Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Necromancy

What do young people desire? Money? Power? Girls? Well, none of the above. They want to reincarnate in the world of swords and magic. They want to be in the world of cultivation. They want cheat skills and abilities making them overpowered in a fantasy world or a system which will help them to gain those skills and powers. Well, Mostly.

Arthur, a young boy of 18 Years. He was living a normal everyday life until a tragedy happened occurred in his world. A grand pandemic ignited in his world. COVID-19 is the name of the virus. Soon everything was affected by it. People were confined to their houses, factories and industries were shut down and many people lost their life.

In order to avoid the spread of infection, the government started lock-down. People did not come out of the house. Most of the day to day items were provided by the government themselves.

But being confined to his own house was stressful for Arthur. He wanted to free to roam all the places he wanted. He wanted to visit his friend's house and spend time with them. But he wasn't allowed to.

Being unable to oppose neither his parents nor the government he decided to stay put in his own room. Until a piece of news stuck his ears. He couldn't control his excitement. He heard that the lock-down was opened and he could finally come out of his house. But he still needed to be careful.

So, without any delay, he rushed out of his home wearing a mask and gloves on his hand. Trying to be cautious as much as possible.

He was walking down the alley. Which makes him feel much more excited. He was finally able to inhale the fresh cold airs. And see the bright sunlight illuminate the surroundings.

He was walking down the way when he came across a small group of people discussing some matters. It piqued his curiosity, unable to hold it in he walked towards them. Apparently, they were talking about people who were infected by the Virus in their locality.

Arthur was slowly walking towards them. When suddenly, a small fibre of his mask softly caressed his nostrils. Out of nowhere, he had a strong urge to sneeze. Unable to hold it in, He sneezed with a rather loud noise. Attracting the group's attention.

Immediately hearing him sneeze the small group of people turned towards him. He was acting indifferent when he abruptly stopped his step. He saw the confused faces of those people looking towards him.

When he realized something, " No, this isn't wha-" Before he finished his words he immediately turned back and started sprinting at full speed.

The people were running after him and shouting saying something he didn't hear clearly but he thought that they were cursing him and saying that he was also infected.

Arthur started running out of fear of being beaten by them. Because just yesterday, he had seen the news on TV reporting the death of a person. Who was brutally killed by the people when sneezing thinking he was infected.

He thought that he too might be its victim. He turned back his head behind and started sprinting faster than before.

He closed his eyes, head faced to the sky. He ran as fast as he could like his life is on the line.

When out of nowhere he heard a sound. He turned his head to the side and saw truck-Kun. BANG! He was thrown far away after the collision.

His ribs and hands were completely broken. But he wasn't feeling any pain. His consciousness was slowly fading. The last thought he had ' Goddamn it, I wanted to bang kate once. Ugh! I am dying a virgin. What a pity'. He remembers kate for the one last time.

People surrounded him and said with eyes filled with pity. Why did he run? We were just trying to say to him that his shirt was inside out. He did not even heard our screams.

So, this way his life came to an end. Children's be sure to first listen and then only decide something. Without hearing others don't come to a conclusion immediately.

Now, Arthur died. He is standing in front of a white figure who is claiming to be a God. Arthur was puzzled upon seeing the white figure. He was trying to find what is going on. He clearly knows he was hit by a truck just now than how did he come here.

The Self proclaimed God said " I am saying the truth child. I am the Almighty God. You, mortals, pray to."

Arthur hesitates for a moment but speaks " Why did you call me here, God? Do you want something from me?". " No, my child. I am going to give you a chance to reincarnate in a new world. And I will grant you a wish. Anything you ask for. Well, if you agree to reincarnate, that is," God says.

" I agree to reincarnate... And you can fulfil any of my wishes?" Arthur says with a suspicious look. " Yes, Anything," God says. " Then, give me a system which will help me be the strongest in the world," Arthur says with a large smile on his face. He remembers the novels he has read until today where the Mc becomes overpowered using his game like the system to level up in a fantasy world.

" System...Okay, then I will grant you your wish. Now, without wasting any time I shall send you to the new world. But just to let you know, you won't be reborn you will reincarnate in another person body which suits your personality. And your world has magic and monsters. So, Be careful!"

Arthur nods his head in excitement and says" um...okay"

The White figure swings his hand making Arthur's consciousness fade yet once again. And at last, says " Farewell."

He hears a large commotion of people around him. He slowly opens his eyes and sees a huge crowd in front of him. Upon seeing him open his eyes the crowd are gasping. He suddenly gets a thought ' Wow, so many people are waiting to greet me. Am I king? or a hero? Finally, my dream to be reincarnated as a great person has been fulfilled. Now, I can enjoy all the riches and women I want. Nothing can sto-' He realizes something is wrong.

He can't move his hand, Nor his feet. Something tight feels around his neck. In an instant, all of his dreams shattered when he finds himself not in a throne or a stage but in a gallows (Place to hang criminals). *creak* a sound resonates in his ear.

His body starts trembling at the thought of being hanged. He turns his head to the side. And sees a person with a bulky build. His short black hair and his dark skin make him appear scary. The huge bulky person is walking towards him. Arthur immediately realizes what that person his waling towards.

' No, no, no don't do it. What about my new life. I am supposed to be the strongest with the help of my system. Huh? System?. Yes, system.' He thinks.

The person slowly makes his way towards him. Arthur, on the other hand, is continuously shouting in his head ' System activates, system, partner, bro. Help me. Please. I am going to die. System?'

The person stands near the lever. One pull and Arthur is gone. He is scared shitless. His system, his last hope is unavailable. He can't talk nor can move.

He is trembling in fear. His heart beating faster than a bullet train. He is rummaging through his mind to find a way to escape from here. To escape from his death. He does not care about why he is about to be hanged. He just wants to live somehow.

In the last second, maybe after hearing his pitiful cries. Miracle happens.

[ System starting]

[ Danger detected. Host's life is in danger]

[ Book of Necromancy is suggested for the host to buy.]

The huge man is slowly reaching for the lever. Once the lever is pulled the wooden board beneath his leg will be opened. Resulting in his death.

Now, a message is in front of him. Saying to buy a book for something. He is in such a panicked state he did not even waste his time reading all the message.

' Just fucking buy it. I am gonna shit myself. Fast do something.'

he cries in his mind.

[ Insufficient Points. Unable to purchase the item.]

*Puff* Gone. Arthur's last ray of hope gone. Now, Arthur closes his eyes giving up his hope to survive. The huge man places his hand on the lever.*Tack* even a sound is produced while his hand places on the lever.

A sudden chill goes down Arthur's spine. He nearly pisses himself.

*Ktack* The lever goes down. Arthur squeezes his eyes, his fists clenched tightly. Waiting for the last stroke before his death. Nothing happens, he slowly opens his one eye and looks he is fine.

The people are muttering among themselves. The huge man is also confused about what is going on. When a person screams " Hey, the rope is loosened from the wooden board." The huge man walks down the gallows to tie the rope.

Arthur again starts thinking if there is anything he can do. When suddenly he remembers playing a particular type of game which lets him sell his own status points.

He gambles all his hope to live on this peculiar idea and says ' System. Can you take all my stats required and convert them into points to buy the book you mentioned?'. He closes his eyes and starts praying it to work.

[ Affirmative]

[-5 strength, -5 agility, -5 stamina, -5 mana has been deducted]

[Converting into points]

The huge man has already finished tying the rope and is once again climbing the stairs towards the gallow. Arthur is closing his eyes and praying for it to happen quickly. He is begging the book to be useful for him to live. As he did not know what that book was for.

[ 20 Points received.]

[-20 Points has been deducted]

[ Book of necromancy has been purchased]

[ Do you want to learn it?]

.

'Yes, Goddamn it. Do it fast. My life is on the line here.' he says trembling in fear.

The huge man is once again standing near the lever. But this time once the lever is down it is game over for our Arthur.

Arthur has his eyes closed, he is praying for it to work somehow.

[ Book of Necromancy has been learnt]

*Clak* The wooden board below Arthur is wide open. In this desperate situation, Arthur collects all his energy and using his experience from playing the games of necromancy.

He shouts out loud " Heed my call, RISE!". In a blink of an eye, a small skeleton pops up off the ground. Supporting Arthur to stand on his legs without chocking.

All the crowd is gasping in fear. The huge bulky man takes a step back.

Cracks start to appear on the ground. * Boom* All of a sudden hundreds of skeletons appear through the ground. Seeing that even Arthur gots scared.' I-Is this m-my doing? D-Did I do it? M-My power? Yeas, it is my power.' he thinks. He is about to laugh when he suddenly chocks on the rope.

" Help me get down." He says upon hearing his command a large skeleton comes forward and with his long sword cuts apart the role.

Arthur falls down his butt. Unable to stand up. " Help me release my hands and legs." The skeleton with sword swiftly cuts apart the rope binding his hand.

He moves his hands and legs after being freed. Suddenly he becomes conscious of his surroundings. He raises his head and sees the ground painted with blood. People's body parts flying in mid-air as if it is some useless things.

Seeing all those things, our pitiful Arthur kneels down on his legs and starts to puke. Just as he stops puking he screams" Stop this at once." All the skeleton stops attacking the people and remains frozen at one place.

Arthur somehow gets up with his feets all wobbly. He looks around all the mess and again feels like puking. But he controls his urges. He gives yet another command " Gather around."

All the skeleton gathers around him and stays still. Good, now he knows all the skeletons are under his control.

[ Mana running low]

Arthur's eyes suddenly lighten ups. He becomes happy upon seeing all those game-like notifications. But again, gets depressed when he sees all the people he killed. Although it wasn't on purpose, still he committed those atrocious sins. Is what he is thinking. ( I can't wait to see when he gets to know his past.)

He makes a depressed face and says" Status".

A semi-transparent screen appears in front of him.

Some people are running towards somewhere. seeing from their pace it is clear they are in a very dire situation.
