In the desolate realm of the undead, Jin, the unlikely skeletal hero, found himself pondering over his newfound bone creation ability. Despite being a mechanic in his previous life, his dreams of becoming a fully-fledged professional were cut short due to financial constraints. Now, thrust into this world through the mysterious intervention of Truck-kun, he sought to explore the potential of his unique power.
Drawing upon his inventive mind, Jin decided to experiment with his bone creation ability. He began with a simple knife, honing its edges until it was razor-sharp. Satisfied with his success, an idea sparked in his mind. Inspired by the iconic Wolverine from X-Men, he set out to create his own set of retractable bone claws.
First, Jin crafted six bones, each half a foot long, resembling the shape of an elbow joint. Using his reassembling ability, he skillfully connected the first set of bones to his elbow, ensuring a secure attachment. With meticulous precision, he repeated the process, creating a second set of bones and attaching them to his wrist. Notably, there were three smaller elbows he had created.
Next came the final step in his plan. Jin fashioned three additional bones, each extending from his wrist to his elbow. He affixed the two elbows he had created earlier to these bones. By controlling the connected bones, Jin could manipulate them like claws, retracting them to form wrist guards or extending them outward to resemble lethal appendages.
With his newly created bone claws, Jin marveled at the ingenuity of his invention. It was as if his mechanical skills from his previous life had seamlessly merged with his newfound abilities as an undead adventurer. He tested the claws' movement, extending and retracting them effortlessly, and marveled at their dexterity.
Eager to test his creation further, Jin realized that he needed to recover his energy spent from creating the bone claws. He sought a moment of respite and found a secluded spot where he could rest. As he regained his strength, he became aware of a faint rustling noise nearby, as if something was approaching.
Curiosity piqued, Jin turned his attention towards the source of the sound. To his surprise, a bone eater vine emerged from the shadows. The writhing mass of tentacle-like vines pulsed with a dark energy that sent shivers down his non-existent spine. Its thorny tendrils reached out, sensing the bone in Jin's proximity and hungering for its essence.
In an instant, a name appeared above the bone eater vine - "Bone Eater, Level 7." The description indicated its insatiable appetite for bones and its ability to sense them from afar. Jin's heart raced as he realized the danger he was facing. He was just a Level 1 undead, completely outmatched by this formidable foe.
Fear gripped Jin's skeletal form as he instinctively turned and fled from the bone eater vine. But no matter how fast he ran, the relentless creature pursued him, its thorny tendrils stretching and reaching with each passing moment.
Jin knew he couldn't outrun the bone eater vine forever. He needed a plan, a strategy to evade or overcome this monstrous adversary. As he continued to flee for his unlife, thoughts raced through his mind, contemplating his next move and desperately searching for a way to turn the tide in his favor.
To be continued.
