As we saw the souls slowly dissipate on the horizon, I suddenly felt as if something leveled up.

I looked into my Soul Grimoire, which emerged as a phantasmal book in front of me, and realized a few Skills and Titles leveled up… huh, I guess?

The titles that level up were Undead Queen, the Dark Witch, and Spirit Mediator… Interesting. Ah, talking about Spirits, I wonder if I’ll ever get one myself. That never went anywhere, mostly because of all the stuff thrown at me back then.

But now that I am free and relaxed, can I get a spirit?! I want one! I even got a job that is about Spirits, and I remember getting a lot of Skills and Titles out of it that enhanced my power. I think I even got Spirit Magic, but without a spirit to back them up, they’re useless!

Ugh… Well, I am always seeking for one, but Darkness and Death Spirits are very rare, according to Emeraldine, so I have to keep looking.

She said that they’re very rare to find because Spirits thrive where there is a lot of energy, but in places where there is death and darkness, there isn’t ever any energy there.

Maybe the night? Yeah, but the night is temporary, so spirits of darkness cannot really make a home out on the surface.

So I can find them underground? I don’t really know, but that’s what my common sense is kind of trying to tell me. Perhaps I can find them in the underground…

No, I am not digging right now or something. I actually want to get going now. We are pretty close to our destination now: the ruins of the ancient Demon Kingdom ruled by the old Demon King…

If I find a spirit on the way, that’s nice. But if not… that’s nice too, I guess.

Seeing how things are progressing now, we should be done by now.

But we’ll let the people mourn for now, and then we’ll proceed with moving out tomorrow.

I just want to relax for now and go to take a nap.

Ding!

[You have acquired the [Saint of Death: Lv1] Title Skill]

Huh?! What is this? I got another Title Skill? Haven’t I gotten plenty of them now? How convoluted you want my status to be! And it has an eerie-sounding name to boot! “Saint of Death” doesn’t sound nice to me… Am I really the saint of death itself?

Ah, makes sense, seeing how Hel granted me her Divine Protection and everything… But why did I get such a Title? System, can you tell me?
