Chapter 16 - The Grind

BOOM!

With a violent shake of the ground and a resounding boom the swarm spawner was finished building. It was built like an old windmill except it looked like it was made entirely out of rusting metal. That and the fact that where the front door would be was just a glowing green portal. The ground around it suddenly started turning from black to a gray. Then a skeleton walked out, of a dog.

[Ding...Construction Complete] [Undead spawner: Spawns 1 basic undead per hour, if skeletons or bodies are near by, will use those before creating them from negative energy. Attracts animals to it to use as free corpses. Warning! Will drain negative energy from area!]

"Hmm, so free undead spawn, cool. What's uncool is the fact that it may drain all my living area. Can I kill the undead for xp?" As Malorn ponders what he can do for xp and to fix his upcoming situation, the dog skeleton trots over to him. Woof. Peering down at the thing that is now near him he realizes why it was a dog. "Were you the bastard's dog? Wow, what luck do I have and now I have my own hound.

[Ding...Bind Skeleton hound to your soul?] "What's that do for me?" [Gives you a loyal undead companion that should it die will respawn using you as an anchor using 100xp as a cost] "SURE!"

[Binding....Complete] The skeleton hound suddenly glowed with a green light before the light disappeared. "Hmm, I'll name you Bill. hahahaha." The hound instantly laid down by by his feet. Malorn laughed thinking about the irony. "Now then I wonder if I can gain xp from these roaming undead." Walking up to a random skeleton, Malorn punched it in the skull, which in turn shattered it into pieces.

[Ding, Congrats for skilling your first undead] [+10xp] "That's not that bad all things considered." And with that Malorn went around killing the random undead, while Bill slept on the steps of his house. 3 hours later Malorn came back to his home. Seeing the dog laying on his front steps, "lazy bones." The dog just moved slightly. Shaking his head, he looked at his status panel looking at the wonderful amount of xp he built up. [XP: 12,020] Except for the undead near the gate he ran around killing the undead around, which also never fought back. "Sadly, I'm pretty much out of undead without it seeming too suspicious." Looking over at the spawner he noticed the ground around it in a circle actually turned kind of greenish. He also noticed 3 new undead, 2 zombies and one skeleton. Walking up to the skeleton he slammed a right hook into the head breaking it.

[+10xp] "I can actually farm them! Now to use this huge amount of xp to create a negative energy generator. System, Please use 10,000 xp to make a negative energy generator, please. [Ding]

[Negative Energy Generator: Turns positive energy in the air and ground into negative energy. Negative Energy will become extremely concentrated in the direct area of the generator. Cost:11,000xp] "More than I thought but I'll take it." Malorn was excited as he saw that his xp amount dropped and then...nothing. "What the hell happened system?"

[Generator Integrating with the ground under you....Done!]Suddenly the ground under him turned pitch black. The pitch black ground spread out till all ground around him was pitch black including the grass near the spawner that was greenish. The air suddenly turned cold and the clouds in the sky became pitch black too. Occasionally a small flash went through them as dark red lightning flashed. It became dark, extremely so like one was trapped in a dark room.
