The Unnamed God. I'm really Not a God You Guys!

A tremor in the ground, a rattling sound in the air.

My scouting ability shows me a terrifying scene. The 50 assassins back on the other side now an after-thought. We ran from the wolf only to enter a dragon's lair. Not literally. At least I fucking hope there won't be any. Please let this not be a flag!

The land is covered in a swarming legion that is steadily progressing toward us.

Bones all over the place.

A nightmarish scene, or an archeologist's wet dream.

Tons and tons of skeletons walking the land. Like locust, darkening the world. Black bones from it being so ancient.

This is what a freaking death domain is all about. Full of the undead.

"What do you see?!"

[What has many bones and is coming over to murder us?]

"That could be literally anything, lots of things have bones in this world …."

Well, he's not wrong.

[…Skeletons. A shitload of skeletons.]

"Let's get the fuck out of here! Boys we run!"

At first, the atmosphere is heavy, but then after a while …it's still heavy as fuck. I mean obviously, there is an army pursuing us. The weird thing is no matter where we are heading, they seem to always be converging on our position.

[How the hell are they always following us?!]

"You can see them? Is it that ability you used on the assassins?"

[Yeah, let's me see stuff with an eagle point of view.]

"How many are there could we fight them perhaps?"

[I gave up counting after 500. This is madness.]

"Fuck. My guess is they are sensing our life signature. In a death domain, our existence is akin to a torch in the darkness."

[How do we hide it? Is it possible?!]

"Yep, super easy to do. You just need to die."

Yeah. How about fucking no. I would rather keep living. I have so much to live for. There is Wolfie, there is Luna, there is the sect, there is pie …that's about it.

Let me think. We are facing skeletons. What counters skeletons?

Healing magic is one! Yeah…no one is a priest here. Next!

We could use highly destructive magic to reduce them to smithereens, perfect when facing an army. That's a big nope. The mercenary leader is the only mage, and he focuses on support. Still, I'm sure there it might help a bit.

Wait...there is one thing that is super effective against skellys! That thing is blunt damage!

Against them slash damage is especially inefficient. I look around my companions all have that type of thing equipped…all except one guy. I slowly move closer to him. He gives me an interrogative glance.

[Don't worry about it, I just felt like moving slightly.]

I'm not gonna tell him I'm counting on him to protect me. That would seem weird right? I'm sure it would work if I was some cute babe. Then again, these guys don't seem the naïve type either.

"Wait I see something in front!"

What is it? I'm sure we should be fine for now….fuck!

There stand about 20 skeletons. Awaiting us. In their empty eye sockets glows a red light. The same light as the moon itself. Could these two be related?!

"Should we avoid them? How is your scouting going?"

I observe the surroundings. Fuck this is actually one of the weak spots, I see even more of them in the surroundings.

[We need to go through!]

We charge heroically. Then deadly attacks rain upon our enemies and make them ….okay, it's not really effective. The only one that does significant damage is that one guy with the mace.

[We need blunt damage to crush their bones! We are counting on you mace dude!]

The guy fights well and single-handedly takes care of about 10 of them with the others acting as a distraction. At some point, he does get tired, however.

[Hand your weapon to someone else, keep the rotation going! We annihilating them all!]

*throws mace to a friendly unit*

Thus the massacre resumes. Can it really be called a massacre when we are killing stuff that was already dead? If anything we are doing trash disposal right about now.

And they are all on the floor in pieces!

[Congratz all this has been a really good job …..fuck!]

The moon's glow falls on the pile of osseous matter. The bones of our fallen foes start to rattle. Then it starts to assemble itself into new skeletons. White and clean ones this time around. This is bad.

Of course, this would be an amazing way to farm for XP if such a thing existed. We can also easily deal with it before they become a threat. There is one issue, however. For every second we spend here the creatures chasing us get closer.

[Keep running!]

We resume our mindless escape. There is no way we can keep this up. Actually, I probably can for a long time. Divine energy and all. Gives amazing stamina. It is doubtful how long my companions can keep going.

The skeletons are pretty slow overall, but there is one thing they excel in. They are relentless and tireless. In a short period, we can outrun them easily but in the long term? Doubtful.

Wait...could we perhaps get out of our predicament simply by destroying the moon?!

I remember that one series that had its characters destroy the moon many times over at that. How did it go again? Right, a well-placed Kame-Ah-Me-Something. Fuck there is no way I can do that. Another option would be to get myself a Death Star-Thingy. Also unrealizable.

This is bad. Is our only choice to keep running while hoping for a miracle?

Now I'm having a hard time.

Before I was just checking the main group, but now I need to carefully check all the surroundings. If we get delayed by a medium-sized group, we'll be in trouble.

Fuck, I already want to lay down and sleep. This technique is useful and all, but it's mentally burdening.

It's like getting a job as a security guard. At first, they give you one camera to watch and everything works perfectly. You even have the attention to spare to play mobile games or read web novels at work.

Then one day the boss pulls you aside and tells you he's gonna slightly up the workload. You come in as usual and you see thousands and thousands of monitors to watch. So many you gotta run from one to another to make it.

You could totally do it, but it's so tiring that you decide to quit the next day.

Right now I'm in a similar situation but quitting means death.

This whole thing is a huge pain in the ass!

"What the fuck is that?!"

Oh god, I was so focused on seeing the enemies that I missed something so obvious. But seriously what is that in front?!

Oh no, this is bad! This is totally a dead end!

Is it me or I'm saying this a lot these days?!
