Chapter 1: Little Skeletons

In the white and empty world, there is no vegetation, and there is no sign of any living creatures, only white bones.

In a small cavern, a small skeleton was sitting cross-legged, two white bones to be exact.

In the white head of the little skeleton, the crystal fire flashed and flickered, and this crystal fire was the soul fire of the little skeleton.

Obviously, the little skeleton is an undead creature, or rather an undead dead creature. And the soul fire is the sign of undead creatures.

At this time, this little skeleton sitting quietly in the cave was meditating.

Locke is the name of the little skeleton, this name is not his own idea, but the little skeleton was given the real name of the contract by the plane rules of the undead world when the soul fire was born.

And this also shows that in this undead plane, every undead creature born has its own real name.

Locke was fortunate and unfortunate at the same time. Luckily, it was a rare mage skeleton among skeletons when it was first born, and it had the talent of meditation, and it was also able to refine a little undead power into its bones. Unfortunately, this Locke was born out of a small skeleton, and in terms of combat power, Locke was far from being one of those tall skeletons that were born at birth.

At this time, if Locke is in front of other skeletons, it is very likely that he will be devoured by other skeletons of the same level, and of course, it is also possible to encounter higher-level skeleton creatures, and higher-level skeleton creatures naturally look down on the soul fire of a zero-level mage skeleton.

Fortunately, the little skeleton is an undead creature with endless time, hiding in his cave, and he is not worried about being found by other skeleton creatures to devour the soul fire.

In this small cavern, the little skeleton has not left for decades. In fact, not long after the little skeleton was born, it found such a small cave and hid in it.

Decades is perhaps a long time for creatures in the Lord's realm. However, for the undead of the undead on the undead plane, they have eternal life, they have no concept of time, and decades are not much different from an instant.

During these decades, the only thing the little skeleton has learned is to learn to meditate. However, the strength of the little skeleton that has learned to meditate has not increased at all, and it is still a zero-level little skeleton equivalent to a magic apprentice.

A skeleton mage, who can cast it, is naturally necromancy. However, it is impossible for a Level 0 undead skeleton to unleash any undead magic.

As a zero-level skeleton, Locke's only mastery is meditation. Unable to cast undead magic, Locke couldn't even beat a newborn skeleton warrior.

Generally speaking, a level zero mage at the level of magic apprentice, unless with the help of magic items, has enough magic and mental power to release any attack magic.

In the undead plane, it is naturally impossible for Locke, who is only level zero, to have precious magic items, and even some powerful high-level mage skeletons are difficult to obtain a magic item.

Moreover, even if Locke can advance to the rank of a first-level skeleton mage, or even a second-level skeleton mage, he is not an opponent of a warrior of the same level. Without the help of magic items, the strength of mages of the same level is generally weaker than that of warriors of the same level.

Of course, this is only the strength of low-level mage warriors, once the strength of mages and warriors reaches a high level, the strength is not only based on the level, a powerful weapon, a powerful magic prop, and even the combat skills and magic mastered by warriors and mages determine the strength of their performance.

As an undead creature, there is only one way to quickly increase your strength, and that is to devour the soul fire of other undead creatures. And the little skeleton of level zero obviously does not have the strength to capture the soul fire of other undead creatures.

Fortunately, the little skeleton didn't have the slightest idea of seizing the soul fire. The instinct for danger made the little skeleton never dare to leave this low cavern. The other skeletons either didn't look down on this low cavern, or they didn't find this hidden place. What's more, as the lowest-level skeleton creature with an IQ close to zero, it is difficult for the little skeleton to have the idea of leaving the cave on its own initiative.

For the little skeletons, the outer world is too dangerous. Locke was not born in the vast sea of skeletons, but in a remote corner of the world of the dead, and along with the small skeletons, hundreds of skeleton beings were born.

In the Sea of Skulls, a large number of skeleton lives will be born every day, and a weak existence like a small skeleton is impossible to get out of the Sea of Skulls, and the soul fire of a zero-level skeleton, although the slightly stronger undead life is not worth it, but for the other skeleton lives that have just been born, it is a great supplement, enough for such a zero-level skeleton life to be stronger when it walks out of the Sea of Skulls.

The Little Skull was born from a skull pit with hundreds of skeletons and a large number of bones, and was the last skeleton to be born of them. The skeleton life that was born before the little skeleton has already left the place of birth, so that the fragile little skeleton that was born can keep its soul fire.

By the time the little skeleton was born, many of the skeleton lives that were born first in this skeleton pit had been promoted to first-level skeleton lifeforms, and even a few had already successfully advanced to second-level skeleton warriors. Of course, there are also many more skeletons whose lives have long since fallen, and have been robbed of the soul fire by other skeletons of the same level.

Soon after Locke was born, he happened to encounter a scene where two skeleton warriors who were at least level 2 or above were fighting each other, and the explosion of combat power during the battle between the two skeleton warriors made Locke frightened. Locke knew that any blow from these two skeleton warriors could completely shatter their skeleton frame.

Fortunately, the strength of these two skeletons is not weak, and they can't look down on the soul fire of the newborn zero-level little skeleton at all.

In the end, the two skeleton warriors, who were far stronger than Locke, ended the fight between the two sides with one dead and one wounded, and the winner captured the soul fire of the loser. Locke also watched the whole battle between the two powerful skeletons, and Locke, who was intimidated by the powerful breath, did not dare to move at all except lying on the ground and pretending to be dead.

After seeing the dangers of the world of the dead, Locke found a small cave nearby to hide, and it was in this way that Locke was able to keep the soul fire, and for decades, his strength barely improved.

For undead creatures, if they want to quickly improve their strength, the only way to devour the soul fire of the same level or higher existence is to devour it. Otherwise, it can only be like Locke, even if it takes a long time to cultivate, the improvement of strength is extremely slow, close to nothing.

Fortunately, for undead life, time is meaningless, and there is no concern about longevity.

Therefore, for decades, Locke has been staying in a safe and hidden cave to slowly grow his soul fire and improve his strength through meditation.

Suddenly, a burst of white light flashed on the soul fire of the little skeleton that was meditating.

When Zhang Feng was about to open his eyes in his sleep, he found that he had no eyes. It's not that Zhang Feng lost his eyes, but that Zhang Feng found that he had strangely turned into a small skeleton.

Soon Zhang Feng understood what had happened to him. I actually crossed over, and I crossed over to a small skeleton.

Originally, Zhang Feng was a small clerk of a company, working hard, and could only get a meager income. This is also because, when Zhang Feng was in college, he chose an unpopular professional ancient literature department for his ideals, and he also specialized in oracle bone inscriptions. After graduation, Zhang Feng couldn't find a job with a professional counterpart, and finally just found a job that even junior high school students could do, so naturally he had no satisfactory income.

At this time, a depressed little clerk crossed over to a small skeleton on the undead plane, and his soul fused with the soul fire of the little skeleton. What Zhang Feng got from this little skeleton was a real name given by the undead plane, Locke, and the meditation method learned by the little skeleton, as well as this fragile skeleton shelf.

To Zhang Feng's surprise, this little skeleton didn't have any knowledge of the information of his living world, and only had a desire to survive and a fear of other undead creatures.

After knowing that he had crossed over, Zhang Feng quickly accepted the fact that he had crossed into a small skeleton, and also accepted his new name, Locke.
