Matt the Necromancer has Leveled Up
Matt the Necromancer has Leveled Up
The System looks at Matt’s skeletal frame, and despite Matt’s passive triggering twice, something is wrong.
Matt the Necromancer is unable to revive.
Matt the Necromancer is able to revive.
Matt the Necr-
Matt has unlocked Liche.
Matt the Necromancer is now Matt the Minor Liche
Matt the Minor Liche is reviving-
Matt’s body feels weird. He’s awake, which would be a mild blessing if he believed in the gods. But something isn’t right-
The System rings EXP notifications, which gives him a headache as he presses his head into his hands to ease the pain.
It is then that he notices he doesn’t have “hands” at least not in the traditional sense.
And that he is cold.
And that he isn’t really cold but missing a feeling that should be warmth. The warmth of blood. The warmth of-
Matt SCREAMS! His voice is a shrill echo in a city that is alien and still very much on fire. Matt screams and won’t stop screaming as he is naked, without clothes, skin, or even the exposed flesh and muscles underneath. He is just a smooth skeleton, and his mind just-
He can’t.
He won’t accept it.
HE DIED!
But he is still here. Still alive, an unlife. Matt’s mind goes to his Character Sheet, and if he had a heart, it would stop-
Matt Bringer The Minor Liche
Level 7
Strength : D-
Magic Power : A+
Speed : D++
Defense : D+
Difficulty Rating : D+
Status : Undead
The stats are the name but his title and Status! Matt feels an indescribable rage as the unfairness of his life pours out, and he wants nothing more than to lash out against the nearest person, human or otherwise.
“WHY!” Matt roars, at himself, at the System, at life itself!

Unfortunately, the System, for the first time, talks to Matt directly, “Because you were foolish. Reckless. Greedy. And took shortcuts.”
Matt looks around, dumbfounded and unable to speak. Matt recounts the small but sudden warning against using Acid Rain recklessly. Or the haphazard hiring of mercenaries before he was ready to clear a dungeon himself. Or that time when he chose to pursue the dungeon core instead of cutting his losses.
Matt looks around and sees the strange city, mostly on fire and with strange turtle-like creatures moving sluggishly in the foreground. Some even fall as the smoke rises and the green acid dissipates. Matt is alone.
Well, for about 60 seconds. Then a voice, almost like a dream from a lifetime ago where the hardest problem was a skeleton warrior that wanted to gut him-
“Is that you, Matt?” the voice says cautiously before Matt’s mind puts a name the voice-
“Greg?”
Matt didn’t realize he was sitting. He gets up as the two skeleton warriors approach.
The sight of them shakes him.
Greg’s Orc skull helmet somehow looks even more demonic, as the skeleton has added a black cloak that covers the furs of the orc scouts armor. And the other Skeleton….The word “Doug” echoes in Matt’s mind, which for some reason causes him great irritation along with the hint of sentience inside the rather unintelligent blue glow of his eyes, which seems as menacing as the rest of his body covered in a similar black cloak as Greg’s.
Matt doesn’t know what to say, but then-
Necro Party Hidden Quest - Revive the Necromancer : Has been completed.
Necro Party gains 500 EXP.
EXP Gain has returned to Normal with life-giving Mana from Necromancer turned Lich restored.
Greg the Skeleton Warrior has Leveled Up
Doug the Skeleton Warrior has been rewarded Player Character Status

Doug the Skeleton Warrior has Leveled Up
Greg’s mind spins. “What? That was a QUEST! And what do you mean ‘EXP gain has returned to Normal’!”
The System, if it had shoulders, would have shrugged them. “To expedite the revival of the Necromancer and to ensure the Dungeon doesn’t claim the abnormal skeleton warrior, past EXP gains were funneled to the Necromancer exclusively.”
Greg fumes, “You mean I did all that for NO REASON!”
The System continues, “I believe the abnormal skeleton warrior was appropriately compensated for completing the Quest.”
Greg wants to throw both middle fingers in the air as the news that hundreds of points of EXP were lost hits him like a ton of bricks as he looks around at the now empty city.
“FUCK!”

I AM BRAND
"Fear is only as deep as the mind allows, and the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” -Travelling Poet "It was on a night, ever so dark, that I truly found out what horror was. The way of the profound means nothing, in fact, is not even considered a spec of dust in front of true strength. No mere mortal nor a mere god could achieve such strength, much less rival it. In fact, it wasn't this tyrannical strength I feared so much, it is the one who holds it. I swear by the law on my follower's belief, that I would and will never forget that night for the rest of my life. The true fearsome power held by an unfathomable existence. Nothing in existence should hold such a power, and nothing should have such cruelty and high bearing. I have felt fear and will never forget it. Yet even now, I still feel the phantom pains from the limbs you ate and the heart you crushed; are you satisfied? Titan!." - Unknown God --------------------------------------------------------------- This is the story of BRAND
