you get special privileges or not, you’re an MVP.
“Of course I’m the MVP!”
The one who showed the most activity in the Dimension Ascension Battle was the Commander King, and he was the only one who survived.
“It’s good that you cleaned up those kids who were playing hero! Now I don’t have to worry about what might happen, right? Hahaha!”
The few dozen suicide squad members left eventually died out on their own as they fought.
The reason the Seven Heroes died was because of a debuff that the Lord of Death suddenly applied at the end of the fierce battle.
There was no particular reason.
“I really didn’t like the way he acted noble and virtuous, as if he were some kind of hero.”
Since I couldn’t win this dimensional ascending battle anyway, I just got rid of the things that were usually an eyesore.
That alone made me feel refreshed.
I think it was a good idea to put it away.
[MVP is the ‘Master of the Legion’.]
The system’s signature blue light poured down like a spotlight.
“Hahahahahaha!”
The Commander stretched out both arms toward the light and roared.
Soon, blue light will surround your body.
Then we go back to the past.
This time, I will absolutely not struggle.
Enjoy everything you can, and then quickly die before the Earth is destroyed.
I made plans like that though.
-Dalgrak?
The protagonist of the return was not the Command King.
“ha ha ha?”
The skeleton soldier that had been blown up earlier appeared again, glowing in blue light. * * *
A pitch-black space.
This is the subspace where the legions of the bone-made Lord of the Underworld wait.

-Dalgrak.
Broken bones, cracked swords.
A skeleton soldier with a pitiful appearance walked about in the pitch-black darkness.
Then something amazing happened.
[Old One, thank you for your hard work.]
-Dalgrak!
The Death Knight sets an example.
[Kk, kk, Old One. It’s gloomy outside and here, but the weather is nice.]
-Dalgrak!
Arkrich greets you warmly.
[Old One.]
-Dalgrak!
Even the Bone Dragon, who despises all beings including the Lord of the Underworld, nods his head.
The first skeleton soldier raised by the Commander King.
The oldest being in the legion.
So the title that was given was Old One.
However, the King of the Underworld did not show affection for his first summon, but rather used it as a substitute for firecrackers.
The legion showed great respect and reverence to this poor skeleton soldier.
-Dalgrak!
The skeleton soldier nodded.
The three legion commanders who had been proudly guarding their territory quietly stood in line.
[Both of you. Last time, it was in order of age, so today, you should receive it in order of enlistment, starting with the chief.]
[You’re really being a jerk on a day like this. Nobu is second to none by any standards, but I wonder if the Supreme Being will be okay with it?]
[The oath of the verb is absolute.]
The Death Knight took off his armor and prostrated himself before the skeleton soldier.
[Old One, the commander’s waist just broke in battle… … .]
-Dalgrak!
The skeleton soldier released his bony hand.
Two hands ran gracefully up the Death Knight’s spine.
Crap!
A cool, rhythmic sound!
The crooked Death Knight’s spine straightened.
[Oh!]
The Death Knight, who had not even screamed once during the battle with the Titans, let out a gasp.
Next, Arkrich stepped forward, rolling up the sleeves of his magnificent robe.
[I think I’ve been doing too many push-ups, my knuckles and shoulders are sore.]
-Dalgrak!
[Heh heh, heh heh heh.]
As the skeleton soldier caressed his knuckles and shoulder joints, an unusually kind laugh escaped Arkrich.
The last one was the bone dragon.
[The wing condition is not good.]
-Dalgrak!
The skeleton soldier climbed onto the bone dragon’s massive body, grumbling.
I started from the wingtips and worked my way down to the tip of the wing blades.
[hmm.]
The fear of the Bone Dragon, which was oppressing even the undead legions, has weakened.
-Dalgrak!
The pitch-black space has the power to repair the damage done to legionnaires.
Just like the skeleton soldier who was turned into a firecracker a moment ago is fine, the mid- and low-level legionnaires are instantly restored.
However, for higher-ranking legionnaires, especially those at the legion commander level, recovery takes a tremendous amount of time.
-Dalgrak!
However, when they passed through the hands of the skeleton soldiers, the damage to the three legion commanders was reduced by less than half.
Next is the executives’ turn.
-Dalgrak!
[Ohhh!]
[Whew, that’s good as expected.]
[Ahh~]
As we matched them one by one, the remaining damage to the executives disappeared.
The skeleton soldier’s activities did not end here.
-Thump, thump… .
-Dalgrak!
-Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!
-Dalgrak!
Listening to the grievances of the terminally ill skeleton soldiers and comforting them was also an important part of the skeleton soldier’s daily routine.
From the commander to the lowest soldier.
There wasn’t a single legionnaire left who didn’t receive help from the oldest skeleton soldier.
but.
[I suffered the humiliation of becoming a dead person. Still, it was good to meet you.]
[It was an honor to have you both as curators.]
[Kkkkk, I can’t believe that the day will come when I will hear such words from the Supreme Being and the tin can.]
This kind of life also ended today.
Because the commander leading the legion will die.
If I continue on with my daily life, hiding the emptiness in my heart that doesn’t exist, everything will end.
-Dalgrak?
It was definitely meant to be.
[Oh my goodness! Old Waron!]
[Calm down, tin can. My lord, isn’t this the light of the system?]
[… … I see. We weren’t the only ones who noticed the Old Ones!]
That is, until the skeleton soldier suddenly disappeared in a blue light. * * *
“You, you little punk!”
That’s where the skeleton soldier who disappeared like that arrived.
It was in front of the King of the Commander.
“I didn’t even summon it! No, I don’t even have the magic to summon it! Where did it come from!”
-Dalgrak!
“Get out of the way! Get out of the way! That light, the return is mine!”
The skeleton soldier quickly understood the situation as he was bathed in the brilliant blue light shining down on him.
“No, no! This is not it!”
The commander cried out.
“I am the one who raised the legion! I am the commander! I am the master of the legion!”
[The master of the legion is the one whom the legion members serve.]
Kuung!
The whole place resounded and the legions appeared.
The First Corps Commander, Bone Dragon, bowed his head.
[Meeting you is more valuable than completing immortal karma. I will remember you.]
A legion of bone beasts followed the Bone Dragon.
The 2nd Corps Commander, Arch Rich, held out a necklace.
[This is the life vessel of the old man. The person who claimed to be this ugly for research is offering his lifeline.]
The cursed magical legions have fallen to their knees.
The 3rd Legion Commander, Death Knight, offered his scythe.
[The sword is the true heart of a knight. Although it is a faded existence, I will dedicate my loyalty to you.]
The Immortal Knights’ legions thrust their spears and swords into the ground.
He wasn’t some kind of commander.
The oldest skeleton soldier in the legion.
A person who has not lost his or her self even after becoming a skeleton soldier.
A being who is respected, admired, and even loyal to all members of the legion.
He was once a necromancer, but his abilities were taken away.
Old one.
-Dalgrak!
He was the master of the legion.
-Dalgrak.
The skeleton soldier held the Death Knight’s scythe.
-Dalgrak.
The skeleton soldier wore a life vessel around his neck.
-Dalgrak.
The skeleton soldier exchanged greetings with the bone dragon.
The three legion commanders and their men finally felt the emptiness being filled.
[The door to return opens.]
Finally, the light illuminating the skeleton soldier gathered and gathered to form a single door.
-Dalgrak.
The skeleton soldier headed towards the door of light.
“Stop… Stop, Skeleton Soldier. This is the Master’s order.”
There was not an inch of hesitation in the clattering steps that passed the Commander-in-Chief.
“I told you to stand there! Seo Yi-jun!”
The screams of the Commander King did not stop the skeleton soldiers.
-Dalgrak.
The skeleton soldier took one last look at the legionnaire with his empty eyes, then disappeared through the door.
[Among mortals, he is the most stupid.]
[Kkkkkk, if it weren’t for you, the legion would have advanced further.]
[You were the weak point of the legion.]
There is no way the legion can survive without its true master.
With the laughter of the three legion commanders, the legions disappeared without a trace.
It wasn’t reverse summoned into pitch darkness.
The contract with the deceased was terminated according to the will of the true owner.
“Come back… … Come back… … .”
The commander muttered in vain.
Those were his last words.
[The door to return is closed.]
[The time axis of this dimension is closed to adjust causality.]
The world has disappeared. * * *
“… … Ugh!”
Seo Yi-jun took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
Sunlight is pouring in through the window.
‘house.’
It’s not the pitch black that it’s been for decades.
It was the house he used to live in.
‘The city is functioning.’
Outside the window, a rather normal cityscape, although not as old as before, was spread out in an unfamiliar way.
Seo Yi-jun slowly got up from the chair he was sitting on.
Knock knock!
Instead of the typical ‘clack’ sound of bone hitting bone, the skeleton soldiers’ joints were making an unfamiliar sound.
‘I’m back.’
Only then did it hit me.
‘I was not one of the Seven Heroes or the Death Squad who participated in the final war, but a mere skeleton soldier.’
The skeleton soldier regressed and became a human, Seo Yi-jun.
Decades spent as a skeleton soldier had worn down his emotions.
There is one emotion that remains distinct in Seo Yi-jun.
‘corps.’
At the last moment, a sense of responsibility towards the legion that had chosen him.
Exactly!
He swore, clenching his teeth as if it were a habit.
He was the first skeleton soldier of the Legion, and the master of the Legion.
‘This time for sure.’
You will become the true master of the legion.
