What turned into the that means of this surprising slap to the back of his head?
the entirety was going nicely, so why did ‘Necromancer’ pop out as opposed to the expected ‘assassin’??
Jin-Woo dazedly stared on the message. He even rubbed his eyes numerous times, however not anything modified.
[Your Class has been set as ‘Necromancer’.]
The message nonetheless floated up there, unchanging.
He couldn’t accept as true with it at the start, then he have become truely indignant subsequent.
‘I’ve by no means even touched the Intelligence Stat, so what the hell?!’
just how did he turn out to be with an extraordinary magnificence no longer even found among infinite Mage-kind Hunters inside the global??
From the moment Jin-Woo woke up as a rank E Hunter, he become continually a close-quarters fighter. with the exception of the steel longsword, he constantly used daggers, and the competencies he were given till now had been ideally fitted for the function of an assassin.
That was why he hadn’t even concept of the possibility that his magnificence might come to be belonging to a unique type altogether.
It changed into a magic-kind, no less… No, more than that, a Necromancer!!
His expertise of different training got here from video video games, however even then, he knew enough approximately what being a Necromancer entailed.
a dark-searching mage, and an navy of undead following that dude.
no matter how much he thought about it, that image just didn’t correlate to him in anyway.
Jin-Woo frowned deeply and shook his head.
‘….allow’s loosen up, first.’
even supposing his mind were complex, his responses have to be calm.
Being calm and funky-headed have been Jin-Woo’s last weapons. He controlled his rage and regained his cool head soon afterwards.
‘dangle on, isn’t this….’
Denial, then rage.
He unexpectedly felt like he became acting like a affected person who simply heard the prognosis of terminal contamination, and turned into going thru the so-known as five tiers of grief.
‘Rage… then, it’s presupposed to be negotiation, is it? Or was it compromise?’
Of course, there was no way he’d be allowed to negotiate or come to a compromise with the system.
If he were to think about the advantages of being a Necromancer, then…. just as the gadget alluded to, he may want to create his very own military? about that a good deal?
‘nicely, the problem right here is that military will consist of skeletons and rotting corpses.’
If he walked round with such an military, the complete global could be up in palms in no time.
Hunters had been already the gadgets of aspiration and fear, yet he changed into being requested to come to be a Hunter who ought to lead around an military of the departed….
in no way mind the question of this magnificence being appropriate to him or not, he wasn’t even confident of handling the fallout from that.
Tti-ring.
[Will you accept this Class?]
The device demanded his solution.
What a alleviation that turned into.
‘i can nevertheless say yes or no…..’
Jin-Woo spat out a sigh.
If the class wasn’t compelled down his throat, then that intended there was any other opportunity for him. If he nevertheless had any other shot, then there has been no purpose to sweat so much proper now.
Jin-Woo gladly (?) refused the notion.
“No manner.”
while he did that, the message asked him once more.
[The ‘Necromancer’ is a hidden class. Will you still refuse?]
although it became asking the identical component for the second time, he found himself unable to quick answer lower back.
He turned into now hesitating.
‘A hidden class… is it?’
That term might sound like some thing directly out of a online game, but still, there were Hunters with uncommon and extraordinary skills even in truth.
inclusive of, Hunters who could create ‘Shields’, or buff others. Or, even…
‘….The grasp of White Tiger Guild can seemingly remodel into a monster, too, in keeping with the rumours.’
All the ones Hunters with uncommon and odd capabilities were now taking part in a remarkable deal of unique remedy after being scouted through the largest Guilds available.
‘could this hidden elegance component be the same component because the special competencies those Hunters own?’
If that have been the case….
‘this can be an possibility, alternatively.’
all at once, this kind of thought popped into his head. The system did say some thing approximately this just now.
‘I thirst for energy, and that’s why it’s recommending the elegance of Necromancer to me.’
In different phrases, the elegance of Necromancer had the ability to be simply powerful.
when considering the reality that maximum of the Hunters with rare competencies take place to belong to ‘help kind’, this will be visible as pretty an encouraging element for him, certainly.
A Hunter with a unprecedented skill that would immediately input any conflict.
His coronary heart began beating only a little bit quicker just from thinking about that.
‘If I may want to only get to experience the elegance of Necromancer just for a piece, I wouldn’t even want to weigh my options this a lot.’
but, could anything in this world be that clean?
there has been no way the subjects of this global could revolve in step with his desires, and worse nonetheless, he had never heard of all people possessing an ability similar to that of a necromancer.
The issue became, one wouldn’t be capable of find a mage who commanded its personal military, initially.
just as his thoughts ended there…
‘…..Oh.’
Jin-Woo took a sweeping study all the damaged remnants of the knights strewn about this place.
‘the ones mages!’
One may want to say that those mages in the magnificence exchange Quest had been the use of kind of the equal capacity as a Necromancer.
those knights had been their military, in different phrases.
‘For positive….’
It become absolutely very hard to fight all those knights who attacked him with whole push aside for his or her personal lives.
If he didn’t parent out the way to combat them until the quit, or if the mages possessed very high near-quarters combat skills, then….
‘the one mendacity on the floor right now could be me rather than those scrap steel bits.’
Jin-Woo stopped searching on the knights and raised his head.
A positive appearance of dedication flashed by means of in his eyes.
‘I already own the close-quarters combat capability.’
which means, he was different from the ones mages.
What if there was a mage possessing splendid hand-to-hand fight skills who additionally passed off to command an military? Wouldn’t that be the worst of all worst feasible nightmares for his enemies?
‘What if….’
some thing he should most effective reflect onconsideration on but couldn’t do – wouldn’t it be possible for him to enter a dungeon rated B or higher on my own and clean it now?
Jin-Woo silently swallowed his saliva.
If he have been allowed to continue raising his Stat values after becoming a Necromancer, then obviously, the military underneath his command could additionally grow even extra effective than earlier than.
He couldn’t even begin to believe the impact of that.
‘It’ll no longer be most effective me levelling up.’
His own military would be levelling up, too.
‘Wait. may want to this be….?’
all at once, a chill ran down his backbone. Jin-Woo raised his head and looked at the floating message. It became nonetheless patiently expecting his selection.
[The ‘Necromancer’ is a hidden class. Will you still refuse?]
in contrast to how it became commonly, the device wasn’t urging him on. Jin-Woo couldn’t assist question its reasons in his thoughts.
‘is this what you wanted from me?’
Of route, no replies came to him.
After a prolonged deliberation, Jin-Woo made up his mind.
If it become giving him strength, then he’d receive it with open hands.
He no longer hesitated.
[Will you accept this Class?]
“i will.”
as if it become waiting, the machine at once displayed the subsequent messages.
Tti-ring.
[Your Class has been set.]
[You will now be given the opportunity to change to a higher ranked version of this Class through the amount of advancement points accumulated.]
[Calculations have begun.]
[Tallying up your advancement points….]
even as that turned into occurring, Jin-Woo unwrapped the bandages from his proper hand.
He’d been preserving the dagger so tightly that his palm had swollen up instead painfully.
“nicely, I’m gonna get blisters now.”
He lightly clicked his tongue.
one of these wound might’ve been taken care of with a drop from the recovery potion, however now not being capable of use one changed into proving to be as a substitute inconvenient in numerous ways.
He finished unwrapping the bandages and become about to shop the Knight Killer again in his inventory, while he heard but every other mechanical beep.
Tti-ring.
Jin-Woo reflexively raised his head.
[You’ve exceeded the expected time limit!]
[Bonus points will be granted.]
Bonus factors, it stated. but, that was alternatively apparent, wasn’t it?
‘not certain how lengthy turned into the predicted time, but properly, I did endure for pretty a long term, didn’t I?’
He commenced smirking in pleasure, then all of a sudden, numerous messages inundated his vision.
[You did not use Immediate Return Stone!]
[Bonus points will be granted.]
[Your remaining HP is over 50%!]
[Bonus points will be granted.]
[You eliminated all the enemies!]

[According to the Contract, you will be given a special reward.]
Tti-ring, tti-ring, tti-ring.
‘What’s this?’
His ears hurt from all of the beepings, but Jin-Woo’s recognition was constant some other place and didn’t care anymore. As a depend of reality, he couldn’t even hear the ones beeps now.
‘A unique praise?’
the ones phrases jumped right up at him.
A reward.
not handiest that, it became ‘unique’, too.
Jin-Woo stopped looking to save the Knight Killer in his inventory and targeting the message.
His stares had been now firmly fixed on it.
soon, comply with-up messages popped up.
Tti-ring.
[Your Class has been upgraded from ‘Necromancer’ to ‘Shadow Sovereign’.]
[You have acquired Class-specific skills.]
[You have acquired bonus Stats.]
[You have acquired the title, ‘The One Who Overcame the Adversity’.]
‘Shadow Sovereign?’
listening to that ordinary time period, Jin-Woo hurriedly summoned his popularity Window.
[Name: Seong Jin-Woo]
[Level: 51]
[Class: Shadow Sovereign]
certainly, there has been a brand new time period introduced to his magnificence column.
‘It’s not a Necromancer anymore?’
The system virtually said that he’d be able to get a higher ranked version of his elegance in step with the quantity of advancement factors he had earned. And additionally, it mentioned that the factor tally had exceeded the boundaries of the class itself, too.
The stop result from all that turned into this ‘Shadow Sovereign’.
“So, is this….”
….The special praise the device was speaking about?
The factor became, although, Jin-Woo couldn’t continue on with what he desired to say.
‘……??’
proper in the front of his disbelieving eyes, a definitely bizarre and hard-to-give an explanation for phenomenon started unfolding.
at the back of the hologram-like messages….
Unknown black smoke become slowly and eerily leaking out from the knights strewn about on the ground like scrap steel.
No such aspect happened previous to him getting his elegance.
these bits of scrap metallic were nothing extra than ownerless junk, simplest till a minute in the past.
but.
Jin-Woo closed the popularity Window and swept his gaze across the interior of the boss room as soon as. It wasn’t just one or two now.
That black smoke became growing up from every single knight at the ground.
[It is possible to perform Shadow Extraction on the selected target.]
[It is possible to perform Shadow Extraction on the selected target.]
[It is possible to perform Shadow Extraction on the selected target.]
each time his eyes landed on ‘goals’ with black smoke oozing out from them, the phrases with difficult-to-fathom meanings ‘viable to perform extraction’ popped up into his view.
‘Shadow extraction?’
He couldn’t understand why, however to Jin-Woo, the ones growing smokes seemed like they have been writhing in pain.
As a rely of fact, it felt like they had been accomplishing out to him, begging him to shop them.
would it not be unusual if he stated that…. he ought to hear their screams?
‘however…..’
He was sure of 1 thing.
He changed into sure of him being able to free them from their pain.
‘Shadow Extraction.’
[Please set the command phrase to activate the Shadow Extraction skill.]
‘I gotta set a separate activation phrase for this talent?’
Jin-Woo contemplated for a bit, earlier than muttering out nearly instinctively.
“upward thrust up.”
while he did….
Wuuaaahhhh….
Thick, heavy moans resounded out from someplace and on the identical time, the shadows of the fallen knights started wiggling as though they had been still alive.
Jin-Woo scanned his surroundings over again.
all the shadows discovered near him were starting to transport.
soon sufficient, a black hand rose up from one of the shadows. It pressed down at the ground hard, and slowly, the arm attached to it rose up.
‘Oh my god!’
Jin-Woo’s eyes opened wider and wider.
those matters were…. human beings.
No, soldiers owning the outer appearance of someone!
infantrymen kitted out head to toe in jet-black armour climbed out of the shadows one by one.
‘that is my new skill??’
by the time Jin-Woo recovered his wits, there had been a pair dozen infantrymen standing by using his aspect, ready.
[Shadow Extraction was a success.]
Tens of infantrymen had been now surrounding him.
‘What the hell is this….?’
Jin-Woo approached the nearest soldier.
the first component he did was to the touch it. while he located his hand on it, he felt something metallic.
because it turned out, the steel-looking armours weren’t just for show.
certainly, those men were all geared up in actual black armour and actual weapons.
‘at the start look, they appear to be people, don’t they?’
however, they weren’t human beings. He couldn’t experience any signs of life from them. They didn’t breathe, and there have been no heartbeats he ought to listen.
On top of this….
“…”
Jin-Woo swallowed down his shocked gasp.
He sneaked a look within the helmet via the attention holes and discovered nothing but natural darkness in there. Jin-Woo slowly took several steps lower back after feeling like he was being sucked in.
‘this stuff got here out from the shadows??’
He without delay checked his skill Window.

Jin-Woo raised his arm and pointed to his right.
And the soldiers all uniformly shifted their bodies to proper.
The quit of his hand slowly moved to his the front.
And the infantrymen too observed after his hand and slowly faced their front.
