Chapter 54: Childhood Dream: Necromancer

[One element detected: Origin Necromancy based advance element- Shadow Divination (???)]

As Kritos heard the voice, a stun expression appeared on his face.

He never heard about this element, but he clearly knows the meaning of Necromancy.

Necromancers are wizards who communicate with and perhaps even summon the dead.

When he was a child, he heard about them and stories about them through the Village elder.

But in the present day, Necromancy is illegal and banned in the whole Kingdom. Anyone who will do a ritual or black magic is destined to be killed by the Royal army.

In childhood, Kritos heard a famous story about an evil lich killing people, especially children.

The name Lich brings horror to any child's face, an evil, cruel, and wicked devil who loves to drink the blood of the child. , 

Child!

It was just a way for the parents to fear their children when they don't listen or don't sleep at night.

But what surprises him that when he listens to anything about Necromancy in childhood, a glow emerges every time. 

Rest, sleep and eat, and your loyal dead servants do all your work. 

Well, isn't it was his great dream in childhood.

However, Kritos know Necromancy wasn't just limited to the summoning of death. It is divided into many parts. 

Necromancy is the practice of magic involving communication with the dead – either by summoning their spirits as apparitions, visions or raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events, discover hidden knowledge, to bring someone back from the dead, or to use the dead as a weapon. Sometimes referred to as "Death Magic", the term may also sometimes be used in a more general sense to refer to black magic or witchcraft.

Maybe Kritos was interested in Necromancy in childhood, but now, it's different.

Most probably, every kingdom hates the practice of Necromancy. The practitioners of Necromancy were jointly killed by the Kingdoms in the age of witchcraft, and all kingdoms forbade the use of black magic.

"Choosing an element belonging to the Necromancy path would be a foolish decision." Kritos murmurs

'Most people see necromancers as menacing, or even villainous, due to the close association with death. Not all necromancers are evil, but the forces they manipulate are considered taboo by many societies.' Kritos thought about his father's answer. It was the words his father said when he asked, Are all necromancers evil?.

Kritos looked at the screen and asked System about the element Shadow Divination.

[Ding…]

[No information found…]

This time anger erupted from Kritos mouth, "Then how do you even know its name?"

After a brief second, no replies come back from the System. Finally, Kritos decided to ignore System's foolishness. 

Previously he was in a good mind to create talent in Law and element, but now, a confusing look occurs in his complexion. 

Nonetheless, he doesn't have time to waste; the challenger league will probably begin in a few months. 

Kritos focuses his mind on the talent creation tag, and suddenly, a box shape screen appeared in front of the vision.

"A talent of the Time Law," Kritos stated.

Just a second after, a familiar voice rings in his mind.

[Ding…]

[Creating Talent...Loading...]

Within a few seconds of wait, Kritos again heard the familiar voice in his mind

[System Prompt…]

[Time element(Lowest grade Talent): A rare and frequent incarnation of energy or magic. Time belongs to the group of Elements of Change, governed by the Avatar of Change, and is also compatible with Life and Death elements. A law that frightens the rules of the universe. Mostly Time element used in the trick skill and strong support.]

'That's what I wanted, hehe!' Kritos murmurs 

However, suddenly he again heard a voice and a screen pop in his vision.

[Ding…]

[Do the host want to obtain this talent for 400 SP]

Kritos twisted his face and asked, " Are you sure, System? You must be joking. Right!"

[Ding…]

[No]

With some difficulty, Kritos awfully said," No, Cancel it."

Kritos painfully saw the popped screen disappearing from his field.

He can't foolishly choose a law that cost him almost the whole present SP.

Laws element can't be practiced or used in Low cultivation. They required a high understanding of high Realm. So, in the early Realm, Kritos could not use Time Law.

He thought that they would cost him mostly 200SP, but it was double. 

Kritos couldn't forget that other than creating talent, it's necessary to comprehend the law, and it would cost him some SP.

However, he had already planned if the cost of Law element talent will be high. He would use his plan B.

"System, show me the cost list of whole elements," 

[Ding…]

[Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Nature (100SP)]

[Death, Life, Reality, Time, Gravity, Space, Destruction, Chaos(400SP)]

[Ice, Lava, Dark, Mind( pseudo law ), Snow, Lightning, Smoke, Sand, Metal, Poison, atom, Sound, Blood, Shadow, light(300SP)]

Kritos saw the screen, he thought for some minutes, and eventually, he decided to pick one element of 300 SP and one from 100 SP.

Kritos knows that to understand the essence of an element and advance elements before assigning them into his created soul beast, he first has to increase his other existing talent, Instant Memorization.

Before upgrading, Instant Memorization, Kritos decided to create the element talent, and then in the morning, he would go to the Clan library 4th floor, where he could lend these two books.

Understanding of Basic elements and other books Understand of Advance Elements.

Both of the books are divided into many parts, and to comprehend any of its parts, an ordinary human takes almost two months. But for him, after upgrading his talent, Instant Memorization will probably take 2-5 hours.

***

The morning sunlight began to trickle in through the openings in the curtains. Kritos legs were overheating in the places where the sunlight fell directly on them. He tried to curl up to move them out of the light but accidentally, the left leg niche was in the air.

Thud!!!

In pain, Kritos opened his eyelids and continuously saw the ceiling above him.

"Again, how many times I'm going to fall off from the bed," Kritos murmurs and sighed.

"Looks like I have to change the position of the bed. It's embarrassing to fall from the bed at this age. If anyone heard a little about it, I would die in embarrassment."

After creating the elements and installing them into his body, Kritos was exhausted due to the pain. 

What amazed Kritos that after the implantation, he didn't feel any change in his body.

It was like these two-elements don't even slightly affect him. Perhaps it is because they were the lowest grade.

"Today, after eating, I will visit the Clan Library, and from tomorrow onwards, I'll start my cultivation journey," Kritos muttered and excitedly smile.
