The God of Death Abaddon manifested in the castle of the Undead King Arthur. He gazed at all the undead kneeling before him that is praying with reverence. He felt all their prayers and worship for him as he cast a magic circle that covered the whole land they were in or rather the whole world they are in.
The whole world came to a standstill as the God Abaddon used his power to influence the land. This is the first step in forming a covenant. It is very difficult to form a covenant if you do not have three things which are land, faith, and a soul.
You need land because a covenant must be performed inside a sacred ground without anyone interrupting. The land must also be pure or has no prior influence of other gods which is one of the reasons that covenants are difficult to do.
Faith is needed to solidify the bond between both parties. Faith is what binds the two parties together as a covenant is not something to be taken lightly. Just the mere thought of deception will break the covenant but that only applies to the original parties. If a covenant is easily broken then all the other churches would have failed by now.
Last but not least is that the two parties or at least one of them needs a soul. The covenant must have something like a binding contract and that is where the soul is needed. Some would say that undead do not have souls but that is not true as everything has souls even inanimate objects. Some are just harder to bring out than others.
“I, the God of Death Abaddon, swear upon my godly essence to always and forever protect the subjects of the Undead King Arthur. In exchange, the Undead King Arthur and all his retainers shall swear their fealty and faith to me. I promise to you my loyal followers life eternal but also eternal peace if you so wish.” The God of Death Abaddon spoke and all the undead heard clearly.
The sword of the God of Death then formed into a chain that bound the soul of the Undead King to the former. The Undead King then stated his part of the pact.
“I, the Undead King Arthur, will solemnly swear that I and my retainers will be faithful to the God of Death else our souls be swallowed by the void. As long as the God of Death never abandons me or my retainers, we shall be his sword and shield in the battlefield.” The Undead King Arthur stated.
A sound reverberated to all of the worlds. All the universe rather. The sound is something like the click of a lock. Some who heard it thought it was just something their mind made them hear but those who have lived long and knows history know better.
The thing on the old power’s mind is that a new superpower will soon surface but they do not know where. The sound is spread throughout the universe so they will not be able to pinpoint it but one thing they are sure is that a covenant was made.
Those who are related to good wished that it would either be benevolent or neutral while those aligned with evil wished that it would not get in their way. Though one thing they are sure of is that they need to watch out for this rising superpower.
The players also heard this sound but it was followed by a system prompt bell so they did not hear it clearly.
[The Undead King has opened his doors to all those who want to swear allegiance to him.]
[Players can now join the faction of the Undead King’s faction via the character creation interface.]
[Those who have want to be part of the Undead King’s faction that already has a character above level ten will be given the choice to convert into an undead via a special mission that will be given to all players.]
[The special mission is only valid for a week. Accounts still in the starting village ‘Genesis’ can freely change into an undead for a week.]
[The game will undergo maintenance for ten hours in preparation for this event. All players are expected to log out in five minutes.]
[Those in dungeons or forging will have a save ticket available to them. Thank you for your consideration.] .𝒎
After the covenant was sealed, the God of Death Abaddon bid farewell to the undead. He just stated that they are now his vassals and that he would guide them whenever their path becomes astray. It has been centuries since the God of Death himself led a faction and it would surely change the ways of the world as there is nothing mightier than a true undying army.

[The God of Death has ascended back to the godly plane. Your soul shall return to your body in ten seconds.]
“It seems that our conversation will have to end here now, Goddess Nox. Thank you for keeping me company.” Adrian stated.
“I should thank you because it is always lonely here. Also, do not show mercy to my former envoy as that is no longer human. Envoys who break their vows either turn into monsters or their existence erased.” The Goddess Nox replied as she saw Adrian’s body disappearing from the Nether Realm.
“It seems that he is too connected to this realm than I expected. His soul was not even damaged despite coming close to the depths of the Nether Realm. He is lucky that I found him before he plunged into an eternal abyss.” The Goddess Nox stated as she once again started to wander off searching for wayward souls to help in the nether realm.

Adrian’s soul returned back to his body but the integrity of his body is at a mere 5%. Just about a minute or a few seconds more then he might have died. Still though he noticed that the undead around him now have different auras than before. They no longer stink of corrupted undead energy.
“It seems that the God of Death changed their internal energies.” Adrian thought as he looked at all the system notifications and the rewards that he got.
