(A/N: Don't forget to visit my patr3on for advanced chapters. There are two - five more chapters there, thought they need to be rewrite at this moment. And I know that it's annoying, but bear with me on this one )
Hey, game what classes do I have available?
[Right now you have five classes – Warrior, Thief, Magician, Warrior-Monk, and Tomb King]
[The last one is a gift from Han Jihan. Something about making you a worthy king for your world]
Tomb King? That's something from Egypt if I'm not wrong.
[Not really. It is from the Arabian Desert but it's from another world. Do you want a short back story about this class?]
Sure why not. Information is a vital part of choosing my path.
[The Tomb Kings, known as the Priest-Kings in their former lives, are the undying rulers of Nehekhara, an ancient Human civilization that formed a great and powerful empire some two thousand five hundred years before the birth of Sigmar Heldenhammer and the founding of the Empire. Out of all the undead creatures that would claim dominion and royalty over the dead, only the Tomb Kings could truly claim such masterful and undisputed sovereignty. For they had once ruled a mighty and far-flung empire during a time when the rest of Mankind were little more than savage barbarians. Long ago, during an ancient and forgotten age, Nehekhara stood as a shining beacon of civilization and Human achievement; a golden age when its cities shone with majestic splendor, its buildings crafted from magnificent marble and limestone, its armies capable of conquering entire kingdoms. In this long-lost age, Nehekhara's mighty rulers reigned as living gods amongst men. But this great realm was destroyed millennia ago through acts of great treachery and powerful sorcery. The living of Nehekhara perished long ago in a single, mournful night, and in their absence, the dead stirred from their graves and claimed the land anew. Even as their ancient civilization now lies buried beneath the sand, its once verdant plains turned to searing desert and their mighty and glorious empire fractured and in ruin, the Tomb Kings have once more awoken from their deep sleep. Rising from their decrepit sarcophagi, the mummified rulers of Nehekhara awoke with eyes of burning balefire, their thirst for power, conquest, and vengeance just as strong in death as in life. They have returned to reclaim that which is rightfully theirs, their legions innumerable, rising up from the scorching sand brandishing weapons of polished bronze and priceless gold. Ancient, emotionless and spiteful to all those that have slighted them, woe betide those foolish enough to stand before their silent onslaught.] – (This part is from the canon and was copied from the wiki)
Holy shit, that's … quite a backstory for such a class. Will get the chance to go to that world? I would really love to see the mighty Nehekhara Empire with my eyes. Even if it would the ruins of it.
[Someday. Right now, you will be crushed the second you will enter that world. The gods that play in that world are too powerful for you or any entity from this world]
Good to know that I'm a weakling. I choose Tomb King as my primary class.

[Congratulation on gaining the Skill: Summon hero (Tomb Kings)]
[Summon hero (Tomb Kings)–Active

The armor is a nice add-on to my power while the skill may be useful in the future. As of right now, I'm unable to gather souls, but maybe once I level up my class I will gain the skill.
[For making a good point on how you may get skills, you earned 1 WIS]
Well then, let's spam the shit out of [ID-Create].
The first time I used the skill, the world froze which made me think about it for a while. If this world is frozen that means that I won't interact with the real world which means I will be able to wreak this world and nothing will happen to the real one.
[You earned one WIS and one INT for finding a secret function of your skill]
For the next four hours, I spammed all of the spells that I could use and [ID-Create], leveling them to 10 before it stops increasing. Most of the spells got their cost reduced by 20-120 MP while the [ID-Create] developed another sub-skill [ID-Escape] which returns me to the real world.
And now after four hours, I was standing alone in an empty dungeon. Thinking for a bit, I decided that it will be worth it to check the new dungeon and maybe spend the rest of the night there which will earn me three hours of grinding.
Using the [Raise] I summoned 40 Skeleton Warriors and 26 Skeleton Archers, I looked at my small army of undead skeleton, I smiled at them. Maybe they are weak right now and won't stand a chance against a mid-tier supernatural, but when their numbers will be in the millions, I would like to see the fool how will dare to attack me.
Unfortunately for me summoning the last 6 archers took me the whole Cost, but it wasn't that bad. After some minutes, I was ready to fight the Greenskins.
[ID-Create –Greenskins]
Immediately, I was transported into a huge forest. My loyal minions surrounded me in case something dares to attack their king.
Say [Game] are there any villages around me?
[Maybe, go search for them yourself. You need to learn how to command and fight by yourself and rely on me all the time. Love you]
Harsh, but true, I need to learn how to rule and how to be a good commander. At least until a found one that could do it for me.
After thinking for a second, I quickly ordered ten soldiers to scout ahead while the rest of us will remain here and wait for them.
Five minutes later, one of the undead was killed which send his memories back to me. Another trick that I learned. I could focus on some of my undead and see what they see or they saw before their death.
Gripping my Naginata, we start marching in a formation that will protect me from any harm. While I didn't like to sacrifice my undead, my life was more important. They could be resurrected while I wasn't, not yet at least.
By the time we found my scout party, the goblins were already looting them. Bad move little shits, no one steal from the king.
My archers opened fire as soon as they saw them while twenty warriors formed a shield wall in front of us.
I summoned another group of ten warriors and with the remaining twenty, they formed all around me defending me from any ambush.
When the goblins hit the shield wall more than half of their hunting party was killed by my archers and the remaining forty goblins were quickly killed by my warriors.
The battle was bloody (for them), but I managed to gain 2 levels and a bunch of garbage weapons that I could sell or reforge into something better. For now, though, these weapons will rust in my inventory.
Summoning another 2 groups of archers and two groups of warriors we start following the forest path.
Along our way, we encounter another two hunting parties which earned me another 3 levels. Slowly but surely my undead army was growing stronger and by the time we found the village, my level hit the nine and my army grew to 220 soldiers ready to kill for their king.
One hundred and twenty skeleton warriors and one hundred archers were surrounding the goblin village while I was thinking about how we will destroy the gate.
I could cut some a tree and create a makeshift battering ram, but I'm not sure if my warriors will be able to carry it. Fuck it, I don't have the luxury of waiting for a miracle.
I could see the goblins trying to kill my warriors with rocks, but against their tall and sturdy shield, a rock does barely any damage.
Fortunately for me, the trees weren't that tall like in some stories where the trees were hundreds of meters tall. The tree in front of me was only ten to thirteen meters tall and only a meter and a half thick.
Using my mana on my body I created a new skill [Body enchantment] which increased my STR and DEX for a while, giving me the strength necessary to cut the tree in one swing.
When the tree collapse, I heard the goblins panicking, not knowing what just happened. Taking one cheap sword from my inventory, I start sculpting the front of the tree and after half an hour and five swords, I managed to create an ugly battering ram.
Ordering fifteen warriors to come and pick the 8 meters battering ram from the ground. While my archers were continuing their barrages on the village.
While they didn't really kill any goblin the fact that the goblins couldn't counterattack my army was enough for me.
Seeing the warriors picking the battering ram, made me smile for some reason. The goblins could escape so I had my entire army from outside of the gate. I ordered some warriors to escort the ram and they formed a testudo formation protecting each other from the rocks that were thrown at them.
When the ram hit the gate, I could feel the impact from where I was.
I walked near my troops and just as I was near them a rock was thrown towards me. Heh, they thought that I was a weak human and that they could kill me with a rock. Time for payback.
I picked the rock that bounced of the shield of my warriors and aimed at one of the goblins that were throwing rocks.
While I wasn't a powerhouse in my world, I was strong enough to crush any normal human and most of the weak supernatural creatures and beings. So a mere goblin would be obliterated from the power behind the rock.
When the rock hit the goblin, the poor bastard exploded in a bath of blood and guts, terrifying the goblins which were close by.
After another minute or so, my troops were successful in bringing the damn gate down. Ordering my warriors to form near the gate, I had my archers firing at the wall around the village in case any goblin was brave enough to jump on my warriors.
The first thing my undead saw when they entered through the gate was a small horde of two hundred goblins of all ages with different tools and weapons ready to kill them.
I was right behind my warriors and seeing the amount of enemies in front of me, my blood was boiling for a fight and without waiting any longer I rushed into the enemy with my army behind me.
When the two frontlines hit each other, tens of goblins were cut down while I was in the middle of the carnage. My Naginata was cutting two or three goblins each time I swing it.
The amount of dead bodies and blood, destroyed the morale of the goblins which were easily killed by us and while some of them tried to flee through the game, my archers shoot them as soon as they ran through the gate.
Looking all around me, the only thing that I saw was death, but that didn't faze me at all. Another perk of being a game character I guess. The whole fight gained me another five levels putting me at level 14 with an army of 352(180+140+10% of the first two) undead at its disposal.
