"Amm~ Where am I? Why is everything so dark..."

    "So you finally willing to wake up? I thought it would take a lot longer," A familiar voice, full of sarcasm, sounded in Myne''s ears. He was barely conscious and couldn''t quite grasp what was happening.

    "Big Sis? Why am I hearing her voice? Shouldn''t it be Aisha or Sylphy around me? Where did she come from?" Though his head was spinning and his thoughts were foggy, Myne managed to push the wet cloth off his face. A blinding light hit his eyes, making it difficult to open them.

    After a moment, his vision cleared, and he saw his dear sister, Maya, standing before him, along with her good-for-nothing husband, Jin. They were deep in conversation, discussing something very serious. In the background, Aisha stood quietly with an expressionless face, holding a big bag filled with glass bottles containing unknown liquids.

    Confused, Myne looked around and realized he was in his own bedroom in Lucus Town, not in the capital city, chasing a weirdo who liked hiding behind his summoned monsters.

    "Ahhhm, why does my body hurt so much?" Just as Myne tried to sit up, he felt excruciating pain shooting through his body. He could barely move his fingers, let alone anything else.@@@@

    "Calm down, you''re injured. It will take time to heal, so don''t move unless I tell you," Maya scolded him. Seeing him try to get up despite the pain, she rolled her eyes in annoyance, and flicked his forehead hard, clearly, she was furious, but had no way to vent her anger in the other party''s current condition.

    "All right, but what happened to me?" Myne asked hesitantly under Maya''s deadly glare. He had no idea why he was back home, why Maya was glaring at him as if she wanted to kill him, or why he was so badly injured, and his proud OP healing skill suddenly became useless.

    "Well, where to start," Maya crossed her arms under her proud boobies, looking as if she were deep in thought. After a few seconds of pondering, with a light chuckle, she began, "It started when an idiot tried to do something that wasn''t his business, despite being repeatedly warned by someone close to him, but that bastard idiot one way or another always found a way to f*cked himself up."

    "Wait, Sis, you know that guy in the black robe?" Myne hurriedly interrupted Maya, got up, grabbed her hands, and asked with burning eyes, clearly wanting revenge on someone who had taken quite a bit of advantage of his poor body.

    "No, I don''t know him. I just made a random guess based on his actions and the curse he cast on you. This type of high-level curse can only be casually cast by a Tier 3 or above necromancer. It not only keeps the target alive but also tortures their spirit slowly over time to force them to become a vengeful spirit. It''s a common trick of those weirdos to cultivate their ghost army."

    "Otherwise, how do you think he let you go, and only took some of your body parts and organs, couldn''t he just take your entire body with him? He just didn''t realise the full potential of your healing skill, and wanted to make full use of you in a short period," Maya explained casually, sending a chill down Myne''s spine. He hurriedly touched his body to confirm that no parts were missing and breathed a sigh of relief.

    "Damn it, what the hell is such a dangerous character doing in our little world? And if he''s so powerful, why does he need to play cat and mouse with everyone and like to kidnapping random passersby? Can''t he just buy them from the slave market or take over a small village or something? Why directly attack the capital of a kingdom?" Myne cursed angrily. He really couldn''t understand the brain circuit of this big boss.

    "Although I don''t know what he wants, one thing''s certain: from now on, you''re not going to poke your nose into this matter. This necromancer is not something you can mess with, so stay away from him. Since he''s only kidnapping random passersby each day, let him do it. When he''s finished with his work, he''ll eventually leave. People of his level can''t stay in a backward place like our world, where there are hardly enough resources to meet the requirements of Tier 2 or above. Of course, if it different matter if he wants to retire and needs a peaceful place to spend the rest of his life, which I don''t think is possible since most necromancers are restless characters who can never be peaceful."

    "All right, since you''re healed now, move your ass and go outside. Others are worried about you too," Maya said, getting up from the bed and leaving the bedroom, giving Aisha a nod on her way.

    Lost in thought about the necromancer, especially trying to remember how he suddenly fell unconscious, Myne just hummed in response. It wasn''t until Aisha pinched his cheek that he came back to his senses and realized she was looking at him with teary eyes.

    "Sigh, why are you behaving like a little girl? I''m fine, aren''t I? How could anything happen to me? It''s not as easy to deal with your Lord Husband as it seems," Myne pulled Aisha into his arms, stroked her hair gently, and spoke softly to comfort her.

    "Sob, fine... Fine my ass. Do you even have any idea what condition you were in when we found you? You were barely recognizable. Almost all of your internal organs were missing. That bastard even took your heart. If it weren''t for your regeneration skill, and my healing skill, you would have died long ago..." Aisha sobbed while gently hammering her fist on his chest.

    "Okay, okay, I''m sorry, all right. But who would have expected that such a simple kidnapping task would turn out to be so life-threatening? Anyway, at least I''m alive and kicking, don''t I? So forget about the past and move forward. Now, my sweet wifuu, put aside those tears and let''s go outside. Sylphy and the others are worried sick about me too," Myne gave Aisha a deep, passionate kiss to calm her down, wiped her tears, and walked out of the bedroom with Aisha in his arms, speaking in a playful tone to lighten her mood.
