16 Chapter 16: Dangerous x Date
Now, with this secondary class slot the system is giving me a chance here.
I can get a warrior subclass to go spell blade or I can even get a production class to produce magical items. Going down the path of the biblical god in DxD and producing some absurd stuff.
I could go rogue and become an arcane trickster. Becoming an absolute pain in the ass for anyone that tries going against me.
There is also the option of being a magical ranger like an archer from fate. Those guys are capable of some absurd stuff like summoning thousands of magic guns or releasing nuclear arrows.
Or... I could double down on Magician.
Instead of having the combined powers of a melee and magician class and using their synergy why don't I combine the powers of magician and magician?
How could there be greater synergy than that? Besides, with my innate cursed technique, it would be stupid to not take the necromancer class.
So after leaving the dungeon, I brought out the Book of Death. A book covered in bloody bandages. And the moment the book was held in my hands I was notified.

That's what I am talking about baby. Now I had the ability to make undead that actually retained at least a portion of their original abilities which is great, I wouldn't want to waste every exotic corpse I saw with create undead. And ow I could figure out a way to use all of that undead flesh bone and junk I had clogging up my inventory with rituals. But all of these had a time and place. I could figure out how to become a lord of death later.
For now, I should also roll my gacha, maybe I can find something for fighting against Raynare and her cronies.

[Ring of Life]

Oh, that's rather nice actually. My lacking HP pool is actually one of my concerns. I quickly slipped the ring onto one of my fingers as it automatically adjusted its size. The ring was a silver band with intricate red carvings all over.
____________________________________________
[Mana Crystal]
Increases your maximum CE by 20.
____________________________________________
Eh, it's better than nothing. I brought out the crystal and used it, bringing my total cursed energy pool to 1,860 which was honestly quite nice. Now that those are out of the way I can finally pass out!
*THUD*
...
After waking up I took a bath to finally get clean from the copious amounts of blood, sweat, differently colored blood and everything in between clinging to my body.
Huh, this reminds me of the random bloodied spots around my house from when I come back home from dungeoning.
I would hire like a cleaning service to clean it up but...
1. I am broke as all hell. And I don't think cleaning companies would accept cursed medival weaponry as payment.
Well even if they did I am not sharing.
2. I don't want to bother giving an explanation to the cleaning crew about why there are so many spots of dried cranberry juice around the house.
Sigh, maybe I will be able to create an undead maid to clean up this place one day.
After my shower, I decided to spend some time just... relaxing and unwinding my nerves until I had to go on my date with "Yuuma". Being too tense there would not do me any favors.
And before too long the time came and I got dressed for the most dangerous date I would likely ever have.
For my outfit, I decided to take a page out of the guy I already plagiarized just by existing, by using one of his outfits.
I got dressed in a long sleeve white shirt with a dark tan button-up shirt over it and cyan jeans with a belt and lastly some white sneakers and a watch.
Not to forget my signature sunglasses. I had to go out and buy another pair since I broke the last two.
I have like... around 3000 Yen at best to my name right now.
How funny, a broke-ass Sorcerer/Necromancer. I really need to make some money soon somehow. But now?
I have a date.
...
'She could've at least been punctual.'
I stood next to a bench as I checked my phone looking at the time and waiting for Yuuma to arrive. For some reason the crowd was unusually interested in me, always glancing at me and whispering among themselves.
As I was contemplating about whether this date was even a good idea in the first place I heard Yuuma's voice calling out to me.
"Akira-kun!" She was wearing a cute pink top with a short frilly black skirt and pump heels to match. Honestly, I would think she is pretty cute if I didn't already know she was trying to kill me.
"Sorry, did I keep you waiting?" She said while trying to be cute.
"Yes, you did but it's fine." When I said those an unknown emotion went across her face for a split second but she hid it well.
'Let's see your plan, crow.'
...
Gotta say, Raynare is unusually good at acting. I guess that is what a long-ass lifespan does to a crow. She was also decent company I guess. We toured the shopping district for a good while. As we walked Raynare brushed her hand against mine and blushed while I kept a stone face. Seeing that -1 affection from her due to frustration just made my day.
Though I tried my dammed hardest to steer her away from any expensive shopping places. My wallet was already on emergency care and has an IV stuck to it. It wouldn't be able to handle the financial weight of an actual date.
But in the end, she made me go into a clothing store and made me try on some clothes. For some reason that felt like the only part of the date she genuinely wanted to do.
We ended up at a cafe place at Yuuma's request. In there she seemed to get the idea that I wasnt really a blushing virgin as she suddenly started getting bolder.
"Hey Akira-kun, what type of girl do you like~?" She said in a sultry voice as she leaned over slightly, exposing her bra.
'Preferably the type that doesn't try to kill me.' Obviously, I didn't voice those thoughts.
"I never really thought about it." As I said this I suddenly felt something soft push up against my groin making me freeze. I looked at Raynare and saw a seductive smile on her face.
"Really? Then what do you think about me? Do you think I am your type?" Her soft foot started massaging my groin, moving up and down as I got more erect, and made me harder to think due to my flaw. But her foot really did feel really good. Especially for a "never felt the touch of a woman" virgin like me.
"Maybe." I managed to force out as Raynare gave a smug smile and retreated her foot and resumed drinking her milkshake. I felt angered at the fact that I felt disappointed and getting teased further with her playing with the banana on her shake while flashing cleavage at me didn't help.
It's fine though.
I would wipe that smirk off her face soon enough.
...
After a long day, we ended up at the park where there strangely weren't any other people. Yet by closing my eyes, I could feel 3 large magical signatures just outside the perimeter of the park. As we were walking toward the fountain Raynare suddenly went ahead before turning before me and leaning forward.
"I had such a fun day today! What about you Akira-kun?"
"I had fun too." I said, starting to psyche myself up.
"That's great! Then do you mind doing me a favor to commemorate our first date?" She said, her grin growing wider ever so slightly and her eyes narrowing.
"Maybe, what is it?" I answered with false nonchalance as I prepared my skills.
"Could you die for me?" Her Yuuma persona completely fell apart as her voice went deeper and her features grew more mature. And in a moment her clothes tore themselves apart, just for a moment flashing her bare body to me but I did not have enough time to appreciate as what I could describe only as BDSM gear replaced her former clothes and black wings like a crow's grew out of her back.
Now you reveal your true colors huh? She floated slightly off of the ground, waiting to see my reaction as her friends set up a barrier around the park. But to her surprise, I was seemingly unphased.
After all, I had been waiting for this.
"No."
It was time to end this dangerous date.
