It wasn't until humanity entered the interstellar age that people confirmed humans were not the only species in the universe.
The first race they discovered was named the Undead.
They looked similar to humans, but their true forms consisted of all kinds of carbon-based skeletons. They even had magic, making them seem just like the undead of legend.
But not every species in space was peaceful. There were also aggressive invaders.
After Connie Lia's parents went off to war, she lived with her older brother.
From a young age, Connie Lia had decided to become a warrior as powerful as her mother and drive every invader out of their star system.
When she first started studying at the academy, Connie Lia met two friends.
Doris was a little glutton, and the two of them shared the same interests.
Dan was a shy panda undead who would surely become a great healer one day.
When she first joined the legion, Connie Lia followed in her parents' footsteps and met some dependable friends along the way.
The taciturn lone-wolf undead was a big fellow who knew how to use metal.
The marshal from the human faction was so nice. He really taught her how to use human weapons.
She wouldn't let him teach her for nothing. She'd take care of repairing the human weapons for the next month.
Even the forceful prince had come to the battlefield. It looked like the war would be over soon.
The war ended, but Connie Lia lost her beautiful appearance and some of her magical circuits.
None of that mattered. What drove her to despair was that her parents had been killed.
But the death notice was strange in every way. Connie Lia looked behind her at the people gathered around her. One of them had killed her parents.
Who was it?
