Bab 1: Chapter 1-2 – The Start.
Chapter 1– Character Creation.
"You trash bastard!"
"You think you will get away with this!"
"Why the heck you did that?! What we ever did anything to you?"
"We were supposed to win that match!"
"Because of you we lost the tournament!"
"You are kicked out of the team!"
"…."
The man lying on the bed opened his eyes.
"Fuck me…. Those bastard won't even leave me alone in my dreams. I just wanted a quick freaking nap. Why the heck I have to dream about them of all people?" – said the man while getting up from the bed.
The man with a black hair and a scar on his left cheek got up from the bed and walked towards the weird box like device.
[Download Completed.]
"Fuking finally. What kind of game downloads 8 fuking hours? I have no internet problem or anything."
"I mean, I would completely understand, since sometimes with very shitty connections the games can sometimes can download the whole day…. But I didn't had any problems like that."
(If anything, the connections is at its best right now.)
"Well, this isn't a simple game, but an advance one, so maybe that is the reason why it took so long."
"But they really need to do something about this for crying out loud." – said the man while looking at the headgear device and a weird box shaped consol.
[Its year 2058 and this year, the age of games changed completely.]
[The games are something we all love and enjoy right? Things like computer games, maybe games on our telephones or maybe a consol game. Some people also enjoy games like a simple card games or a normal or complicated board games.]
[There exists many games and everybody can find one they enjoy playing. Sometimes people came up with the types of games that utilizes the special mechanism or became a popular gimmick that make other games copy them and changed it in their own way. New games are being made every day and each one brings their own joy and of course the old games that started many years ago are still kicking like poker, chest and other stuff. Games will never die in the hearths of the people.]
[However, what do you think if you had an ability to go into the game ITSELF?]
[Avriones]
[The newly released game that utilizes the first ever system called "Neuro Connect" or "Dive".]
[What does it do? Simple put it transport your consciousness and the mind into the game. Making you go into the different world itself, making you the character in the game.]
[Making this game a first step towards the new generation of the world of the games that influenced the entire world!]
(Honestly, its sound extremely absurd and stupid. It sounded like its straight out of the novel or something. Honestly when I went for the testing, I was expecting something like better VR game or something with the better sensing. When it was my turn for testing, they told me to go into some weird capsule thing and that made me even more confused, I mean, how the heck I would move around in that thing??? But after I got in and they turned on the game, the thing that shouldn't be real started happening.)
(It was a real deal. I was literally in some weird grassland. I could walk, run or even touch the grass like in real life. There was even something like where I could shoot a fire out my hand like magic. I though they drugged me or something while I had the device on myself, but that wasn't the case. It was all real.)
(When the time limit was up and I was logged out, I couldn't understand what the heck was that? They even showed the footage of me not moving inside the capsule at all, I was so freaking creped out and confused because I was moving a lot inside of the game, how the heck I didn't moved an inch or anything?!)
("Am I still in the game?" "Is this real?" "By any chance nothing is real and even the real world isn't real?")
(I was so fuking confused that I took me few days to calm down. Something that came straight out of the novel was literally real and I experienced it.)
(Obviously it didn't took long for the world to be taken by the storm because of this. Literally they already ruined out of the special VR equipment called "VR neuro connect set." Or VRNCS. The company wasn't expecting for them to run out immediately out of those things when preorders started.)
"Honestly I was even lucky to manage to get one in the first place."
VRNCS consists of 2 things. The VR neurolinker and the neurolinker consol.
VR neurolinker is a device you put on your head that covers your eyes and ears while the neurolinker consol is pretty much is the thing you put the game card into that contains the game, the thing it self looks like a fancy box.
Honestly, I was expecting something well… bigger? Like the helmet would look like a biker helmet or something similar. When I went to the beta testing, they put us into a capsule like devices that had our entire body go into it.
It was really weird holding this head gear when I got it. I mean, from the weird big capsule to this? I'm not complaining and all, but would that really work? Wasn't that capsule big in the first place because it needed all technology stuff inside of it?
"…."
"Welp, I should forget it. I still don't bloody know how in the seven hells and heavens they manage to make THAT thing in the first place."
"I think I should just forget it and enjoy the game."
"The servers will launch on 14:30. Just in few minutes the servers will be launched. Good thing I manage to download this thing when before it opened."
"…."
"Wait, but won't be a problem when tons of people log in the same time? Won't I end up waiting in queue?"
"…. Ah fuck it."
"I'm logging in as soon as the servers are open." – said the man while unplugging the head gear device from the cable and putting it on his head.
The man walked towards his bed and then lied on top of it before taking out his phone.
[14:28]
[14:29]
[14:30]
(NOW!)
The man quickly covered his eyes and ears with the head gear device before turning the device on while lying on the bed.
Moments later after turning on the device, the vision of the man changed completely. From a darkness suddenly many different colors appeared before mering together and becoming white.
After that the space itself changed and became a white and black room.
"?"
"Huh."
The man beginned touching his head, trying to feel the device he put on, but he couldn't feel anything.
"I really got into the game? Huh. I can't feel that thing I just put on me."
The man looked at his hands. What he saw was a black and white pair of hands that didn't resembles his own.
"But why do I look, well… like nothing?"
[Neuronlinke consol account.]
[Login]
[Quit]
"?" – the man noticed a floating panel in front of him appearing out of the thin air.
"Oh, this is logging in area or something?"
"So, do I touch it?" – said the man before touching the [Login].
After pressing it, the keyboard appeared in front of the person.
"Oh."
The man beginned typing on the floating keyboard.
[Login Successful.]
[Downloading Data.]
[Establishing connection.]
[…]
[…]
[The game is ready for the launch.]
[Selected game: [Avriones]
[Start the game?]
[Yes/No]
[Yes]
As soon as man pressed the yes button, the scenery beginned to changing. The room beginned falling apart before then disappearing.
After that space disappeared a new one appeared moment later. The black and white room was replaced completely with a medieval looking room made out of the bricks.
"?"
"The area around me changed again?"
[Welcome to the [Avriones].]
[Please log into your [Avriones] game account.]
"Hm."
The man beginned looking around.
(This looks like a temple or something? From a black and white room into a temple? Anyway, this place looks pretty good.) - though the man while looking around.
(Anyway, by the looks of things I have to log in again.)
"…." – the man beginned typing again on the keyboard.
[Loging completed.]
After completing the logging procedure, the floating panel disappear and new one appeared.
[Greetings new player!]
[It seems this is your first time logging in and you also do not possess a game character yet.]
[Do you wish to begin creating new character right now?] [Yes]-[No]
[Yes]
[Character Creation Process shall now begin.]
"?"
After the message popped up, the room beginned glowing with the faint light from the ceiling before moment later many different floating winddowns appeared near the man.
[Before you begin your character creation process, allow me to tell you few important things.]
[In the game [Avriones] players can play however they want. They can become a farmer, alchemist, blacksmith, cook, adventurer, knight, hero, a villain, saint, bandit or even a king. It's all up to you.]
[To grow stronger or develop new possibilities you need to level up and leveling up possess few effects.]
[The first effect of the leveling up is +1 to all stats.]
[The second effect is the granting +10 stat points. Those points possess a special effect, using those points you can increase any of the stats of your own choosing in any way or shape.]
[The third effect is the granting +10 skill points. Those points can be used to acquire a new abilities and skills for the user.]
[Now let's talk a bit about the skills and stats.]
[First stats.]
[There exists multiple different stats in the game, each one provides the different benefits.]
[Here are the basic stats.]
[Health (HP)] – [Health stat represent the user HP. When the HP of the user reaches 0, they die. Each health points provides 10 HP.]
[Mana (MP)] – [Mana stat represent user MP. Most of the skills in the game require the user MP to use them, without it the player won't be able to use the skill that requires MP. Each mana point provides 10 MP.]
[Stamina (SP)] – [Stamina stat represent user SP. Stamina is used whenever user do any physical action like sprint or swing the sword. Also, some skills uses the user SP to be activated. Each stamina point provide 10 SP.]
[Strength (STR)] – [Strength stat influences different things. Most notable the user physical strength as we well as their limit of how heavy equipment they can wear.]
[Agility (AGI)] – [Agility stat influences the user speed and movements.]
[Intelligent (INT)] – [Intelligent stat influences many different things. One of the main things it influences some of the skills performance.]
[Vitality (VIT)] – [Vitality stat represent user defense stats. The higher the endure stat is the higher user defense is. Each point of vitality stat provides 2 defense.]
[Those 7 stats are known as "Basic Stats", each and every user as well as being in this world possess it.]
[There also exists something called "Extra Stats". Unlike "Basic Stats" they need to be acquire via specific method or means.]
[Now let's talk about the skills.]
[The most common method of acquiring the skills is via use of the skill points. Some of the skills are related to one another and form a skill tree. Some of the skills allow you to see their details before acquiring them but some stay hidden with their details until you acquire a skill that belongs to the same skill branch as them.]
[To unlock new skills, you can pick you need to meet special conditions or/and acquired one or more related skills.]
[Skills also possess levels. By using the said skills or doing something related to them, you will be able to make them stronger in the process.]
[You need to be carefully when picking a skill as well as when distributing stat points, but in the end, you are free to choose what you want.]
[You shall be given 100 stat points as well as 100 skill points. Please use them wisely. In the character creation you are able to reset any changes if you had changed your mind on something, so take your time.]
[You can start first by picking your skills and distributing stat points them now or do it later after making the avatar.]
"Huh. This seem interesting?"
"So, I don't pick a class and I'm good to go, but I chose what I skills I want to pick? This does seems interesting. I think I will pick my skills first."
"Anyway, what skills I can pick?"
The man looked at the skill winddown.
"…. Wow…. There is a lot. There is also some winddown with [???]."
"Hm…. It says here that some skills need to be unlocked. I guess those are those skill? There is also quite a lot of those [???]. My god, how many bloody skills they freaking added in. The list just stretches on and on."
"Anyway, what do I want to pick…. Hm...…?"
[Basic Necromancy] – [80 points] – [Class: Necromancer]
(Necromancy? Huh. Normally in the games necromancers are the enemies that use necromancy to create an undead enemies. It's quite rare, but there are few games that does have something like playable necromancer class.)
[Basic Necromancy]
[Passive] – [Category: Class]
[Allow user to use a power of the necromancy to create an undead servant that will follow orders.]
[Upon acquiring generate an extra stat [Necro Mastery]. This extra stat allows user to control an undead creature under your command.]

[Skill Options] [X]
"Huh…..."
"That seems…. Quite interesting? There are some skills that creates undead, just like necromancer."
"..."
"Hm…... Meh. I will go with [Necromancy]. I mean, many people want to become a necromancer and control their own army of the dead. This does seems like a fun thing."
"But what should I pick then? [Basic Necromancy] needs 80 points, so that means I can only pick: [Bone Darts], [Necro Shot] and [Create: Lesser Skeleton Servant]."
"...Eh. [Create: Lesser Skeleton Servant]."
"I mean. What the point of having picking necromancy if you can't even make undead right?"
[Do you wish to pick those skills? Your choice cannot be changed after you done with the character creation.]
"Yea I want to."
"Now let's distribute those stats."
"…..."
"Hm…...I think this will do."
[HP: 10->20] [MP: 10->20] [SP: 10->20]
[STR: 1->11] [AGI: 1->11] [INT: 1->11] [VIT: 1->11]
[Undead Mastery: 1->31]
(I've put 10 into everything and 20 more into undead mastery. I don't know how important different stats are, but it may be a good idea to kept it balanced? Well, I can always just my stat points into other things later on after I screw around.)
"So now I think I make my character."
[Character - Avatar creation]
[In this step you will create the appearance of your avatar and who they are.]
[First you need to select your starting race.]
[Each race possess their own benefits, but some races also possess an downsides, so be careful.]
[Some races possess a sub races and some races may allow you to pick some new skills related to their race.]
[Pick carefully because the race cannot be changed later on.]
"Huh. Yet again there is a lot to choose from."
"Fuck me. How many things they added to this game?"
[Human]
[Race Passive]
[Gain 1 extra stat point and skill point every level.]
[Receive bonus +0.5 extra stat point and extra skill point on the start.]
(Hm…... What the heck should I pick? There is a lot of different races here and even some of them have sub races.)
"…. Well, I don't want to pick a human. Seems too bland. Elves don't really interest me that much as well as dwarfs. Maybe orc? Hm…. Nope. Orc seem more like a brute type than a mage. On top of that its race passive doesn't seem to be good for me.)
"Well, there is a lot, so maybe there is something for....?"
[Unliving]
[Unliving are a people or a beings that were once living being but died. However, when they died their body was infected with necrotic mana and somehow fused and mutated for unknown reason, that resulted in not them turning into the regular undead, but an undead that retained all of their previous life memories and personality.]
[Unlivings are part of the undead race.]
[Benefits]
[Increase the performance of the skills and other abilities with necrotic, dark, poison and curse elements and skills by 25%. Stackable with itself.]
[Increase defense against Necrotic, dark, poison and curse attributes and skills by 25% Stackable with itself.]
[Decreases the effect of the {poisoned} type statues effects as well as {cursed} statues effects by 15%.]
[Downsides.]
[Decrees healing received from the light and holy elements and skills and other sources by 30%. Stackable with itself.]
[Increase damage taken by light and holy elements and skills attacks by 30%. Stackable with itself.]
[Decrees the performance of the light and holy elements skills and other abilities used by the user by 30%. Stackable with itself.]
[Sub Race]
[Sub race of the choosing will be one of the available races and one their subrace, but with only 50% of the benefits and downsides effects.]
"Huh…. "
The man pressed the [Unliving] and moments later after clicking it, a data like particles appeared in the middle of the room that combined together and making a skeleton appear in the middle of the room.
"…. So…. It's a skeleton?"
"Hm…. It does seem interesting. It increases the performance of some type of skills, but it got some down sides regarding the light and holy elements. They became weaker when used by the unliving undead and they even receive bonus damage from them. Pretty much light and holy stuff is their weakness and that can stack, so 30% bonus received damage does seems pretty bad."
"…. I think I will go with this."
"I mean, being undead and being necromancer as well seem very classic and interesting. Like a lich. I'm kind of down for it."
"For the sub race…. Hm…. Em…. What the heck I want?"
(Should I pick a human? The effect would be halve but I would be getting 0.5 of the skill point and stat point ever level. But isn't there something more interesting?)
"Orc, elf, dwarf, goblin, demi-human, dermoid, angeloid…...?"
(…. Demonoid. A humanoid creature that belongs to the demon race. Angeloid. A humanoid creature that belongs to the angel race.)
(Huh, so you can become a demon or an angel? In this game?)
(Should I pick one for my sub race? Obviously not the angeloid since angels are usually about light and holy stuff and that probably won't work with the unliving. Then should I go with the demonoid?)
"Undead demon huh?"
"This does sound interesting and it increase the INT stat and MP, but it also possess weakness to the holy and light. Picking it may seem good, but won't become even more vurnable to the light and holy element?"
"…"
"Well, this may be good for me, but it's better if I look around bit more."
(Something that works well with me being undead…... Should I look through the races that doesn't have lot down sides or maybe with the race that have resistance against the light or/and holy elements? But by the look of things races with down sides also receive good benefits. Honestly there is way to freaking many options.)
(I know more option is better and all, but holy fuking shit, there is a LOT and I still haven't started playing yet. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it took me a few hours to finish making my character.)
(Is there any race with any good passive or something that can work well with the unliving?)
(Well, if not I can always pick either human or demonoid. Both of them seem like a good choice.)
"Strength buff, nope.... Endurance buff, also nope...?"
[Lizardman]
"Lizardman? As if the humanoid lizard monster from fantasies?"
"They even have this thing as the option? Huh. Nice I guess?"
(Anyway, what does it do?)
[50% of the race benefits and downsides]
[Benefits]
[Defense and magic defense increase by 2.5% (5%)]
[Sub races]
[Green Scales] [Black Scales] [Red Scales] [Blue Scales] ...
"Fuck me. This race also have several sub races."
(…. Hm. Well, maybe they have something interesting.) – though the man before beginning reading through the different sub races details and effects.
"...Crafting, this isn't it…...Fire element resistance. It would be nice if that was holy or light resistance, then maybe I would pick it...Hm? Hey wait."
[Lizardman] [Dark Green Scale Tribe]
[Increase the performance of the skills and other abilities with necrotic elements and skills by 15% (30%).]
[Increase basic against defense necrotic element and skills by 15% (30%).]
[Decrees performance of the holy element and skills by 10% (20%).]
[Increase damage taken from holy element and skills by 10% (20%).]
"…. Huh."
(It's quite good? I mean forget the down side but the benefit works well with the unliving?)
(It doesn't have a lot of benefits, but that single benefit suits me very good?)
"…. Welp. I decided. Let's go with that."
[Race: Unliving] [Sub Race: Lizardman – Dark Green Scale Tribe]
In the middle of the room, the skeleton changes its appearance into that resembling the lizardman.
"Okay. Now for the customization. Let's see…."
"…Cosmetics… Huh. I can add something like tattoos onto my bones? Oh! I can even paint all of them in different color!"
"How about I make the bones dark green? Since I picked dark green scale tribe."
"Oh! Add a spine spikes, yea it looks quite good now."
The man continue messing around with the character creation for some time and some other things. Before long he finished with everything, he needed to done, including the character creation.
"…. Uff. Nice. I think I made it look good."
In the middle of the room, a skeleton lizardman with a dark green colored bones and spine looking like it was made out of spikes was standing.
"Well then. Skills picked. Stats distributed. Equipment picked and the avatar made."
"I don't care how much time I spended, but I'm finally satisfied with the results."
"Well then. Let's start the game."
[Do you wish end the character creation process?]
[Yes]
[Beginning constructing the character.]
[…]
[Character construction finished.]
[You are now able to log into the Server.]
[Do you wish to go in right now?]
[Yes]
Chapter 2 – The Start.
[You have been teleported to the starting area: Graveyard Town - Avon]
The blue and white data like particles appeared and gathered, forming a skeleton lizardman.
"…. Huh." – said the man while looking at his hands.
"…"
The man beginned inspecting his body. Touching his face, his chest, his hands, his legs and his tail.
(I'm freaking skeleton and I have a tail.)
"….F-...Wow." – said the man while trying to walk.
(Walking feels bit weird? Well, I'm skeleton and not even a human but a lizardman, I guess I need some time getting used to it.)
(Also, how do I move the tail around?)
(Anyway, this place looks bit grim, but also interesting.)

[Skills]
[Basic Necromancy]-[LVL1] [Create: Lesser Skeleton Servant]-[LVL1]
[Some time ago during character creation.]
[Plain Dark Green Shirt] [Plain Black Pants] [Beginner Spear]
"…. Honestly, I was expecting that there would be more equipment you can pick on the start, considering how many freaking skills and other stuff there all. I was only able to pick some clothes and my starting weapon."
"Oh well, it's no use complaining, since they already gave me a shit lot of options in other things."
"Anyway, what next?"
[Starting Area]
[Chose a starting area where you want to begin your journey in.]
[Some of the starting areas will allow you or not allow you to start in them depending on your race.]
"Huh. So, I can chose starting area based on what race I picked? That kind of nice."
"Anyway, what do we have here."
Lizardman V'v town, graveyard town Avon, Adventurer town Aan (Recommended starting location) and some other stuff. The Adventurer town Aan has the recommended written on it."
"Hm.... Meh. Let's got with the graveyard town. Since I will be skeleton and all."
[Back to the present.]
(I mean, I did chosen this area and all, but holy shit. Just look at this place. The details and all. And this place also have a vibe of the graveyard, well, it does have graveyard in its name and all.)
"…"
"…. What now?"
(They did said that the game doesn't have anything like main story line or anything and the influence of the players as well as being of this world will influence things, but is there anything like a beginner quest, tutorial or something?) – though the man while looking around.
(Am I supposed to go somewhere or something?)
"Hm?"
(There is a board and there is something written on it.)
Player ClownFrog approached wooden board that was near the spawning area.
"Blacksmith shop, alchemy shop, material shop, adventure guild…... Huh. So, it's like an information board."
(I think should go the adventure guild, since normally in the novels that is the place where you can take quest and all.)
(The arrows is pointing that way, so if I just in that direction I will find the adventure guild?)
ClownFrog beginned walking through the town while looking around.
"…."
(Skeletons, humans, orcs and some dwarfs. Are they NPCs or a players?)
"…."
(This seems to be a place. A board with a sword and mage hat, so that means this is adventurer guild.)
ClownFrog entered the building.
"…"
(Em…. Is this a right place? This place kind of looks like a bar?)
(Well, in some novels and fantasy games the adventure guilds were often depicted with part of them being a bar or something similar.)
"Excuse me. The unliving lizardman over there near the entrance."
"?"
ClownFrog turned around and saw a female dark elf behind the counter waving towards at him. Afterwords ClownFrog approached the counter.
"Yes?"
"You are new here, correct?" – asked the female dark elf.
"Y-Yea."
(Em. Is she NPC?)
"I see. By any chance did you came here to take any quest? If so, would you like telling me your current level so I can suggest you some quest?"
"Em. Well, I'm current a level one."
"Hmm… Alright. Then I recommend picking the quest herb gathering or grass wandering rabbits quest. They are good for the beginners." – said the female dark elf while pointing her finger towards the board filled with different papers attached to it.
"I see, thank you."
"…"
(WAS THAT PERSON REALLY AN NPC?!?!)
(WTF WAS THAT?!)
(She felt like real person and talked like one.)
(She called out to me when I was looking around and even asked me a question.)
(Is she something like super A.I NPC that acts like a real person?)
"…."
(Wait, should I be even surprised about this?)
(I mean, they literally made this THING and all. The game straight out of the novel. Should I be really surprised at this point about hyper realistic NPCs?)
"…."
(Yep, let's stop thinking :P)
(Anyway, she said something herb gathering and wandering rabbits, right?)
"…."
"Ah, found it."
ClownFrog reach his hand towards the request attached to the board and as soon as he touched it, a floating winddown appeared.
[Quest: Hunt Wandering Rabbits]
[Repeat Quest]
[In the western and north area outside of the village there a rabbit monster can be found called wandering rabbit. The monster posses a brown colored fur with green eyes.]
[Slay: 5 wandering rabbits and bring 5 wandering rabbit meat.]
[Reward: 25 copper coins / EXP]
[Do you wish to accept the quest?]
[Yes/No]
"Oh. It works that way."
(So, I just press this and I'm good to go?)
[You have accepted the quest: Hunt Wandering rabbits.]
(Huh, may as well pick the herb gathering quest, she asked me about.)
[You have accepted the quest: Collect Healing Grass.]
"Please take care." – said the female dark elf to the ClownFrog before leaving the adventure guild.
ClownFrog left adventure guild before moments later leaving the town itself.
"…."
"Huh."
"I though this place, be well…. Dead?"
(I didn't see a lot of grass of plants around the town and when I left, but after I walked a bit, I can see grass and some plants here and there. I though there wouldn't any plants at all or something.)
(Well, these trees does give a bit creep vibe though, as if its haunted or something.)
"…."
"Should be worry if a ghost popped up or something?" – said a freaking skeleton.
(Anyway, I think it's a good thing I picked a spear for my weapon.)
[Beginner Spear]
[Simple made very normal spear.]
[Rating: Common]
[Attack Power: 4-7]
[Durability: 12/12]
(I don't have any skills that can use for the combat expect [Create: Lesser Skeleton]. But that skill needs me to have a corpse to use it in the first place.)
(Pretty much it means I have kill something without use of the skills or anything else.)
(….)
(It won't hard or anything right? I didn't screwed up by not picking a single attack skill, right?)
While walking on the round, a sound of rustling could be heard coming from the bushes nearby before moment later a bunny jumped out of it onto the road.
[Wandering Rabbit] – [Level 1]
"!"
ClownFrog quickly took out his spear and aimed it tip towards the rabbit monster.
(Wandering rabbit, this is the monster I was looking for.)
(Okay. First fight. Its just a rabbit, so don't be so nervous.)
The rabbit monster beginned chagrining straight at the ClownFrog. The undead lizardman noticed that and tried stabbing the rabbit with his spear, but the exact moment he tried attacking, the rabbit jumped, dodging the attack and head butting ClownFrog in the chest.
"!"
"Ow?! That hurt?!"
"You bastard!"
ClownFrog launched attack yet again with his spear, this time stabbing the rabbit.
"Why you! Just- DIE!"
ClownFrog and the rabbit continue brawling around with ClownFrog trying to stabbing and smacking it with the spear while the rabbit kicking and head butting him. Before long ClownFrog manage to stab the rabbit monster once again and killing it.
[You have slain: Wandering Rabbit – Level 1]
[You have received 4 EXP.]
"…. Fuck me…."
"This was bit harder than I thought? I though it would something like very easy or something since this is a start and all."
(Anyway, I can tell that I sucked right now with the spear. Well, this may have been obvious. I never in the bloody hell used a spear in the real life.)
[Item Drop]
- [Wandering Rabbit Meat] x1
- [Wandering Rabbit Fur] x1
"Oh, I got something. I got the meat I needed for the quest."
(I think it was good idea to split my stats at the start. I don't know how hard it would have been if I didn't do that. Maybe I should also think of getting some combat skill as well.)
(Anyway, I should get going and hunt the rest of the rabbits.)
"But first."
ClownFrog turned towards the rabbit corpse.
(Time to test it out!)
"[Create: Lesser Skeleton]!"
[Insufficient Body Mass – Skill has been canceled.]
"…."
"Wut?"
"[Create: Lesser Skeleton]."
[Insufficient Body Mass – Skill has been canceled.]
"…."
"Fuck me in the ass."
"Why the fuck I can't freaking use it?!"
(I used all of my freaking skill points because I wanted ability to summon undead, but now you telling me that I can't FUKING USE IT?!)
(By any chance did I just wasted all of my skill points?)
"…...Fffffuuuuucccccckkkkkk...…"
"…"
"Status open. Skills."
[Create: Lesser Skeleton Servant] – [Level 1]
[Active] – [Cost: Depends on the created creature] – [Cooldown: Non] – [Category: Create Creature / Necromancy]
[Use the corpse of the dead being killed by you to summon an undead creature: Lesser Skeleton, a humanoid skeleton monster.]
[The summon creature level will depend on the corpse that was used as well as user current [Necromastery Stat]. The level of the created monster cannot be higher than the user.]
[The targeted corpse requires to have a minimal amount of mass for the skill to activated. Multiple smaller corpse can be used together for filling out the necessary mass.]
[The number of the lesser skeletons servants that the user can control: 0/2]
"Hm…. It says that I can use some small corpse together as the sacrifice. So, do I need to use 2 or more these rabbits corpse to summon anything? It is quite small in the first place."
(…. I think I'm idiot. I did read that skill description during the character creation before I had picked this skill and I somehow manage to forget about this detail.)
"Em…. So can I take this rabbit corpse with me or something?"
[Corpse cannot be put into the inventory.]
"Well, that sucks."
"Hm…."
ClownFrog grabbed the rabbit corpse by the leg and lifted it.
"Huh. Maybe it will work."
ClownFrog beginned walking around with his spear in hand and caring a corpse of the rabbit on his shoulders.
After some time ClownFrog manage to encounter another rabbit monster. Afterwords, ClownFrog put the rabbit corpse down and beginned fighting the rabbit once again.
[You have slain: Wandering Rabbit – Level 1]
[You have received 4 EXP.]
"Fuck me. Its dead. I really fuking need an attack skill."
"Anyway, lets see if it will work now."
ClownFrog lifted the rabbit dead body and put it on the top of the other rabbit body.
"Okay work this fuking time. [Create: Lesser Skeleton Servant]."
[Insufficient Body Mass – Skill has been canceled.]
"OH FUCK OFF!"
While raging, another wandering rabbit suddenly appeared near ClownFrog.
"…." – ClownFrog looked at the rabbit while holding his spear.
[You have slain: Wandering Rabbit – Level 1]
[You have received 4 EXP.]
"I swear for the love of the god. If this won't FUKING work!"
"[Create: Lesser Skeleton Servant]."
"…"
After trying to activate the skill once again, a magic circle appeared beneath the rabbit corpse.
"!?"
The rabbit corpse sinked into the magic circle and seconds later, a humanoid skeleton appeared.
[Lesser Skeleton Servant] – [Level 1]
"YES! IT FUKING WORKED!"
In front of the ClownFrog an humanoid skeleton stood.
"…."
(Em…. Not like I'm complaining or anything, but it doesn't have a weapon or anything. Does it fights with its fists or something?)
"…Ah! Before I forget. Where was it…. Here."
