Chapter: 314

It was clear that the powerful glowing golden arrow had dealt massive damage to the components of its skeleton, as the skeleton seemed quite skinny after being summoned again, so Jay gave it access to his soap-rat bone stockpile, which it proceeded to munch down on.

The bone worm periodically stuck its head out of the ground as it analysed its master once more. Jay was glad that he had a little bone gathering machine now, but he realised that he would not want it bringing him human bones in the middle of the night while he was trying to sleep, so he gave it its first orders.

“Helminth? Come here.”

After a moment the spindly creature poked its head out of the ground; the rest of its body followed and it curled up, waiting for its master’s orders.

“I have some rules for you. Never bring me human bones, and never show yourself to anyone.” Jay said with a nod.

The helminth chomped its jaw in the air twice and then dove back underground.

“Strange little thing…” Jay thought with a warm smile.

“Now… what was next… oh yeah, the item. How did I get an item anyway?”

“It must have to do with the pure necromancer path too, as I got the notification after choosing it.”

Surely an item cannot just appear out of nowhere, but soon enough, Jay got his answer.

***Hooray, chapter 100! Thanks for joining me on this journey, I hope you’re enjoying it! I know some parts have been slow, but sometimes it’s just ‘the calm before the storm’… other times, it’s character/world building. Jay is finally level 10 after 100 chapters; hehe, he’s a bit of a noob but he’s getting there! We’re still in the beginning part of the story so rest assured, there are plenty more chapters coming. If you don’t mind, please keep sending me those delicious power stones, and also thanks for the gifts! Very encouraging 🙂 – Aero182***


Jay opened the notification [Class Item Acquired].

Quickly, he checked his inventory scanning through everything but there was nothing new there. Nothing out of the ordinary.

“…”

“Huh? Where’s my new item??”

Nothing happened at first which caused some agitation, but the next second, some green gas left Jay’s hand; some of his necrotic mana was pulled from his body, and before him it floated; coalescing into a small cloud.

“What is going on?” he looked at his hand – of course, it was still under his control.

Jay had wide eyes, uneasy as he watched this phenomenon – he could sense that it was his necrotic energy but he was not controlling it – it was like it had its own mind.

Suddenly, more wisps of the green gaseous mana came from the pyramid walls; some came from the ground too. It was like they were everywhere all along, much like the ambient mana in the atmosphere which permeated all things.

Jay subconsciously stepped back, and it was coming from all directions now, and was all heading towards the mana that was released from his hand. It was like it had a gravitational pull..

Soon, the green wisps coming got larger, turning into clouds. They were becoming even more dense now too.

All of them gathered and mixed with the necrotic cloud that formed from Jay’s mana.

The whole pyramid was glowing green inside now, it looked like a thousand floating lanterns had been lit and left inside.

Suddenly, a sound began to fill the pyramid; ghostly whispers of undead souls.
