Zach woke up with a serious expression. He stood up from his bed and stretched. Looking around the room, he sighed after a while and went to the bathroom to shower.
Zach: So, it's not a dream.
After showering, he got out and got dressed. He knew that class would be cancelled today.
Zach: A certain accident will happen by looking at the time it should happen within 3... 2... 1.
After "one," an explosion was heard from one of the classrooms, specifically from the science classroom. Zach smiled and went to the forest once more to look for monsters. He spotted a strange-looking cave and entered, where he saw a bunch of goblins. Without mercy, he summoned two fireballs, but before he unleashed them, he used his lightning chain spell, paralyzing them. He then unleashed the fireballs, causing a massive explosion that killed every single goblin within the cave. Satisfied, he was about to leave, but a roar was heard deep within the cave, and the ground started trembling.
Zach turned and spotted a large goblin emerging from the cave, seeking the culprit responsible for the loss of its kin. Locking eyes with Zach, who was slowly retreating, the goblin unleashed a roar filled with fury and despair. Charging forward, it swung its club with such force that even though Zach dodged, he still felt the impact.
Knowing he couldn't defeat it, not even with his multicasting passive, Zach turned and fled without looking back, the large goblin in relentless pursuit. Despite his speed, Zach realized he couldn't outrun the relentless creature. Scanning his surroundings frantically, he spotted a small cave just big enough for him to squeeze into.
He entered the cave in a hurry. Once inside, the large goblin started hitting the walls of the cave, tears falling from its face. The death of its family and friends played in its mind, their charred remains laying on the floor. The large goblin raised his club and hit the wall with so much fury that the entrance caved in. Zach was trapped within the cave, no escape. He turned and conjured a fireball, firing it deep within the cave. As the fireball went deeper within the cave, the light from the fireball revealed many things such as cracks, webs, vines, and a single book.
The book in question was a necromancy book, a secret subclass of a mage. He knew it from the game, he once had gotten it and it was not that good for if you have undead monsters or skeletons, the exp from killed monsters or quests will be shared making it harder to level up. But because there is no leveling system it will be quite useful for him. He approached the book and touched it, unlocking the subclass.
Zach summoned the gamer system and opened the skill menu and was quite to see a new spell: Skeleton minions.
Skeleton minions- a spell that can only be casted by liches, necromancers, and dark mages.
Ability: summon 2 weak skeletons to fight alongside the user, their strength is determined by the training they do and their equipment.
Zach smirked and used the spell. Six magic circles appeared on the ground, and six weak-looking skeletons were created. He looked at them and, with a commanding voice, he commanded them to search the cave. The skeletons, without a second thought, went deeper. They explored and found some destroyed weapons, armors, arrows, and even spell books that are too destroyed to be of use. Zach ordered the skeletons to equip themselves with the loot they have found. The skeletons wore some of the broken armor and grabbed one of the many broken weapons they have found.
Zach tried to summon more skeletons but it seems that there is a limit as he cannot summon more. He knew in the game that the maximum for a level 1 necromancy spell was six. He commanded his skeletons to follow him; they went deeper into the cave and as they went deeper, monsters started appearing each with different strength abilities and weapons. Zach fought alongside his skeletons, gathering many new weapons each weapon they found that can be of used was given to the skeletons as the skeletons have weak weapons and armor worn down and can be easily destroyed it's a miracle that with a single hit of a sword it was not destroyed.
Zach searched the cave's cavern, and as he went even deeper, he found a strange sight: a house in the cavern. It was new, with some trees surrounding it. Entering the house, he was instantly attacked by a ghoul.
Ghoul: a person or monster that is too vengeful to die.
They are stronger in dark places and would attack anyone they see.
Weakness: holy magic, holy attribute weapons, and holy water.
Zach ordered his skeletons to attack. The skeletons charged and swung their weapons, but the ghoul was fast. Zach conjured three lightning chains and fired them toward the ghoul. The ghoul screeched, and the lightning disappeared. A white mist came out of one of the rooms and went beside the ghoul.
Ghost: a spirit of a deceased monster or person.
Weak but can possess monsters, undead, and humans.
Weakness: holy magic, holy attribute weapons, and holy water.
The ghost possessed one of his skeletons and started attacking. Zach conjured three fireballs and threw all three toward the ghoul. The ghoul screeched once more, and the fireballs disappeared. As the fireballs shrank and disappeared, another batch appeared behind it and hit the ghoul.
The ghoul fell and started wailing in pain. Sensing his friend in pain, the ghost went out of the skeleton's body and went to his friend. The skeleton, now free, attacked the ghoul and killed it. The other skeletons, fearing it might be revived, also attacked the dead ghoul. The ghost stared at the skeletons. Feeling angry, it used one of its abilities and threw a table at the skeletons, but the skeletons were fast and moved out of the way.
Seeing the ghost distracted, Zach fired three fireballs, which hit the ghost, and the ghost vanished. Zach went upstairs and saw more ghouls and ghosts.
Zach: Strange, why are they still up here instead of helping the ghoul and ghost downstairs? With that much noise, that should have attracted all of them.
Zach stepped foot on the wooden floor upstairs, and upon doing so, all ghouls and ghosts charged toward him with the intention to kill. But before they could reach him, he went back to the stairs, and they were all blocked by an unknown force. Zach smirked and fired many fireballs and lightning chains toward them, killing all of them. Zach, along with the skeletons, went upstairs and entered every room to find all of them empty, no loot or monsters. He looked above him and found the attic door. He opened the attic door, and stairs dropped below. He ordered the skeletons to go, and they went without objection.
Once the skeletons were upstairs and no fighting erupted, he went to the attic and found old clothes, furniture, and even toys. But as he searched around, he saw a book. He approached the book and started reading it. The content of the book was the history of the house built a hundred years ago. A happy family lived in the house. They were happy and rich, but an unfortunate event happened: their youngest daughter died.
The story is indeed quite sad. The father, in despair, used a forbidden spell to try to revive his dead daughter, but instead of bringing her back to life, he turned her into a ghoul. The father killed his own daughter, who had become a ghoul, and because of the spell, their family had all transformed into ghouls and ghosts. The book was written by a maid who was not turned into a ghoul, but the last entry was quite sad. It was a goodbye to the maid's family. It described the sound of the attic door being scratched and moaning. Ghosts cannot enter the attic as it has magic properties. And with that, the last written word was, "Mother, father, I'm sorry. I will not come home, but I promise you I will always be there for the both of you in your hearts. I love all of you. I know I'm your only child, but please be happy no matter what. Even if I'm gone, I love both of you. Goodbye."
Zach closed the book and started searching around but found nothing. He decided to exit the house and go deeper. After an hour of exploring, he finally found an exit. He went out and saw that the exit was not far from the academy. He used a spell, and the skeletons disappeared. He went back to the academy, tired and sleepy. As he walked down the hallway of the academy, he bumped into someone. He scratched his head, looked at the person, and saw Melissa, one of his bullies.
Melissa: Well, well, if it isn't the loser. I heard your girlfriend cheated on you. It's quite funny, you think that a girl would ever like you. You're nothing but a weakling. You can't even defeat Ron.
As she said the name Ron, a boy with yellow hair appeared, with a cocky smile.
Ron: you know your girlfriend is quite good, she's tight and submissive.
He laughed, and he and Melissa went to Ron's dorm. Zach went to his dorm and started practicing his fireballs, summoning and dispelling them. As time passed, he continued to practice.
After an hour of practicing, he decided to finally stop and take a rest. He laid on his bed, thinking about his life. Yes, he likes this game, but being trapped here is something he does not want. There are many monsters that are able to kill him if he is not careful or powerful enough.
He decided to wander the academy even more. As he wandered the academy, he accidentally stumbled upon a hidden room. He was quite surprised that there is a hidden room in the academy. In the game, he searched the academy, even used an item that reveals hidden rooms, and it did not reveal any hidden room, so it's quite suspicious that a room is here. But he decided to ignore it. He walked around the room searching for anything useful, but he only found destroyed books, weapons, useless materials, and even monster corpses.
He was about to leave the room when he suddenly felt something cold behind him. He turned and found a book that was not there before. He approached the book, and upon touching it, it disappeared, and he learned a new skill, 'dragon torrent'. He was quite shocked; this is a mythical class skill. It was said that this skill was even just a myth.
He tried the skill out, and upon using the skill, three dragon heads appeared out of nowhere, and all the dragon heads started turning 360 degrees, searching for any hostile intentions towards their master. He tried to summon more, but nothing happened. It's like the necromancy skill; there is a limit of how many you can summon. After a few minutes, the dragon heads disappeared.
Zach left the secret room and went to a training room that is assigned to students.
[ In this academy, they have a portal that leads to an infinite space where it generates training grounds for each student.]
He summoned the dragon heads, and each fired fireballs at an insane speed, destroying many of the dummies. The dummies crumbled, and more appeared.
???: hehehe, seems like my 'friend' has found the secret room.
A mysterious person said standing on top of a tree.
???: this will be quite interesting to say the least.
The person slowly turned into a puff of black smoke that went towards the south of the academy.
Back to Zach
Zach felt something was off but decided to ignore it and summoned skeletons to see how strong they were. The skeletons swung their swords with precise accuracy, and with the ability to summon a dragon head that could rapidly fire fireballs from its mouth, he was slowly becoming unstoppable.
With the training room completely destroyed, he decided to leave. It would take about a day for the portal to fix the training room.
Zach decided to visit one of the people who actually cared about him, and that person was Nurse Riana. Once he reached the infirmary, he greeted the nurse with a kiss on the hand. The nurse blushed, and Zach decided to give her compliments, which made her smile and blush even more. Her face was so red it could put tomatoes to shame.
