Chapter 1: Awakened Profession—Necromancer

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Dragon Kingdom.

Sun City.

The First Awakening Academy.

Senior Class 8 was undergoing an awakening ceremony.

500 years ago, with the revival of spiritual Qi and games becoming reality, humans began the era of “profession change”.

On Earth, demonic creatures ran amok and mutated beasts wreaked havoc. They were distributed in various secret realms and caves.

As for professionals, as long as they killed them, they could gain experience and level up.

The so-called job classes were divided into grades. According to the rating, there were F to S classes.

The higher the rating, the greater the potential of the profession. Generally, the mage class was stronger, followed by the ancient martial arts class, technology class, and so on.

Professions were also divided into combat professions, support professions, and lifestyle professions. Under normal circumstances, combat professions and support professions were the most popular.

Of course, the most popular ones were still the combat professions, while lifestyle professions were the worst.

There were differences in the details. For example, if one changed their profession to one that required a lot of resources, it would not be popular in the early stages.

At least, this was the case for students who did not have good family backgrounds.

As long as the profession was good enough and popular enough, it meant that one would basically have no worries about food and clothing. It would also be a matter of course for one to enter an ideal university during the college entrance exam.

At the Awakening Square.

“Li Letian, F-Class, Miner!”

As the huge Awakening Stone was illuminated by a white light from above, it was reflected on the profession changer below.

The class teacher announced on the side.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Letian with pity.

Miner was not only a lifestyle profession, but it was also…

It was also very difficult and life-threatening. Unless he could advance to a Treasure Hunter during the second transition, there would be little way out.

Of course, there was still a chance if the second transition was good.

“Mu Lingxue, Grade A, Ice and Fire Dual Elemental Mage!”

“Elemental Mage?!”

As the teacher spoke, the surrounding students exclaimed in admiration.

Elemental Mage were very powerful professionals.

It meant that Mu Lingxue could basically be guaranteed admission to top universities like Qingbei University and Shanghai University.

Even if she entered the secret realm, she would be godlike!

Moreover, most Elemental Mages would only awaken one element at the beginning.

However, Mu Lingxue was born with two elements, so she would be stronger at the start!

“Goddess, please help me!”

At this moment, some students had requested to fawn over her.

Mu Lingxue’s expression did not change as she returned to her seat.

“Lin Fan, A-Class profession, Necromancer!”

At this moment, Lin Fan walked to the center of the Awakening Square. As a purple light shone on his head, some skeletons appeared. The class teacher frowned when he saw it.

“Necromancer is a very rare profession!

“It’s considered a hidden profession, but…”

At this point, he paused for a moment before he continued, “But Necromancers are prone to Yin Qi possession and backlash. Besides, unlike other mage professions…”

“As undead creatures are dead creatures, they’re even harder to control. If a Beast Master is greedy and wants to subdue a demonic beast that he can’t subdue, he’ll only fail.

“On the other hand, it’s different for Necromancers.

“Dead creatures hate living creatures, to begin with. Once they fail to be subdued, they might hunt down the attacker relentlessly. Of course, as undead creatures are immortal, they won’t develop feelings for their masters, so the consequences of a backlash are much more serious than that of ordinary wild beasts.

“The last problem is that Necromancers are so rare that there are almost no relevant books. Even in the second transition, Necromancers are mostly unable to escape from the undead.

“In other words, one might have to be pestered by the netherworld creatures for the rest of their life.”

As soon as the class teacher finished speaking, the surrounding students looked at Lin Fan with concern and sympathy.

“Lin Fan is really pitiful. He’ll have trouble finding a girlfriend in the future!”

“He won’t have to hug a skeleton to sleep for the rest of his life, right?”

“Undead creatures don’t need to sleep, right? If he accidentally goes berserk in his sleep, wouldn’t it be too late to run?!”

“There’s probably a reason why there are so few professionals in this profession.”

…

Lin Fan was not too bothered by the ridicule from his classmates.

That was because a special voice sounded in his mind.

[The Growth System has been activated!]

[Congratulations on obtaining an SSS talent: 10,000 times increase!]

‘10,000 times increase?’

Lin Fan was stunned.

At this moment, he tried to check his profile.

[Name: Lin Fan]

[Class: Necromancer (Hidden profession)]

[Level: 1]

[Strength: 5]

[Agility: 5]

[Defense: 5]

[Spirit: 5]

[Mana: 5]

[Item: None]

[Summonable Race: Skeleton Race]

[Skills: Soul Return (Level 1), Summon Skeleton Soldier (Level 1)]

[Soul Return to Origin (Level 1): Cast this spell on a corpse. You can use the distorted negative energy to extract the essence of the corpse’s soul to recover your spiritual power and mana.]

[Summon Skeleton Soldier (Level 1): Summon a skeleton soldier from a corpse. Lasts for 2 hours. Skill ranges up to 10 meters, and consumes 5 mana. This can be cast from behind your back and is an instant cast. All summoning spells have a cooldown of 5 minutes.]

(Skeleton levels are divided into: Low, Medium, High, Elite, Great Elite, Lord, Monarch, Emperor…)

Lin Fan looked at his two skills carefully.

Among them, [Soul Return] was a counter-skill. Basically, it was used to extract the soul from the body of the deceased to help one’s soul recover.

Nonetheless, perhaps because it was only Level 1, it could only be used to extract the soul of one corpse.

As for [Summon Skeleton Soldier], the skill was similar to what Lin Fan knew.

At the moment, he should only be able to find a low-level little skeleton.

Lin Fan tried to use his skill.

[Summon Skeleton Soldier (Level 1)]

A mysterious purple magic circle appeared on the ground, and a creepy sound could be heard from within as if it came from a gravestone.

A gravestone came out and cracked open.

Following that, a white skeleton claw emerged from the depths of the grave, followed by its own skull, and then the rest of the body.

When it came out of the grave, it was holding a small broken dagger.

Even though it was a skeleton, it was a little different from what Lin Fan had expected. This skeleton seemed to be a little smaller.

It was less than half his height.

Its bones looked like they were suffering from some kind of bone thinning. Perhaps it was due to a calcium deficiency or a lack of luster, they were dirty and gave off a feeling that they would break if they were pulled.

When the surrounding students saw Lin Fan summoning a skeleton, they paid attention to him.
