The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

003.

Overcoming the first crisis of real-life sparring with Aden.

With some leeway, I put a few top priorities in mind.

1. The one who is wrapped in a veil must always be maintained.

2. Aden Party or contact with key people must be avoided unconditionally.

3. Prioritize learning black magic and necromancy.

First, there was no choice because the dark magic should not be exposed to the outside.

Currently, the continent is at war with the forces led by the demon king.

In such an era, warlocks and necromancers deserved to be immediately punished upon discovery.

‘That’s me.’

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have played Necromancer.

All of a sudden, a sigh comes out.

But I can’t help but choose.

can’t change jobs.

Until you get stronger, you have no choice but to be careful in the future.

Second, you can avoid it if you want to.

The purpose of the Aden Party is to get revenge on the demon king who took away his precious things.

Their destination, which is bound to get caught up in all sorts of incidents, will be the north.

The location of the tribe I will go to on the surface is in the south.

‘I can leave a letter and tie the Aden party to the north.’

third last.

It was, in a way, the most important factor to get rid of the first and second priorities.

The powers that can be best handled with black magic are black magic and necromancy, not aurors.

In other words, in order to become strong, you have no choice but to learn those two.

In a situation where even hidden skills within the academy are not eaten, when are you going to raise stats other than mental strength and become stronger?

This is the time to choose and focus.

That’s why I stopped by the Golden Library to use the SSS level mentality stat before leaving the academy.

The warlocks and necromancers I caught through all sorts of hardships in Aden Saga 1.

The magic book obtained from them is designated as a forbidden book and is tightly sealed here.

Although I intended to secure some strength after reading them.

“Why not?”

Self-talk tinged with futility flows out of nowhere.

No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find the forbidden book I had enshrined.

Not a single piece of paper, at least not a speck of cover paper, fell to the floor.

The Golden Library only held forbidden books that I didn’t need.

‘What is the reason?’

The shaken composure quickly returned to its place.

The mental power that has reached its peak endowed me with quick thinking and the mind of a clear view index.

Find the cause.

Three elements, physical, magical and mental, are intertwined with the deceased person’s knowledge of the game.

Eventually, they came to find traces that no one else would have noticed.

‘This… .’

it’s black magic

A trace that was hidden very secretly and would not have been discovered if it had not been for the extreme magic power sensitivity.

But I saw it in my eyes.

It was because he had a mental strength stat that no wizard had.

It interprets only by looking at the spiral of mystery and mystery.

It’s not just knowing the skill name and activation effect.

Read the phenomenon and further dig into the secrets.

As much as it is a weakened body, just that alone makes your eyes stiff and your breathing rough.

I figured it out with this though.

To me, anything in the category of magic is like playing with a child’s toy.

‘Stigma of succession.’

The analysis of the magic possessed by the dark magic has been completed.

This was magic to return to the arms of the original owner.

If the master dies, the disciples or descendants receive it instead.

The original owner was all torn to death by my hands.

If so, all the magic books must be possessed by disciples or descendants.

“good.”

Going south is the same.

From there, the chase will begin.

The only way to become strong right now is to rob their black magic books.

Imagine the setting outside the academy.

He recalls the information of the Liches, Necromancers, and Warlocks he dealt with.

destination has been set.

***

Graduation exams have begun.

The atmosphere that had been tumultuous due to Lokram’s vacancy was short-lived, and soon everyone did their best.

These are the candidates who only left the last step.

A place to be reborn as a warrior after a long preparation.

Defeat the same candidate.

Prove your worth with it.

At the end of one such final contest, Aden was victorious.

But he wasn’t happy.

“ha… .”

A deep sigh escapes.

The opponent who replaced Lokram was obviously strong.

However, Aden did not want to become a hero by fighting other candidates.

Lokram. He wanted to be recognized for putting all his energy into him.

Aden has always been helped by Lokram.

Even when he was attacked by all the monsters during the artificial dungeon investigation during field practice.

Even when I gave you a notebook with tweezers when I was suffering from studying for a theory test.

Even when faced with a crisis due to those who raided the academy.

He always gave a helping hand.

always took the lead

Even though no one pushed him, he threw himself out and sacrificed himself.

To Aden, Lokram was an idol.

Maybe that’s why I wanted to prove it with this test.

You helped me grow like this.

“Are you sorry?”

someone asked Arden.

When I turned my head, I saw the priest who was supposed to be my party mate.

warrior of love.

As always, she was looking at Aden with a smile on her eyes.

“Persie. Did you pass too?”

“As you can see.”

Draw a V with your hand, showing your white teeth.

Even her mischievous attitude was sublimated into something sacred.

As expected, she was protected by the Holy Kingdom.

“So Aden-nim. It’s a pity that you couldn’t take the graduation exam with Lokram-sama, right?”

“what… That’s it. I prepared it just for this day.”

If Lokram led it, Percy embraced it.

As always, if you have any concerns or problems, come and ask.

There, Aden confessed everything as if he were confessing.

It doesn’t solve the problem.

but.

“Then wouldn’t it be better to go now?”

“uh?”

Percy always presented options.

Again.

Go to the dormitory room where Lokram is or not.

I was given two options.

“If you feel regretful, it is enough to solve it through conversation. Why did the principal replace the graduation exam with a separate exam? It won’t work if you don’t talk.”

“Yes, you are right.”

Aden stood up.

They were colleagues who were too much for themselves.

I got help this time too.

Even though I was thinking of paying it back.

“Come on. I will tell others.”

Aden thought of the wizard and alchemist of the party.

I was waiting for them

Percy took care of herself.

So Arden made a decision.

“thank you.”

“If you’re grateful, you know you’ll have to persuade Lokram to bring him, right?”

Aden nodded at her expectant words.

“I will definitely.”

The problem still hasn’t been solved, but there is something that needs to be done right now.

Meet and talk to Lokram.

Aden walked out of the test site with a lighter step than before.

Arriving at the dormitory, I knocked on the door where Lokram was staying.

“Lokram!”

The door opens by itself as he calls out to him and knocks.

For a while, I wondered if I left without locking the door.

“uh.”

Aden screamed at the state of his room, which could be seen right through the door.

there’s nothing.

As if it was an empty room from the beginning.

cold and lonely

How the hell did I spend 3 years in this environment?

Arden’s quivering eyes scanned the interior.

There is no sign of a hasty exit.

No, there was only one trace of him.

There is a bed that looks toxically soft.

It was a huge mark reminiscent of Lokram’s body shape.

Arden cautiously placed his hand on it.

The conversation I had with him came to mind.

‘When I become a hero, I will go north. Me too, Percy and everyone. I have something to pay back to the Demon King. Lokram, will you come with me when that time comes?’

Each time he was silent.

After a serious, thoughtful attitude, his answer was always the same.

‘I will.’

the tip of the nose is cold

My chest is tight like a lump.

Convulsions spread from the cheeks and cover the face.

Arden ran the palm of his hand over his cheek.

Tears spilled out and wet my hands.

“Kheop!”

With a blurry gaze, he took in his room again.

Even though he always helped himself, he didn’t want anything.

Even though he defended the academy, he did not ask for anything in return.

The invincible warrior did not contain anything.

The empty room was telling it.

Aden thumped me in the chest.

I wondered what he was asking of this man.

hate against oneself

what does it mean to be a warrior

To protect all people and to set justice right?

How, and with what qualifications, could he stand in the position of a warrior without realizing what kind of life Lokram, who was right next to him, was living?

‘He was a warrior.’

he was a true warrior

Only Lokram was enough to be called a hero.

An invincible warrior who willingly endures penance and endures pain.

I have to pay off my debt to him, but he has long since disappeared.

‘A trace, it must have left a trace.’

The search resumed with both eyes wide open.

Before long, Aden was able to find a letter he seemed to have left behind.

The sealing wax is warm as if it had just been sealed.

I hurriedly took out the letter inside and read it.

When I saw the contents written only to be delivered clearly, I burst out laughing.

After all, it’s like Lokram.

I was relieved to realize that I hadn’t completely disappeared.

[Three years later. Let’s get stronger in the red land of the north. Don’t look for me in the meantime. Aden, from now on, try to make the reputation of the Aden party reach my ears only with the power of you and your colleagues. I’ll be looking forward to it.]

“Three years later. Northern Red Earth.”

Aden, who repeated the two words over and over again, carefully finished the letter.

I had to show this letter to my colleagues who were waiting for news about Lokram.

I wiped my face with my sleeve and left the room.

The cushioning of the bed was restored, and with the letters gone, Lokram’s room became empty in the true sense of the word.

***

“I hope the letter went well.”

I wrote back to say see you when I get stronger, so don’t ever look for me as a sunfish.

Aden and his colleagues were all smart, so I assumed that anyone would have understood it properly.

The disappearance of the ancient books of the Golden Library was also left as a letter.

‘Because you can’t misunderstand me as the culprit.’

You’ll probably read the contents and start your search.

I also left a postal message to let me know as soon as the search results come out.

That will establish a liaison to keep in touch with the academy.

ugh it’s cold

What kind of body is that?

Do you just feel the cool autumn weather feel cold?

He shivered as he adjusted his coat.

Since it was taken out of the inventory, it was clean without a speck of dust.

A function that makes you realize that you have fallen into the game.

When I said it to myself as a test, I was surprised to see it appear in front of my eyes.

All items placed in the room were still in the inventory.

‘Ugh, even after taking a little rest in bed, the fatigue doesn’t go away.’

I’m going to catch a cold like this.

Fortunately, it is a world equipped with transportation, water supply and sewage, and convenience facilities.

I called the carriage in advance, so it will come soon.

As it is a high-end wagon, the inside will be warm with the heat magic.

‘Thanks to my hard work, I have plenty of money.’

I smiled lightly when I saw the amount displayed in the corner of my inventory.

It wasn’t from the characters of the Aden Saga.

All of this was the reward given by the quest.

It was the reason why I was able to do a reputation work with good intentions without cost.

Not having to worry about money is a bonus.

‘furthermore… .’

I gently lifted the collar.

The same engraving as the gold seal on the diploma the principal gave her was engraved on her right chest.

The golden flame pattern that represents the undefeated warrior is impressive.

It was a change that occurred after interpreting the magic written on the diploma and tearing it apart.

‘This is my ID. This is it.’

There is no country that refuses its warriors.

In other words, it was like having a free pass to enter and exit all kingdoms and empires.

Well, even if you don’t have this, you can make enough means to get in and out.

It’s obvious that I’ll get caught up in the incident if I reveal it for nothing.

I just hate being bothered by my body like this.

“… sir!”

I felt someone tap me on the back.

“Candidate!”

I turned around at the distinctly audible cry.

He is three heads smaller than me.

He looked up at me with a puzzled expression.

“Did the candidate call for a carriage?”

From now on, I am the undefeated hero, Lokram.

It was necessary to speak appropriate words and actions.

That way you won’t get any suspicious suspicions.

I straightened my mind and hardened my expression.

“It is.”

“I heard there was no answer even when I called from the coachman’s seat. Where are you uncomfortable?”

I never thought that insensitivity would catch my ankle like this.

Feeling that it is necessary to think of a means to raise the senses.

I shook my head.

“There is no place to be uncomfortable, so take the lead.”

“Kuhm, if that’s the case… Where can I take you?”

At the coachman’s question, I put my first destination in my mouth.

“Go to Glaven.”

“You mean Glaven?”

A look of dismay appeared on the coachman’s face.

I just had to react like that.

Glaven is the city of corpses.

This is because it is the only place among the nearby cities where the body is enshrined despite the demon king’s curse.

But even if others don’t like it, it was like paradise to me.

‘I should go and study my skills.’

Many misunderstandings happened without even knowing in my dreams.

I entrusted myself to my first journey to become stronger as a necromancer.
