[The female lead is a pure-hate warrior / loves the undead, skeletons, and the like / feels nothing for humans]
Yin Yange, the Archmage of the Undead who brought about an undead apocalypse, was reborn.
She died in an explosion during an experiment with an undead formation. When she awoke, she found herself in another person in another world: an apocalyptic drifter who had frozen to death during a severe cold spell.
The drifter had never set foot beyond the walls. During this cold spell, she had taken shelter in a cave, where she found a fleshy orb about the size of a person. It might have been the young of some kind of monster, but with the bitter cold threatening her life, she could only use the orb to keep warm. In the end, though, she still died of the cold.
The noble Archmage of the Undead calmly accepted reality and immediately began planning how to build an undead empire in this other world.
Just then, the fleshy orb hatched.
[What does the destruction of the world and the extinction of humanity have to do with her? She doesn't even like humans. She only likes beautiful skeletons and shimmering souls.]
[A new empire that saves the world? Isn't that just an assembly line for her collectibles, plus a display case?]
This world had no dragons, so the monster before her seemed to be a rare creature in this realm. Although it had a human form, that wasn't entirely intolerable. Yin Yange gazed indifferently at the clingy creature following her like a puppy and mercifully held out a fingertip. "Sign a blood contract. Offer me your body and soul after your death, and I will protect you as you grow."
As the story was passed down through the generations, her kind came to be known as powerful monsters beyond the quarantine zone.
But in this era, it seemed the real monster was someone else.
You mean that if I'm willing to offer my body and soul to that being after I die, I'll get a safe place to live, three regular meals a day, and a stable job with no danger at all?
Are you saying that... if I do well enough, even if I die by accident, I can turn into a skeleton and keep living?
Sorry, I didn't catch that. What was this empire called again? You know, I've been a devoted follower of the undead since the day I was born! Praise the great God of the Undead. I offer everything I have to Lady Yin Yange!
