My Necromancer Class

“ANYA!” Jay tried to scream her awake as she slowly floated down from the yellow ring. If Anya died, Jay would surely die too after Sullivan found him; he knew his life was tied to her – for now at least.

Jay caught her and sat her down comfortably. Looking around, he made sure they weren’t in any immediate danger.

“We need to get out of here” he thought – but he reasoned that if he tried to leave, she may not be able to until she wakes up, and a bayring could stumble upon her – this was a risk he wasn’t willing to take.

“Well, she has 4 HP, I think if I give her enough time, she will wake up” Jay had an idea “But I could try something…”

Jay placed his hand over Anya.

“Restore”

Swirling green gas left Jay’s hand – yet as it came into contact with Anya’s body, it disappeared.

“It was worth a try…” Jay frowned. He still had his necrotic ring in it’s first form, it had automatically absorbed the bones from the dead feeble creatures. For protection, Jay decided to bring back the level 2 Don.

“Raise”

This time, the swirling, glowing green gas left Jay’s hand and mixed with a larger number of bones. The usual popping and snapping sounds happened as the level 2 Don was formed.

When it was fully constructed, it was taller than the other feeble creatures, coming up to Jay’s shoulder now. It’s back was no longer hunched over and it stood proudly. It’s skull was still a soap rat skull, perhaps because those were the only skulls Jay had; though the bone-horns were smaller now. It’s hands still had claws at the end, but they were much thicker and shorter.

As it was raised, the level 2 Don was looking around, examining the environment as if it was now more intelligent. Suddenly, it grabbed a bone floating past it from Jay’s ring._.

“What the…” Curious, Jay allowed it as he raised an eyebrow “What is it doing…”

Green gas emerged from the level 2 Don’s own hand as it engulfed the bone it grabbed. The bone began morphing and turned semi-liquid as Jay’s jaw dropped.

It wasn’t long before the feeble creature was standing there with 2 curved daggers both made of bone.

An ecstatic smile appeared on Jay’s face as he had to try to stop himself from laughing maniacally. Immediately, he grabbed a dagger from his minion and analysed it.

“Hmm, did the feeble creature give up it’s own essence to create this?” Jay analysed the level 2 Don.

[Description]

An abomination, it’s existence spits in the face of life and death. Execute with extreme prejudice.

“It has its own mana pool?!” Jay laughed, his voice echoing through the dungeon.

“Well, I can’t let you have all the fun.” Jay grabbed a bone floating by him, attempting to copy his creatures ability.

“Ok, a dagger. Simple enough. I’ll try copy the ones Don made.”

He channelled his mana and caused green gas to form around the bone, it began morphing and twisting – though it didn’t seem to turn semi-liquid like the Don’s did.

“I’m missing something… hmm when blacksmiths make their weapons, they almost melt it before hammering it into shape.”

Jay imagined his green gas mixing with the bone, seeping into it and turning it into micro-fine particles. This seemed to work as the bone was now semi-liquid.

“Ok now I form you” Jay imagined the shape of a dagger, as the bone was squeezed. Some of the gas left it, while some remained and became part of it.

Before he knew it, he was finished crafting his first bone dagger.

[Skill Acquired: Scrimshaw level 1 – Can use bone to create basic objects]

“Not bad” he said to himself as he looked at it.

“What are you doing?” Anya was crouching down behind him.

“AH!” Jay dropped the bone dagger, jumping up and trying not to act scared as he turned around “I’m just practicing some stuff…” he said, picking up the new bone dagger. “…wait, weren’t you nearly dead a moment ago?”

Anya smiled as she was satisfied with scaring the deadly necromancer. “Perks of being the guild masters daughter”.

“What?” Jay still hadn’t caught on “I thought you were just there because you had a unique class?” Suddenly, it all made sense to Jay – the subtle death threat about him protecting her with his life, Anya’s casual attitude around the guild master, Anya getting a new crossbow overnight, as well as Anya being an acquaintance of the town’s soldiers.

“Yep, Sullivan’s my father. Anyway, I won’t tell him I nearly died – I want to keep adventuring, and I won’t be locked up in the adventurer guild for the rest of my life.” She folded her arms.

“Oh. Good. Thanks. I’ll try to protect you better next time…” Jay looked around “anyway, we made it into floor level 2 of Carter’s Demise. I just need to do a few things before we get moving or if you decide you want to leave. Just give me a minute ok?”

“Sure, go ahead” Anya said as she reloaded he crossbow, then began wiping traces of blood off her skin and armour.

“Ok, where was I… oh yes, my pretty….” Jay looked at his new creation – the bone dagger.

[Bone Dagger Level 1]

[5 damage] – Slashing, piercing.

[+50% damage from back-stab attacks]

[Lifespan – Requires essence from it’s creator to maintain it’s form]

[Current lifespan: 24 hours]

“Ha! Eat shit don, mine’s better than yours!” Jay scoffed to his feeble creature. It didn’t seem to mind that it’s master was more skilled than it as it held up it’s two daggers in celebration, as if cheering for it’s master.

Anya pitied Jay. ‘It seems like he’s a real loner.” She thought, pretending not to look at Jay’s antics. ‘Well, I better spend my attribute points and skill point.’ she silently upgraded herself ‘huh, new ability…’ she smirked.

“Hey Jay, can I test my new ability on one of your minions?”

“What? Oh yeah, you levelled up. Sure, but let me just summon one of the weaker ones. I don’t want to use more bone on the level 2 Don.”

Jay summoned Muffin and the other Don while Anya waited patiently; he made the Don stand in front of Anya and willed all his creatures not to attack.

The Don looked at Jay as it happened – “it is proud of it’s duty or disappointed in me?” Jay couldn’t tell, but neither did he care.

Anya simply stared at the creature and squinted.

“Are you doing it or what?” Jay thought her ability was super lame at this point suddenly, an ancient deep, wicked voice sounded out from Anya as it seemed to shake the ground.

“PROSTRATE”

A shiver went up Jay’s spine as the voice echoed out. Jay felt like he was in the presence of divine royalty. Regaining controls of his bowels, he tried to command the Don that Anya’s spell was targeted at, but to no effect. It was still bowing down to Anya as if it was ready to give up it’s life.

“Shit Anya, that’s so powerful. It’s just amazing. I can’t even make my feeble creature stand up!” Jay checked his creatures status “That voice was so terrifying, it even lost 5 health! That’s way too over powered!” he laughed in disbelief “I didn’t think the Don’s even had the intelligence to understand such a word!”

Smiling, Anya said “It will be like that for another 6 seconds” she then turned away and looked out into the dungeon “…I’m the Ashwind’s accuser after all”.
