Episode 8
“minute… … under… … all… … . luck… … number… … .”
-Hunted the field boss ‘Zombie with Ghost’.
-Experience gained.
I got -41 silver.
– Level up!
-Obtained the Salamander-infused Broadsword (rare).
-Obtained Apprentice Hero Zach’s Leather Boots (Magic) (Set).
-Obtained a bone with a ghost.
– Start bidding.
“Hmm.”
After the hunt, Fafnir sincerely admired it.
“It’s pretty tactful.”
Three days had passed since he taught Hilde a new hunting method.
Now, without having to teach them the direction, they were able to hunt zombies on their own.
The hunting speed has also increased significantly now.
Fafnir’s level had risen by 11 or more, reaching level 31.
Hilde’s level reached 39, so it was like a ‘bolster up’.
Thanks to this, I was able to hunt strong monsters that I hadn’t thought of before.
“Distribution is… … .”
“Fafnil-nim has it. I am satisfied with just completing the quest.”
Hilde smiled softly.
But Fafnil shook his head.
“I have 7, Hilde-nim has 3.”
distribution for sure.
Otherwise, sediment will surely arise.
‘I have to keep rolling, but I can’t.’
Fafnir, who forcibly took care of the gold and leather boots, thought.
‘Anyway, this… … .’
[Bone with ghosts]
-Rating: Rare
– Classification: Material
-no effect.
-Description: A piece of bone that was possessed by a ghost. The main body, the soul, has been seriously injured, and the demonic energy is slowly escaping.
– Remaining time: 05:59
‘I got it four days earlier than expected.’
Bone, a material needed to make an Elite Skeleton Soldier.
In this way, all materials are provided.
‘I don’t have much time, so I have to hurry.’
Fafnir said to Hilde.
“Then you are going to Byron City first.”
“What about Fafnir?”
“I have something to do… … . I will follow you after that.”
After sending Hilde away, Fafnir took out materials from the inventory.
– 1 piece of bone to be a corpuscle
– 1 piece of bone with ghostly spirit
-3 Dark Mana Stones
– 1 bottle of Actoplasm solution
-1 bottle of pure sheep’s blood.
– 20 Black Magic Herbs
‘All done.’
There was a small body to choose from.
Fafnir took out the human bones he had obtained from the goblin lair.
‘They must have been worshiping this bone.’
A bone worshiped by goblins.
No matter how you think about it, it was not an ordinary object.
‘Then where… … .’
Fafnir immediately used the skill.
-Used the skill.
– Darkness gathers.
-Part of your soul is imprinted on the Skeleton Soldier.
-The Skeleton Soldier will obey you with ego and reason.
oh oh
A black mist gathered around the material, nesting in the bone fragments and taking on a human form.
After a while, there was a skeleton soldier that emitted an aura instead of material.
[Elite Skeleton Soldier]
-Please give me a name.
‘done.’
Fafnir answered right away.
“No. 1”
Do you want to set it to -1?
“okay.”
– It’s set.
– You can check the status of No. 1 in the status window.
-Acquired a new achievement ‘Elite from the start’.
-Intelligence increased by +3.
‘There must have been such a hidden achievement.’
A title that was not known because it usually raises a skeleton soldier first!
A smile formed on his lips.
“No. 1 status window.”
[No. 1]
-Type: Skeleton
– Level: 25
-Relation: Servant
-Attack Power: 80
-Defense: 15
-Loyalty: 100 (fixed)
-Strength: 115
-HP: 68

[Possessed Skills]
-doesn’t exist.
[Equipment to wear]
-doesn’t exist.
‘It must have been the warrior type after all.’
The first status is determined by the element used.
“Cancel the summons.”
When Fafnir finished speaking, the Skeleton Soldier instantly turned into powder.
Of course it didn’t disappear.
It just belonged to Fafnir’s character, and could be summoned and released at any time.
‘Then shall we go to the village now?’
However, meeting Hilde is a bit later.
Before that, there was a place to stop by first.
* * *
Byron City Necromancer Guild.
Fafnil stopped by there as soon as he returned.
“How about it, isn’t it easy to grow up alone without a skeleton disease?”
The middle-aged man guarding the counter squeaked and rested his chin.
“Why don’t you change your skill now? But since I’m a junior, I’ll do it cheaply.”
-You can repurchase 3 early skills.
– An additional fee of 33 coppers must be paid.
-Do you want to repurchase? (Y/N)
A middle-aged necromancer drinking kimchi soup!
Instead of answering, Fafnir summoned an elite skeleton soldier.
“omg… … Eh, an elite skeleton soldier!”
“I tried it myself and somehow it worked.”
Other necromancers would have never imagined.
Those who could fight directly without the Skeleton Soldier had other jobs, otherwise everyone would have used the Skeleton Soldier.
“At this level, it seems that the conditions you suggested have been met.”
“… … At first, I thought he would give up right away, but he’s a guy with a plan.”
[You have completed the quest ‘Proof of Sprout’.]
-Experience gained.
– You can acquire a random magic grade necromancer skill.
Complete the quest you got when you first came in 4 days!
No matter how much efficiency was raised, it was faster than expected.
“Now… … .”
“I know. It was a promise to give you good skills.”
The middle-aged man nodded and asked.
“By the way, do you have any schools in mind?”
“School?”
“Yes, you need to know the school, so it will be given accordingly.”
“hmm… … . What schools are there?”
“There is the Legion School, which leads the Undead and Golems, the Conjurer School, which contracts with demons to receive power, and finally, the Demons School, which uses curses, poisons, and chimeras and monsters.”
To put it simply, it’s Bone Neck, Possessive Neck, and Monster Neck!
‘Legion and Demons are the existing necromancers, and conjurers are combat types.’
To be honest, I was interested in Bing’s neck.
however… … .
‘It’s not my taste to be swayed by others.’
Whether it’s a game NPC or something else.
In order to get ahead of the crazy flush guy’s lucky cheat, he had to squeeze out all his strength and future knowledge.
Is there something holding you back in the meantime?
‘I can’t stand that.’
Fafnir answered right away.
“I am interested in the Legion School.”
“Legion!”
The middle-aged man grinned.
“As expected, if you’re a necromancer, that’s it. You know something.”
“No, what… … I just thought of the best.”
“Yes, yes, I know how you feel.”
– Necromancer Gould’s affinity has increased by +10.
Acquired 10 likes to Gould, who was famous for being petty and tickling!
Either that or not, Fafnir found the skill book.
‘Now it’s my turn to learn Golem skills.’
Golem.
Every ministry that has become one of the main forces of the Necromancer with tremendous defense and stamina, and offensive power from weight class.
If Skeleton Soldiers are the rice of Necromancer users, Golems are meat side dishes!
‘We mainly foster elite skeleton soldiers, and cover the shortage with this guy.’
It was then.
It was just when Fafnir was trying to choose a mud golem summon.
“It’s a mud golem… … . Isn’t that a bit weak?”
“yes?”
“Since it is made of clay, it cannot withstand strong attacks… … He’s a worthless bastard. Isn’t it?”
“hmm… … . Yes?”
“I thought you would say that, I like you too.”
Gould grinned and held out a hammer and a badge emblazoned with a skull.
“This is the mark of a legion school trainee. It’s practically like joining our school, so you’ll need this.”
– Obtained the Legion School Trainee Badge (Magic).
‘This… … .’
[Legion School Trainee Badge]
-Rating: Magic
– Category: Accessories
– Level limit: 20
-Physical Defense: 5
-Intelligence +3
– Wisdom +3
– Reduces MP consumption by 10% when using skills related to Skeleton Disease and Golem.
-Description: A badge given to trainees of the Legion School, one of the Necromancer Schools.
‘I’m lucky.’
School trainees are not easy to enter.
A position that can only be obtained by clearing various quests and learning unique magic!
It was as if I had passed the process for free.
That would save weeks on the journey ahead.
“You can call me the death penalty from now on. If you have any difficulties, let me know anytime.”
“thank you.”
“In that sense, I will make a suggestion to you.”
Gould snapped his fingers.
“Not really, but… … I’ll give you a chance to learn one of our school’s visions. How would you like to accept it?”
[A new quest has been created.]
[Do you accept the quest? (Y/N)]

city street.
After finishing his business, Fafnir went to the city merchant association.
“I want to sell zombie fangs, weapons, and loot.”
“We are welcome. The by-products of zombies are a lot of good things. But a bit too much… … . no, god.”
Sell your loot to the amazing merchants and get a ton of gold!
Fafnir was also a satisfactory deal, as he had twice successfully negotiated to raise the price.
‘A total of 12 gold… … .’
To be exact, 4 gold was obtained by selling japtem, and 8 gold was obtained by selling rare level by-products.
Since 1 gold is 50,000 won, it means that he earned 600,000 won in 3 days.
‘No matter how much cheat hunting was done, this much profit at less than level 40.’
This is a slightly higher level than dark gamers in real life.
Considering that the current level was 31, it was a much more efficient punishment.
‘It’s probably because it’s in a game novel, so the level of earning doesn’t make sense.’
Well, at this level, in the mid-to-late half, the game ranker must have shown more power than the chaebol chairman.
Come to think of it, the world in a game novel that I don’t understand!
‘Anyway, we were supposed to meet here.’
While thinking, Fafnir arrived at the plaza before he knew it and looked around.
‘Hilde-nim hasn’t come yet.’
He seemed to be taking quite a bit of time to complete the various quests.
‘Then, in the meantime, let’s review the quest. Quest window!’
[Gould’s Test]
-Goal: Gather all the materials suggested by Necromancer Gould
-8 Black Hianhua (0/8)
-30 bottles of troll’s blood (0/30)
-12 Red Poison Worm’s Arbitrary (0/12)
-100 Shagar’s Claws (0/100)
-3 Hearts of the Living Dead (0/3)
-5 mandrake roots (0/5)
-1 Dark Mana Stone (Unique) (0/1)
-Reward: Unique level skill book
*When you learn the skills in the skill book, you cannot use all normal golem summoning skills until you master the skills.
Fafnir, who was looking at the contents, licked his lips.
‘As expected, it’s a hidden quest.’
Obtaining hidden quests is usually not difficult.
To the extent that you can only get a small piece of clue by directly asking NPCs, flattering them, and licking their shoes.
Even such information is mostly controlled by large guilds.
You might think it’s a jackpot because you got something like that.
‘Until you master the unique golem skill, you can’t make a normal golem… … .’
Fafnil’s expression hardened.
It’s definitely a good condition in the long run.
After mastering the skill, you can summon normal golems as much as you like.
The problem is the effort it takes until then.
‘Even if I complete the quest, I won’t be able to use the golem for 6 months.’
6 months is the minimum.
He probably wouldn’t be able to use his golem summoning skill for over a year.
Growing up as a Necromancer was difficult.
One more shackle was added to it.
‘I can’t help it. You have to take this level of risk to reach the pinnacle.’
At least, getting other materials wasn’t a big problem.
Fafnil checked the ingredients list.
‘Looks like I’ll be busy for another few months to get it myself.’
In this case, money is the best.
There was also 600,000 won worth of gold, so there was no need to be stingy.
‘When I write, I should boldly write.’
The most important thing right now is rapid growth!
‘That person is absolutely necessary.’
Fafnir thought as he watched Hilde approaching from afar.
‘Then shall we move on to the next step?’
