Where is this place?Weed grabbed his rusty long sword and woke himself up.In the waste land where even weeds couldn’t survive, there were skeletons wandering around.“Chuckle.”“Kooehhh.”Skeletons just passed Weed without attacking him because his body was also turned into a skeleton. Balkan Demoph’s Summon brought him here as an Undead.“So I finally ended up here.”Weed was pretty used to Undead regardless of its figures.As he looked around calmly, he caught voices of surprised skeletons.“Whoa, what is this place?”“How did we even get here? I was hunting with my golems…”“Skeletons? Who can summon this many skeletons?”Similar to Weed, these skeletons near the graveyard were having a conversation.“I came from a graveyard near Vitum Castle, you?”“I came here while hunting in Xerathium forest.”“I got dragged suddenly from Bisbek dungeon.”“Xerathium forest… Is your name perhaps Jeanne the Necromancers?”“That is correct.”The skeleton with a little bit of hair claimed her name to be Jeanne. Jeanne was the first one to choose an occupation after Weed enabled Necromancers occupation. She was a famous user as a corpse summoner in Xerathium forest.Jeanne admired Necromancers. The power of raising up so many dead bodies and commanding them.She fell in love with the Undead plays of Weed, that she recorded the quest and watched them over and over. After changing class as a Necromancers, she turned small animals into Undead and swiped the hunting grounds. As an advanced Necromancers, summoning abundant Undeads and ruthlessly hunted.“My name is Bohram the Necromancers.”“Wow, all celebrities. My name is Otem. Anyone perhaps know me?”“Who wouldn’t know about the golem of Otem? You are one of the best Necromancers as well.”“I’m Rashi, just turned Necromancers only one month ago. Nice to meet you all.”Skeletons having cheerful conversations often be seen in a coffee shop!The short, narrow skeleton introduced herself.“Hello, my name is Harien.”“Didn’t expect to see you here.”Harian, was a female user, who had different bone structures from male players.“Why do you think we are all gathered here?”“We were summoned for some Undeads out of sudden… But I don’t know what’s really going on either.”“Whoa, there is something wrong with status. Class changed, stats all different. Everyone check yours.”As Otem finished his sentence, skeleton players brought up their status window.Weed checked his as well“Stat window.”Character NameWeedAlignmentUndeadLevel390AffiliationUndead LegionClassResurrected SkeletonHealth87,389Mana41,821Strength1,453Agility1,293Vitality766Wisdom663Intelligence655

+Death Aura is Active
When becoming Undead, Weed’s Art, Faith, Charm has been converted to combat related stats.
‘Class seems understandable…’
Gathered Necromancers must be surprised.
Because Weed is the only one with ‘Power to Reject Death’, a skill only higher Blood Necromancers can get. Weed have revived a lot from death enough to not be surprised at having his class changed.
“Death Aura, huh.”
One of Balkan’s three skills.
The might of enhancing Undead is active in him.
A skill that shares a part of life, giving monstrous power!
“What’s with the class? It says Resurrected Skeleton.”
“Isn’t this some kind of a quest?”
Then a message popped out suddenly!
Undead Legion Outskirt Guard
In the Navir’s wastelands there are many monsters looking for food.
To protect the Undead Army, take care of the monsters.
Difficulty: D
Limitation: Undeads Only
- Quest cannot be refused.
You have accepted the Quest.
“Balkan?”
“Isn’t Undead Army the most powerful group among Undeads?”
“Oh, it’s the Undead Army from Weed’s adventure. Balkan is a man, no, a Lich known as the best among Necromancers.”
“Before I came here I saw a message saying that Balkan is calling… We must be summoned by Balkan.”
Necromancers finally realized why they were all gathered here. He couldn't blame them for being so slow. They were fine having fun and hunting, then out of sudden being dragged to this place as Undead because of Balkan’s summon. It would sounds absurd to anyone!
Instead of chatting with them, Weed scouted around on the hill of the wasteland.
‘There are so many monsters wandering around’
The place where the Undead Army resides is full of atrocious monsters. Monsters like sharp beasts, rhinos are moving around in a lane. Not far from the waste land is a river. Way past the river, there is Vargo Fortress where Undead Army stays.
Witches, Death Knights, Ghosts, army of Slayers born to battle. Order of Bentler, once a glorious order that came back from the grave after being abandoned by the king and annihilated. Because Undead Army was the best army among the Undead, they consisted of many legendary knights, sorcerers, and monsters from Versailles Continent.
In Vargo Fortress, the Bone Dragons from the Valley of Death were seen. 3 of them!
‘Anyways, what I should do right now is…’
Monsters as big as rhinos. Morghis and Nukalis were drinking from the river, and some were moving to the place where Undead Army fortress stood.
‘It must be to block them.’
Skeletons near the river found monsters. Raising up their rusty long swords, they ran towards Morghis and Nukalis.
“Kueeehhh!”
As they advanced roaring out loud, other skeletons ran toward the river as if something was swaying them.
“For the great Balkan!”
“Undead Army, kill them!”
Weed was able to see the scene from afar. Skeletons ran, getting rammed by Morghis and Nukalis, flying in the air. Morghis and Nukalis ware very vicious gigantic grey beasts! They stomped skeletons and lifted them with horns. But as long as their body isn’t completed crushed, they stood up again and ran in!
“What the, a battle?”
“The quest started already? I’m not even prepared…”
About 450 skeletons, all Necromancers players, reacted as well. It’s hard to see a single Necromancers in a castle and village but when all of them from the Versailles Continent are gathered, they are relatively many. They didn't even get to see each other. They only knew or heard some famous Necromancers. While they were busy talking about Undead and Necromancers, the skeletons already started a battle.
“Shouldn’t we fight as well, for the quest?”
“Let’s go!”
Necromancers joined the battle at the river.
“I’m unable to cast any magic…”
“It’s because we are skeletons now. What should we do?”
“Let’s slice them with swords.”
Necromancers were in the form of standard skeleton Undead, therefore they have to fight with basic swords. Necromancers had characteristics of normal magicians. But because they fight alone along with golems or skeletons under their orders, they learn basic swordsmanship. Because it’s hard to get the very first corpses and sometimes enemies break into the rank of Undead, Necromancers were also excellent in running away!
Necromancers was once a best occupation because they could quickly hunt but monsters were adverse to Necromancers. Because enemies swarm in with such a hostility with intent to kill, Necromancers required combat skills and responsiveness.
“Chaaaa!”
Players attacked but they got rammed in and flew for a moment due to the Morghis and Nukalis. Some succeeded giving damages with swords and the monsters were soon surrounded by players and skeletons.
“Block them!”
“If they get through, we all die!”
On the other side, unsurrounded Nukalis were going rampage. Out of chaos, skeletons were swinging long swords!
“They are fighting pretty well.”
Weed didn't join the Necromancers group rashly. It was more convenient to fight alone and it was advantageous in picking up items. He hated non-party people having to compete for drops with each other.
“If I accepted Lich Shire’s quest…”
It wouldn’t have turned out like this. He would have lead Undead Army’s overall strategy and tactics as Lich the commander not joining the battle as low rank skeletons of Undead Army.
Maybe he shouldn't step into a battle like this.
“Regardless, I should participate in this quest.”
Weed picked up the rusty long sword as if it was a treasure and stepped out
“Kieeehk!”
Following other skeletons, he moved toward the monsters. One thing he was different from others is that he didn't leave the other rusty long swords lying on the ground! Rusty longsword’s attack point varies by monsters and active poison or curses. But they valued at least 3~4 golds. If Weed uses his smith skills to melt it, cleanse with fire and forge a new sword, he can get 1000 golds.
- You obtained a Rusted Long Sword.
- You obtained a section of a Skeleton's rib.
- You obtained a Rusted Long Sword.
- You obtained a bone from a lower limb.
It was vital to pick up any items around. From his past experience as a skeleton, he knew that when you take damage, your life gets reduced along with losing bones. By filling in with other skeleton’s bone you can heal some portion of heath, and it can be used for a unique skill, Bone Throw. It’s nothing compared to arrows of archers but in a short range, it’s very powerful!
Weed ran next to the monsters, butting them from sides and slashed with the Rusted Long Sword. Morghis and Nukali become more violent when they take many damages but they get narrow sighted at the same time. Watching how other Necromancers players and skeletons fight, figuring out monsters’ weakness, and attacking Morghis with their life barely gone was hunting 101 for Weed.
