Epilogue II Acquire a Skill

The calming peace was in every part of the forest. The birds were twitching along a beautiful melody, deers were jumping up and down in the wide fields, covered by any kind of flower.

Only one place was disturbing this peace, a small clearing in the northern part of the forest. Two figures were constantly clashing with one another, not letting the other side any time to take a breath.

„Why are none of my attacks working?"

I had tried any imaginable spot, but was not able to penetrate the skin of the beast. Something seemed to block all of my attacks. I had to find something to destroy this magical shield.

„System? Do you have anything I can use to help me?"

[ Do you wish to acquire the

Skill „Shield Penetration"? ]

( Can penetrate any magical or physical defense )

( Needs 40 Mana to activate )

[ Cost: 5 Skill Point ]

[ Remaining Skill Points: 5 ]

„Yes!"

This was the only chance to end this battle, as otherwise I wouldn't hold on much longer, the monster had already made me use up most of my stamina on avoiding his attacks and slashing back.

[ You have successfully acquired

the Skill „Defense Penetration"! ]

I jumped on a small rock, again avoiding getting hit by the huge claws. Now was my chance, the moment of victory or defeat!

"Use the skill!" I sprinted towards the monster, from the left to the right, trying to distract the huge beast.

Now than..

"Take this, you shit!"

I pointed my sword to his head and slashed at him. As expected, I could feel a slight resistance but after pressing harder, it just disappeared and my sword slid into the beast's neck. Green blood was flowing out, leaving drops on my sword and clothes.

I fell down, exhausted till the end.

"Finally! I won! Hahah!"

A message popped up, one I had been waiting for the entire time.

[ Hidden Quest completed! ]

[ You have defeated your foe! ]

[ Reward: ]

[ One Death Knight ]

[ 15 Skill Points ]

[ Fortress (Lvl 1) ]

[ Do you wish to summon the Death Knight? ]

[ Do you wish to place your fortress now? ]

I stared silently at the reward message, only some moments later, I read the other two notifications.

"Of course I want to summon the Knight now!"

What would happen if someone a lot stronger than me would appear, why wouldn't I use a life saving opportunity.

[ Summoning the Death Knight… ]

[ Portal appearing in .. 3 …. 2 .. 1 ]

A purple colored gate appeared infront of me. Another person, wearing a deep black armor, and holding a longsword in his right hand, was standing on the other side like a puppet.

„So your my first servant?"

„I am grateful for this opportunity! My Lord!"

He fell down on the dirty ground with his knees, bowing before me with the greatest respect a knight would give to his superior.

I was a little shocked as I didn't expect this, as no one had ever kneeled before me in my past life. As I was just a low waiter in a small restaurant near the beach. It was very full in the summer and I had to work a lot more than I was payed for.

"Stand up!" I waved my hand, signaling him to move.

[ The Death Knight <Unnamed> has pledged his Loyalty to Host ]

[ Do you wish to rename him? ]

"Sure why not." Although I wasn't the most creative person in naming stuff, I could still find a good name, right?

"Why don't I call you …"
