A Necromancer's Journey

The first thing Seth did when he returned to the sect was go to a building with a sign saying 'Spell Hall'. If he wanted to be able to take on a bear then he would have to increase his firepower.

Entering the building after giving his blood, Seth asked around for the location of fire, darkness, and spirit spells. As an outer sect disciple, he was given the opportunity to purchase a single spell for free.

For fire spells, Seth found a low-level fireball, flaming hand, flaming arrow, flaming sword, and flaming skull spell. For spirit spells, he found a low-level soul binding spell, a bunch of debuff spells, and a spirit blade spell. For darkness spells, he found a low-level spell that would allow him to blend in with darkness, a spell that allowed him to bind an opponent with shadows, and a spell that covered an area in darkness.

After thinking for a while, Seth decided on getting the low-level fireball spell and walked up to the receptionist and purchased it by giving his blood.

Content for now, Seth returned to his bedroom and took a much-needed rest. When he next woke up, ten hours had passed. The first thing he did was talk to his chip.

'Chip, analyze the spell for a low-level fireball and determine how I can create a stable spell model in my consciousness.'

[Understood. The time required is fifteen minutes.]

After fifteen minutes the process was complete and Seth followed the chip's instructions and successfully created the spell model in his consciousness, increasing his spirit by two decimal points.

[Stats]

Strength: 0.23

Agility: 0.4

Vitality: 0.67

Spirit: 1.2 -> 1.4

Status: Abnormality detected, spirit and vitality are increasing at a rapid rate.

After stabilizing the spell, Seth went to the mission hall and registered his two new minions before

returning to his room.

After meditating for a time, Seth decided it would be wise to return to hunting and this time went out with the mindset of filling up his mission slots.

The forest was calm by the ritual circle and Seth imagined it would stay that way for a while. Seth spent a few hours hunting and managed to obtain ten rabbits, six birds, and five lizards.

After performing the rituals, Seth had ten new minions, three birds, two lizards, and four rabbits. Bored of performing the ritual again and again, Seth decided to go exploring with his minions.

Walking into the forest, the journey was uneventful for a few hours until they got farther into the forest. Here, they started encountering wolves, though Seth managed to avoid them with his birds. After walking for quite some time more, he came across a cave. Inside this cave was a bear.

Here is where Seth decided he'd kill his first powerful minion and perform his second spirit devouring, though it would make the minion weaker.
