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

-----

"He freed himself from my curses?"

Gabriel couldn't believe it.

This was the first time this was even happening through his entire life.

Much like Sofia, he was someone born from parents that were already Dream Warriors.

Therefore, he was born with a Dream Heart, a strange one.

His Dream Heart was often times called a "Nightmare Heart" even though it possessed no Nightmare Essence inside.

Some people were scared of his Dream Weapon when it finally manifested too, as it resembled Nightmares.

Countless of crimson eyes and shadows, that was it…

Living a life while always being feared, and unable to properly control his powers from a young age, the boy had grown with a cold, most of the time detached personality.

He was always detached from people and reality, thinking he was unable to ever interact with anybody.

His powers brought fear into people, and they were curses and nothing else…

Even his own parents were afraid of him…

His mother was nice, or she tried, but his father was so afraid of him since the moment he was cursed when he attempted to hit him.

"I'm sorry dad… My eyes activated on their own! Dad!"

"Uuggh… Guugghh…!"

He still could recall his abusive father convulsing in agony as he was cursed a dozen times. His eyes acted on their own, they were his guardians.

"Mom…! Mom help!"

"Hyeee! D-Don't get close to me, you Nightmare!"

"E-Eh?"

Since then, his already distant parents became even more distant… He always felt alone, nobody talked to him, and nobody ever bothered to look at his face.

He often times looked at the ground because he was afraid his eyes could end up cursing someone too.

"Am I… Am I really a Nightmare? Should I… die so I don't bother people anymore?"

Many times, he thought about suicide.

But at the end, he was too afraid of what he could become if he died.

What those eyes could do to others… if they were no longer bound to him upon his death.

He always thought his Curses were indestructible, they destroyed anything they touched…

There were cures, other Dream Weapons with healing and anti-curse properties could heal those cursed by him.

The academy had lots of people like this, especially the nurses… so he was sure Lucifer would be fine.

He wanted it to end quickly too, the quicker the better, so his opponent wouldn't have to suffer too much.

Yet…

"How?"

He glanced at Lucifer rushing towards him, spreading out his draconic wings and then reaching his giant claws against him.

"How… how did you break through my curses?"

FLUOSH!

His Cursed Eyes moved on their own, placing themselves in front of him and rotating constantly, cursing Lucifer dozens of times.

Yet his Draconic Aura destroyed all curses within seconds!

"My Dream Weapon isn't the scythe you saw!" said Lucifer, destroying the Cursed Eyes with his draconic claws. "It is this power, my Dragon Heart!"

"D-Dragon Heart?! I've never heard of something like that before!" Gabriel gasped, amazed.

And he was even more surprised to see his Cursed Eyes being destroyed, something he had never seen before!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Each one of his eyes, these damned eyes he hated so much, they exploded, making funny noises.

He was perhaps one of the rare Dream Warriors that absolutely abhorred their Dream Weapons and thought of them as a curse.

"Ah… he's really destroying the eyes… That's just amazing…"

The force of Lucifer's attacks pushed his weak, frail body into the ground.

He felt the coldness of the stone floor beneath, and hit his head rather hard, he felt pain.

"I-I lost…?"

He couldn't believe it!

Despite hating his powers, using them to win was the only last thing he could do.

His last shred of pride…

Yet now, he lost.

He couldn't help but cry, as Lucifer pointed his sharp dragon claws at his face.

"I-I lost…" he muttered, while crying. "I give up…"

"Hm…" Lucifer glanced at the boy crying, sighing.@@novelbin@@

The students all around the arena's stadium started talking with one another in disbelief.

Gabriel, the boy everyone feared lost…

And was crying!

"H-He has emotions?"

"I can't believe it! Lucifer was immune to his curses this whole time?!"

"Is he the first person discovered that is immune to them?"

"Wow…" Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire

"Hahah! Look at his cocky face crying like a damn kid! Haha!"

"Hahahaha! Loser!"

As most students that feared him relaxed, beginning to laugh at Gabriel as he cried, Lucifer groaned angrily.

And he remembered that he was well known as a bully.

"OI, YOU SHITHEADS!"

He roared back at the students, hundreds of them!

"DON'T YOU DARE MOCK THE KID! OR HIS EYES ARE GOING TO CURSE YOU TO DEATH!"

As he smiled mockingly, the people felt a bit angered, some afraid again, and others laughed.

"A-Ah… Why did you say that?"

Gabriel sat down, looking at Lucifer with a sad puppy face.

"Stand up, kid."

Lucifer gently extended his hand, helping the boy stand up.

Then, he patted his shoulders and clothes, cleaning him from the dirt.

"There, all good now?"

"Y-Yeah… Thanks?"

"You don't have to cry because you lost. There's more to life than just showing your power or something… You're just a kid after all."

"Huh? Aren't I a year older than you?"

"A-Aaah! Hahah, it doesn't look like it!" laughed Lucifer. "Anyways, let's go. It's over."

"Thanks…" Gabriel was surprised, as Lucifer invited him to sit down with him.

He felt strangely… happy.

Wasn't this the first time someone was talking to him without clear fear in their eyes or voice?

"If someone is bullying you or something just tell me," said Lucifer. "I'll beat them."

"A-Ah, no, don't worry… I've never been bullied…" Gabriel smiled cutely.

"Hah, he's just a cute kid at the end," Lucifer sighed, patting his head. "This world is so cruel to children… But well, which world isn't?"

He gripped his fists tightly, as a father, he always felt the need to protect kids.

He glanced at the only battle that was still ongoing, Martine against Sofia.
