Just a short while ago, an apprentice scholar had declared that Baron Leech Clarence—the new heir to his late father's castle—had little more than a day to live. Fortunately, the apprentice added, Baron Leech would be able to pass the last moments of his life in a painless coma.
After his passing, Baron Leech's younger brother, Leo Clarence, would inherit the barony and the dilapidated Porcupine Castle. And when Leo, in turn, returned to the embrace of the Four Gods, he would pass the title and fiefdom on to his eldest son, ensuring the Clarence line would continue forever.
That was, of course, assuming Baron Leech actually died.

'So, what is that yellow dot?'
'My golden finger is summoning tombstones? Am I supposed to crush people to death with them?'


This was Leech's first thought. The man had truly been a Caster; his Spiritual Power was far greater than Aina's. Leech made a rough estimate. His own base Spiritual Power was 26 units, while this one's was only slightly weaker, probably around 20 to 25 units.


The Corpse Ghost's memories from its life followed.


He was the illegitimate son of the Bill family of Shanzhang Castle. His father had cared for him enough to send him to the subordinate Marvin Clan, giving him the status of a true noble rather than that of a despised bastard.


Thus, Guy gained a surname of his own: Marvin.
