Chapter 1: The Skeleton Resurrected from the Dead
Thirty miles outside Pegasus, near the southern part of the quiet forest, there was a hut made of wood and stone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's pouring rain outside, and it's unusually dry inside.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was quietly experimenting.
The rough rock-made table was filled with alchemical utensils, each containing certain magical materials.
"It's going to be successful!"
The young man's face showed a look of delight.
After three days and three nights without eating or drinking, the boy finally completed all the preparations. All you need to do is drop this drop of "Fire Boy's Blood" into a container mixed with seventeen kinds of animal and plant extracts, and this bottle of "Fire Elemental Physique Enhancement Elixir" is all you need to do.
Three days and three nights of sleepless have made him tired now;
The material cost of 15 gold coins plus 72 silver coins depleted all his savings;
But the harvest is more than ten times!
As long as he takes this potion, his constitution will be transformed into a fire elemental constitution similar to that of Fire Boy, and he will have the ability to control the flames. When the time comes, he will become the most gifted flame mage in Pegasus City, he will be chosen to join the magic acropolis, and he will be the rightful heir to the Sullivan family.
And his sister, the current patriarch of the Sullivan family, doesn't have to bear so much pressure anymore.
Everything will come true!
At this moment, a low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and the closed wooden door slowly opened, making a creaking sound, which seemed eerie and terrifying in the early morning when the storm swept everything.
"Switch!"
The boy's hand trembled suddenly, and the drop of fire child's blood dripped to the outside of the bottle, fell to the ground, and seeped in.
The boy's face turned white.
This drop of Fireboy's blood was worth a lot of money, and it cost him a full seven gold coins to buy it from a greedy goblin merchant. Now he has absolutely no money to buy a second drop!
Anger and disappointment swept through the teenager's heart.
He picked up the oak staff from the table and quickly turned around, ready to teach the visitor a lesson he would never forget.
However, what caught my eye was a necromancer dressed in a gray robe, wearing a gray hood, holding a skeletal staff in his hand, and exuding a corrupt aura all over his body!
On the right sleeve of the necromancer's gray robe, a figure of a skeletal staff is embroidered with black silk thread, indicating his identity.
He is a member of the "Church of the Forsaken" from the Western Dead Country, a subordinate of the legendary powerhouse "Forgotten Mage"!
Fear swept through his heart.
He knew that he would die now.
But before he died, he had to figure out who wanted his life.
A necromancer from the Western realm of the dead, who could not have risked being discovered by the Church of Light, came outside Pegasus City for no reason, he must have been commissioned by someone else.
So, who could that person be?
"William! William Barov! It's him, it must be him! He asked you to kill me, didn't he? ”
The boy screamed frantically, but his questioning did not get any answer.
The necromancer looked at the boy with indifferent eyes, the tip of the staff shrunk to a skeleton the size of a fist, and two rays of death energy shot out from the hollow eyeballs, weaving into a powerful spell in an instant.
"Ecstasy!"
With a terrible scream, the flesh and blood of the young man's body quickly shrank until it completely evaporated, leaving only a gray white bone, the color of the bone eroded by the energy of death.
The soul is annihilated, the flesh and blood are gone, the bones become fragile, the dead can no longer die, and there is no possibility of even resurrection as an undead.
The necromancer glanced at the unfinished potion and the blood of the fire boy seeping into the dirt, shook his head slowly, let out a regretful sigh, and then turned away, leaving only the wooden door swaying in the storm.
On the white bones left by the young man, an irregular stone the size of a finger hung around his neck, strung with a thin rope of gold.
At this moment, the stone emitted a faint blue light, and a soul emerged from the stone, and then, under the pull of some force, floated into the skull of the white bones.
At this moment, the storm suddenly became a lot bigger.
The wind swept up the dark clouds, the blinding lightning seemed to tear the heavens apart, the dull thunder buzzed in their ears, and a small group of adventurers struggled through the storm, sometimes a thunderbolt exploded overhead, and their minds went blank.
A terrible storm, rarely seen in a hundred years, like the wrath of the gods.
About ten minutes later, a faint flame appeared in the white bone's skull.
As the flames pulsed, the bones slowly creaked up.
The flames split into two balls and floated into the hollow eye sockets, and the skull swung around, examining it carefully, and then thinking for three minutes before finally nodding.
"I slept for seventeen years and didn't wake up until today. Is everything in the dream true? If that glorious time really existed, then 10,000 years later, are those old people in dreams still alive now? ”
He came from another world called "Earth", and because of an accidental death, he carried a stone with him that brought his soul into this world.
For seventeen years, his soul was forcibly divided into two parts by the stone.
A part of the soul leaves behind all memories and emotions and enters the body of a newborn baby, slowly growing up with a new identity.
The other part remained in the stone, falling into a deep sleep. In a long dream, as a bystander, I watched the growth of another life, through 1,700 years.
Seventeen years have passed, the newborn has grown into a teenager, and the life in the dream has finally died in an alchemy experiment.
At the moment when the life died in the dream, the boy was hit by the third-order necromancy spell "Ecstasy Bone Erosion", and the collapsed soul was absorbed by the stone, and the two parts of the soul were fused back together, and he finally woke up.
When he was growing up as a teenager, he was named "Gavin Sullivan" and was one of the only two remaining members of the Sullivan family in White Horse City, along with an older sister.
Mysterious rules weave the entire magical world, and the birth, aging, sickness and death of any soul can be traced, and a soul and identity that suddenly appears is easy to attract the attention of prophets. If he is targeted by a legendary prophet, it will be difficult for Gavin to continue to hide his identity.
He needs to have an identity to cover for.
From now on, he will continue to exist under the name "Gavin Sullivan", as a skeleton man who has come back from the dead.
The two parts of the soul are reunited, and Gavin's soul becomes stronger.
Glancing down at the stone, Gavin had some anticipation in his heart.
The life in the dream existed 1,000 years ago, 1,700 years, and made him grow into a legendary archmage/legendary alchemist, known as the "Eternal Night Hades".
The Lord of the Eternal Night participates in the highest-level secret project of the "Arcane Empire", and together with six other legendary alchemists, they try to create an alchemical life "Void God Doll" that rivals the gods.
The Void God Doll is composed of seven artifacts, one of which is called the "Life and Death Core", which is the highest achievement of the Eternal Night Hades during his lifetime.
However, at the moment when the "Void God Puppet" woke up, the seven legendary alchemists were killed by the "Void God Puppet" they created, and the cautious Eternal Night Lord activated the fatal flaw reserved in the Life and Death Core, causing the Life and Death Core to explode, not only severely damaging the Void God Puppet, but also his soul was hidden in a fragment of the Life and Death Core, and escaped to a place where no one knows.
However, the power of the Void God Doll has always haunted his soul. Under the influence of the "Void God Divine Power", his soul disappeared little by little.
In the process of 10,000 years, while fighting against the "Void God Divine Power", he created a memory palace, and kept the memories of his life and the perception of 10,000 years in various palaces and rooms until his soul was completely wiped out.
After 10,000 years of serious study, from the intellectual level alone, at the moment when the Immortal Night Lord was completely annihilated, he had reached the pinnacle of legendary mages and legendary alchemists, and had the qualifications to challenge the gods.
So he named the memory palace he created "Hades Palace".
The Hades Palace is hidden in the core of life and death.
The stone Gavin carried with him was the broken core of life and death.
One of its functions is to comprehensively analyze the body and soul of living beings, and to digitize the abilities of living beings.
The life and death core emitted a faint blue light, converging into lines of data flowing in his soul, and with Gavin's soft call, under the action of spiritual power, an illusory interface was formed, displaying Gavin's basic information.
"Name: Gavin Sullivan."
"Race: Skeleton (Undead)."
"Primary attributes: Constitution 3, Soul 19."
"Sub-attributes: Strength 5, Agility 6, Intelligence 18, Spirit 19."
"Level: Level 1 Skeleton/Level 1 Mage."
"Health (Death Energy): 9/9."
"Mana (Arcane Energy): 20/20."
"Status: Weak (Soul Resurgence)."
"Career skills: None."
Gavin's skeleton body, because the bones have been eroded by the "ecstasy", has become very fragile, with only 3 points of constitution, and very low strength and agility. And the great intellect and spirit come from the fusion of two souls, and the experience of observing two beings for seventeen years.
This is the Skeleton Mage's attribute template.
Close your eyes, mobilize your spiritual power, and follow the way in your dreams, mobilize your death energy little by little, build the simplest mana model, and a simple spell finally takes shape.
The 9 points of death energy were completely depleted, nourishing his bones. Gavin's Constitution has been increased by 2.
Physique represents the health and endurance of the body and directly affects health. Health is the square of Constitution. For the living, health is expressed as life energy; For the undead, health is expressed as death energy.
The increase in Constitution gives Gavin more health caps.
"Health (Death Energy): 0/25."
At the same time, in Gavin's stats panel, the first skill appeared in the class skills column.
"Bone Strengthening (Tier 1)."
