[Active skill "Discerning Eye" :

[Active skill "Undead Golem" :

"Woah! That's pretty unexpected. I guess coming here was the right choice. Just, it's sad that I've lost 5 undead. System, is it possible to revive my destroyed undead?" asked Emily expectantly.

[No, it's not possible yet. For this you need a higher level "Rise Undead" skill.]

"Thank you, system." said Emily before going in the direction of the village center.

Seeing all the gore there, corpses of a.d.u.l.ts and children, of villagers, soldiers and knights, and all the supplies and valuables piled near, she thought:

"How come I don't feel anything, disgust or sorrow, killing all these people? I just understood that I don't dislike undead either. I guess it's good that I can control my emotions, it would be bad to freeze from fear during a battle. I think I'm not human anymore..."

She then put all the corpses, including those of her destroyed undead, and all supplies and valuables in her Inventory.

"Well, who cares. I'm in another world, where the rules are different from those on Earth. With all this food, the siblings won't hunger, and using these valuables we'll be able to buy equipment and more provisions if the need arise. I need to faster reach level 10 and evolve. I hope I'll look more like a human then."

In the tavern, Robell and Ramiya were discussing.

"Sis, who is that person?" asked Robell slowly.

"She is Emily, a necromancer. From now on, we will forever be by her side. She helped us in the time of need, we must be thankful."

"Don't you think she is too cruel? She's razed the whole village."

"Robell, they betrayed us, yet you feel bad for them. If it weren't for her, we would've become slaves"

"I understand..." said Robell with a sad look.

Soon, Emily came, and they marched towards the graveyard, leaving behind a village engulfed in flames.

"Are we going back to the graveyard?" asked Ramiya.

"Yes, there are a lot of corpses I can resurrect. If we want to live we need power. Once we get there, both of you will start training daily. You have to improve your body and skills."

"We understand."

"Good. Now let's use some points. I'll put two into agility, for it to be the same as strength, and the rest in intelligence. "

Her mana capacity had rised to 248, and it will take 10 hours for a full recovery from 0.

"Now I can make three undead from a go. System, how many days until I finish resurrecting all the graveyard?"

[Master, it will take you a little less than 35 days.]

"Good! Around a month and we'll leave from there."

Unknown to Emily and her companions, in the capital of Themo kingdom, Themburg, a knight was kneeling in front of a person on a gold throne. The person on the throne was Themo's king, Fergus Themo. He had the appearance of a good looking middle aged man with silver hair. His face was stoic, body trained, and had an aura suiting the royalty.

"What happened that you requested an urgent audience?" asked the king.

"Your highness, Brisa village was destroyed. All villagers dissapeared. All we found are some traces of a battle and blood. There aren't any corpses at all. Also, the Baron Randall's son disappeared somewhere around that location."

"Hmm... Who do you think is involved in this? Could it have been those sneaky elves?"

"Even though it's not the way they're doing things, we think so. Brisa was near the borders with Arla kingdom, and for something like this, a force large enough is needed."

"Looks like we have to teach them a lesson. Send for General Cox, let him organize the army. Also, send for Sir Nathan Reed and let him investigate the village."

"Yes, my king." said the knight and rushed out of the throne room.

"Looks like war is coming again..."

========>>>>

In the western forest of the Themo kingdom, two humans were fighting against a group of undead. Those two were Ramiya and Robell, fighting against the rogue and wolf squads at the same time. Half a month passed already from the Brisa incident.

"Fight against strong foes if you want to become strong. As the saying goes, "Hard in training, easy on the battlefield"." said Emily looking at her comrades and family sparring. "Bob, Kate and Robin, you and your squads will accompany me for a walk in the forest. The rest of you protect and train with the kids."

When her "Rise Undead" skill reached level 2, she could use half the mana for the same result. When it reached level 3 not too long ago, it gave the posibility of creating new undead.

Also, she finished the quest of resurrecting 100 undead and got 10 attribute points, 1 skill point and the active skill "Life Drain", also she got a new quest for 500 undead. She spent the skill point on the Inventory skill, that can now hold anything smaller than 4.5 meters, while Life Drain could be used on others to drain their health points and regenerate her own.

Soon, Emily departed with three squads: the skeleton archers squad, whose leader was Robin, and the zombie runners and skeleton swordsmen, leaded by Kate and Bob. Each squad had around 35 undead.

She learned from Ramiya about different monsters that live in that forest. It seems she hasn't met anything really strong becouse she was always at the outskirts of the forest. The deeper she goes, she will meet stronger monsters.

"Ramiya said there are rumors about dragons in the forest's deepest parts. I don't think it's a problem, becouse this forest is way too big and I don't plan going that far."

Soon, she met again those little green creatures. Thanks to her senses, she was able to detect them first. It was a big group of around 20 goblins.

"It's a good chance to level up the archers. Guys, get in formation. Robin front, Bob back and Kate covers the flanks." The undead got in formation really fast thanks to the training on formations and tactics given by Emily and Ramiya.

"Ready, aim... Fire!" A barrage of arrows shot towards the ugly goblins, landing on their heads, necks and body. From the group of 20 goblins 4 were left unscathed, 2 were gravely injured and the rest died or were dying.

"Kate, get them!" As one of the fastest squads at her disposal, the zombie runners reached the goblins in no time and cut their throats.

"Good job everyone." After putting all of them in her Inventory, Robin approached her.

"Master, seems like they were going south, further into the forest."

"Hmm... Let's go in their direction. Who knows what we can find."
