Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Rezar couldn't move and he was bleeding out. There was nothing within his cave that would have been able to save him, so he could only put his hope on an abstract idea that he wasn't really sure would work, and even then he has been failing for the last twenty minutes the fact that he was still alive spoke volumes of his tenacity.

{RAISE UNDEAD}

(SKILL FAILED!)

It took a minute and half to regain a single point of magic, and currently he only had four points in magic and Raise undead cost three magic points. So after every failed attempt he would have to wait a little while for the points to regenerate. But with each failure, Rezar drew closer and ever closer to another reincarnation, and while that might seem like a better option than his current state, maybe his current son of death trait would be lost, but he wouldn't count on it.

Besides he didn't want to take the same approach to life as everyone else, they didn't feel the need to cherish every reincarnation and tend to make stupid choices because they know they would always have a second chance. Rezar didn't want that, and he would rather try his best to live, no matter how sucky a life he's been given.

Rezar didn't have much time to contemplate anything else as the mole whose throat he had ripped out slowly staggered to its feet. Its previous black beady eyes were now ice cold pools of red flames, it was quite eerie to be honest but Rezar was incapable of fear. There wasn't much he could do or say but give the mole a silent order, one that he hoped the mole had heard before the darkness swallowed him.

"Save me!"

[[[[[||]]]]]

Rezar woke up almost an hour later, his head was pounding and his vision was blurry, he felt as if he had the biggest hangover of the decade, but even that couldn't compare to the foul taste in his mouth and the dried but still sticky juices hanging all over his lips. It took a few moments for his vision to refocus, the first thing he noticed were the dozens of massive snake sized earth worms on his body. Most of them were still alive, and their writhing and crawling over his body was one of the most unsettling feelings Rezar has ever had to face, but yet as usual there was no fear.

Considering that quite a few of these earthworms were in chewed up pieces, they were probably what had been used in saving his life. He brushed the earth worms off his body bo0th dead and alive without as much as a flinch or shudder. He looked at his hand and leg, the wound on them had been completely healed and his chocolate brown skin was without blemish, so other than the somewhat emancipated look that stood as a testament of his status as a slave, Rezar was doing completely fine.

He move his gaze and noticed the mole he had managed to resurrect, all that was left of it was a pile of melted green good that was bubbling in much the same manner acid behaved. There was always a cost to go against the flow of nature, apart from the fact that Rezar didn't have a high enough level in his necromancer class and raise undead skill to maintain the undead indefinitely, the death energy would always decay and destroy the bodies of weak resurrected creatures.

The stronger your body when you're alive, the longer you would last as an undead, maybe even long enough to rank up and evolve from a common zombie, giving you enough time to remain alive. Rezar though was quite surprised by how much he knew about undead; it was as if there was this kind of instinctual knowledge about it encoded into his brain. Normally that should be impossible, but this was a virtual world, and Rezar was no more than a bunch of code himself, so it wouldn't change anything if he thought too much about it. There was something he had to check though, and those were the system messages received from when he killed the moles.

[You have slain three basic cavern moles lvl 10. You have gained 480 battle exp; the night vision skill book has been dropped]

[You have reached a milestone by surviving your first fight against unbeatable odds and without fear. You have gained +2 to power, speed and defense, +1 to magic]

[You have eaten 36 basic cavern Stygian earth worm, all injuries healed, +1 to defense]

Rezar was shocked by the effects of the worms, they didn't seem to be carnivores either, yet they had such an amazing effect. Their taste left much to be desired, but he was fully healed in under an hour so he could at the very least bear with that. He contemplated just killing the rest of them and storing them, but that could be problematic. For one he had no way to preserve them, and there's a possibility that for their healing to work, they had be alive. Elysium never made things as simple as they seemed, there was always an angle, like some sort of shrewd business man.

Rezar looked at the remaining moles; he was going to resurrect each and every single one of them, both as a way to level up his raise undead skill, but also because they were natural miners and quite fast. With their help he might be able to complete much of his quota today and return to the camp a little earlier, but not for supplies, he needed to use the town spire and level up his apprentice necromancer class. He might want to just roll with the punches, but if he's dead there would be no punches rolling.

[Learn Night Vision skill book? It would cost 0 skill points to learn this book]

[Night vision skill learned. You have studied your first skill book, +1 skill point.]

The skill was a passive, which in the world of skills was rarer and definitely more valuable. Rezar himself was quite lucky that he was able to learn the skill without spending any of his skill points, those things were incredibly valuable. Then he turned to the remaining three dead moles, completely ignoring the dozens of worms crawling all over his leg and the floor.
