Necromancer: Divine-Level Summoning Chapter 29
Advertisement
Unlike the previous battles, many of the enemies that Kedan faced this time were Rank 2 or even Rank 3 demons. Only a few of them were of the lowest Rank 1.
But because of the Caged Trap that Kedan used as a free meal, more than 30 Rank 3 of the demons had been killed by Keaton's ghouls and skeleton soldiers, leaving only 10 or so Rank 3s scattered around.
Although most of the Rank 3 demons had been killed, there were still hundreds of Rank 2 and Rank 1 demons.
Under the enhancement of the Centaur Lady's Berserk spell, the four Ghouls were like ferocious tigers that had walked into a flock of sheep, killing the demons until the heavens cried and the earth shook, not even leaving a single piece of of their flesh behind.
However, there was a time limit to the Berserk spell. It could not be applied continuously on the ghouls themselves.
Seeing that the Ghouls were getting surrounded, the deer girl suddenly pushed the mana in her body to release another four Berserk spells.
Keaton immediately took out the Mana Recovery Potion from his Backpack and handed it to the Centaur Lady.
After drinking the Restoration potion, the Centaur Lady's mana quickly rose and returned to her peak state.
Keaton let out a long sigh. Before this, he had thought that he wouldn't need to use any of his restoration potions, but in the end, he was still forced to use this backup plan.
"You don't need to treasure your mana, just release your buffs. I have enough potions here."
After the last mission at the school's Dueling Arena, Kedan had taken 10 bottles of Mana Recovery Potions from the system. After receiving this mission, his system had given him another 10 bottles of Mana Recovery Potions.

At this moment, he no longer treasured these potions. He only wanted to win this battle and obtain his System Shop points.
Soon, with the support of the Centaur Lady's Berserk spell, Keaton's Skeleton Soldiers and Ghouls quickly wiped out all the demons present.
At the same time, Keaton also heard the system notifications.
[Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining x1 Rank 3 soul fragment.]
[Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining x1 Rank 2 soul fragment.]
[Ding! Congratulations to host for obtaining x1 Rank 2 soul fragment.]
...
"System, I want to exchange the fragments for Shop Points."
Looking at the thousands of soul fragments in the system backpack, Keaton called out in his mind.
He now had around 50 Rank 3 soul fragments, over 700 Rank 2 soul fragments, and more than 300 Rank 1 soul fragments.
Based on the system's calculations, a Rank 3 soul fragment could be exchanged for 100 system points, a Rank 2 soul fragment exchanged for one system point, and 100 Rank 1 soul fragments for one system point.
After completing the exchange, Keaton now possessed an additional 5,703 System Shop Points.
This was the first time that Keaton had obtained so many System Shop points. While he had obtained a massive number of points, the battle had consumed a total of seven bottles of Magic Energy Recovery Potion in exchange.
After some thought, Keaton decided to activate a new summoning template to summon a more powerful creature.
"System, unlock the Abyss Snake!"
[Ding! Abyss Snake summoning template unlocked. System points consumed: 3,000.]
"Summon the Abyss Snake!"
[Ding! Abyss Snake has been successfully exchanged, System points consumed: 3,000.]
During the previous exchange, Keaton had 300 system points remaining.
Today, the remaining 300 system points just happened to satisfy the Abyss Snake's summoning requirements.

As soon as he summoned the Abyss Snake, Keaton quickly took out the Contract Stone and forcefully signed the contract with it.
He could finally relax and check out the information about the Abyss Snake.

___________________________________________________________
The Abyss Snake gently lowered its noble head and prostrated on the ground, waiting for Keaton to climb onto its head.
Keaton did not stand on ceremony. He lifted his leg and stepped onto the head of the Abyss Snake. He then recalled the Centaur Lady back into the alternate dimension.
"Target location, 9 o'clock direction, 50 kilometers away, let's go!"
The reason why Keaton came out to surround this group of deviant ghosts today was to challenge a Level 4 Lord of the Demons.
A few days ago, Keaton had stumbled across the lair of an otherworldly demon.
Not only were there a large number of Rank 2 and 3 demons, but there was also a Rank 4 Demon Lord.
With his combat power then, it would be akin to a child facing an adult if he had gone to challenge the Rank 4 Demon Lord.
Therefore, he aimed at another group of demons, with the aim of using the points obtained from the group to exchange for a powerful summoned creature.
Now that he had unlocked the Abyss Snake's template and summoned it, Keaton had more confidence in this venture of this. He wanted to take this chance to annihilate the lair of demons and use them to strengthen himself.
For Keaton, his strongest combat power came from the summoning system.
Thus, he did not need to worry that he could not withstand the pressure of his summons.
Regardless of the summoned creature's rank, once it was summoned by him, he only needed to use the contract stone to forcefully sign a contract, and the summoned creature would become his servant.
As for his Necromancy, under his deliberate choice it had turned into a very powerful support tool. Its purpose was to increase the combat capability of his summons.
Currently, he had a Rank 4 Dark Lord tier creature Abyss Snake, eight Skeleton Soldiers, four Ghouls, and a powerful support which was the Centaur Lady.
Such powerful combat strength was sufficient to sweep through the lair. The only thing to worry about was the Demon Lord.
Very quickly, Keatonn arrived at the location with his army.
This was a valley. Pitch-black river water flowed out of this valley, and the source of the river water's color was the lair of the demons.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.

Pocket Dungeon Lite
Based on the Pocket Dungeon original novel made by Stuckin (I asked for his permission beforehand). I do not know if this could count as a fanfiction as I made up many elements on the go so, for now, I will list this as an original but if Stuckin-sama would like me to change it I will be fine with doing so. This is somewhat of a self-insert but I made sure not to make the MC to OP. Also, the creator of the cover is Vurguy I tried to contact him to ask for permission but couldn't due to technical issues please go support him on Deviant Art and I don't own the picture so if he wants me to take it down than I am completely okay with doing so. As I am an improving author, I am glad to receive any constructive criticism or critical review I just hope that everyone will give me a chance before they yell at me for something or at least tell me what made them angry so I know what the issue is and can figure out how to deal with it. For now, my schedule is 1-2 chapters a week and if I am busy with either work or school 1-3 chapters every 2 weeks. I expect a bunch of chapters at the beginning around 5 or so and for me to continue from there. I will try my best to keep some chapters in storage for any time where I can't write for whatever reason. I will continue to change this part of the synopsis if anything changes in my update schedule. - From a thoughtful Author Pocket Dungeon is a widespread interstellar game that has captivated the attention of many races and civilizations. Nowadays in the 2300s anyone not living under a rock would grow up with a dungeon and learn to manage it over time as they make mistakes along the way. But as all things go there is always an exception and this exception can be found in Nadezhda Ledopad who had an overprotective family that didn't let him interact with anything but those they deemed worthy and safe. This overprotectiveness caused them to forbid him from gaining a pocket dungeon as they knew with his intelligence and specialties in certain fields he would become a strong dungeon master, quickly. This was something his family was very much against as they knew that his competitiveness and duty to maintain the Ledopad family's reputation would push him to win in the competitions that he would inevitably get invited too. This all changed when Nadezh graduated high school and moved to the Celestial Plane capital star as a Prodigal student in planetary conservation (major) and revival of species through DNA transferal (minor). His brother in all but blood Tet schemed to get him into Pocket Dungeons when they got there as no one would keep Nadezh from playing. Nadezh excited to join his peers in this famous game looked forward to doing so. But with this one decision, many futures changed and the Fates laughed as people of strong destinies meet together on this plane. Warning - This will probably contain LGBT+ relationships. You have been warned, I will not tolerate stupidity to the ninth degree in the comment section and I hope that people can be logical enough to GO AWAY if they don't like this kind of thing. If you don't feel comfortable with mature or explicit scenes I will put a warning in the chapters or parts with such and I just wanted all of you to know that this will be a long novel as with most novel I will write in the future so don't expect a deep romantic relationship anytime soon.
