《One Punch Man: The Necromancer》 Chapter 1 - Prologue This story starts in a certain city called Z-City, more specifically in an area called the Ghost Town. As indicated by it''s name, the streets were devoid of any life, if not for a bald man walking towards an apartment building. This bald man was wearing a plain yellow one-piece jumpsuit with a short zipper at the collar, along with a black belt with a round golden buckle at the center, and a long white cape. He also had long red gloves, but what was most shocking about his appearence was the blue liquid running on his suit and on his face. "*Sigh* I didn''t even have the time to go to the supermarket. Ahh! To think i missed the sales!" Exclaimed the man. He continued to walk until he reached the apartment building, he then went to his own apartment and entered before jumping on his couch. He seemed to hesitate whether to eat or watch television but shook his head and picked the remote. He grabbed a water bottle and started to drink before he spat everything when he saw what was on tv. "A-Again?!!" He clenched his teeth, threw the bottle away and quickly exited his apartment. As soon as he did that, a powerful wing hit him, making his cape float while his expression went from bored to serious. "This time i hope it won''t end in one punch again." And with that, he disappeared. **************************************** ( Hero Association HQ) In the Hero Association meeting room, several staff members were discussing about the newest threat that appeared a few hours ago. "This mysterious defeated both Lightning Max and Stinger before moving towards Z-City. As such Child Emperor and Metal Bat, who were the closest to Z-City, were sent to defeat it." Said the Minister Officer of Justice for the Hero Association, Sitch. All around the table, the other staff members snorted while one of them, a fat man who seemed to always be sweating, decided to voice everyone''s thoughts. "Surely this is too much. Lightning Max and Stinger may be A-Class Heroes but they are starting to show disappointing results, it is not surprising that this mysterious being defeated them both. However sending Metal Bat AND Child Emperor a little bit too much, don''t you think so Sitch ?" Asked the man as he wiped the sweat he had on his forehead with an already drenched handkerchief. Sitch bristled with anger but took deep breaths and glared at the man. "They are already on their ways. Telling them to come back would be incredibly useless. If this threat is weaker than we think it is, then they will be back quickly." Said Sitch, before standing up and walking out of the room. As he walked out, he missed the worried glances that the staff members sent to each other. "Don''t you think this is weird that everytime one of those powerful monsters appears, it always goes to Z-City ?" Asked the same fat man, he was the only one who didn''t seem too stressed out by this. "Indeed. It seems that ''HE'' still reside there." Said another member. "Did we send him another invitation ?" Asked one of the only female staff member. "We did.....And once again, he nearly killed the person that we sent. I don''t think it''s wise to send anymore invitation to him. Even if he''s not a pro Hero, he still help us more than all those lazy and useless fake Heroes." Said the fat man. "Are you joking Tanuki ? What about Tatsumaki, King and Blast ? They all are more powerful than him and save way more lives. " Said the woman who talked just a few seconds ago. "And don''t even bring the fact that ''HE'' and Blast are friends. It never mattered. Blast doesn''t count, atleast for now." Said Tanuki, and this time he left his seat and exited the room. He stopped just in front of the door, looking at a screen that displayed the mysterious being that Metal Bat and Child Emperor were to defeat. A muscular man dressed in a black suit, who was wearing white fingerless gloves and who had the head of a goat. [ Dragon Class Threat (Potentially higher): Black Goat ] ************************************ (On a building in the Ghost Town) The bald man from before was standing on the roof of a building searching for the monster he was supposed to beat. He finally found him, and he looked really weird. "Searching for me perhaps ?" Asked a voice coming from behind him. The bald man turned around and was shocked to find the man with the Goat head standing right in front of him. "Don''t look so shocked. I''m afterall, known for my incredible speed." Said the man, his voice sounding more human than the bald man thought it would. Before said man could open his mouth, a punch found it''s way to his abdomen. What truly shocked the bald man was the fact that contrarily to usual, he actually felt it. It didn''t hurt, but it did feel like a punch. The bald man smirked in excitement and clenched his fists. "It''s gonna be good." Said the man. "May i know your name ?" He asked. "I''m Saitama! I''m a guy who plays Hero for fun." Said the bald man, smiling widely as he felt his blood boil. He could feel tremendous power coming from the man with the Goat head. "And i''m Black Goat. I do hope you''ll offer me more resistance than those heroes i defeated in an instant." Both fighters took their stances, though Saitama just tried to look cool. They were about to attack when a blade pierced Black Goat''s throat. Before Saitama could move an ominous voice spoke. "Well hello gentlemen. I''m The Necromancer, and require your corpse Black Goat....So quickly turn into one please." Chapter 2 - 1 (Under Z-City, unknown location) There were many things under Z-City. The Ghost Town had become home to hundreds of monsters that lived under the actual city, hiding from Heroes. But there was also laboratories, dozens of them. Not a single monster ever entered those laboratories, yet all the monsters of the area of their existences. Every once in a while a strong monster would try to attack them, but sadly (or not) none of the monsters who had tried, ever returned. In one of those laboratories, a figure was sitting on a chair, looking at a computer that displayed data, while a corpse was laid on a table. It look Human but had purple skin and two antenna on it''s forehead. It also had a massive hole where it''s heart should be, and multiples scars across his body. "Hmmm....Look like i won''t be able to use all of his abilities. I should probably wait until i can fix his entire body. It should take....Hmmm.....Two or three months." Said the figure, who was obviously a man due to his voice. He grabbed a recorder and pressed a bu??on. "Entry number 130: After the fight with the three Dragon Threat monsters, a quarter of the "Army" was lost. It should take a year to go back to the previous number of "Soldiers" but i will be able to do it. I still don''t know why i''am even creating an army, but it''s quite funny now that i''am really in it. I got a new corpse, a good specimen but it will take time to fully fix him and then use my powers on him.............Uhhhh.......I should probably go to a supermarket and buy some supplies.....Yup, sounds like a good idea. Plus some sunlight would do me a lot of good......I look like a damn vampire with that pale skin of mine...... Embrio, end of the recording."Said the man now identified as Embrio. A few minutes later, he was already at the surface, walking along the street. He was dressed quite weirdly which is why he stood out from the crowd. He was wearing a black robe with golden lines that formed a rose on his back and a skull on his ?h?st, he also had multiple rings on his fingers and had a black facemask that hid his mouth and nose. He arrived at the market district and heard something that surprised him. "Hey, did you hear ? Some people says that the Dragon Threat Mysterious being that beat Lightning Max and Stinger is coming to Z-City." Said a passerby to his friend. "Nah, can''t be. I don''t see why a monster would come here." Responded the friend. ".........Oh i do see why a monster would come here." Said Embrio darkly. He quickly made his way to a dimly lit alley, and in a show of incredible physical abilities jumped in the air so high he landed directly on the roof of the building to his left. "Well i do hope it''s gonna be a good corpse." ************************************************* (A few minutes later) Embrio had pierced Black Goat''s throat with a hidden sleeve blade. He was holding Black Goat''s by the neck, looking at Saitama who didn''t know how to react, but finally did react when he heard Black Goat''s gurgling noises. "H-Hey! Dude ya can''t stab people like that! Plus i was going to fight him! And who are you anyway?!" Asked Saitama, sounding both excited and worried. He was getting quite a bad vibe from Embrio who was dressed like some religious fanatical. "Saitama....Is it ? The man who plays hero for fun and saved a certain kid with a weird chin years ago ?" Asked Embrio, shocking Saitama. "H-How do you know ?!" "Well you might not know, but many people are aware of your actions. Some like the Hero Association''s staff members don''t do anything because they simply don''t know how to approach you, since you live in the same city as me and as such might be friend with me. Others like powerful monsters just don''t act because they think you are beneath them. By the way, i watched you for quite some time, impressive abilities you have that''s sure." Said Embrio smirking behind his facemask. "Huh....Okaaaaay........I mean i don''t really care, but what am i supposed to do know ? I mean since you kinda killed him....Well......" Said Saitama, not knowing whether to look at Black Goat or Embrio.......Both looked quite creepy, even though it wasn''t Black Goat fault since he kinda was dying. "You talked about some Hero ?ssociation...What''s that ?" ".......I wonder if you do actually have internet and television, but well. It''s an organization that recruit Heroes, "train" them or atleast them become better, and pay them to save people and beat monsters. Actually they usually pay more for killing monsters than saving people, and most "Heroes" are heroes just because they want the glory or the money, which isn''t a really bad motivation. You should join. They will certainly take you for a weakling or a dumbass and give you a crappy rank, but atleast you''ll be official and get some money." Said Embrio, before disappearing in a cloud of black miasma. Saitama didn''t move for a few seconds before his eyes widened and he brought his hands to his cheeks, making a shocked expression. "...........He never told me anything about rankings!!!!!" Chapter 3 - 2 (Laboratory under Z-City) Screams echoed throughtout the entire laboratory. With blood splattering the white walls and bodies chained , the laboratory looked like some sort of hellish prison. At the center of a room filled with corpses of various species, Embrio stood as he examined something that looked like a goat''s horn. He picked a set of various weapons and tried to destroy, but to no avail. He then tried to pierce his own arm with it, but it just grazed it. He smirked and threw the horn in a pile of materials that he took from the multiple corpses that littered the room. "Well looks like it''s my lucky day. I keep founding interesting monsters with little to no effort. Saitama might be the cause if the rumors are anything to go by. I should check if the rumors are actually about him, though it''s quite funny that all those monsters keep coming here to challenge someone that might not actually exist." Said Embrio. He walked along a dark corridor and reached a metal door that had multiple locks. He opened the door to a gigantic room, so dark that nothing could be seen. Only the sound of ragged breathing could be heard. Embrio stepped inside and walked toward a light switch. Pressing it, the entire room was illuminated, showing what it contained. Embrio smiled widely and started to count in his head. "So many....I might finally have my army sooner than i thought. Now i just need to prepare myself for the future God Threat that will appear. And maybe, just maybe see with Blast if i should help the heroes." Said Embrio, and with that he pressed the interrupter again and exited the room. ************************************* (Hero Assocation HQ) "The Dragon Threat destroyed half of D-City!!!" A woman shouted to her superior who clenched his teeth and picked up his phone. He typed a number and waited for the person to pick up. "How are things going ? Who is going towards the threat ?.........What ?! What do you mean only B-Class heroes are ready to help ?! Where are the others ?!....No, no. Don''t call Tatsumaki, it''s too dangerous to have her fight this giant. Send a message to Bang and Atomic Samurai, see if they are near B-City." Said the man and hung up. He turned to his ?ssistant and motioned for her to come . "The Giant seems to not have any particular target. See if we can have a few heroes distract him and get him to go towards Z-City."Said the man, his ?ssistant nodded and departed while the other staff members seemed to have calmed down. "Sir! An unknown man has appeared on the giant''s shoulder!" "What?! Who''s that ?!" Yelled the man. He checked one of the screens and saw that a camera had spotted a man in a yellow jumpsuit standing on the giant''s shoulder. "What should we do, sir ?! Could that man be an ?ssociate of the giant ?!" "............For now we stick to how we usually do. Wait for the heroes to intervene. Send as many A-Class Heroes as possible, and i don''t care if they have other things to do. This threat could end up doing a lot more damage then it should."The man said, and just a second after his phone rang. "Yes, what is it? Wait.........Blast ?" *************************************** The Ghost town was home to a plethora of monsters, this place was famous for being a true nest of the worst monsters. However it was known that something much more terrifying lived there. No matter if you were a human or a mysterious being, there were some places that should always be avoided. Yet this particular day, a group of monsters decided to ignore that, or maybe they just didn''t know. They were quite weird, looking like giant and human version of sea creatures. Some were octopus while others looked like sharks. They were currently walking toward an abandoned hospital that was said to be one of the places that monsters never dared to approach. "I don''t understand why there are no humans here. Could it be possible that some of us decided to attack first ? " Asked one of them. "Nah, no one would''ve disobeyed the Deep Sea King." Answered the one to his right. "Well, we all know some Seafolk are stupid enough to defy him." Said the one to his left. "Whatever, we will eventually fi-" Said one of them, but couldn''t finish. The others stopped when they heard a loud crash and looked at where he was supposed to be, but saw that he now was encased in a building and sported a massive hole in his ?h?st. "Wha-" The one who talked first tried to say something but was stopped by a black blur that passed right through his head. "THE FUCK IS GOING ON ?! WHO''S DOING THAT?! SHOW YOURSELF COWARD!!!" Shouted one of the Seafolk. "Well, i could kill all of you without even having to talk, but i still need some informations." Said a cloaked figure that appeared on the Seafolk''s head. "I don''t know if you can actually call me a human, but well........I don''t think you even care." Said the man, before suddenly rushing at the Seafolk that stood behind him. The man jumped in the air, landing on the Seafolk''s face, and in a quick motion sticked a dagger in the Seafolk''s eyes. "ARGHH!!!!" The man then appeared on a building next to the Seafolk that previously yelled at him and just stood there, while said Seafolk looked at his friend, horrified to see that his face was rapidly decaying. "Don''t stay there looking all surprised dumbass." Said the man, who was now standing in front of the Seafolk. "W-Who the hell are you?!" Asked the terrified seafolk. "Doesn''t matter. But if you want to live, you''re gonna have to answer some of my questions." Said the man. The Seafolk looked like he was about to attack him, but froze when he saw that a dark miasma of death was oozing from the man. "Let''s start with a simple one.............Do you want to become an undead ?"
