The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

001.

“Turn it off! I finally woke up!”

what a long time it was

10,082 hours of playtime.

Even if you invest 8 hours a day, it is 1,260 days.

about 4 years.

But I did it.

In other words, he beat the Nightmare difficulty by clearing all achievements while comparing numerous strategies.

“Aden Saga also enjoyed all the sweet water.”

It will be difficult to find a game that suits your taste.

It was a feast of vibrant worlds, interactions, and NPCs.

I was looking forward to the sequel to come next.

“Because it ended right before the academy graduation exam. The next content will be after graduation.”

I searched the official website of the manufacturer.

The main plot of the soon-to-be-released Aden Saga 2 was written there.

[The demon king who will bring about the end of the world in 5 years! Let’s once again become friends of the Aden party and punish the demon king before his monster covers the continent!]

“This is the core of Aden Saga 2, right? .”

I closed the site and looked around for a character that I had a lot of affection for.

Looking back, I grew up really well.

A barbaric warrior from a lesser southern tribe.

Just like the nightmare difficulty level, the place of origin and talent also hit the floor.

However, as soon as it passed through the hands of this deceased body, it was transformed from earth to gold.

The character whose physical growth was blocked has grown into a man of great size.

Is that all? Strength and mana fit for its size.

I didn’t miss the chief within the academy.

“It was hard… .”

Muttering quietly, he opened the stat window.

The feast of S that makes you admire the moment you see it.

With this, he was able to surpass the hero ‘Aden’.

‘So sorry.’

Warrior Aden.

The main character of this game was not my character.

To the end, that nobleman-like guy is the main character.

They are forced to be together and get involved in various incidents.

In the process, he grows into a fellow warrior who will be with him after graduation.

That was the theme and end of this game.

ok, that’s it

‘If you’ve grown up, you should advance to the next stage. What are you doing!’

Aden Saga 1 ended like this.

It will end if you face Aden as your graduation exam.

Still, it was fortunate that the production team promised one thing.

‘Because he said that the reputation he built with his colleagues and the people around him could be overwritten in the sequel.’

So, I also paid attention to the relationship with professors and students.

Thanks to such efforts, everyone praises my character because it is not friendly.

Even if you tell a lie, you will believe it.

completely flawless.

This was the current position of the barbaric warrior I created.

“hmm?”

Before ending the game, I was taking one last look at the stat window and character information.

An icon that appeared in a corner caught my eye.

This is the first icon you see.

When I pressed it out of curiosity, a selection window appeared.

[Do you want to redistribute the character’s abilities?]

suddenly?

No, it’s the first time I’ve cleared the Nightmare difficulty, so it’s not sudden.

It might be a reward for clearing the highest difficulty.

‘Maybe I’m going to play New Game Plus with this.’

New Game Plus makes even difficult difficulties easy.

This is because you can enjoy a new game by inheriting your abilities.

“Let’s see… .”

I clicked ‘Yes’ with half curiosity and half expectation.

Aden Saga does not have New Game Plus.

But what if it opens by clearing Nightmare difficulty with all achievements unlocked?

I smiled while looking at the character stats and skill redistribution window.

“This is it.”

Re-selection of skills for stat summation.

All stats except mental strength are S-class.

There was a higher level here.

Like SS or SSS.

I intentionally reset all stats.

[Remaining stat points: 520]

It hurts to be lowered to F rank, but I was willing to invest because there was a build I wanted to do.

“it’s okay.”

Strength, stamina, and senses were set to F, and the points secured with those were given to mental strength.

[Do you want to increase your mental strength from S-＞SS? Required Stat Points: 180]

[Do you want to increase your sanity to SS-＞SSS? Required Stat Points: 340]

The points required to move from S to the next level are considerable.

Although 20 was enough to grow the stat from A to S.

‘Because the return is certain though.’

After pouring all the points, I was able to make the SSS class.

I laughed at the revealed results.

“There will be no such asymmetric stats.”

This is more than just an archmage.

However, the stats that make up the body are below the level of ordinary people, closer to the sick.

The F stat was like that.

The resulting penalty was weakness, chronic fatigue, and insensitivity.

It was the moment when his bulging muscles and beastly appearance degenerated into an empty shell.

Even so, his magical talent was outstanding.

‘Anyway, it’s a physical ability, so it can be restored by inhaling the vapors in the academy.’

There is a way to remove the penalty in the academy.

You can divide the training time in a murderous way.

It’s not my body anyway.

The character will roll hard and grow with my clicks and manipulations.

‘What’s next is the skill.’

It was a system similar to stat redistribution.

Sell or lower skills to secure points, buy skills with them, and level up.

My choice was fixed.

A list of skills that do not discriminate between good and evil.

This time I thought to walk the dark road.

‘Savage Necromancer.’

nice… what a great sound

Wielding a huge axe, he ravages the battlefield with the Death Knight.

Launches the Bone Dragon into the sky and melts enemies with poison breath.

Tens of thousands of undead armies reliably supported them.

More than anything, the helplessness of my character renewal to lead them.

I dare not touch it.

Because you can’t touch even a hair, the working manma continue to revive.

A great army led by an invincible being.

who will stop

“This is a game.”

The end of suffering is the beginning of happiness.

The goal has been achieved, so enjoy it.

Even deceased people need healing.

I sold all skills.

Purchased three skills with hundreds of skill points.

[Soul Bond]

[Bone Eater]

[Rising Undead]

All three to max level.

This was the limit.

At the same time, it was the most important skill for a Necromancer.

‘Other black magic can be taken away from the enemy.’

The villains appearing in the academy are the Devil’s aides.

There are also black magicians among them, so you can replace black magic with their spellbooks.

‘I have to pay attention to the reputation of the surroundings, so I hide my dark magic.’

Those who use black magic, necromancer, or black magic are subject to summary execution. So, hiding your identity was the most important thing.

So, I purchased [The Veiled One] with the surplus points.

With this, he should be able to conceal his dark magic even without being conscious of it.

Due to lack of points, I was only able to raise it to A rank.

Does not matter.

Because the rest of the skills that would make him the strongest necromancer were SSS-level.

“Redistributing with this… complete.”

Everything is ready.

Now my character is a frail savage warrior with a bottle attached to his balloon muscle.

However, he is a necromancer who reads the magic book at once and handles black magic more perfectly than anyone else.

“Your chest is getting bigger.”

With this, I will make my dream come true.

After flipping through the cautionary phrase that it can’t be turned back like that.

A notice window appeared, like a lengthy terms and conditions agreement that might only be seen in early game titles.

[From now on… (syncopation)… After graduating from the academy of Arden, together… .

.

.

.

If you agree, your company will not take any action against all shocks and risks.]

It is roughly about a few lines for immersion in the game and that he was aware of the risk of seizures and headaches due to light emission.

It was natural to quickly scroll all the way down to the bottom of this and press Agree.

… … Then it didn’t work.

***

“… Mr. Kram!”

what are you talking about

“Lord Lokram!”

The knock on the door is loud.

Calling out my character’s name is a bonus.

The body is heavy. All senses were numb.

It feels like being submerged head to head in water.

What is this feeling of exhaustion that squeezes my head?

cold. Cough comes out. The eyelids were ten thousand.

“Cool! Cool!”

I coughed constantly.

I wiped my face with my hand in frustration.

‘hmm?’

Were my hands originally this big?

It’s not just the size.

It is rough as if it has received all the harsh waves.

I felt a lot of hard calluses.

Instead of touching my hands, I groped my body.

Ride the trapezius muscle that rises like a mountain peak, pass the pectoralis major muscle, and touch the latissimus dorsi muscle.

Muscles that were tightly compressed to the limit were elastic.

In other words, this is not my body.

“Lokram! I have something urgent to tell you about the graduation exam! Hurry up and come out!”

Oh, it was a big deal.

Isn’t this what it is? Game possession?

I pinch and tap my body to see if it is a dream.

sick. It hurt terribly.

Adding to the rush of body death, it tells us that this situation is real.

‘Then am I possessed by Aden Saga 1? Is that also on the body of the character I grew up with?’

I didn’t panic.

Rather, I was frighteningly calm.

Dare to expect that answer, I shouted inwardly.

‘Chuck Taechang! Nag Taechang! Status window!’

doesn’t come out

So what about upbringing?

“award… Great, Taechang. status window.”

There is no change.

Possessing the game, but not receiving the benefits as a character.

don’t know that yet

I checked a lot of features that I’m willing to enjoy as a character.

Preferences, documentation, help, maps, etc.

‘Inventory.’

After shouting the last function inwardly, I was able to organize the functions allowed to me.

‘The inventory and map functions are alive.’

After checking, I got up.

First of all, I have to get rid of that bastard who knocks on the door.

Won because the goal resonates with the sound of knocking.

When I opened the door, there stood a man with wide eyes.

“oh! I’m sleeping, but you didn’t wake me?”

first language.

But it makes sense.

It’s amazing.

I looked down at the guy who was much smaller than me and waved my hand.

“The matchup is out. In the graduation exam tomorrow, you will have a real fight with Aden, who is in the second place. ah! This is the bracket.”

They chatter like a rapid-fire gun as if they were sorry for interrupting my rest.

Then, he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket.

Accepting it, I waved my hand again.

“Then I will look forward to tomorrow. Undefeated warrior!”

The man bowed at 90 degrees and ran to the next room.

I guess I have to tell all the rooms today.

I quietly closed the door and unfolded the rolled paper.

The text was also read without difficulty.

[Lokram VS Aden]

Tomorrow I have to fight the protagonist of this game.

Even though I can’t see the stat window, my physical condition has been figured out.

A trembling body, eyelids that feel heavier than a thousand pounds, and dullness of the five senses that make it difficult to perceive the surroundings.

Currently, I am possessed here with my stats and skills redistributed.

‘It’s X.’

Wrong.

The timing is very wrong.

the day before the graduation exam.

This situation was close to the Aden Saga 1 epilogue.

The Aden Saga 1 ended when I faced Aden in the graduation exam tomorrow.

In other words, I was now standing at the starting point of Aden Saga 2.

“f*ck… .”

I spit out a spurt of disgust with reason and emotion that still maintains my composure.

This body is applied as a savage warrior necromancer after numerical redistribution.

Mental strength SSS level stat.

I had a level of stats that even the great wizard of this world could not reach.

The other stats given in return are F-class.

The penalty that followed due to that weighed on his shoulders.

His body was still heavy, but his mind, clearer than ever, calmly grasped the situation.

‘… I think it’s jojin?’

If it was the starting point of Aden Saga 1, it wouldn’t have gotten this serious.

This is because if you monopolize all the hidden pieces in the academy, you can quickly raise your F-level stats.

But at this time, it is impossible.

Because I had already ruined everything.

Such a situation, such a body.

But what? To take the graduation exam against Aden?

‘It means to look back.’

It’s a real fight because it’s close to the real fight.

With that, he proves his ability in front of the principal, graduates, and becomes a true warrior.

It shouldn’t stay like this.

Let’s come up with countermeasures, countermeasures.

I took a pen and paper from my inventory.

I put the things floating around in my head into a pen.

The mental strength that gives calmness in any situation was a great help.

The whole situation was sorted out in no time.

The influence I can wield now.

A situation that must be avoided.

What you need to do right now in order not to die finally, and so on.

‘The reputation is being maintained.’

The respectful look from the man who had just handed over the bracket was proof of that.

On behalf of all the main characters, they lead by example, sacrifice, and take the lead to prevent the incident.

It was a reputation that was raised to the maximum after all kinds of hard work.

you have to use this

The problem is Aden… .

‘If I get involved with that bastard, I’ll get caught up in every incident unconditionally.’

The story of Aden Saga 1 revolves around Aden.

That guy was the nucleus of a typhoon.

From the invincible warrior Rokram to the sickly warrior Rokram.

If they were together and caught up in an incident, they would die.

furthermore.

‘I’m now a necromancer.’

I have no choice but to deal with black magic, not mana.

In other words, if they were caught, they would hear the rumors of the devil’s followers and be subject to summary execution.

Moreover, to make matters worse, this world has only five years left until its destruction.

If I can’t kill the demon king, I will die.

You must become very strong.

Without getting caught in Aden’s party and without getting caught using black magic.

‘Let’s run away for now.’

It was a graduation exam and I didn’t need anything.

A body that might die while taking a test, but what about a test?

Absolutely nothing more to gain here.

I already ate all of it, so there’s no way there’s anything left.

‘Still, I don’t want my reputation to deteriorate over this.’

I had to run away, but I had to plan for the future.

All that was left of me now was my innate necromancer talent and the sky-high reputation around me.

‘If I escape without a word, I’m sure they’ll try to find it.’

Remember.

You have to create a situation where you can quietly build up your strength without anyone looking for you.

The top head of the Hero Academy.

yes, principal. Wouldn’t it be okay to just wrap around the man and escape?

You said something urgent happened.

Lokram’s tribe has a problem, and it’s something that only our tribe members have to solve.

‘… And to solve that, I have no choice but to give up the graduation exam and leave. um, perfect There will be no harm in reputation.’

Before I knew it, there was a letter written in elegant handwriting in front of me.

I called an errand boy with it.

The method is similar to the game, so it was easy to use.

‘Okay, now I can go out at less crowded times.’

ready to leave

The room I used to spend waiting time anyway.

I waited for the right time on the bed, the only existing piece of furniture.

When it was dusky dawn, I went outside.

Getting out of here is the first priority.

It was not too late to decide the destination after that.

After leaving the dormitory, I went to the southeast wall of the back door without being noticed by others.

This is because there is a hidden passage through which demons infiltrated.

“hmm?”

I thought there would be no one, but there is someone.

As I hid myself, a deep voice hit my ear.

“You know better than anyone that no one can escape my eyes here, right? Lokram.”

every know

That’s why I tried to escape as quickly as possible by the shortest route.

I took a deep breath and appeared.

He opened his mouth to the old man in front of him.

“principal.”

“I read the letter. I want to hear the details, but would you like to go with me to the principal’s office? I will refuse to refuse.”

said the headmaster, brushing off the frost on his hood.

that barn… How many hours did you wait outside?

It was clear why he did what he could have done to others.

Maybe it’s to prevent my situation from being known to others.

Tension came from the principal’s hidden consideration and tenacity.

My heart beats like crazy.

But regardless, a calm voice came out of my mouth.

“All right.”

It’s okay to run away quietly.
