Chapter 2: Undead Lord **WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT** **Welcome, players, to the Universal Lords game!** **Universal Lords is a hyper-realistic game developed by the gods themselves, combining management, strategy, and warfare.** **In Universal Lords, every player is a lord, with their own territory and castle.** **Every lord will receive the loyalty of a troop type at the beginning of the game.** **The specific initial troop type will be randomly drawn by each lord.** **The main goal of the game, in this boundless continent teeming with myriad races, is for each player, as a lord, to embark on the path of conquering the world.** **In Universal Lords, as long as you are smart enough and strong enough, you will have everything!** **Even becoming a god is no longer a pipe dream!** ... Alex slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was an old castle. She was standing right in front of it. "Castle" might be a bit of an overstatement; "tiny castle" would be more accurate. The castle before Alex wasn't big at all. It covered an area of a little over a hundred square meters, about the size of a small villa. Moreover, the castle walls were mottled and worn, looking like they were about to collapse. It made Alex seriously wonder if the whole thing would just crumble overnight. As Alex was mentally roasting her miniature fortress, a translucent screen, looking surprisingly high-tech, popped up in front of her. var adx_id_6327 = document.getElementById('bg-ssp-6327'); adx_id_6327.id = 'bg-ssp-6327-' + Math.floor(Math.random() * Date.now()); window.pubadxtag = window.pubadxtag || []; window.pubadxtag.push({zoneid: 6327, id: adx_id_6327.id, wu: window.location.href}) **[Respected Lord, would you like to draw your initial troop type?

]** **[Yes]** or **[No]** *Initial troop type?

!* Alex instinctively looked at the [Yes] option. Immediately afterward: **[Drawing initial troop type, please wait...]** Staring at the screen, Alex suddenly had second thoughts. "Darn it! I should've played it safe and learned more about the game first!" But, as they say, there's no use crying over spilled milk. In the blink of an eye, the initial troop type draw was complete: **[Respected Lord, congratulations! Your initial troop type is Death Knight...]** **[Beep—!]** **[Detected that the Lord is exceptionally handsome and possesses the bloodline of an ancient god...]** **[Initial troop type undergoing optimization and upgrade...]** **[Ding—!]** **[Respected Lord, congratulations!]** **[You have obtained the Undying Legion's oath of loyalty!]** **[Oath of Loyalty: Other lords will no longer be able to gain the service of the Undying Legion.]** **[You will also receive the "Lich King" inheritance!]** *Huh?

* Alex was genuinely bewildered by the barrage of messages. "I know I'm good-looking, but what's this about an ancient god's bloodline?

" she thought. "My initial troop type went from Death Knight to the entire Undying Legion?

That's an upgrade from a single unit to an entire race! And now only I can command the Undying Legion?

And what's the deal with this Lich King inheritance?
