"That was so fuking close one. If he would hit me with that staff 1 or 2 more times I would have died."
[HP: 7%] [MP: 1%] [SP: 3%]
"I needed to quickly switch to the spear when my mana run out and sneak up on him. If he noticed me approaching earlier, the ambush would have probably failed back then and I would have died."
"It was risky plan, but I didn't had anything else left, but that was way too fuking close!"

"…. Huh?"
"What is this? Title?"
ClownFrog beginned reading the titles he just got while still laying on his back.
"…. Oh…. Huh. That is quite good. So, is like a special passive effect thing?"
"Reduces the cost when making undead and reduced undead [Necro Mastery] cost."
"Huh. This seem very good. If anything, its extremely good for me."
"Anyway." – said ClownFrog while getting up and then sitting.
"What did I get from that guy?"

"Holy fuking shit. What kind of unbalanced bullshit is this?"
"Plus 46 necro mastery and 32 intelligent?! What in the bloody hell is this?! I looked at the stuff from the shops and none of them are good as this thing, even the items with the higher level restriction than my own."
"The fuck is this bullshit?! Is this even legal?"
"Fuck me. On top of that the staff and the clock has reduce cost of summoning. With the title that is 15% off. Oh my fuking god."
"I'm grateful and all for getting this but what the heck developers were thinking when putting those things in?"
(Well, technically they are quiet useless unless you are necromancer. So maybe because necromancer can really use this items is the reason why it's so strong? Because only specific people can benefit from this thing only?)
"Either way, those item I will gratefully take and use."
"And now you, what is this thing, class book?"
(Burning necromancer huh. That ratman necromancer made its undead into those burning undead, by any chance the thing he used was part of the burning necromancer?)
(It says if I use it, I will unlock [Burning Necromancer] class skill tree if I use this thing, but I need to get [Standard Necromancy], but how do I get it?)
(Maybe do I need to get my [Basic Necromancy] to level 10 and it will get unlocked in the skill tree?)
(Anyway, what is my current [Basic Necromancy] level?)
[The skill level of the [Create: Lesser Skeleton Servant] has reached level 7.]

"Oh! All of my skills leveled up! And [Basic Necromancy] is at level 9!"
"Ohhhhh. This feels nice. Hard work paying off big time."
"I got good items, I leveled up, my skills leveled up and I even got a title!"
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...….."
"Honestly I want to celebrate a little."
"But I'm so FUKING TIRED!"
"I'm getting out of this place and logging off as soon as possible."
[You have logged off.]
"…"
"Fuck me. I freaking did it!" – said the man while taking off the device.
"Oh, my fuking god. Honestly, I was losing hope when that second phase of his or whatever it was came, it fucked me over good."
"But I somehow manage to turn things around. Good freaking thing that I bough a new spear, I bough it become in case of me running out of mana."
"But man. This game is real fuking deal..."
"….."
"Titles."
The man quickly got up from his bed and turned on his computer.
(I didn't known there was something like titles in this game and that they give passive effect.)
(However now I know about them, I need to find out if anybody else knows about them and if so, did they made information on how to get them public?)
"…."
"…."
"…. Nothing huh? Or somebody just don't want to disclose the informations?"
"Either way, I have to find more about titles or wait until something pops up on the net."
"Honestly I want to look bit more into the net and find if there is anything interesting, but I'm too fuking worn out."
"I will try to look at it sometime later."
"But for now, I need to find a way to get [Standard Necromancy]."
Next Day.
As soon as I log in, I decided to go hunting as usually but this time my goal was to raise my skill levels as much as possible so the [Beginner Necromancy] would reach level 10. Pretty much I ended up picking a quests related to area where monsters between 16 to 20 appears.
[You have slain Dark Forest Wolf – Level 19.]
[You have slain Dark Forest Wolf – Level 18.]
[You have leveled up. You became level 19.]
[Some level of your skills changed.]
[The skill level of the [Basic Necromancy] has reached level 10.]
[The skill level of the [Undead Page] has reached level 10.]
"Fuck yea! Finaly, I got it to level 10!"
"Now let's see….?"
When ClownFrog tried opening his skill list, system winddown popped up.
[Conditions has been meet.]
[Skill [Basic Necromancy] level 10 has evolve into [Standard Necromancy] level 1.]
[Conditions has been meet.]
[Skill [Undead Page] level 10 has evolve into [Undead Book] level 1.]
"Oh. Well, that happened."
"So, I don't get from the skill tree, I get it from evolving [Basic Necromancy]? I didn't know skills can evolve."
"…"
"Well, wasn't expecting that, but at least I don't have to spend any skill points."
"Anyway, I guess its time to use it."
[Class Book: Burning Necromancer] – [Rare]
[Do you wish to use item: [Class Book: Burning Necromancer] –[Rare]?]
[This item is one use only item. Are you absolutely sure about using the item?]
"Obviously yes!"
[Item [Class Book: Burning Necromancer] has been used.]
[You have unlocked new skill tree: [Burning Necromancer].]
"…Huh."
"Menu. Skill list."
[Skill tree: Burning Necromancer]
[This skill tree is linked to the [Necromancer] skill tree as well as [Fire Mage] skill tree.]
"I got it by the look of things. Nice!"
"Anyway, what does this class to offer in the first place?"
[Basic Burning Necromancy] – [Cost: 50 points]
[Passive] – [Category: Class]
[Allows you to be able to infuse the power of the flames and fuse it together with the power of the necromancy.]
Increase the [Necro Mastery] stat by 8 times this skill level (Current bonus: 8 points).]
[Branched Skills]
[Undead Evolution: Lesser Fire Fusion] – [Cost: 40]
[Active] – [Cost: Depends on the target.] – [Cooldown: Non] – [Category: Rank Change / Necromancy / Fire]
[Upgrade the undead under your control, mutating them and evolving them in the unique way.]
[The upgrade monster will receive a rank [Lesser Burning Undead].]
[The upgraded monsters will be infused with fire element, making them stronger and infusing their basic attack with fire element. Also increases the undead defense against fire elements by 10%. The bonus defense will increases whenever this skill level increases, up to 35% bonus.]
[The increases defense will also influence resistance against some other elements, however some element attack will deal more damage for bonus 20%, for example water element will deal increased damage.]
[Monsters upgraded by this skill and granted the rank of the [Burning Undead], will have their cost increased by 25%]
[All stats increase: 1.5% times the current level. The stat increase at skill level 10 will be 15%]
[The undead monster affected by this skill will not only mutate and became stronger, but can also influence some of the undead monsters characteristic.]
[The number of the monsters you can evolve with this skill is 1. The max number will increase whenever this skill level increases.]
"This must have been the thing that ratman necromancer used, when he transformed his undead into those burning ones."
(There is also 2 more skills, one of them is attack skill named [Burning Skull] and other one is [Burned Ribcage], a defense skill that also heals? But both of them cost 30 and they have bit of the cooldown and mana cost, but they have good effects.)
(Overall, this class seem pretty good.)
(Anyway, I should also check something else.)
[Skill tree: Necromancer]
"…."
"There is new stuff here. I guess this is because [Standard Necromancy]."
"Hm…"
"Now there way more stuff to chose from, but what to pick?"
"Right now, I have exactly 90 and I need 90 points to get both the [Basic Burning Necromancy] and the evolution skill. Just enough."
"…. Hm…. Okay. Let's go with."
[You have spent 50 skill points.]
[You have learned skill [Basic Burning Necromancy] level 1.]
[You have spent 40 skill points.]
[You have learned skill [Undead Evolution: Lesser Fire Fusion] level 1.]
[The skill level of the [Basic Burning Necromancy] has reached level 2.]
"?"
"Why it leveled up?"
(Why the heck it leveled up? I haven't done anything YET.)
(If I'm thinking correctly, this skill works similar to the [Basic Necromancy], I had to acquire it first to get access to the necromancer skills. And if that is the case, then this skill should also level up based on my current skills level that belong to the same skill tree.)
(But I haven't yet got any yet? Is it by any chance because I got the [Undead Evolution: Lesser Fire Fusion]?)
"…."
"Well, I don't know. The only way to find out is via leveling up my skills and seeing if anything changed, just like before with [Basic Necromancy] before."
"Anyway, you there. Get over here." – said ClownFrog while pointing his finger to the skeleton servant that just killed the wolf monster.
The skeleton servant walked towards the ClownFrog.
"Well then, time to test it out."
"[Undead Evolution: Lesser Fire Fusion]."
A magic circle appeared beneath the undead creatures and suddenly emergent and swallowed a creature.
[Lesser Skeleton Servant] [Evolution: 3 minutes.]
(Its not instant? But that guy only need few seconds to make one. Maybe it was because he was boss monster? Anyway, by the look of things I won't be able to use during a combat.)
3 minutes later.
[Evolution completed.]
[Lesser Skeleton Servant] -> [Lesser Burning Skeleton Servant]
The flames dispersed and the new appearance of the skeleton was revealed to the ClownFrog.
"…. Nice."
(Its entire appearance changed. It look bit similar to those ratman skeletons. Not only that, but that guy weapon also changed? Its also bit burned looking and its on fire? So, this thing also affects weapons and equipment? Or did it only affected that bone weapon because its part of the skeleton servant?)
"Its stats increases quiet a bit as well, however the [Necro Mastery] cost got increased as well. However, the buff is worth it."
"This is fuking NICE."
