[Reshaping the body......]

【Remodeling Completed ......】

……………………

In the dimly lit tomb, there were a number of corpses stacked on top of each other.

The bodies have undergone some treatments, such as the parts of the limbs that were cut off at the time of death and are re-stitched together. Unknown pus flowed from the ground, and the air smelled of decay.

If anyone who has practiced necromancy comes here, they will surely find that the transformation of the walking corpse is taking place here.

In the midst of this decomposing corpse, an intact body was so strange that if anyone could get close to look at it, they could see its chest rise and fall with its breathing.

Suddenly, the body moved, then sat up slowly, holding its forehead with its hands, and a look of great pain on its face.

"I'm ...... Where......"

As my thoughts slowly cleared, memories flooded into my mind.

Family, friends, worry-free living, and...... Brutal skeletons, moving walking corpses, wailing villagers, spellcasters shrouded in black robes......

"My name is Rod, I am the eldest son of a hunter in the village of Saw, I have a younger sister, I used to live a carefree life in the village, but the village was attacked by a necromancer, the whole village was destroyed, everyone was killed. Before I was killed, my last consciousness seemed to see that necromancer grab my sister and say what a born hero...... She should have survived......"

"That's not right...... That's not true...... My name is Rhodes, and I am a professional gamer in the 22nd century of Earth, and I am currently working on the most popular third world virtual online game [Heroes of Might and Magic 3]. ”

"I'm ...... now Is it still in the game? Also, what's going on with this memory? ”

As if to test his suspicions, Rod reached out and touched the ground where he was sitting, and then quickly picked up his hand from the ground. Rhodes looked at his palm, which was stained with some unknown pus.

Rhodes stood up and looked around the scene.

The gloomy tombs, the corpses on display, the roars from the depths...... All kinds of scenes that are difficult to see in reality undoubtedly make Rod have a certain number in his heart.

"Sure enough, I'm still in the game...... Well, the Properties panel. ”

As the thought came to his mind, a transparent panel appeared in front of Rod.

[Name: Rod

Hero Perk: Unawakened

Rank: Tier 1 Militia Level 1 (0/10)

Attributes: Strength 7, Speed 6, Constitution 8, Knowledge 2, Spirit 2

Health: 40/40

Mana: 0/0

Experience Points: 0

Skill: None

Special Ability: None

Spell: None]

Looking at his attribute panel, Rod fell into deep thought.

The three basic attributes of an adult man's strength, speed, and physique should be 10, and according to the memory of the predecessor, this body should still be in the juvenile stage, and the attributes have not yet grown to the average, and the knowledge and spirit are only two points, which means that the predecessor did not have the talent to become a mage. In general, the starting attribute is low, but the predecessor is not very old, and the growth is excellent.

"In the memories of his predecessor, the village where he lived was destroyed by powerful necromancers. But according to the pictures I saw in my memory before, the so-called undead army is actually only two low-level undead troops, the walking corpse and the skeleton soldier, and the magic used by the necromancer is only the lowest-level magic magic arrow and sluggish Dafa. ”

"The necromancer relied on the convenience of the night surprise attack and the ignorant villagers' fear of the undead to successfully conquer the village. If you attack the village head-on during the day, the result is not certain. ”

"This necromancer is actually just a necromancer's apprentice......"

Having judged the identity of the attacker in the village, Rod's thoughts suddenly became clear.

"There are only a few purposes for the necromancer apprentice to attack the village, and in general, they are all related to wealth, whether it is the money in the village, or the value of transforming the villagers into an undead army after death, it is all needed by the necromancer apprentice."

"Everyone in the village was killed...... Wait, according to the memories of his predecessor, his sister should have survived, a born hero...... Hero? ”

Rod's eyes shrank, as if he had thought of something.

The key to the world of Heroes of Invincible: Heroes. Even if it is an ordinary person, when facing a desperate situation, he can awaken and become a hero under the impact of strong will.

But not everyone can become a hero, and many more are overwhelmed in the face of a desperate situation and can only wait for death to come. A person who becomes a hero must have qualities that ordinary people do not have, either brave and fearless, or determined.

Compared to normal creatures of the same rank, heroes can gain a huge amount of attribute bonuses and growth, as well as a unique perk of their own.

"Born a hero? …… It's a pity that I was born in such a remote village, if I was born in the Kingdom of Erathia, I am afraid that I can make a great difference......"

Suddenly, Rod's spirit was in a trance, and a blood-red panel appeared in front of him.

【Soul Quest: Bloodline】

[Brief Description: Since the destruction of the village where you live, the whereabouts of your sister, your only living blood relative, are unknown. Even death can't take away this longing for your loved ones, and you vow to get your sister back. 】

[Objective: Safely retrieve your sister Rowling within 12 months]

[Defeat Condition: Exceed the allotted time or lose the target hero]

[Failure Punishment: Soul splitting, disappearance of the main personality]

……………………

"Okay, coming to this world, inheriting this body really comes at a price. However, according to the general principle of difficulty and benefit equivalence of the system, although the reward for achieving the mission is not said, it should be to get the allegiance of the hero Rowling and inherit the hidden danger of the body. ”

"Since the necromancer apprentice who attacked the village discovered that Rowling was a natural hero, as long as he is not a fool, he will not simply turn Rowling into an undead creature, even if he can get a corpse witch."

"What he will do is either sacrifice Rowling to a high lord in exchange for a reward, or send Rowling to a large auction house in exchange for a huge reward."

Rod thought about it a little in his heart, in short, there were still twelve months, and after confirming that Rowling would not have an accident for the time being, he would ignore the soul task and figure out his situation first.

After everyone in the village has been killed, the Necromancer Apprentice will put the finishing touches on everything from the simplest of looting the village, all the way to disposing of corpses and transforming undead creatures.

How to dispose of corpses to obtain higher quality undead creatures has always been the research goal of necromancers, the simplest is to stitch up the wounds of corpses to reduce the wear and tear of walking corpses, and the second is to use various materials to increase the strength of corpses. But no amount of improvement can transform the corpses of ordinary people into corpses or death knights. A truly powerful undead creature must also be strong during its lifetime.

Based on Rod's observations, the necromancer apparently did a decent job of this. The traces of the corpses that had been disposed of around were all obvious.

Since it is difficult for an apprentice-level necromancer to independently transform a corpse into an undead creature, they can only take the processed corpse to a place where the energy of death is strong, let them naturally transform into an undead creature, and finally control it. The natural transformation will last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the intensity of the death energy.

"These corpses around me are already showing obvious signs of corpse transformation, and when the necromancer apprentice comes back to activate the soul fire, he can become a walking corpse, which means that whether I escape or explore the tomb before the necromancer returns, I don't have much time left." After observing the corpses around him, Rhodes came to this conclusion.
