L28. Haunting

Item : Book: Tales of the Night Sprites

(You will never forget the strange expression on the Quill Book Merchant's face as you started taking the book you paid a lot more money than you would normally pay)

The book merchant suddenly grabs you by the wrist.

"Take this book if you must. But remember! Do not open the last page of this book." He warns you in a serious and solemn tone.

(The warning of the book merchant makes you even more curious. You immediately turn to the first page after you leave.)

The nights have been dark and stormy lately.

Perfect for some scary stories.

Let's talk about the undead!

Have you seen those skeletons in the Meteorite Crater on Belcar Plateau? I think they will make an excellent introduction to the undead for you.

In the general understanding, if the soul has a deep attachment to the world after death, it will not be able to go to its final resting place and will linger in the human world.

They may appear in the form of spirits or attached to corpses, usually those who died with strong negative emotions have a higher possibility of becoming undead.

The reason why people fear undead is mainly because their appearance is usually not pleasing and they possess strong aggression.

So why do undead attack humans? If we can obtain the remains that undead are attached to, we should be able to observe some clues!

Item : Book: Tales of the Night Sprites

There may be some kind of strange power in the meteor that re-animates the remains of the dead, but this only explains why those skeletons are up and walking about.

What it doesn't explain is their aggression. Minerals don't think, so theoretically it couldn't make skeletons attack people.

(You start to think that this book may only be the product of someone with too much time on their hands who decided one day to write something crazy. You wonder why you bought this book.)
