Necromancer?!

"Death is such pesky predicament, i'd rather all creatures live for an eternity." The man in front of him smiled, "don't you agree?"

〈Do you wish to become Class:Necromancer?〉

'Necromancer huh?', Kaito had read fantasy books before and knew that the term 'necromancer' usually referred to a being that practice the dark arts to create undead creatures to fight for them.

A scene formed in Kaito's mind; A mighty figure, with an whole army moving under his control, doing his every bidding.

Yes, Necromancer wasn't a bad idea!

Kaito accepted the offer.

〈Congratulations! Necromancer Class unlocked! New abilities are added!〉

'New abilities? how do i see those?'.

The second Kaito thought this he got a new notification and then a screen popped up in front of him.

Current limit: 1 undead

(Raise Undead) creates an animated human skeleton, this ability is very simple and is usually the first ability mastered by all dark sorcerers who seek to build an army of undead.

Katio quickly read all of it, exciting! "Well, thank you for...." When Kaito closed the screen in front of him he was met by an empty alley, the man was nowhere to be seen.

'It does fit his character to disappear i guess' Kaito turned around and started walking towards the town square yet again.

Reaching the town square he looked around, there was far less players than before, most likely because a lot of them where looking for trainers in the classes they wished to be.

'I would really like to try out the new spell, but perhaps i should find some quest to follow before doing that'. Kaito had read about the general concept of games such as this.

To find quests, help NPC's, get rewards , that was the usual trend.

He looked around the town square and spotted a door that was a bit smaller compared to the other stores, there was a sign outside of it that read "The Huntsman".

'The person inside might need help hunting some animals, there must be wildlife at the outskirts of the forest just outside of town, and it seems like a fitting early quest'.

Kaito made his way to the store and walked in, a small bell rang as he opened the door to signal the owner of a new customer.

A deep voice sounded "How can i help ye' laddie''?" Kaito saw a big man, with a huge beard, sitting behind the customer desk on a too small chair.

The desk also seemed too small for the giant man, everything in the store was "too small" for this man. But his smile that was plastered on his face was huge.

"I'm not really looking to buy anything, i came here with the intention to perhaps ask of you if you needed help with anything?" Kaito answered while looking around:

It was an old building, the floor boards groaned and creaked, the windows that were supposed to invite people into the store had cobwebs over them, the displays that were supposed to have fresh meat and pelts were empty.

"Yes! i could really use some help! my name is Baldrum, nice to meet you!" the big man stood up, and started walking around the desk to greet his new acquaintance. Every step felt like it could make the whole shop crumble, there was no carefulness behind his steps.

That's when Kaito saw that Baldrum didn't have any legs, not the usual kind anyways. The man in front of him was supported by two peg legs, one for each leg, they were put on just underneath his knees.

Baldrum noticed Kaito's gaze and chuckled "Oh this? Let's just say it's the aftermath of a bad hunting trip" A expression of sadness crossed over the Baldrum's face, but no longer than a second.

A big grin was formed yet again "Hunting has become harder to do by myself you see, and that's what i'd like you to help me with. In the field by the south gate there's lots of rabbits close to the edge of the forest. bring me a few pelts will ya?"

〈New Quest : Hunt down (Rabbit(s) and acquire 10 pelts(0/10) and deliver them to Baldrum〉

〈do you wish to accept? Y/N〉

"I'll help you" Kaito nodded, this would be his first quest, he felt excited.

〈Quest Accepted!〉

"Oh, i couldn't thank ye' enough laddie'!" Baldrum exclaimed, "well then, off you go! to the south gate!"

As Kaito exited the Huntsman's shop he saw players moving about, apparently a few of them were done with getting a class and were now on the hunt for a quest themselves.

He made his way to the south gate and walked through. He didn't need to walk far from the village before he spotted his enemy-

〚GreenWood Rabbit Lvl.1 HP: 30/30〛

The rabbit stopped to sniff the air around him, in response Kaito hid in the grass, not to get spotted. Now was the time to see what a a necromancer could do.

"Raise undead" he uttered.

〈Ability: Raise undead used! Mana: 25 > 0〉

Bones accompanied by dark energy appeared from Kaito's hands, they danced around him before being put together in front of him, forming a skeleton figure.

〚Insane's Undead Lvl.1 HP: 40/40〛

It looked so real, this skeleton would scare those weak of heart. Kaito smiled as he confidently commanded "Attack!" as he pointed at the rabbit.

The skeleton turned around and ran towards the furry little creature, 'Let's hope the rabbit doesn't run away instantly' Kaito thought.

But to his big surprise the rabbit didn't run, the opposite instead happened. As the rabbit noticed the skeleton it growled, now showing a set of razor sharp teeth and prepared to attack.

'I didn't know that rabbits could growl', Kaito was taken aback.

A mighty clash of shattered bones and strands of fur filled the ground, bones were broken, blood was spilled.

Kaito watched his undead mindlessly hit the little woodland creature, with no tactical thinking supporting it's offensive moves. The rabbit didn't back down, it dodged and used it's sharp teeth to break the bones supporting the undead.

The Epic battle was coming to a close, as the creatures stared at each other, getting ready for the last clash.

〚GreenWood Rabbit(enraged) Lvl.1 HP: 2/30〛

〚Insane's Undead Lvl.1 HP: 3/40〛

As if a bell on a boxing ring sounded, the two creatures used their last attack.

The rabbit fell, the blood and gore that trailed behind it now disappeared into pixels of light.

〈Killed GreenWood Rabbit Lvl.1!〉

〈acquired 1 rabbit pelt〉

〈Gained 3 Experience!〉

Next to where the rabbit had died there was a pile of bones slowly crumbling apart into a purple energy that was gently flowing back into Kaito.

〈Insane's Undead Lvl.1 Defeated! Receiving a 1/3 of the energy back. Mana 0 > 8〉

Kaito just stood there, frozen. This was supposed to be a cute rabbit, this was supposed to be one of the earliest things to kill, he was sure of it.

'Why were the rabbits so strong?' Kaito pondered. 'Or was his summon just THAT weak?' He didn't think too much about it, maybe this was how hard it was supposed to be.

Anyways, he had killed the rabbit and gained 1 pelt. 9 more to go!

He needed to sit down and rest to wait for his mana to come back. Sitting down in the grass he relaxed and almost blanked out as he waited, a few minutes passed by.

〈Mana full! 25/25〉

Kaito opened his eyes- "Round two"
