Chereads / Necromancers Rise / Chapter 2 - Death and Rebirth

Chapter 2 - Death and Rebirth

Dying was strange Jake was raised religious but never really understood it. He always thought there was a higher being out there, but if there was why would humans ever be able to capture it's greatness.

"Well said childe."

The voice sounded like a thousand wails of agony shrieked out every time it spoke a word sending shivers through Jake's very existence.

"Oh stop with the theatrics Death dearest."

Another voice spoke this time sounding like a mother beckoning her child into a warm hug.

"Fine fine."

This time the voice wasn't as grating on the ears and soul. Finally inspecting the newcomers Jake set his eyes upon a massive skeleton enshrouded in a cloak it's eerily glowing eyes staring at him and a beautiful woman who embodied the word mother.

"What are we gonna do with this one Rebirth."

"I know let's go with plan 35 Death."

"Good idea hopefully it'll work this time."

Jake continued to stare before finally asking what was on his mind this whole time.

"Where am I."

"Your current deathstination is the realm between life and death where we judge all the souls who die."

"Work on your humor Rebirth because that joke is dead."

Jake 'stared' at them blankly for a few minutes before they finally stopped laughing at their own puns.

"Okay then so what now."

"Well now me and Rebirth are going to decided what your next step is."

"First of all it's Rebirth and I and secondly I thought you said you where going to initiate plan 35."

"Oh yeah well then I guess it's time to send you off after we let you have two wishes."

"Death I think your forgetting something."

"Oh right no matter what you will be a necromancer, however once you are born you'll get to decide how you will advance on the necromancer path."

"What about my memories do I just forget them all."

"No you'll keep your memories and be shoved into a recently deceased vessel."

"So like a dead baby?"

"No no when Death said born he meant when you occupy your new vessel."

Jake felt relieved that at the very least he wasn't just taking over a child's body.

"Now then as I said what are your two wishes."

"Firstly I want infinite minion capacity."

"That comes with plan 35 already so no need to worry about that."

"Oh okay the I want my minions to be able to level up and evolve as for my second wish I want a system that provides missions and has a store."

"Very well then as the keeper of Death I grant you passage through my land unhindered."

"And i as the keeper of the reincarnation cycle grant you your memories as well as the ability to restart."

"So wha-"

Before poor Jake could even finish speaking he was sucked into a new world filled with mythical creatures as well as magic this is Dra-Necromancers Rise tune in next time to see if Go-I mean Jake likes his new body.

As Jake entered his new vessel he gave a start and sat up screaming. Only to find he had a searing headache.

"Why couldn't you give me a warning that shit hurt like hell."

< system initializing >

'Hmm how about System 35.'

Before Jake could speak the name out loud the system ping in acceptance.

< 'System 35' acceptable displaying current options >

'Okay then time to finally look around.'

Jake stood and looked around only to find he was in the middle of the forest and had been sitting under a rather bloody tree. Then it hit him. The person that died must have been hunting and was severely wounded before taking in their last or sorta last breaths under this tree.

"Well thank you for your body and I hope your soul gets another chance just as I have been given."

In front of Jake appeared two skeletons laying down beside two rusted chest plates and two rusted swords. While in his hand appeared a kneeled staff made of a deep and dark colored wood.

"Each if you equip a sword and chest plate."

Neither skeleton budged.

< undead must be named to receive orders >

"Ah well you on the right will be Right Hand and you in the left will be Left Hand."

Both skeletons rose from the ground and stared at him eerily.

"Oh right each of you equip a chest plate and sword."

While each skeleton was equipping something Jake checked out his new staff when he got a system notification.

'Huh system.'

"What kinda bullshit is this I thought I had unlimited skeletons. Dam you Death you cheating lying piece of trash."

While huffing and puffing Jake decided he'd deal with it tomorrow and decided to go to sleep.

__________________________________________________________________

While sleeping a certain god was upset that he was being blamed for everything by a mortal when their was another god to.

"Stupid idiot what about Rebirth she sent you there two."

"Did you say something Death."

With cold sweat running down his back Death replied.

"Of course not oh wonderful goddess known as Rebirth."
