Chapter 3: The Late Cheat Codes

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lots of data fell from the top of the screen like a tidal wave to finally form a stat panel:

Ding!

[Skill Book – Corpse Princess, detected. To learn it, prerequisites: Ancient Heber: LV2, Spirit: [1.4]]!

[Prerequisites met. Will you spend 50XP to learn it?]

Thulhu heard the cold, mechanical voice in his mind.

He recalled this panel. The panel was from the shitty game he had played in his last life, and which he had even died over!

Thulhu didn’t know what to say. The cheat codes in this world had come too late. He felt that the world had become very hard for him to face.

He had some rough guesses, of course. After the mental stimulation, he had regained the memories and finally integrated with this body. From another perspective, perhaps the cheat codes would only emerge after he really became part of this world. There was definitely some kind of connection.

Of course, this book page could also be one of the reasons.

All in all, there were so many mysteries waiting for him to explore.

Corpse Princess? The panel said it was a skill, which meant… extraordinary power did exist. The elder brother of the previous owner of this body, Roald, had decided to give this to Thulhu. But why? Where did this come from? Did having this thing mean that great danger was coming?

Thulhu’s instincts told him that there was something wrong about this!

The elder brother suddenly wrote to him after four years, and a book page on evil black witchcraft was attached to the letter. This was so obviously problematic!

What was more important was that he had no idea where to get XP. Did this mean experience? From what? Killing monsters?

Thulhu was totally lost.

Of course, if this was a game, he could just go to some dangerous cave and carelessly kill all the horrible monsters he saw. However, now that this place had become so real to him, he didn’t want to lose his life for nothing.

At that moment, a stream of cold air flowed through his body from his fingers on the page. The cold air chilled Thulhu.

Then, the numbers on the light screen in front of his eyes started changing: +1, +1, +1…

“This is…!”

Thulhu finally realized: this was the same as in the online game he had played previously. Finishing tasks and beating monsters gave the player experience, and so did reading and practice!

Maybe the panel had just taken in some kind of power from this paper.

Thulhu tested it out seriously. “System! System?!

“Mission?

“Come on, give me some…!

“Shit!”

Finally, Thulhu realized that the character panel was the only thing from the game that had followed him here. These cheat codes weren’t impressive at all!

…

After a while of trying, he had to accept the reality.

There was no mission system, no system helper, no AI. Nothing!

“Alright…”

Thulhu muttered to himself, but he also felt more relaxed at the same time. Shawn once commented that he had “a cold face but a wicked tongue,” which was true. However, Thulhu’s heart in fact longed for freedom. Thus, he wouldn’t want a game helper living in his mind and giving him mandatory missions.

When he was testing that out, his XP had slowly reached 50. The airflow from the book and into his body had stopped.

Thulhu took a deep breath. “I gotta try this.”

When the window popped up again, Thulhu instantly chose “YES” decisively!

“Confirmed – Skill learned: Corpse Princess!”

As soon as Thulhu made the decision, his XP instantly dropped back to 0 again.

Meanwhile, Thulhu moaned. He felt as if someone had just hit his brain with a brick as a lot of knowledge poured in, all of it to do with the black witchcraft, Corpse Princess.

…

“Corpse Princess is the most basic black witchcraft ritual. Ingredients required: a female corpse, the blood of the caster… Caution: Male corpses won’t work!”

“When drawing the magic circle, pay attention to the pentagram’s position. The tips should be aimed at the dark constellations in the sky to increase the chances of success…”

“A corpse princess doesn’t have intelligence, and its overall combat power is low. In most cases, a corpse princess is just a servant. However, the power of a corpse princess will increase correspondingly with the caster’s own power. A higher level corpse princess can be used in combat.”

…

Thulhu covered his head with his hands. This time, the surge of knowledge felt completely different.

Earlier, he had simply recalled the memories of the previous Thulhu.

This time, however, it felt like someone had just cracked his head open and crammed the knowledge into it!

The pain was almost intolerable!

Thulhu ground his teeth to prevent himself from crying out bitterly.

Gasping hard, he finally felt a bit better after several minutes.

He looked at the book page again, and found that he understood everything on it. Thulhu even wanted to give it a try now!

He looked at the panel, and found the expected change:

[50XP consumed. Skill learned: Corpse Princess. Current level: LV1!]

Thulhu now saw [Corpse Princess LV1] in the skills section.

Thulhu gently touched the section using his will, and more information came out: [Corpse Princess LV1: Raising a female corpse temporarily through a ritual; low success rate.]

It was true!

Thulhu clenched his fists.

Taking a deep breath, he folded the page again and put it back in the envelope. He then stood up.

Looking around, he saw several other students on the lawn. The closest one was about a dozen meters away from him, lying in the shade and snoring.

Fifty meters away was a couple sitting on the lawn and enjoying their picnic.

The sun was still bright overhead.

No one knew that just now, a young man had just confirmed the existence of wizardry!

The world… was going to change…

That was what Thulhu thought as he walked away.
