Azel woke up in a crypt with no memory of who or even what he is. When he encounters a rather unfriendly duo he discovers that his true nature is that of a ticking time bomb.

Desperate to maintain his humanity, Azel agrees to accompany the two to a civilisation that actively despises his nature. And it certainly doesn't help when he finds himself in the middle of a power struggle between individuals he can't even fathom.

A Zombie's Path to Power

Azel dropped to the floor, attempting to swipe Colwyn's legs from under him. The knight merely slammed his mana blade into the earth, stopping the undead squire's sweep with a satisfying crunch. In response, the zombie merely kicked off with his good leg to create some space between him and his mentor.

It had been a while since he had sparred Colwyn, the opportunity was rather rare considering that they were almost constantly moving south. Even though the group didn't know the exact location of Draken loch, they knew it was at the very bottom of the map, and could therefore travel in the rough direction.

Shaking off the faint tingling sensation in his shin, Azel nodded with satisfaction as the bone mended the fracture instantly, before rushing in again. Despite his fearsome title, Colwyn was predominantly a defensive fighter, preferring to wait for his opponent to make the first move and then react accordingly, so Azel had gotten used to taking the initiative.
