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

Chapter 1187: Nightmare Apocalypse World



As Eustace revealed this to us, the system suddenly feed us with more context, thankfully the tower wasn't merciless enough to leave us to figure everything out within a damn week.

[Welcome to the {Floor 49 Trial: High School Magic Battle Fantasy}!]

[A world that interweaves magic and special powers with modernity and daily life, this is the world of Azure Star, very similar to Earth, it is a world divided in many countries, and you've landed directly in Battle Academy City, situated all the way in the middle of the artificial island of Azure Bridge, where students from all over the world gather to learn how to use their special magic abilities to battle the ever growing threat of the {Fragmented Nightmare Worlds} born from human's nightmares and negative emotions.]

[You and your Party have been Transmigrated as the Academy's top students, youngsters gifted with incredible abilities, and it is now your chance to show off all the amazing powers you've cultivated in another worlds and surprise your peers! Complete the Tasks given within the seven days to pass the Trial and move on to Floor 48's Trial.]

[Be careful though! This world is nothing but a {Apocalypse World} that once belonged to the Tower but was destroyed by something that happened within this very city! Will you be able to find out what? And does that even matter to you?]

[Maybe the Hidden Tasks have something to do with that? Oops! I've talked too much now. Have fun in this brief yet entertaining school life you wish you had before!]

[Time Limit: 7 Days]

[If you cannot complete the tasks within 7 days, the Trial will be reset back to the first day until you can complete it, or all of the party members die.]

Wait, what?!

Hold on a second, this is too much to swallow!

Apocalypse World?!

So this world was destroyed, and now the tower trial somehow brought it back?

How does that even works? Did it rewind time or recreated it out of "Records" from that world?

Well, can't really find out what happened here unless we get moving.

"So that's what it is..." said Lucifer. "A world that was destroyed, so its not a dream or an illusion."

"Indeed..." Emeraldine nodded. "How troublesome... Though, slightly interesting!" She seemed rather enthusiastic.

"But its weird, why does it reset?" asked Partner. "Wait, are we trapped in here until we complete this trial?"

"T-That seems a bit complicated!" Nia muttered. "But um, I will do my best to help! Uh, I am still a bit confused... these uniforms and clothes are so strange, this is truly an alien world, huh?"

"Mama, I like it!" said Celes. "Oh, look, my staff appears and disappears!"

Celes began summoning and unsummoning his weapon at will, but then...

"Ugh..." he suddenly fell to his knees.

"C-Celes?!" Nia gasped, as I ran to his side.

"Are you okay?" I asked. "There!"

I used [Paladin's Life Sacrifice] to give him my life and heal his sudden exhaustion, he felt better afterwards, but still dizzy.

"I-I think I spent all my Mana..." he sighed. "Oof..."

"So that's it?" wondered Emeraldine. "I see, summoning and unsummoning a weapon costs a large quantity of Mana... I think it might be connected to this world's powers or something, which we've also received."

"How odd..." Lucifer sighed. "Is the boy fine then?"

"Are you?!" Nyx asked Celes.

"I-I'm fine, hehe, a bit tired, that's all!" Celes smiled cutely.

His three Water Fairies, the Nymphs appeared around him worriedly checking on him, and then helped him quickly recover his mana again.

"Don't be reckless, master!"

"Please be more careful young master..."

"Little Celes, don't spend your mana so recklessly."

"Sorry..." Celes sighed. "Um, so what do we do now?"

"Hmm..."

I was still trying to figure things out, even after being told we were top students of this big academy of magic battles or whatever, it was still pretty confusing.

But if this a living, breathing world that somehow got revived just for this trial, then we have to take things more seriously, if possible.

I thought Trials were like just small little challenges in between worlds, but I simply had no idea they could be just actual worlds themselves!

But... let's calm down.

RIIINNNG!

Suddenly, the school bell started sounding very loudly, it meant that today's classes finally began.

"Ugh, what's that loud sound? So annoying!" Partner complained.

"That's the school bell alarm," I explained. "It means that we have to go to classes now. If we're in this setting as students, it would be better to meld together with the environment as

we figure it out."

"But what are our classes though? We didn't even get that information-"

FLASH!

Suddenly, a golden card appeared in front of my face.

"What?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

I grabbed the floating card, reading what it said.

<Character Card: Academy Exchange Student>

Student Name: [Maria Belles]

Description:

Within the {Floor 49 Trial: High School Magic Battle Fantasy}, everyone takes a role in the academy. Right now, you're the popular exchange student [Maria Belles], a calm and

composed beauty with mysterious powers over Death Magic.

You belong to Class 1B, and you are working diligently to make friends, despite your gloomy and silent attitude. Right now, you've made a couple of friends, and you've grown rather attached to the other top students, who share with you the burden of strength.

Several boys have crushes on you and will constantly confess to you, and your powers also attract the interest of Nightmares, the monstrous inhabitants of the Fragmented Nightmare

Realms.

What with that Personality?!

"Can everyone read this?" I asked. "Nyx we taught you how to read, right? Celes can read too,

right? What about Arachne?"

"I can read! It says I belong to Class 3B..." Celes said.

"Hey! Why are you not on your classes already? I know you are top students here, but that

doesn't excuse you from skipping classes, youngsters."

Suddenly, a tall and muscular man with short white hair and beard appeared, glaring down at

us with his big blue eyes, crossing his arms.

Ding! [Warning! You have been spotted by a professor! Professor and other figures of authority can

halt your progress in the trial, be careful!]

[A {Figure of Authority} has set their eyes on you. While you're below his {Authority Gaze}, all

Stats and Abilities Power decreases by 90%]

Huh...
