travel to the mountain

lux was siting in the cave it had been around 2 hours since he woke up from passing out

he opened his eyes

lux "so how do I turn the abyss python into an undead"

grimoire 'just chant the spell and your mana will do the rest'

lux "summon lesser undead"

the abyss python started moving around

its flesh started to disintegrate into black energy absorbed by the pythons skeleton

grimoire 'summoning of undead skeleton python complete'

skill poison shot (consumes 4 death mana to shoot death poison)

lux "what's this why can i see all of this information about the python"

grimoire 'I can show all of your summons status even yours but the more death mana your summons absorbs the higher they can evolve'

lux "show me my status

status

lux "how come I'm 5 times weaker than the python"

grimoire 'your strength and speed wont increase till you reach dark necromancer as that's when you start refining you own body with mana'

lux "but most knights can kill a abyss python so are knight 5 times stronger than me"

grimoire 'most knights have a strength of 10 what makes a python so hard for knights is its speed its agile and will go for week points and most abyss python will die from blood lose after a few cuts but the skeleton python can only be killed by crushing its skull'

lux "now it should be easier to get across the death mountains with the python"

"grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

lux's stomach started growling like a beast

lux "python go hunt don't use your poison"

the python slivered of and went hunting 20 minutes later it cam back with 3 rabbits

he got a fire started with some sticks and skinned the rabbits after 10 minutes of roasting he started to eat like mad then he realized that his death mana had increased

lux "what's going on"

grimoire 'you can increase mana from eating dead animals but only miner increase

death mana 25.1

as every dead thing in the world dies when you eat it the death mana from its body goes in to the stomach and gets absorbed by the mana core of course this is only viable to necro based mages if normal mages have to absorbed nature/living mana from the air, tress and rocks

lux "so all I have to do is eat and I can become a necromancer"

grimoire 'no to become a necromancer you need 100 mana it would take you all your life to eat to becoming one eating dose more to recover you death mana than increase it'

lux "so how come I've got so much mana now if i only became a necro summoner a day ago"

grimoire 'when you condense a death mana core you get 20 mana as slandered and after killing the python you absorbed its death mana increasing yours to 25'

lux "wait what are skills i remember seeing I don't have any on my status"

grimoire 'skills are things you learn like alchemy or sword fighting but you can have luck encounters like skill books on monster but it takes time to learn them'

lux "do i need to train in a death filled environment "

grimoire 'you can slowly increase your mana anywhere but it will be half as affective as you doing it hear of Corse theirs more places with dancer death mana but they will have natural undead which will attack you and if you find a death garden you will most likely die there'

grimoire 'portals to over world do exist as well all over the world and new ones forming every day but the ones that are the deadliest are the death worlds were millions of undead live if you find one you could becomes a black lich in around a week'

but world portals are rare and death worlds are even rarer

after asking the grimoire a few questions he went to sleep

he woke up early morning and set of from the cave the snake killing small insects and animals along the way

at the foot of the mountain there was a small path half way up you could see why it was called the death mountains after he got over the ridge he sore all sorts of monster griffins, stone golems, dragons,

after half a day of walking the skeleton python killed a rock wolf and they found a cave near by to stay for the night he skilled the wolf and made it into a crude jacket for himself stone wolfs were known for the lone wolf attitude as he was cooking the food he started meditating he was slowly absorbing the death mana from the wolfs corpse after 10-20 minutes of meditation the food was cooked he started munching down on the wolf meet like crazy meditation takes a lot out of you

lux "I wonder what's beyond the mountains"

the truth is it was a kingdom as big as rose and thorn put together it was the kingdom of kildra it was a place better than any there was all races lived together and barely had any wars except internal ones it was on land surrounded by the death mountain range and the forest of bliss, by the sea it was the blue dragon kings domain and the king of kildra Kurt the 3rd had an agreement with the dragon king most people lived in peace except for the monsters that surrounded the kingdom in death mountain range and the forest of bliss with the abundant natural resources in the kingdom it made it a hotspot for all monsters on the land or sea to converge at. most people didn't know about this kingdom why because all the noble's of rose and thorn hated the kildra kingdom for how rich they were if it wasn't for the death mountain range they would have formed an alliance to attack kildra of course they have no clue how powerful kildra was it was one of the top 3 kingdoms of the world only the top 3 can have a dragon as there crest then you have high rank kingdoms they had a high rank animal on them like lions or tigers, medium kingdoms had wolfs or magic wands and the low kingdoms had plants
