Undead Energy

In the hall of the central castle, just after the rankers were teleported, Julia, the woman with the white robe, said to John beside her:

"Don't you think it's a bit cruel to just send them to the wilderness right away?"

"No!"

"Why?"

"Because that's the better way to teach them. If we put teachers around them right away, most of them would learn at most 70% of the teachers' teaching. The other 30% would be a hole in their foundation.

"Moreover, we expect them to become deities. Allowing them to develop their class by themselves will make it easier in the future.

"When they come back, the teachers' teaching will only close the holes in their foundation. That's the faster and best way."

"That's also the cruelest way..."

"I just hope that anyone of them can become a Supreme God...

"Otherwise we are doomed..."

…

Back in the jungle:

"I'm Nicolas, a swordsman and the number 91 of the rank of the game "Outside de Simulation"."

After Nicolas, each one told their name, class, and ranks.

They realized that they were at the bottom of the top 100. Their ranks go from 91 to 100.

Just before Blake, the last one to present himself, speaks, Jaccobe, an archer at rank 95, interrupted him.

"Let me guess, you are Blake, the necromancer rank 100, right?

"I saw your match just yesterday, I got to say that you are just too luck!"

"Hey Jaccobe, don't start a fight right now. We have to be in sync to develop better."

Nicolas intervene, but Joccobe continued:

"I totally agree Nicolas, I just think that we all would develop much better with a life mage in the group instead of a necromancer! Necromancer is known to be the worst class for a reason."

Nicolas bit his tongue because, although he didn't want to cause confusion, he totally agree with Jaccobe.

"And this little shit took the life mage from the rank at the least second.

"Don't you feel guilty to be responsible for the death of an innocent person that was much more useful than you?"

"Enough! Stop causing a fight."

At that moment Nicolas was furious because Jaccobe was deliberately offending Blake.

"But he is right Nicolas!"

That time it was Jadis, a transmorth at rank 92.

"He is just not useful. He wouldn't be in the rank if his opponent weren't a life mage. Besides, that life mage could still win if he wasn't too careless.

"If I remember correctly he was very young too, so very inexperient. This necromancer shouldn't be here, to begin with."

During all this confusion, Blake didn't change his expression once. He was just observing to determine which of them were at least a little trustworthy.

He knew that all of them were in the same situation as him, that just saw a lot of people die and was a bit too temperamental.

However, that doesn't mean he has to tolerate them.

When Blake was younger he used to camp with his father and his father's friends, so he knew a little how to take care of himself in the jungle.

But, he knew this world was different than the one he used to live so he wanted to find at least one person in the group to follow him.

During his observation, he noticed the fire mage at rank 97, Adam. While all of them were with looks of fear or trying to vent their anger, Adam was looking at the surrounding and also analyzing each person.

'This guy looks useful'

Blake just ignored the clowns cursing him, went straight to Adam, and said:

"I'm living, want to come along?"

At that time the clowns, Jaccobe and Jadis, got silent. Even though they were glad the "trash" was going to leave, they didn't want a useful person to also leave.

"I also don't plan to stay here with those clowns, but I plan to go alone. I won't die anyway, so there isn't a reason to hesitate."

Adam replied.

Blake already expected this answer since the other person was looking more at the surrounding than the people around.

However, the rest of the group froze. No one really thought that going alone was a possibility, that was just too shocking to hear.

without waiting for anyone to react, Blake just said:

"So, I guess I will also go by myself. See you."

And direct left the group behind.

Adam took the opportunity and also left.

Seeing this, Nicolas actually felt tempted to also leave alone, but he felt that sticking with the group would be better for his development.

The group was ten, now it's eight.

…

While walking through the jungle, Blake started to search for something to eat while continue thinking about the situation.

'In the end, I am clueless about the real situation. Although what John said is most likely to be true, because otherwise the way I was teleported twice and the body change couldn't be explained, I doubt he told us all the truth.

'But no matter what the truth really is, I got to have power either way.

'On Earth, the power was gained from money and influence. But now, no matter how much I think, developing your own class can be much more beneficial. As John said, even millions of normal people can't take a deity.

'It seems this world is even more lawless than the previous one.

'With power, I will get what I want, including the answer to why my parents had to die.'

Blake decides to look again at his system to start developing his class.

[ Sistem Window:

Name & Level: Blake - Starter Tier 1

Class: Necromancer

Passive skills:

Undead Energy Manipulation (0%)

Active skills:

None ]

'It seems I only have one skill, "Undead Energy Manipulation".

'From the name, I can conclude that it is to manipulate energy. But, how do I do it?

'I will probably have to use that spiritual power John mentioned before.

'Although I wasn't sure in the beginning, I can feel it inside me. This burning energy. I just have to feel the undead power now.'

Blake stopped walking and sit down with closed legs and started to try to feel the energy. But it did not work.

He kept like that for a long time, but nothing. Until he heard the sound of an animal coming.

Then he took a stick near him and stand up slowly. He concentrated fully on the direction the sound was coming from.

When, through the bush, a small capybara appeared.

Blake kept himself motionless, waiting for the best moment to attack.

The capybara was small with brown flur. It continued to walk slowly in Blake's direction, while Blake was trying to act as stealthily as possible near a tree.

When the capybara got near that same tree, Blake attacked it, without any hesitation.

The stick went through the small animal's head, killing it almost instantly.

Blake was happy for finding some meat to eat but was also regretful for killing a living being.

But then, Blake's mixed feelings stopped when he felt a small function coming from the animal.

He sat cross-leg again and tried to fill more of the energy.

At that time, he felt it.

' I can feel it, It is a chaotic energy that looks to be coming from the capybara. But where? Why did I feel it only now and not when it appeared? It has to be something to do with its death.

'Does it mean I have to kill every time I want to access this energy? Do I have to turn myself into a psychopath?

'This energy is coming from all over the capybara, but the flux is all going outside it. But as my ability said, it is energy, and I know that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it got to be transformed from something else.

'If I figure out the source, I may not need to kill every time I want to access this energy.

'I guess it's something like life energy.

'Wait, undead energy, the world 'undead' is the key!

'The energy I am feeling is not undead, it is the energy from death. Undead is a state in which death gains life.

'It should be much nearer death energy, that's why I am more sensitive to the latter, but it still is related to life.'

Blake tried to concentrate to his fullest because he knew he was getting to something.

After almost ten minutes fully immersed in his senses, he felt it.

'I can feel it. I feel this energy coming from everything around me. Every leaf, every insect, every life form at all. It got to be the energy of life.

'But it still isn't the undead energy.

'How do I find undead energy?

'I almost can't feel the life energy, but death energy is as clear as heat energy, so what if I guide the death energy to mix with life and turn it into undead energy?'

Blake then stand up and took a leaf from a tree, because he knows once you take a leaf from a tree, in some minutes it will die.

He sat back down, close his hand with the leaf inside and start to concentrate.

He felt the life energy slowly turning it death energy. But since his hand was blocking it from scape to the air, Blake could more easily guide it with his spiritual energy to mix with the remaining life energy in the leaf.

Then the transformation occurred! The energies mixed together and formed undead Energy.
