John the Aspiring Necromancer

"Hi my name is John, 16 years old, and I am just another one of those bullied kids... I still don't know why I agreed to follow those jerks to a Graveyard in the middle of the night, A Graveyard of all places" John chuckles as he talks to the unmotivated skeleton in front him.

"I never expected to become so close to someone, and with a skeleton of all things, I should name you Skelly, sorry I don't actually know your name" John said, 'For some reason this was one of the time he felt the most comfortable and peaceful, while being inside of a coffin! For being buried alive for a whole night to gain those jerk acceptance wasn't at all that bad.

John came prepared, he had chips, water, candy... Or so he thought, the restricted space made thing a little worst over time... Nothing will happen tonight, at least those jerks were smart enough to put a breathing tube in the coffin, so I don't have to worry about not having enough air...

So I decided to fall asleep...

**********************************************************************************************************

That same night as John fell asleep, unaware of what was happening outside, the stars outside have aligned in a way which haven't happened in billions of years, The ether which composes the whole universe have finally seen the potential of human-kind.

Those old existences which have been alive since beginning of creation are pushing towards the further improvement of humans in the Universe and arguing to pushing their own ideas into it. They called themselves the Titan race, some people actually worship them as gods and make connection with them.

There was one particular Titan which was enjoying the whole the spectacle as the other existence arguments elevate higher and higher about who will take control. Chaos was his name, one of the youngest and mischievous titans of the universe, while the other titans were arguing the Earth world tree have finally flourished and he was the first to push his influence into it and the tree was finally able to harvest and spread it throughout the Earth.

Chaos harrumphed "Well ladies, gentlemen, and gentlefolks... Brothers and sisters the time to push the influence into the world tree is now, since I am already done doing just that I will take my leave" he left quickly with a big smile over his face.

Leaving silence behind, the Titan of Light was angered "He has done it again!, those people are doomed... I'll have to wait 24 hours before I can set my influence through the whole world, the sun can baptized this world with power of my existence" The other existences were panicking while they working their magic to gain balance, it was just a second Chaos had already disrupted that. Every world is baptized with Life and Death since the beginning of times. Having chaos influence that at the very begging have disrupted that balance of life and death.

Sadly Titans can't directly influence the world, and have to go through the World Tree and guide it!

**********************************************************************************************************

John felt movement beside him, and he woke up...his flashlight batteries had already gone out "Shit! I left the new flashlight at home!" The skeleton beside me was shaking, and John could feel danger right beside him, the shaking was becoming worst and worst! he saw the skull in front of his face and his eye ball socket started to slowly blink red, and getting bigger as time goes on. His first thought was kind of Melancholic, remembering playing those old dungeon crawler RPGs... He knows his upper body strength is negligible, so his first instinct is to push the skeleton downward and start kicking him with my legs and turn him into bone dust. Now what was left a bunch of broken bones and couple of bruises on my side. A black mote started to move towards me and was absorbed into my body!

"Congratulations on being the first to gain recognition from the World Tree!"

He could hear a gentle voice inside his head, well this night can't become any weirder right...

"For being the first one to be recognized by the World Tree, you are the first to gain access to the interface which will help you progress to a higher level of existence! To gain access, just think about it the word and a window

which you and only you can see" explained the World Tree with a gentle voice.

"Um... excuse me, I got a question" John talks but the World Tree continues talking while apparently ignoring him "Being the first to gain recognition comes with benefits, such as a head start and a Limited Edition Beginner's Pack! You are now equipped with a spatial pouch which is storing your items. This pouch can also be accessed through the interface window. That is all, you might think that this is a two-way communication, but it's not! so after this what you do with your power is up to you this is recorded communication from the existences above!"

Reading the description of each stat, Vitality is similar to the Life force or HP in video games, sadly none of these are quantified... Stamina refers to prolonged physical and mental endurance. Dexterity, Intellect and Strength are self-explanatory, which mean skill, knowledge and physical power. As for Agility it has to with the speed of the action at hand.

"What the hell! Why do I have a passive skill? *sigh* So it was truly my fault... after all, I really killed my parents, my caretakers unknowingly because of this god damned skill!" Without any hesitation he turned the skill off. "So what all those people told me was true all along!" his eyes turned red but no tears were shed, he wasn't angry at the people that teased me but at the World for cursing him in such a way.
