Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

-----

Reforestation was the act of planting tress where they were once cut or damaged. It is a practice done most of the time back on Earth. So forests simply don't just disappear, workers plant trees, most of the time already grown seedlings into the ground where other bigger ones were cut. Progressively they cut trees only to add more saplings. This way there's a constant cycle and the forests never truly disappear.

With the help of Emeraldine, we enchanted the tree seeds we found from within these very trees and I sent my Phantom Familiars to plant them all around the forest. With that done, the forest quickly began to gain several saplings, which began growing rather rapidly.

"I guess you actually had a plan, you scared us a lot back then… Also you're not chopping more?" Wondered Brunhild.

"Of course not sister-in-law! I know this forest is beautiful, we'll keep most of it." I said with a smile. "If those dwarves complain then they can just swallow a bitter bug, I am not giving them shit!"

"Well said." Said Emeraldine.

"I guess this is pretty smart. If we plant saplings and enchant them with the magic and powers you possess, they will grow faster. We can have a big supply of wood not only for us, but we can also sell it. This wood's soft so it is malleable, but it is also very resistant to humidity and hard once it dries out." Lucifer analyzed the wood. "It'll be perfect to sell and transport across long distances."

"Wow you really know a lot!" I said while rubbing my chin. "You don't happen to have the Lumberjack Skill?"

"I do…" Said Lucifer. "I just realized I have it. I think I got it from my previous life. I've begun to gain Title Skills and normal Skills out of the blue more commonly now…" My dragon husband said. "I remember I had burned and cut down many trees in the past."

"Eeeh?! So you're regaining your previous life powers?! That's unfair!" I proclaimed.

"Well, it kind of is. I don't know why though…" Lucifer looked at little Nyx in his arms. "Maybe my daughter awakened something within me."

"Interesting… This world's Soul Books are really quite an intriguing thing to learn about all the time." Said Lucifer.

"Anyways! I am kind of starving. So we are here only to cut trees?" Partner quickly interrupted our conversation.

"Not only that honey. Have more patience. Here." I quickly gave Partner a bottle with fresh and sweet blood.

"Oohh!" Her red eyes quickly shone brightly, as she grabbed the Blood Potion I made for her and she drank it all in a few seconds. "So good! Human's blood is the best! Even those nasty bandits, hahaha!"

"Yeah, that's a Vampire for you." I sighed. "Alright, let's go."

We walked down to the third and last floor, as we were greeted by an enormous and expansive cave filled with colorful crystals, stones, and rare ores growing here and there.

And of course, an enormous army of Abyssal Ants and commanding them was Lancelot, the Abyssal Ant Knight I had risen as an undead a week ago!

"Milady, you're finally back. We have been training with the squad awaiting your come back. We have also cleansed a large quantity of the miasma left behind, and look, we've mined you a lot of resources in the meantime!" Lancelot immediately showed me a gigantic pile of ores, crystals, and metals he and the ants had mined through the entire week! It was so much it filled an entire small cave!

"W-Woah!" I cried in surprise. "You guys have really exceeded yourselves this time! Well done! This is amazing! We've got tons of ores now! But we'll still mine our own. The materials in this dungeon are of way lower quality than the outside world. Nonetheless, we can still use them for a lot of things. Especially to reinforce our walls, build fortresses, and make those barrier devices, which will need hundreds of ores." I said with a smile. "Have you happened to find any Barrier Stone?"

"Barrier Stone?" Wondered Lancelot, quickly browsing his mind and then looking at the pile, his antennas moved around rapidly. "Oh, no. Sadly there are only the most basic of magic metals and magic spirit stones here. Earth Topaz, Flare Ruby, Wind Emerald, amongst others. But Barrier Stones seem to be of a higher grade and quality, I am afraid."

"Dang it… Well that's fine! Well done you guys! You make your mother proud." I praised all the ants as they cheered happily by clicking their jaws around. "Have you found any monsters?"

"No, the monsters have stopped emerging altogether, but we have detected that the Dungeon Core has been accumulating a large quantity of mana, if its not used monsters might emerge at the end. The Ants reproduced differently, so the monsters of this cave will emerge, the ants said they are different looking. Mostly reptilian, they eat the ores and crystals that regrow slowly and naturally here, they might become a menace for our resource gathering." Sighed Lancelot.

"Fear not! We've got yourselves the perfect training regime!" I said happily.

"Training… regime?" Wondered everyone behind me.

"Fufu, what did you honestly expected? This dungeon is naturally of B Rank in difficulty! Meaning monsters are big and give juicy EXP unlike Affnaria. And we can come here any time without being noticed or scorned about it! We are going to train to get strong enough to go to the Miasmic Dungeon sealed in the Dwarven country! Now our training montage starts, you guys! Let's do it!"

It was time to grind some levels!

"Grind some levels?" Asked Lucifer. "I guess… I had not thought about it. However, I had originally believed this dungeon was weakened upon conquering it."

"Yeah, didn't that happened to the other one?" Asked Emeraldine.

"Let me explain to you, my dears." I said while suddenly changing my clothes into those of a teacher. At the same time, I summoned a board from my Inventory and began drawing over it, showing two dungeons.
