Chereads / King of The Deathless Ones / Chapter 2 - Three Adventurers

Chapter 2 - Three Adventurers

Under the cover of shadow, a skeleton was lying on a rock. It was a little shorter than a average human. It had a demonic yet cool face.

Suddenly two dark small red light came into it's  body and it started moving like it had a mind on it's on.

"What the hell?!!!"

"Why does my body feel weird?!"

"And why the hell is it's so dark!!!!!!!" I screamed

"God! Am I a skeleton?"

"Okay calm down" I said to myself

"But why did I got reincarnated as skeleton"

"When I saw those messages, I thought I am gonna get reincarnated as a dragonoid or something"

"There should be no problem with being a skeleton or Undead an long as I am alive"

"Wait that doesn't add up!"

"Hmm, why do I have so much bad luck"

"But being an op Undead would be cool too"

"Now put that matter away and think rationaly"

"Where am I?"

"It's so dark!"

"Goddamn it, I can't stand up because I am new to this skeletal body"

"Damn, it's so dark in here"

"There should be a race skill or something"

"If I remember correctly I should have a skill called Visual Eye"

"Wait, how come I remember that"

"Do I have a system or something" "System!"

"No I don't have a System"

"Do I atleast have a Status"

"Status!"

"I guess my memory is my Status"

"Wow, I'm doomed"

"Now let's be optimistic. I have survived conditions far worse than this"

"I should activate that Visual Eye skill"

"Visual Eye" suddenly the small crimson eyes became the size of a eyeball and was dark like the deep night and red like blood. It was like a blazing inferno.

Everything infront of me became clear as day. I was, right now, in a tunnel or a pathway underground.

"Finally,  I can see"

"But where am I right now?"

"It seems like underground tunnel or something" there was two ways, one to left and the other to my right.

"Which way should I go?"

"I think I will go right.... for now" then I started going into a unknown and dark path.

After continuous walking for 3 hours straight. After a turn in the path I saw something that would change my whole world.

Three humans, one boy and two girls, where fighting Undead skeletons. The Undead was 6.5 feet (20 meters) and had a huge and bulky body.

The boy was had a silver chestplate with a sword and shield. One girl was wearing a robe and had a staff, the staff was stick with a medium-sized blue orb. The other girl was wearing a light armor and had a bow.

The boy was slashing at the skeleton with his sword and blocking the skeleton's attack with his shield.

The Mage girl was saying something, which is probably a chant, in a language I couldn't understand. The Archer girl continuesly shot arrow at the skeleton.

"What the, are those adventurers?"

"They seem to be but why and how are they here" suddenly I came into a very dangerous conclusion.

"Is this place a dungeon!!!!!!?"

"Damn it, how can I reincarnate into such a dangerous place with no strength, literally no strength"

-----Adventurer's POV-----

"Come on Nora, cast a healing spell on me"

"I am trying to Ted"

"Oh God of Light"

"Oh Spirit of Healing"

"Grant me your blessing"

"Healing Aura" suddenly a green-ish blue aura surrounded the Adventurers Ted's body and the blood in his armor evaporated and the wounds regenerated at a speed visible to naked eye.

"Damn it, I can't keep going like this, my stamina is almost over. I am gonna finish it"

"Rose!"

"What?" The Archer girl asked

"I'm gonna use 'that'. So I need you to cover me"

"Okay, I'll try to hold it as much as possible"

"I think I can give you a 10 second at most"

"Will that be enough"

"More than enough" then the boy took some distance from the skeleton while the Archer was holding it.

Then an slight orange aura surrounded around the Swordsman's body, then the orange aura concentrated on the sword.

Then the boy slash, while screaming it's name, at the direction of the skeleton creating a orange blade out of pure mana.

"Flashing Strike!"

The orange blade advanced to skeleton at the speed of a sword slash.

When the blade hit the skeleton, it's body broke and crumbled. Then it fell down on the ground..... unmoving.

"Heh Heh.... we killed it"

"Yeah we did" said the Archer and Mage girls together.

"Now let's get out of here after we collect the core of the Greater Skeleton" saying that he went directly to skeleton's body and used the hilt of the sword to break the ribs and took out a blue orb which was slight glowing.

"Hmmm, let's go"

Saying that the three of them went to another route without realizing that a being was watching them the entire time.

------The Being's POV------

"Oh sooo cool, so that's magic heh"

"But what was that attack that boy used"

"Was that a skill or magic related to Swordsmanship"

"Man fighting is really cool and fun" at that moment the red orbs in his eyes became a blazing fire.

"Wait those guys said something about going outside"

"Should I follow them" I asked myself

"No, I shouldn't do it now because even if I went outside there is no guarantee that the Adventurers wouldn't attack me"

"First I need to get stronger and get a skill that could conceal or disguise my appearance"

"Then I will go outside!" A non-existent hint of determination appeared on his skeletal face.
