Chapter 7
The serpent man and the humans are staring at each other. It’s like the start of an Old Western Showdown.
Me? I’m just chillin here.
“Thiss iss your lasst warning. Leave now.”
“I’m afraid we can’t do that until we take you down.”
“Then sso be it. [Icicle Spear]!”
“Everyone, spread out!”
It seems the attack missed. The humans have scattered about and the Naga has begun weaving through the brush.
Me? Still just chillin.
I am curious who will win this fight though.
The fighting strength of the humans is unknown, so a guess would be impossible.
Is there a side you want to win?
Hmm. I’ve been with the snake, but it’s not like I’m attached to him or anything… but he treats me like I’m important.
The humans… I don’t know their intentions. I guess I want the snake to win?
“Kuh, not bad humanss, but how about thisss?! [Sandstorm]!”
“What the hell?!”
“Look out! It knows advanced magic!”
It’s a random thought, but how come the Naga doesn’t lisp when he says a skill?
There is an autocorrect function that allows a user to say a skill, even if they can’t pronounce it right.
I thought this was fantasy. Get that Sci-fi crap out of here, it’s ruining my experience.
“Jeff! No!”
“Guh!... and to think, after this I was going to ask her out…”
“That’sss one down.”
If he made a promise like that, he should have saw it coming…

Oi, Naga! You need to watch out! That guy almost stabbed you in the chest! Good thing you blocked with your arm.
At this rate, the Naga will most likely lose.
No way!
Maybe if I give him my magic he can power up? Let’s try it.
I try to force my magic into the Naga, but it doesn’t seem to work. It’s like a feeling of being constipated.
Hrrgh! Unnngh! Pffffft!
Skill acquired! [Magic Bestowal] has been added to the skill list.
Uuuuuuhhhhh… Just in time… how refreshing.
“Thiss power--?! I ssee. Regret your actionss humanss, for now you will be desstroyed.”
The Naga held out his hand and energy seemed to gather in it.
“[Seventy- Seven Spiraling Spires of Sandstone]!”
…
What the hell kind of tongue twister is that? And it was said without lisping! I’m starting to suspect he’s a fraud…
“Wh-what insane magic! I thought this was a normal Naga? Could it be a sub-species?”
“Now ain’t the time dude!”
“Hahahaha!!! Behold the power of my blesssing!”
“Rrgh… It’s impressive alright… however.”
“Gaack--?!”
“It leaves you wide open.”
That… is definitely a fatal wound. One of the humans snuck around and stabbed the Naga in the neck.
Lacking strength, I’ve fallen out of his grasp.
The Naga falls to the ground. His eyes are staring at me.
“…Sso thiss iss… the true end… My revenge… Forgive me… my husband…”
I quietly absorb the Naga’s soul…
Huh? Husband?
It was a GIRL?!
Congratulations! Your level has increased by 1! You have been awarded a skill point! You have been awarded 10 stat points! Base stats have increased!
You have 1,589 experience points and are 79% to the next level.
…What can I say, I have mixed feelings about this.

8 156Skeleton Sovereign?
A lawyer, along with ten thousand other people, is kidnapped by the Heavenly Demon of Decay to participate in a campaign against the Monarch of Everglades. The Heavenly Demon of Decay, has chosen these ten thousand people to be the captains of his 100 man squads, saying that beings of lower realms are easier to boost temporarily. Our lawyer didn’t complain much at that. A generic hero summoned to another world setting, he thought. And as he didn’t have any family or much attachment to his previous world, he even liked his situation. But that was until he found out, that the “Heavenly Demon of Decay” was a necromancer. And that he along with millions of other humans, and various beings, were processed into undead soldiers. ‘Well fuck!’, he thought. And after being equipped with high quality equipment, and being robbed of his free will, he marched, along with billions of other horrifying undead, against the Monarch of the Everglades. But his poor luck didn’t end there. The Heavenly Demon of Decay, and his army lost. But the worst part was, they left him behind while retreating. Now, he is stuck behind in a huge jungle, full of various monsters, where every moment he must struggle for his life. But isn’t he already dead? This thought only serves to incense him further. But that is not all to his story, he finds that he is in a different, more powerful world, where wizards, warriors, dragons, dungeons but most importantly “CULTIVATION” exists. Albeit not very Chinese, but cultivation nonetheless. But, can a skeleton even cultivate? Not a native english speaker. So don't expect impeccable grammar. Although I do try my best, this is also my first novel so pointers are appreciated. Haters, just stop reading if you don't like it. Please don't spoil my mood by evil comments.

And over all this looms the shadow of The Stone of Predestination – the greatest weapon ever created. There is no time to lose! The Stone must not fall into the Master’s hands, or something really, really bad would happen. On Karil’s fragile shoulders now falls the burden to prevent the end of the world… or to fulfil the Oracle’s prophecy and destroy it with his own hands.
