CH 52

Whatisthis?

How something started so well to be 'Assassin', with all of a sudden

a sharp turn to 'Necromancer'?

Jin Woo stared blankly at the result with a dumbfounded expression.

He rubbed his eyes, but his words did not change.

[Your class is a Necromancer]

The message was still floating in front of him.

The initial mistrust was followed by anger.

‘I never even touched the intelligence stat! Why?!'

Of all the Hunter Class-Mage, he had never heard of a Necromancer.

When he first woke up as Rank-E, Jin Woo was a Class Fighter.

Putting aside the sword he used briefly at the beginning, he only used

the dagger until now, and the Skill he possessed came from the Assassin Class.

He could not imagine that a completely different class category would appear.

To think that he would receive a Class Mage, and not only that, this Necromancer.

He only knew Class through video games, but he had a rough idea of what he was doing

the Necromancer Class.

An ominous Mage is followed by an army of the undead.

No matter how he thought about it, it was no match for him.

Jin Woo relaxed his wrinkled face and shook his head.

‘... For now, I need to calm down first’

Even if his mind was chaotic, he would approach the situation calmly.

This calmness is one of Jin Woo's weapons.

Take time, he can find his calm.

"Fix it, how can it be ..."

He denied it, and got angry.

He felt like a patient who had received a final diagnosis, and underwent five

sadness stage.

"Anger .. Then .. is it a bargain or a compromise?"

In this situation, there is not much room for compromise.

If he had to benefit from the Necromancer Class,

he thought he could make his own army.

"The problem is that the army will consist of soldiers made of bones and corpses"

Bringing that into the real world would turn the public's sights on the Hunters.

Hunter had been the target of jealousy and fear for a long time.

Imagine if a Hunter leading the 'Soldier of the Dead' appeared around.

Forget about compatibility, he couldn't even imagine what burden he could have

he pikul.

[Do you want to receive Class?]

The system asks for the answer.

Oh thank God.

"I have a choice ..."

Jin Woo sighed in relief.

The fact that the Class was not forced on him meant that he had another chance.

And if he had another chance, he wouldn't hesitate.

Jin Woo casually rejected the offer.

"No"

Then the message asked again.

[Necromancer is a "Hidden Class". Do you still want to refuse?]

It was basically the same question, but he could not easily answer after

asked twice.

This time, he hesitated.

"Class ... Hidden?"

It was definitely something that could be found in a game, but in reality, it was,

there are indeed Hunters with rare abilities.

A Hunter that can form a barrier, or a Hunter that can throw buffs.

"I heard rumors that Guildmaster Baekho Baek Yoonho even had

the ability to turn into a monster"

All Hunters with special powers worked for large Guilds and had influence

and a very great power.

"When it says "Hidden Class", does it talk about the Hunters with

special power?"

If that is the case ...

"This might be a good opportunity."

He imagined as if System was talking to him like

"I'm offering you the Necromancer Class because I know you want great power"

In that case, the Necromancer was probably a powerful Class.

In fact, he remembered that most of the Hunters with special powers were at the bottom

Support Class.

Instead, he would become a Hunter with special powers under the Combat Class.

Little by little, his heart began to beat.

"If I could try the Necromancer Class first, I wouldn't hesitate like this"

But that's a wasted thought.

Things would not go that way in their own way, and he had never heard of

there are people with such power.

In fact, he had never heard of Summoners fighting and

lead army.

When he reached that line of thought, he,

'Wait…'

Jin Woo looked at Knigt's corpse scattered around him.

"The Mage!"

On one hand, the Mages he fought during the Quest had the same strength as

a Necromancer.

Knights are their army.

‘Hmm ..’

Fighting Knights not caring about their lives was very annoying.

If he fails to crack the answer to that fight, or if the combat abilities of the para

Mage is not low ...

"What will lie on the ground is not a piece of metal but me"

Jin Woo raised his head.

An understanding filled his eyes.

"My combat ability is not low"

He was different from these mages.

What would happen if a summoner who led an army also had strength

great individual combat?

It would truly be a nightmare for his enemy.

"If it could be like that ..."

Thoughts that were just like dreams to him in the past began to come true.

It was even possible for him to single-handedly clear a Rank-B Dungeon upwards.

Jin Woo swallowed.

If he could continue to improve his abilities after becoming a Necromancer, of course,

the troops below him would also become stronger.

His growth synergy would surpass his imagination.

"It's not just Solo Leveling"

His army will be on par with him.

'Is that possible..?'

A coldness ran down his back.

Jin Woo stared at the floating message.

Quietly waiting for him to ask again.

[Necromancer is a "Hidden Class".Do you still want to refuse?]

Contrary to before, it did not suppress the question.

Jin Woo asked in his mind,

"Is this what you want for me?"

Of course, the system did not answer.

After much thought, Jin Woo made a decision.

If it gave him a strong power, he would accept it.

He no longer hesitated.

[Do you want to receive Class?]

"All right"

As if waiting, the system immediately sent the next message.

ring ~

[You have accepted your Class]

[Depending on the progress points earned, you can move up to a higher Class]

[Points will be counted now]

[Counting ... ]

While the System was counting, Jin Woo opened the cloth that wrapped his right hand.

He had clenched his grip so hard that there were marks appearing on the palm

her hands.

"It'll blister later"

He lightly clicked his tongue.

It could be overcome with a drop of healing potion, but the fact that he could not

doing it in this place is very uncomfortable.

As he returned the Knight Killer into storage, the system rang.

ring ~

Jin Woo raised his head in response.

[Ext extra coins awarded.]

Extra points.

Well, that makes sense.

‘If I'm not sure what the expected deadline is, but I've lasted long enough'

He laughed in satisfaction, but then suddenly, many messages appeared before his eyes.

[You are not using Instant Returner Stone!]

[Extra coins awarded]

[Your health is currently above 50%!]

[Extra coins awarded]

[You have defeated all the enemies!]

[Extra coins awarded]

[Aggregate progress points have exceeded the required number]

[According to the agreement, special gifts will be given]

ring ~ ring ~ ring ~

'What?'

A tone that repeatedly pierced into the ear, but the voice did not even go inside

jin Woo's thoughts.

His gaze was fixed on two specific words.

"Special gift?"

The prize, the "Special".

Jin Woo's hand that put the Knight Killer into storage froze, though,

and his eyes looked at the mailbox.

He can't turn his face away.

And the message continues.

ring ~

[You have ascended from Necromancer to Monarch of Shadows]

[You have learned a special Skill Class]

[You have obtained 10 stat points]

[You have obtained the title, "Someone Who Has Won over Difficulty"]

‘Monarch of Shadows?’

With an unfamiliar name, he quickly opened his status screen.

Name: Sung Jinwoo

Level: 51

Class: Monarch of Shadows

His new class was placed in the right place.

"This isn't a Necromancer?"

The system tells him that depending on the points of progress, it is possible to rise to

Higher class for him.

And just now, it was telling him that his progress points exceeded the required amount.

And the resulting class is "Monarch of Shadows".

"So this ..."

The special gift that the System talked about?

He could not reveal what he saw next.

‘...?’

Something strange happened before his eyes, behind the floating message.

There was a strange black smoke rising from the corpses of the Knights strewn across the view in front of him.

It did not exist before the advancement of the Class.

Just a moment ago, they were just pieces of metal without a controller.

And now…

Jin Woo closed his status screen and looked around.

Not just one or two of them.

Every fallen Knight emitted black smoke.

[Possible targets for Shadow Extraction]

[Possible targets for Shadow Extraction]

[Possible targets for Shadow Extraction]

Every time he saw a corpse with black smoke, a message appeared, which told him

that extraction might be done.

"Shadow Extraction?"

He doesn't know what this means.

The black smoke almost seemed like it was twisting in pain.

It felt like they were extending a hand towards him, asking him to save them.

Is it strange to say that he can .. hear their screams?

'But.'

Jin Woo is sure.

He will be able to save them from their pain.

"Shadow Extraction."

[Please select the command phrase for Shadow Extraction]

"I have to assign a spoken phrase to the skill?"

After a while, Jin Woo spoke out of instinct.

"Rise."

And with that-and

Uwaaaaaah

With a heavy moan coming from somewhere, the shadow of the Knights began to tremble

as if it were alive.

Jin Woo looked around the defeated troops.

All their shadows move.

A black hand emerged from one of the shadows.

Then he put himself on the ground and seemed to pull away from the shadows.

...ILLUSTRATES

...

"It's a Skill?"

Before he knew it, several dozen soldiers had risen.

[You have succeeded in Shadow Extraction]

A dozen soldiers stood up, and surrounded him.

'What's this…'

He approached the nearest soldier.

And touch the nearest one.

He put his hands on them and felt the metal.

Armor is not just for show.

They were truly soldiers wearing pitch-black armor, and wielding weapons.

"They look like humans"

But they're not human.

He did not feel any life force coming from them.

Breathing or even heart rate.

Besides of.

"..."

Jin Woo held back his scream.

He's been looking through the helmet protector.

Inside was the darkness itself.

Feeling as if he would be swallowed by her, Jin Woo slowly took a few steps back.

"They were all born of the shadow?"

He quickly opened his Skill screen.

As System told him, there was a new special Skill Class on his list.

Special Skill Class

Active Skills

shadow Extraction (Lv. 1)

shadow Storage (Lv. 1)

He checked the first skill.

[Shadow Extraction (Lv. 1)]

[Class-specific Skill]

[Mana Cost: 0

[Creating Shadow Soldier from corpses]

[The success rate depends on the target's ability and time of death]

[Max View: 30/30]

[You extract and form mana from a lifeless body]

After reading the Skill's explanation, he was able to ascertain the identity of those soldiers.

‘... They're undead.’

Shadow Warriors.

It was a monster created from the shadow of a corpse.

Jin Woo swallowed his saliva.

"If these people are really my soldiers ..."

Jin Woo extended his hand to the right.

All the soldiers turned to the right.

He slowly moved his hand to himself.

The soldiers followed his hands and faced forward.

In the middle of their gazes stood Jin Woo.

He calmed his heartbeat and lowered his hand.

Clacks

Clacks.

All the soldiers kneeled before him.

Everything moved as he wished.

"Huh ..."

Jin Woo revealed his astonishment, and the corner of his mouth rose.

'This is so cool.'
