《I Became An Adventurer》Chapter 8 - Power
Advertisement
Before the battle with the Lich Ezra and his skeleton minions...
"Hey Alvollas, you were my father's familiar right. So how were my parents like? I didn't ask cause of all the stuff we were doing." Damion looked over to Alvollas who was flying ahead.
"Your parents were a nice couple, your father and mother were like made for each other. They led a happy life before The Great War." Alvollas settled on Damion's shoulder. Damion looked at the map again to check if they were heading the right way.
"Alvollas, you know why I want to become stronger?" Damion had a serious tone, Alvollas looked at his master.
"I want to do things I like with no restrictions. I want to have a castle, servants, treasures, power and people to protect. I want people to look at me thinking I am a great person. I always hated the feeling that I am weak. I desire to be strong like no one else. I want to have the best life I can." Damion finally told Alvollas what he truly dreamt off, he wanted a true adventure.
"So to help me to achieve those dreams, I need power and having the power to raise the dead to fight for me will be necessecary." Damion clenched his fists as he was nearing Tabark ruins.
Now to the present situation....
Ezra had fully healed from Damion's attack.
Damion thought what were Lichs weak to. Damion finally remembered that undead were of dark magic which is weak to light. Damion smirked under his mask.
"I've got you now you little shit!" Damion roared to Ezra.
[Elemental Enchant: Holy Light Dual Blades]
Ezra sensed the holy aura of Damion's swords and doged quickly. Ezra surprised that the mortal could use light magic.
[Telekinesis activated]
[Greater Strength activated]
[Shadow Step activated]

Damion used telekinesis to stop Ezra from escaping while using shadow step and greater strength to close the distance. Damion finally used his enchanted blades to cut through Ezra.
"Damn- it all" Ezra's mana disappered, he had finally died leaving his death grimoire behind.
"Hah, he finally died. I feel so tired." Damion grabbed the grimoire and sat down while Alvollas had went to heal him.
Grimoires are magic books where spells can be learnt and be written in. Essentially, you can have one grimoire learn magic from another on and the spell you learnt would be transferred to your grimoire. The level of a grimoire depends on the amount of spells that the book has and the advanced spells it has.
[You have attained a new class option, will you choose your class now?]

"I did not want to choose the other class because it would make my stats uneven. Luckily, Necromancer Class is much more balanced than expected.(I mean Ezra was kinda strong too" Damion chose the necromancer class then remembered to check his status scroll.

* - this asterisk will indicate that Damion gained a new skill
"Damn, that's quite the spells from this grimoire, guess i'll use the grimoire from the bandit and transfer the spells. Can't have anyone finding out i'm a necromancer, I guess the only way they would find out is from appraisel."
[Would you like to transfer the spells to this grimoire?]
"Yes" Damion confirmed that all the spells from Ezra was inside his temporary one.
"Master Damion please drink a mana potion you will need it for the reanimation spell now." Alvollas reminded his master as there were good soldiers to be raised, Damion almost forgot that he could gain a powerful here.
"If i'm a level higher than Ezra I can raise him right? And I would be able to raise the same amount of undead as him too." Damion needed to concentrate on the spell for it to work properly.
[Reanimation activated]
Deathly aura came from Ezra's broken bones and resurected again, this time as a servant to Damion.
"Oh my great master, thank you for saving me from the pits of the void." Ezra kneeled down in front of Damion. Damion surprised by Ezra's obdience.
"Are you sure that you can bow your head so readily to me? I killed you not moments ago." Damion questioned Ezra's loyalty. Ezra looked up to his master and said.
"You have defeated me, I admire your strength. You are truly fit to be my sovereign." Damion satisfied with Ezra answer began to continue resurecting the 30 strongest warriors from Ezra's servant. Tabark ruins was a ruin of a small castle was surrounded by graves so he could possibly find a good warrior among them.
"Ho, I sense a powerful aura from this guy." Damion looked at a nameless grave.
[Reanimation activated]
[Leon Gale: Level 43 Class Magic Swordsman]
"Hmm, his skillset is good. Guess I'll take him." Damion seemed happy that he found a high-leveled swordsman for a soldier. Now Damion needed to find a dwarf smith or any kind of smith, he wanted to forge armour for his soldiers later on so he need not rely on anyone else for smithing. It was already evening when he found sll he needed like a smith and other warriors.
"My lord, I have to inform you about what I planned to do before you came." Ezra came up to Damion and knelt down.
'What is it?" Damion was curious of what Ezra had to say.
"It is a place somewhere further north it will only take 30 minutes to get there." Ezra looked to his master and pointed north.
"Hmm, then i'll head there myself. Everyone back." As soon as he ordered the Damion's skeleton soldiers were surrounded by a black cloud and dissapered. Necromancers had the ability to keep skeletons of their choosing and summon them whenever they liked, necromancers could also telepathically communicate with their skeletons even when not summoned. So Ezra led Damion to the place he was talking about. It took half the time to get there with Damion's new strength.
"So this is what you were saying,Ezra?" Ezra was summoned again to lead the way. They were in front of a small cave, Ezra led in front. Damion did not really need light because his senses were sharp enough to see even if it was pitch dark, Ezra was undead so he sensed the mana around the area to get through.
"This is-" Damion was astonished to see what Ezra had led him to.

8 302Tales of Mana
Announcement: I (the author) am currently on a journey through guides, feedback and countless pages of miscellaneous other stuff to improve this work. I will not change the plot, but the style should be improved by a lot. I also intend to give more insights on the world and its characters. Once that is taken care of, this message will be removed. Until then, I wish you keep this in mind if you keep reading. - You know the stories about how some random person get's resurrected as the hero of a fantasy world after dying in their previous one? Well.. Mana may have been revived, but definitely not as a hero. This world does not require to be saved. It has to be changed. However.. how much can something be bent.. before breaking? - Mature tag due to: description of gory scenes. Some violence. This will go down after the first few chapters, but will resurface later on. Example: """"had literally drowned on its own blood"""". No sx scenes. To get some things out of the way: -this is my first submission, and the first story I ever wrote. If you find mistakes, or have something to criticize, please do so, but DON'T just write """"xy = bad"""". Explain me how to improve. Would be nice.
