Chapter 189

—–

After a bit of slaughter, the spiders were done for. It wasn’t too much of a challenging fight because I just used my Undead to fight. Also, Pyro was able to showcase his strength and blast flames against various of his former comrades.

The entire group gained a saucy amount of Experience Points, and so did I! Who would have known I would get so much EXP by doing nothing at all? This is the life of the necromancer, after all, my daily life is filled with leisure~

Ding!

[Calculating EXP gained…]

[You have slain [Giant Black Plague Spider Soldiers (C+ Rank) (24000 EXP)] x18]

[You gained 432000 EXP!]

[Your Level has increased from Level 32 to Level 33!]

[Your Level has increased from Level 33 to Level 34!]

[All your stats have increased]

[The Levels of some Skills have increased]

[You learned the [Apprentice Axe Warrior: Lv1] Title Skill]

[You learned the [Strong Axe Strike: Lv1] Skill!]

Oh right, I was using the giant Axe I stole from that guy named Leon or Lion… Whatever was his name, the guy obsessed with killing Goblins? Using my shadows to manipulate it, I just hacked some spider heads in the way, I accidentally sliced in half a few of my allies, but they were okay after I used Undead Healing to stick them together again. This spell is like glue for the undead, I swear.

And thanks to that practice, I finally got enough proficiency, and look at that, I just got two amazing Axe Skills! I am really a talented warrioress. I can even fight hordes while sitting in a blazing zombie spider!

Let us see what these two are all about, but if I am perceptive enough, I am sure it might be something about increasing damage and blah, blah, blah, right? Nonetheless, where’s its flavor if I don’t check the blue box?

[Apprentice Axe Warrior: Lv1]

A Title Skill given to someone who had slain a certain amount of living or unliving beings with an Axe and had shown a proper usage of an axe.

This title enhances damage dealt with using an ax by +10% with each level, and it also enhances the innate ability of a person to use the ax.

——

[Strong Axe Strike: Lv1]

By using any type of Axe, you can charge the weapon with Mana and unleash a strong strike with it, doubling the weight of the weapon and dealing +20% extra damage. The power of the Skill increases with each level, and it consumes Mana instantly after usage. Overuse of the skill might cause exhaustion and the weakening of stamina.

——

I see, so it does just what I thought it would do! Does the last one also seem to exhaust me if I use it a lot? Well, I doubt it. I don’t have a body to get tired, nor do I have any sort of Stamina. I am just Mana and Phantom, so that won’t work on me, meaning I can just spam the Skill the same way I can spam Blade Slash to my heart’s content.

I guess weapon-wielding Undead got their hacks. Without the ability to get physically tired, backlash from weapon techniques is non-existent, and they can just continuously use Skills until their Mana runs low, and that’s when they weaken. After all, the lifeblood of the undead is their Mana. It is the fuel that moves us.

But what happens when an Undead capable of draining Mana like me shows up? Well, I turn the entire metagame upside down for the Undead! I never get tired, nor do I run out of mana, so aren’t I incredible? I suppose that’s why I’ve been growing so fast… Heh.

Well, I am going to take a break soon in my village, so I won’t have any more epic fights every single second of my life now. After this spider incident is over, I can safely go back to a leisure life, the daily life of a necromancer… yeah, that sounds like a nice title.

No, no, no, that does not sound click baity enough… How about “The Daily Life of a Ghost Necromancer”… No, how about “The Daily Life of a Ghost Necromancer with a System” yeah, that one sounds way better. I have to always use the keyword System because these stupid web novel pages algorithms never let my favorite authors make normal titles to their novels.

If they even wanted to make their novels read, they had to put up with these stupid keywords… No, wait, I know! The best title would be “Reborn as a Ghost with a Necromancer System”! or some crap like that.

Umu! That’s it!

Now I need to return to Earth and begin publishing it!

…

Hahh… I miss Earth. There was this one page where you could submit your web novels and maybe get them to be read. If you could, then you get a contract, and you can even lock chapters behind paywalls, or well, behind free tickets given every day…

The thing is, my passion for reading obviously transferred to writing, but I never got the chance to get a contract, and most of my novels were never read either, so I was mostly a rookie…

Ugh, there was one time when I joined the Author Discord, but it was filled with assholes everywhere… Every top author was always bragging about how much they earned and constantly talked about money.

God… I also want to make my passion into something that I could earn, but seriously, why did you have to be such asshats? Ugh, screw them!

…Anyways, not like I should care anymore. I am in this new world, so that shouldn’t be of any problem to me. Screw web novels too, and screw books too. They brought my doom!

But I still kind of want to sit down and read a book while drinking some tea… It is a relaxing ritual I used to do.

*SIGH*…

Ah, we are back in the camp!
