《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.

Touch: Intermediate
'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.'

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest
Oh great hero! The evil Demon Lord has once again arisen to terrorise our lands, and we have summoned you to save our people! No, we don't want you to fight the demon lord! Of course not; we're the good guys! What sort of good guys kidnap people from other worlds and force them to take part in wars that have nothing to do with them? That would just be plain evil! We'd be no better than the demons! Katie, after her summoning by an excessively loud mage suddenly takes an unexpected twist, is sent off on a simple fetch quest, with a promise that she'll be back home in five minutes at most. She doesn't even need to leave the building. Alas, when a goddess' blessing causes her wish for an actual adventure to be taken rather more literally than she expected, she finds herself lost in a dark cave, far away from the sword she was supposed to acquire and far too close to a population of giant bugs. Still, at least she wished her life wasn't in any danger. Among other things. Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it. This is a dark litRPG adventure, both in terms of Katie accidentally wishing all the lights out, and also in that she loses as often as she wins, often with horrific and disturbing consequences. Luckily, Katie isn’t the sort of person to let a mere grizzly death or two get her down, and is prepared to try, try and try again to get her hands on the holy sword and finally complete her ‘simple’ fetch quest. Or perhaps—with a few resistance skills under her nightie—she might even come to enjoy losing. Not that she’d ever consider forgoing revenge, even if she did. I’ve ticked all the content warning checkboxes for this one. There’s no explicit sexual content, but there are enough references to justify the warning. Profanity happens rarely, but Katie isn’t averse to swearing when she gets particularly angry. As for gore/trauma, it doesn’t get much worse than the first few chapters, but there will be occasional chapters that have extra content warnings.
