Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

As Karyk sat on the beach, contemplating his memories and the unanswered questions that plagued his mind, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The pieces of the puzzle didn't quite fit together, and he couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to the story than what he remembered. He could also feel that it was something important that he shouldn't have forgotten. He stood up and tried opening the entrance of his shadow realm where he was keeping all his other items.That was also where he kept some food. He usually didn't feel hungry, but in this place, he was starting to feel the hunger. It was a hunger that he hadn't felt for a long time. "I can't open it. Strange."

He tried again, but no matter how many times he tried, he wasn't able to open the entrance to his shadow realm. As he was struggling to open his shadow realm, another memory flashed before his eyes. It was a memory from his battle. He remembered opening the shadow realm entrance there. But he still couldn't remember what happened after that. "Did he do something to seal it?"

He tried something else. He tried using his abilities in other ways, like creating a new robe for himself. But even that didn't work. He wasn't able to use any of his abilities on this island. He did not feel anything wrong with his body. He was clear that his abilities weren't sealed. But he still couldn't use it here. There was something in this place which was stopping him. "Is this also the reason these wounds haven't healed? Or that's something entirely different?"

He tried testing if this island only affected his elemental abilities or his physical abilities as well. He tried to use his physical strength. In the past, even without using anything extraordinary, he could still do push ups with just a finger. This time, he was not able to do it. It took a lot more effort to even do it with one hand. His physical strength was also restricted here. "I suppose I can't even fly here."

He was thinking about opening a portal back to their universe, if possible. But let alone opening a portal through the spatial barriers, he could not even fly. It was impossible for him to leave this place. "It seems like I was thrown into a place that is the worst for me. But I cannot waste too much time here. I have to leave this place!"

He looked at the vast sea, which appeared to have no end. He could make a boat and try to leave this island, but there was no guarantee if his abilities were going to work on the sea. On the contrary, if he failed to find another Island in the sea, he could suffer for a long time, especially with this hunger. He was thinking about his next course of action when his stomach started growling. "First, I need to have something to eat."

He looked at the forest behind him. On one side, there was sea. And on the other, there were depths of the forest. He could see two options before him. First was trying to catch fish in the sea, and the other was to find some fruit in the forest. "Forest it is."

He tossed off the remnants of his torn robe before walking towards the forest. "If it is an island, there could be people living here. If I can find even one person who can understand me, I might be able to learn more about this place."

"But if I come across a beast in the forest... Can I still kill one?"

He could not bring out any weapons. He could not use his aura either. At that moment, he had only his bare hands without any extraordinary strength. With a strong mentality, he decided to take the risk. Before entering the forest, he broke off a sharp branch from the trees. He used stones and other tree branches to sharpen the edge of the tree branch, making it a spear. "To think that I would be using such primitive tools."

He held the wooden spear in his hand, preparing to enter the forest. "Oh? It seems you are up. I am sorry for not meeting you earlier."

A voice came from the direction of the sea, shocking Karyk. He turned around, pointing his spear in the direction of the voice.

"There is no one here?" He looked all over the beach, but he could not find anyone there. The beach was completely empty at the moment. "That definitely wasn't my misconception."

He was certain that he heard the voice. That only meant someone was hiding from him. "Are you going to show yourself?" asked Karyk, stepping towards the sea and away from the forest. "I am here."

The voice came again, this time he clearly saw something odd. There was definitely no one on the beach, but in the sea, he saw the surface of water rising. A creature that looked like a whale came to sight, a large amount of water sliding off its majestic skin as it breached the surface. "You were the one speaking?"

Karyk wasn't shocked to find a whale speaking. He had already known about a few beasts that had awakened divinity even in his own universe. But it was still surprising as this wasn't his universe. In this world, even he couldn't use much of his abilities, but there were still creatures like that. "You said you were sorry to not meet me earlier? How do you know me?" Karyk asked, trying to see if this thing was a friend or an enemy. Even if it was an enemy, he knew that he wasn't able to kill a creature like this in his current condition. This whole thing was very strange for him. "I don't know you. But I did find you when you fell from the sky, directly into the ocean. I brought you to the surface so you do not drown."

"It was the first time I've seen someone fall from the sky. Are you the child of heaven?"
