Frozen Rock Trolls

Mutationen traten weltweit auf und bald darauf folgte eine dämonische Apokalypse. Um sich gegen dämonische Wesen zu verteidigen, traten die Menschen schnell in ein globalisiertes digitales Zeitalter ein. Jeder konnte sich zwischen einem Kampf- oder Unterstützungsberuf entscheiden, sobald er das Alter von 18 Jahren erreichte. Diese Menschen wurden durch das Töten dämonischer Wesen stärker. Lu Yan erwachte zum schwächsten Beruf, einem Nekromanten. Allerdings erhielt er auch ein Beruf-Unterstützungs-System und konnte in einen verborgenen Beruf, den Herrn des Todes, wiedererwachen. "Nekromanten sind so schwach, dass sie mit einem Schlag sterben!" "Mann, das Glück dieses Typen ist einfach das Schlechteste. Er hat zwar einen Kampfberuf bekommen, aber es ist der schwächste. Was kann er schon tun? Ein paar Skelette beschwören?" "Außerdem gibt es doch nur eine Handvoll Nekromanten da draußen, oder? Es gibt nicht viele Erfahrungen oder Ressourcen, die sie erben können. Ihre Zukunft sieht düster aus." "Vergiss die Nekromanten! Ich habe den Beruf des Heiligen Ritters bekommen! Euer Allround-König ist hier!" Kurz darauf erschien Lu Yan in einer vollständigen Rüstung aus Todesnether, schwang die Todesseelensense und führte eine 100.000 Mann starke Todesarmee an. Mit einem einzigen Schwung seiner Sense spaltete er das mythische Dämonenmonster in zwei Hälften. "Nekromanten sind schwach? Was hat das mit mir zu tun, dem Herrn des Todes?"

Mutasi terjadi di seluruh dunia dan segera, sebuah kiamat iblis melanda. Untuk mempertahankan diri terhadap makhluk iblis, manusia dengan cepat memasuki era digital yang terglobalisasi. Semua orang bisa memilih antara pekerjaan bertarung atau mendukung melalui kebangkitan ketika mereka mencapai usia 18 tahun. Orang-orang ini akan menjadi lebih kuat dengan membunuh makhluk iblis. Lu Yan terbangun dengan pekerjaan terlemah, seorang Necromancer. Namun, dia juga menerima Sistem Dukungan Pekerjaan dan dapat bangkit kembali menjadi pekerjaan tersembunyi, Tuan Kematian. "Necromancer itu begitu lemah sehingga mereka mati dalam satu serangan!" "Hei, keberuntungan pria itu sangat buruk. Dia memang mendapatkan pekerjaan bertarung, tapi itu yang paling lemah. Apa yang bisa dia lakukan? Memanggil beberapa kerangka?" "Juga, bukankah hanya ada segelintir Necromancer di luar sana? Tidak banyak pengalaman atau sumber daya untuk mereka warisi. Masa depan mereka tampak suram." "Lupakan Necromancer! Aku mendapat pekerjaan Ksatria Suci! Raja serba bisa kalian ada di sini!" Tidak lama setelah itu, Lu Yan muncul dengan satu set lengkap Armor Kematian Nether sambil memegang Sabit Jiwa Kematian dan memimpin pasukan kematian yang berjumlah 100 ribu orang. Dengan sekali ayunan sabitnya, dia membelah binatang mitos peringkat iblis menjadi dua. "Necromancer itu lemah? Apa hubungannya dengan saya, Tuan Kematian?"

Kael Kaladril had once been the prince of Winterpeak, a boy with simple dreams—none greater than marrying the girl he loved. But fate had other plans. On his fifteenth birthday, his rightful claim to the throne was shattered when his own uncle, Jonathan Kaladril, sought to end his life. Bleeding out against a snow-covered rock, Kael’s vision blurred as he watched his uncle turn away, indifferent to his pleas. The assassin’s blade arced toward his neck, death mere moments away. Then—time stopped. The world stood frozen, save for Kael and the enigmatic figure before him. A god of mischief, hand outstretched, eyes gleaming with amusement. "Who… who are you?" Kael rasped, blood filling his mouth. "Who I am is of no importance, boy," the god replied, his voice layered with something strange, something unsettling. "Then… what does?" Kael forced the words past his pain. The god’s lips curled into a knowing smile. "A bargain." His outstretched hand beckoned. "Give me your soul, and I will give you the power to seek vengeance." Kael hesitated, staring at the god’s palm. A choice lay before him—one that could never be undone. But hesitation was fleeting. Summoning what little strength remained, he bit his lip and forced his trembling hand to rise. Fingers slick with his own blood, he grasped the god’s hand. "I accept your bargain."

When I opened my eyes, I was no longer on the pavement. Instead, I floated in a pristine, glowing void. Before me hovered an old man with a white beard, a golden toga, and the same deadpan expression as a DMV worker. “Oh, great,” I muttered. “I’m dead, aren’t I?” “Yes,” the old man said, stroking his beard. “And you have been chosen for reincarnation in another world.” My eyes widened. “Wait. Hold up. Are you telling me… I’m getting isekai’d? Like in the anime?” The old man nodded. “Indeed. You have been selected to wield a powerful system, one that will grant you abilities beyond mortal comprehension.” I fistpumped. “Hell yeah! Overpowered skills, here I come!” The old man coughed. “Yes, well… about that.” I narrowed my eyes. “What do you mean, about that?” “You see, we have too many reincarnators lately. We can’t just be handing out godtier powers like candy anymore.” I folded my arms. “Okay, so what are we talking? A slightly nerfed cheat? A balanced growth system?” The old man looked away. “You’ll… figure it out.” My stomach dropped. “Oh, hell no. You’re about to scam me, aren’t you?” “I would never!” the old man said, voice dripping with totally believable innocence. “Now, off you go!”
