The Eighteenth

That reminds me of that one skill book she stole piqued my interest a little, until I saw what it was. Raise Undead, I already have a superior version of it but as I was thinking this a screen popped up.

[Raise Undead Skill has been learned]

[Alter Undead skill has been derived from Create Undead skill and became its own ability]

[Teaching skill has been upgraded to Superior Teaching skill.]

Ok seriously what the hell. I didn't even read the damn skill book. Oh well, screw it, let's read the descriptions of these damn skills.

[Raise Undead: able to create undead at a stoic level that can't be raised nor can the undead evolve and the undead version is weaker than when it was alive. Has no limit on use]

I read this and said to myself that it would be useless until it was rectified by the second skill.

[Alter Undead: Able to reset the level of any undead created using skills lower than Revitalize The Dead to 1 in order to allow them to get stronger, and evolve like those created. Undead monsters altered using this skill can become as strong as those made using Revitalize The Dead but take longer. They however will inertly have the skill [Exp required ¼ ] the lesser version of the one given to those created using create undead.]

Ok, that's a lot to take in. I think the teacher in me is going to have a heart attack, die, and be reborn in a repeated cycle for a while. When I looked at the last skill I had to sit down just to take it in.

[Superior Teaching: Able to teach any subordinate not created with Pocket Dimension any advanced knowledge of anything as long as you know the base subject for it.]

What is this cheat? That is overpowered as hell. Well no use trying to ponder on this. I have an idea to make several extremely weak monsters into very powerful one's. When I thought this I started with two monsters for my experiment and took them out at the training ground with everyone sitting down in the background watching. A rat and a wolf, two of the first three monsters I met that were very easy to take down. I raised my hand to them and casted Raise Undead on them. Their dead corpses got up and stared at me waiting for orders. I decided to look at their status to see the before and after effects.

[Undead Dire Rat]

[Level 2]

[Undead Dire Wolf]

[Level 4]

I looked at them disappointed but it's to be expected. After that I casted Alter Undead on both of them and they were surrounded by my dark blue Mana. Like Dan their wounds completely healed except they turned pitch black instead of silver. Before I looked at their status again I activated the Superior Teaching skill on the rat and thought of one word 'Ninja'. Afterwards a screen popped up.

[Path Of The Ninja has been selected for Nightmare Rat through Superior Teaching skill for it's evolutionary path, absorbing sufficient Mana for path.]

After the screen said that a small amount of mana was taken from me and surrounded the rat. When the Mana dissipated the rat grew and stood on two feet to around the size of Dan.

[Nightmare Rat has become Rat Thief through The Path Of The Ninja. Rat Thief has achieved the first of 10 evolutions on the path with an 11th final one.]

This skill actually tells me how many evolutions they will have as well? How much more useful can it be? Oh that reminds me, let me look at it's status.

[Name: None]

[Race: Nightmare Rat]

[Class: Rat Thief]

[Evolution Path: Ninja 1/11]

[Level: 1]

[Inherent skills]

[Exp required ¼] [Night Vision]

[Skills]

[Dagger Art Lv1] [Shadow Step Lv1] [Shadow Strike Lv1] [Kuni Technique Lv1]

[Titles]

[One Who Walks Within The Shadows] [Survivor Of Life And Death] [One Who Follows A Straight Path]

Well damn, not as strong as Create Undead my ass. When the rat finished it's new transformation it gained new intelligence.

"Thisss one thanksss the Great Lord for bringing it back to life and giving it a stronger body than before!" Looks like this one can't hold it's S properly yet. I'll have it work on that. I waved for the rat to move to the side so that I could focus on the wolf. I didn't think too hard on what path I wanted it to take as I said the word 'Berserk' and another similar screen popped up.

[Path Of The Berserker has been selected for Nightmare Wolf through Superior Teaching skill for it's evolutionary path, absorbing sufficient Mana for path.]

Much more Mana was drained this time and a more significant change happened. When the Mana disappeared what was left was a short wolf beastkin boy with silver hair and the same colored eyes as mine, red and gold.

[Nightmare Wolf has become Wolf Swordsman through the Path Of The Berserker. Nightmare Wolf Swordsman has achieved the first of 10 evolutions on the path with an 11th final one.]

I couldn't believe my eyes for a moment before I looked at his status.

[Name: None]

[Race: Nightmare Death Wolf Beastkin]

[Class: Swordsman]

[Evolution Path: Berserker 1/11]

[Level: 1]

[Survivor Of Life And Death] [Bringer of Death] [Child Of Nemesis] [Divinity Born]

Wait what is with that title in the end? Does that mean that this one would be a legit child of mine? That makes zero sense whatsoever, but then again he has the same colored hair and eyes as me. When I looked down at him he said one word that made everyone go silent.

"Father!" As he said that he ran towards me and jumped at me. I just barely managed to react and caught him in my arms, before he got comfortable and nestled against my chest, as I sat down trying to think of what to say next.
