《The Once Simple Life of a Dungeon Skeleton》Chapter 10 - The Plan
Advertisement
Spell learned: Create Undead
'Yes! Now I can start my master plan Mother! Mwhahahahaha!'
On the 89th floor of the Warwic dungeon, a skeleton could be seen silently laughing in the bone-covered courtyard of a massive ruined castle. After a while of this, the skeleton stopped and slumped its shoulders.
'Ugh, it's just not the same if can't actually laugh. Anyway, now is time to begin.'
The library I found had books for nearly every type of magic and skill and I managed to find two that would benefit me the most. The first of these books being Necromancy, and the second being Mana Siphoning. Once I learned the Mana Siphoning skill I was able to use the mana contained in the mana cores I had instead of using my own. I don't know how much mana was contained within the cores I had, but I did know that it was more than enough for what I wanted to do.
I grabbed one of the mana cores, placed it inside my chest and activated my Mana Siphoning skill. Then I started the first step in my grand plan, raising all of the dead in this castle. At first it was a bit slow as I could only use the spell to create one undead at a time. But that soon resolved itself as I was able to level up the spell in record time since I had a near limitless source of mana now.

'Oh, so spells can evolve after leveling up past the 9th level?'
Spells ranged from the 1st level to the 9th and depending on the power of the spell, you could start anywhere from the 1st level to the 9th level. Only some spells, as I would find out later, had the ability to evolve after reaching the 9th level.

'Hahaha! Rise my army of the dead!'
By the time the mana core I had was drained dry, I raised the largest (and only) army of the dead I had ever seen.
Class aquired: Necromancer
Aside from the thousands of regular skeletons I had under my control, I also had control of two dragons, three giants, four giant snakes, one giant bird, two giant bears, and many others.
'Good, now first order of business, rebuild this castle!'
I sent out a mental command to all of my undead and they all started moving, clearing the mountains of rubble and rebuilding the walls with it.
'Perfect, now to go and level up, come!'
I ordered my dragons and giants to follow me.
'Ah, are you coming too friend?'
My massive slime friend followed me closely, jiggling in what seemed like an excited way.
'Are you also excited to finally get out of that place?'
We searched for anything living and eventually found one of the many giant bears that lived here.
'Seriously? Why the hell is it always bears? Whatever, kill it!'
I stood on a hill and watched as my minions descended and ripped apart the bear in seconds, the giants suffered some damage but they started slowly regenerating.
'Wow, I didn't think they would be able to regenerate, that makes it even better.'
With that single kill I gained twenty levels and put them all into my Necromancer class.

'Ah, it's not there, my voice...'
I thought that maybe it would appear this time, it didn't. I chose to put both points in my sight and then something happened.
You have chosen the Ability: Sight: IntermediateYou have chosen the Ability: Sight: AdvancedAbilities Upgraded:Life Force Sight: Basic > AdvancedMana Sight: Basic > Advanced
Suddenly the range on my view of life force doubled- No, it tripled. Dozens of life forces suddenly entered my vision, I could see them from so far away. My regular sight sharpened as well, with a little bit of focus I could see much further than I ever thought possible.
'So, it affects all other Sight abilities I have. Now all I have to do is- Ah, so you've finished eating already?'
As though my friend knew exactly what I was thinking it devoured the corpse, leaving only the bones and the mana core.
'Thanks! You've saved me the trouble of trying to ask you to do that.'
I patted my friend and it jiggled again, I raised another minion and grabbed another core, then set off to find more prey.
'Oh, I almost forgot, Mother could you tell me how much time is left now?'
Time remaining for current absorption: 211Y, 9M, 21D
The time lowered drastically again with me leveling up.
'Good, I just need to focus on leveling now.'

Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
