Necro Master

* * *

It was when the loyalty was suffocating.

There was a fire in the underground cathedral that thought there would be no one.

Pavat!

Pablo!

In the halls of an old castle. At the same time as the faithfulness set its foot there, the torch that was hanging on the wall caught fire for a moment. What you see is an old wall of dirt leaking out around it.

But there was no time to question that the fire had been lit.

Along with him, I heard a bland voice.

[This is where the Paladins used to train.]

But as time went by, the palladines were gone.

[It has now been changed to a place for the introduction of 'challengers’ from Earth.]

"Challenger"?

It's a big, fat thing that I don't understand. But loyalty did not fail. First, I took a breath and waited for the next explanation.

[In the future you will have many challenges.]

[If you die in the process, you will lose your position as a ‘challenger’.]

[You are assigned to a resident somewhere.]

‘Then, even if you die, you will really die. ’

Is that why? I couldn't find any serious writing on the gravestones I was looking at. Maybe because he knew he wasn't really dying.

‘Well, if he's really dead, there won't be time for his tombstone anywhere. ’

But it was not so pleasant to die right away.

About time to keep thinking. Voices continued.

[Challenger's objective is to be 'loyal’.]

[Would you like to become a ‘Challenger’ and challenge God to a position?]

[If you give up the challenge now, you will be immediately sent to a random area where you will live your life.]

I was curious about that.

“Hmm. Is one of those areas part of the world? ”

I thought you might be. You said you were a villager somewhere, so you could go back to Earth. But it wasn't. It was muttering like a soliloquy, but strangely, the answer to the question of loyalty has returned.

[Impossible. Earth's lifespan is less than 20 years away.]

[That's why the humans of Earth have been brought here, and we will elect a god from among the challengers to rule the tribe.]

[Twenty years later, all humans on Earth were on this planet. You will be migrating to Helios.]

It was a friendlier description than I thought. I wonder if he's the one who threatened to enter the cathedral.

But he asked again if he still had the urgency.

[Do you want to challenge him?]

His questions did not immediately open his mouth. Honestly, I didn't like being bothered. It was because it was a concern that living comfortably was the best part. So I suddenly thought, I'll just give the dog a challenge.

But I wondered the opposite. It's said to be a sudden challenge to mystery, but to see how far you can go. There was no grand goal. It bothered me to work hard at something.

‘It's not bad to go where you can. ’

I give up now, but later I lose my position as a challenger due to death. If the conclusion is the same.

‘Challenging is much more beneficial. ’

Of course, I hated annoying things, but the question was harder to bear. Moreover, I hated the loss even more. He didn't tell me what he was going to lose. However, the feeling of loyalty gave a kind of warning.

‘Even if it sounds fair to me right now, I don't think I'm entitled to a challenger. ’

It was better than giving up now and regretting later.

Of course, I didn't intend to do anything out of the ordinary. What you're doing. I made a decision not to make a stupid choice.

‘It's like a game. ’

I thought it was worth it if the migration to this place was fixed anyway, and if it wasn't really dying. New experiences have always been fun.

It was about to be concluded. Was it because it was hard to wait for loyalty to continue thinking? The rush continues, as if you won't give me any more time.

[Decide within 30 seconds if you want to challenge.]

[If you do not answer, you are not challenging…….]

His loyalty, of course, answered before he finished speaking.

“I challenge you."

* * *

When we concluded that loyalty was a challenge, we received a response.

[That's all I have to do.]

[Then, the system in Catacombs will guide you.]

The voice changed with a short speech. Did the one who's talking ever change? It was not a dry voice that had been heard so far, but a heavy, dreary voice.

Not only did I hear voices, but I also heard a phrase in my vision.

[Catacombs]

[Basement Level 1 - Time of Choice]

[You can choose a total of 3 words for 3 minutes here.]

[Please consider and select your preference, as it is intended to identify your preference.]

[If time is exceeded, the challenger will be disqualified.]

It was a more machine-like system than before. He didn't even give loyalty time to hesitate. It only marked the time remaining at the top of the field of view.

[Remaining time: 2: 59.]

A lot of words came to mind around me. It's literally a lot of words. The words wrapped around the loyalty.

Pure will, belief, anger, soul, nature, revenge, pillage, murder, justification, creation, tracking, protection, harmony, hunting, protection, cooking, healing...

There were so many words. It was hard to read all the words. But within moments, loyalty felt strange.

‘The letters are different sizes. ’

The writing around him, including his front, was similar in size and fairly large. However, as I looked down, the size of the words decreased. Writings at the height of the knee were hard to read even with two eyes.

“Then I told her to make the right choice. ”

Suddenly, I remembered the tombstone I had seen before coming into the church. Especially the text that says you have to be good at choosing tendencies. The text did not leave my mind.

‘Then it is clear that the three words you choose here will lead to a job. ’

Other information came to mind.

‘If I make a wrong choice, I regret it greatly. ’

But the system didn't give me time to think.

[Remaining time: 1 minute 30 seconds.]

Unlike the last one, there were no warnings. Suddenly, the loyalty to see the remaining time decided quickly.

“To be honest, the big letters look like they're safe bread. ”

But I didn't like the word. Small words to the knee position were the last, and beyond that words were not visible. I glanced at the words that were tightly packed together. However, I washed my eyes and looked for them, but in the end it was the same. There was no word that mattered to me.

“Hmm... I might just decide like this..." ”

There were too many choices.

‘I mean, other people might get drunk while they struggle. ’

If you keep asking questions here, so will you.

[Remaining time: 30 seconds.]

After checking the remaining time, the loyalty loosened the neck back and forth to make the final decision.

‘I have to choose carefully, but I don't even have time to hesitate.... ’

It was then.

A slight back bend in the neck for a moment to think. I saw a very small, faint piece of text above my head. There were no other words around. Just a small, faint word that seems to be going away soon, comes to mind carefully. You never would have found it if you hadn't opened your eyes properly.

Immortality

The loyalty of seeing the word unconsciously opened his mouth. I felt strongly that I must choose something like this. Of course, he didn't open his mouth to make a choice right away.

“Wealth, immortality…? ”

However, even though it was a word for a moment, the system immediately considered the choice.

[You have selected 'Immortal’.]

[Please select the remaining words as well.]

[Remaining time: 24 seconds.]

The loyalty to the system's response quickly shuts up.

What, were you chosen just to say the word? ’

Now I understand why there was a record of making the wrong choice in the gravestone I had seen before. If you make a mistake here, you will eventually choose that word.

Somehow, the faithfulness quickly rolled its head. It was clear that I had accidentally found something good.

‘There was a rare word on my head. Then...? ’

There is no hesitation. The loyalty quickly looks down. I couldn't see any more writing under my knees. But move your feet sideways in place.

A hidden word appeared as expected. It was funny hiding under my feet.

A word contrary to immortality.

Death

Though they didn't seem to fit at all, loyalty quickly opened its mouth. Time was constantly shrinking and the word was very hard to find, so I thought I'd make a choice for now.

“Death……! ”

Then the system spoke.

[You have selected ‘Death’.]

[Now please select the last word.]

[Remaining time: 12 seconds.]

The ceiling and the floor. I saw both of them. I looked around to see if there were any other hidden places.

But no new words were seen. Of course, among the many words in the front, there was a flavorful word.

< Summon >

“I'm sure if I choose that word, I'll be able to summon like a legion.... ”

It was unconscious. Honestly, if there are no other interesting writings, I'm willing to make a choice. However, the system has given a completely unexpected answer.

[You have selected ‘Legion’.]

Originally, the word 'summon’ should have been chosen. But before I could say the word "summoning," I said the word "legion." The system recognized the words of the former.

[Congratulations.]

[Words that are not revealed.]

[You have opened the Legion.]

The words of the system froze with a mouth of loyalty.

‘ ……! ’

I can't believe you were able to choose even the words you didn't see. It was an unexpected situation. Whether the loyalty was surprised or not, the system continued to speak.

[The "Legion" will then be added to the challenger's selection.]

At the same time, the word Legion appeared before the eyes of the faithful. Then I slowly started moving somewhere. The word 'Legion’ was smaller than the ‘immortality’ or ‘death’ chosen by loyalty.

At the same time, I realized loyalty.

“The size of the letters has changed with the frequency that people choose. ”

Perhaps the idea was the right answer. Of course, the sound of the system continued whether the fidelity uncovered new facts or not.

[The word you selected will be listed as a talent.]

[Congratulations.]

[You got a job no one ever got]

[The Necromancer was the first to enter.]

"Necromancer."

It was a job I had never thought about. Knowing the absurdly loyal job, the system has explained the job.

[The Necromancer was originally a shaman who studied corpses to deal with immortality.]

The so-called Necromancers who studied the corpses were later called Necromancers.

[And so they came together to form Necro City, and to form a large group.]

It was a job I had no idea about, but the system even told me the details of the origin of the job.

[So I studied immortality in Necro City, but after a long time of research, I couldn't find the answer.]

[But after repeated studies, they were able to finally have complete anatomical knowledge of the cadaver, and at the same time to deal with the undead.]

The bodies of the Necromancers continue to grow.

[At the same time, the power of a powerful shaman increases, so that the power of an individual can never be matched by the power of a country.]

I really needed to hear about the origin of the job. But it will be better than not listening. I didn't know what it would do for me if I understood anything about my job.

[Although Necromancers have become powerful, they are never evil.]

[They're just a group of pure scholars researching immortality.]

[You took your first step in their path.]

[Please remember the aspirations of unsuccessful necromancers.]

Whether or not the system continued to inform the loyalty of new information.

[The status window is now available.]

Status window?

I just remembered the word "status window." However, the status window really appeared in front of the eyes of the faithful. It's like looking at a character's status window in a game. Of course, the status window of the loyalty was very poor.

StatusWindow

Name: Choong-ryung Lee

Job: Necromancer

Talent: Immortality

It was time for that loyalty to take a look at his status window. The system's voice is still not finished.

[Since you got your first job, you will receive an extra one in addition to the default skill book.]

[Skill book covers show talents related to skills.]

The system was so clumsy that it seemed like it was a friendly explanation.

[Of course, you can only learn things that belong to your talents.]

[If your talents are marked, but similarly irrelevant talents are marked together, they will weaken even if you can acquire them. Please refer to the skill book you will get in the future.]

In closing, loyalty was given two books.

[Obtained ‘Immortal's Skill Book'.]

You obtained [‘Death and Legion's Skill Book’.]
