Chapter 6

Episode 6. Possibilities, money and family

Skeleton Soldier.



It is a tier 2 skeleton.

It was a skeleton that could only come out when at least the next level of the basics, beginner necromancy.

‘I wasn’t wrong either. The Easter egg was true.’

The Skeleton Soldier stood up and scanned his body as if he were a human.

After examining his arms and legs carefully, he moved them around as if checking his athletic abilities.

In the meantime, I checked the guy’s information.

[Skeleton Soldier (Legendary)]

―Nickel Life Heal

―Undead

―Tier 2

―Attribute: Ego/Extreme: Sword 劍

Extreme.

I never would have imagined that a skeleton would see that phrase.

This is a trait that I only saw when I raised my playable character to the middle and late stages.

The only trait that could be obtained through growth.

It was a characteristic that allowed me to receive all sorts of corrections related to the extreme.

‘It’s only a 2-tier Skeleton Soldier, but it’s an extreme. I don’t know how strong it will be.’

Since I had never raised a necromancer, I honestly had no idea.

Of course, I’ve never met an enemy in the game.

However, even among the black magicians, there were only a handful of necromancers, so I didn’t meet that many.

‘The necromancer is so taboo. They are despised even among black magicians.’

Adrias doesn’t know why he set foot on this thorny path.

If I recall, it was right after the death of the predecessor Earl Cromwell.

‘Perhaps he jumped in to escape from reality.’

Karon’s talk also played a part.

When his father passed away and his heart was weak, it was excellent to gently seduce him.

How talkative that quiet, sober fellow was when he seduced Adrias.

‘Well, in the end, I became something like his servant.’

The reason why Adrias dies is mostly caused by acting as a hindrance to the player under Charon’s orders.

Or, conversely, kill while blocking players who interfere with Charon.

‘Anyway, there is only one conclusion.’

I had to get away from Charon if I wanted to survive.

There are many ways, but the first priority is to be strong.

At that time, a skeleton soldier who had finished checking his body approached me.

“okay. I am your master.”

Is it a little bit harsh to call him a Skeleton Soldier?

Besides, he was not an ordinary skeleton, but an Aura Master.

Let’s call it nickel from now on.

“I’m counting on you. nickel.”

– Exactly! right!

I don’t know what to say, but it was a positive feeling.

Nickel, who kept moving his jaw and crackling, suddenly started drawing something in the air.

handwriting?

“Do you want me to ask you?”

– Just perfect, just perfect!

Seeing the skull nodded with a serious look, I laughed out loud.

Skeletons can express their thoughts.

Probably not even Morn, the strongest necromancer at the moment.

“okay. He’s the world’s Aura Master, but that’s enough. You will feel unfair if you die as soon as you become an Aura Master, but from now on, become famous even under me.”

Of course, becoming famous under me will only increase your notoriety.

Nickel nodded at my words and made a circle with her index finger and thumb.

Even that look was serious, like a comedy.

I don’t know what it was like, but it was clear that it was showing favor to me, the summoner.

Now that Nickel has been successfully summoned, let’s clean up and go out.

[Currently, 0/5 exists in the summon space.]

[Do you want to unsummon a Skeleton Soldier?]

The moment I thought about putting the nickel back in the carrier, a familiar phrase appeared.

“What is it, even necromancers are classified as summoners?”

It was a phrase I was familiar with because I had played Summoner once.

That way, you don’t have to bother hiding it.

I immediately unsummoned Nickel.

Then, a black space appeared out of the air and swallowed the nickel and disappeared.

Can I be summoned?

[Currently, 1/5 of the summons exist.]

[Do you want to summon a Skeleton Soldier?]

When summoned again, Nickel appeared unconcerned.

‘Instead, mana is running out.’

It was no-cost when canceling the summon, but mana was used in the opposite case.

With this summoning, mana was showing the bottom.

‘Thanks to that, my chances of surviving have increased. If I don’t get caught, the risk of death will decrease.’

I thought it was a player-only perk, but thinking about it, other necromancers also summoned the undead from the air.

It seems that this summoning space is a common ability for all summoners, as they summoned much stronger guys separately than just reviving dead bodies.

* * *

A guy who goes to the academy and doesn’t earn money, but just writes.

‘I can’t even beat the academy... ... .’

As long as he decided to become stronger, studying magic and training at the academy was the fastest way.

Even though I was a third-year student, I had to prepare for graduation in two more years.

“What is it? How long have we been seeing each other?”

Amy looked at me with sparkling eyes, unaware of my speed.

Come to think of it, it was always like this.

This guy stayed by Adrias’ side and supported him no matter what kind of fool he did.

Ah, guilt seems to come out of my mouth.

“Sorry. I don’t get it often.”

“huh? uh uh... ... .”

My words must have been abrupt, Amy answered with a puzzled expression.

However, it soon turned into a suspicious expression.

“What else are you asking for?”

“Oh hmm. That’s it. I need some money... ... .”

I can’t speak any more.

Feelings of shame and guilt soared to the sky.

I just have to find another way. I can’t open my hands to Amy.

“Eh. Then it is. Wait a minute.”

“Oh Amy. It’s just fine. It’s just what I’ve said.”

“Why not be like an older brother? Stay still. I’ll be back soon.”

As she left the break room, I folded my outstretched hands in dismay.

Unconditionally unconditionally, this potion must hit at least a medium beat.

“Don’t let a drop of water get on my brother’s hand... ... .”

Come to think of it, it was the first family I ever had.

When I was Kim Jinhwan, I had no family.

I was an orphan and everyone around me was just a competitor.

In the meantime, he enlisted under the guise of resources for a special forces project secretly implemented by the government.

The colleagues I met there were the only ones who felt like family, but most of them died during the operation.

‘If you think like that, there’s no difference between there and here.’

It was not different from living the same life.

maybe this place is better

At least I had a goal unlike before.

‘Survive. And if it’s possible, I’ll have to live with it. Amy makes me happy unconditionally.’

Then the door to the break room opened again and Amy returned.

“Now here.”

Amy’s hands were rough as she handed over the money envelope.

When I saw it, strong emotions welled up in my body.

Those feelings were anger toward me and guilt toward Amy.

“Whoa.”

I barely suppressed my emotions and got the money.

“thanks. I will definitely call and return it.”

“it’s okay. I can’t do that. Don’t go hungry.”

Suddenly, her gaze landed on my hand.

“brother?”

“huh. why?”

“Where is the ring?”

“... ... .”

what should i answer

As I hesitate to answer for a moment, Amy’s eyes widen.

The atmosphere was unusual.

“I left it for a while in the dormitory.”

“no way... ... isn’t it?”

she said in a trembling voice.

Then he grabbed my arm and shook his head.

“Isn’t it? right? No matter how big the brother is, the ring... ... .”

I tried to move on to lies, but I couldn’t bear to make excuses because I felt like I had already committed too many sins.

Amy, whose eyes turned red as if she had read my expression, cried out sadly.

“Please tell me no. Where is the ring now?”

“Amy.”

“Tell me quickly!”

“that is... ... .”

How do you say it was spent buying a corpse?

I couldn’t answer at all.

“... ... get out.”

“sorry.”

“get out. Get out now. And don’t come back. You don’t even have to give me money back.”

“I will get it back soon... ... .”

Boom!

Amy didn’t listen to my excuses and walked out of the break room.

The Amy in my memory had never been so angry in her life.

My heart was numb.

Is this emotion Kim Jin-hwan’s or Adrias’?

“ha.”

My heart was filled with lamentation and regret.

If I can make money from potions, I have to get the ring back first.
