## Birth

### From a rat to human bones

A male rat, which later became the core of Bone Man, had children with a female rat in or near Evbejia, but the entire family was wiped out by a cat's attack. Later, the spirit of the rat, attracted by Vandalieu's mana, arrived at Darcia's hideout, where it was sealed into a set of a human skeleton found in the area by Vandalieu, who was six months old but was going to look for his mother. At this time, Bone Man, a Rank 1 Living Bone, was incapable of making decisions and simply followed Vandalieu's orders.

Bone Man, along with the animal undead created at the same time, gained experience points by killing animals, weak monsters, and bandits and acquired the simple ability to make decisions and to handle a sword, a shield, and a bow and arrow. At this point, he already had prodigious intelligence for a former rat.

He further trained with Ghoul warriors in Zadiris's Village and learned how to fight in coordination with others, even though he could not speak.

### Vandalieu's first knight

Upon arriving in Talosheim, Vandalieu combined the spirit body of what appeared to have been a knight who died in battle 200 years ago into Bone Man in order to raise his capabilities to the next level. As a result, Bone Man was raised to Rank 4 Skeleton Knight, was strengthened overall, and acquired intelligence and the ability to talk like humans. At the same time, he has revealed himself to have a knightly personality, and started emitting voices that sound like a forced rat's squeak in a rich baritone voice. Even as a knight, his true nature has always remained that of a rat.

## Meeting his mount

Bone Man was eager to ride a dragon zombie. After the completion of the Cream Expedition, Vandalieu turned the "Scaled King," the dragon that had ruled the vast marshlands, into a zombie and made him an aide to Shashuja, the Lizardman who was to replace him as the local ruler, so that the other Lizardmen tribe obey Shashuja. After his services were completed, the Scaled King, renamed "Leo" was handed over to the Bone Man, who became his mount.

## Awakening the bone blades

Bone Man, who participated in the pacification of a civil war in the southern part of the continent by the Bugitas, lost his reason due to the wiles of the Bugitas' master, the evil god Ravovifard. He went on a rampage, dismembering all the bones in his body and attacking with them all. Although most of the bones in his body were shattered on this occasion, Bone Man was convinced that he could become stronger by mastering this technique. He continued his training and acquired the Skill of "Bone Blades," which turns all the bones that make up his body into blades.

## Meaning of Birth

In order to revive Darcia, Bone Man joined the Trial of Zakkart attack force and fought against the Sand Demons and the Orichalcum Statues.

Ten months after clearing the Dungeon, Darcia took physical form again with the power of the root of life bequeathed by Zakkart. Bone Man and Knochen, created for the purpose of bringing Vandalieu to his mother, had finally achieved their true purpose.

## A certain disrespect

When Vandalieu began working in Morksi, Bone Man rose to Rank 12 Skeleton Blade Emperor. Having inadvertently acquired the title of "Emperor," which should have been held by Vandalieu, Bone Man was so devastated that he contemplated suicide, and thereafter stopped commanding the Undead to fight, except for Knochen, who was like a brother to him.

## Surprise attack

When the Heroic Spirits led by Fitun attacked the city of Morksi, Bone Man pretended to be a spontaneous Skeleton to catch the enemy by surprise and killed one of them before he could demonstrate his power as a Heroic Spirit. The city authorities were unaware that he was one of the bandits.
