Chapter: 51
Sunlight gleamed through the round rose-glass window, a shaft of warm light was slowly creeping towards Jay’s eyes – as time went by it hit his eyes, forcing him awake.
A notification appeared as he woke up
[38 Exp]
Smiling at the notification, Jay wondered what kinds of animals the Don’s were out killing all night as he hopped out of bed and pulled out his knapsack from underneath, checking that everything was still there – but this time he noticed something strange.
His book’s cover had changed slightly. The circle on the front appeared to be slightly more broken, with more cracks spreading through it. Curiously, he analysed it.
[Woes of the comfortable]
“What the? It changed its name?” Quickly, Jay flipped open the book. The first page was still the same – talking about ‘escaping the circles’ which he was starting to understand, so he checked the next page.
“There’s new writing now? I wonder what happened…” Jay thought for a moment but wasn’t sure what triggered the next page to reveal itself, so he decided to sit down on his bed as he read the next page.

If you wish to read what Jay is reading, the next page of his book is in the next chapter. Reminder that these are free, and always will be. Thanks, Aero182.

After reading the next page, Jay received a notification
[Immortality Research 2%]
“Nice! But perhaps I should consider if I actually want to become immortal… and I suppose this book is like a warning as well as a training guide” he shrugged “Hmm, I’ll give it more thought later when I get closer to completing the book. I’m getting too ahead of myself.”.
Shaking his head, he realised the last time he read this book was after he levelled up – but he was too distracted by another exploding corpse to realise he had another stat point waiting, plus five attribute points.
“Oh yeah! Haha” he chuckled. Putting away his book, he realised he would probably be pretending to be a swordsman again today, so he wanted to put his points into strength – but that wouldn’t help him as a necromancer, so he opted to put them all into vitality, which worked well for both classes.
Of course, he put another skill point into his [Raise Feeble Creature] skill – this time, another notification followed.
[Undead Mastery Skill Unlocked]
[Your undead can level up to a max level of (2). Level up is permanent]
Somehow, Jay felt like he had a better understanding of bone structure after this, it was as if he just understood something previously intangible – why bone was dense in some parts and more honey-combed in others.
He checked his stats before getting up from his bed.
