Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 1. Adrias Cromwell (1)

[Quest: Baal’s end cleared!]

[You can play freely from now on.]

[New character unlocked!]

I put my hand away from the mouse, leaving behind the phrase I’ve already read more than 10 times.

Wooddeuk.

When I stretched my body as hard as I could, my whole body screamed.

Checking the time, it’s 11:00 AM.

Even though I stayed up all night, I am fine.

Turr. Turr.

widely.

“hello?”

-Kim Jinhwan! How are you?

“uh. Is it lunch time now?”

-okay. Contacted from time to time. What were you doing?

“game.”

-Are you still doing it?

I turned my gaze to check the game filling the computer screen.

“uh.”

―I was beaten because it was difficult. Is it that much fun?

“Oh, that’s fun.”

– Look at what this Sheki says. why are you so dumb

A dry laugh finally burst out at the voice of Yong-ho hyung over the receiver.

“Thanks for the game bro.”

-eww. chicken meat. I was wrong. don’t say that again

Then, Yong-ho hyung, who had been goofing around for a while, suddenly brought up an old story.

―Has it been your fourth year since you came out to society?

“… … .”

– All the hard work is over. Now go outside and meet some girls.

“I’ll try.”

-Tsk. I know it’s not going your way. Still, isn’t our motto to make the impossible possible?

Is that already 4 years?

Due to an unexpected incident, the military organization I was in was disbanded.

Of course it was a good thing.

It was something to be happy about.

But because it was so sudden, I was still confused.

‘I thought unification with North Korea would happen only in novels.’

Of course, only the unit I belonged to was disbanded, and the other units were still active.

There was nothing good about the place I belonged to when it became known, so I quickly disappeared.

After thinking for a while, I opened the refrigerator to fill my stomach.

“Then see you face to face sometime.”

– Oh good! see you this weekend I’ll go to writing.

After the call, I threw my phone lightly on the bed.

Yongho hyung, whom I am talking on the phone with now, is also a classmate from the same unit.

He was discharged earlier than me due to an accident, but now he goes to work as normal.

After staring at the freezer for a long time, I finally pulled out one frozen food.

When I was in the military, I even managed my diet, but I never thought I would be able to eat something like this again.

Since the unit was thoroughly controlled and managed, the sudden discharge caused strong aftereffects.

Because of this, I was thrown into society and couldn’t adapt.

Of course, there was plenty of money with the salary he had accumulated so far and the compensation due to the forced discharge.

Having become such a rich misfit, I was hit and run here and there, but with Yongho hyung’s help, I was much better.

ding!

The frozen dumplings, which were quickly warmed up, steamed.

I moved the dumplings to the desk and sat down again.

sin (peccata).

This is the name of the game currently playing on the screen.

Right after I was discharged, my condition was really serious, and even Yong-ho hyung couldn’t do anything about it.

I tried this and that for two years, saying that I was draining the military, but there was always a problem.

‘I owe a lot to Yong-ho hyung.’

Meanwhile, Yongho hyung brought a game CD by chance.

First of all, I played the game as my older brother advised me to take a break and clear my head first.

The graphics were poor, but the high degree of freedom, numerous turning points, and various playable characters made me fall in love with the game in an instant.

I had no sense of a game because I had never played it in my life.

However, I continued to attack the game and eventually cleared it for the first time in a year.

The futility of wondering if this was the end soon disappeared.

Because the number of characters that can be played continues to increase.

The more you cleared, the more playable characters were unlocked.

And the unlocked characters started out in much worse conditions than before.

[Tarman (Kwonbeopga)]

The one I just cleared was also on the highest level of difficulty.

I wonder how many times I had to live and die, even I, who had clear experience more than 10 times, was hard.

Sometimes, if I liked the character I cleared, I played with it a little more, but this guy passed.

I took a bite of dumplings and tried to check the newly unlocked character.

Turr. Turr.

‘Who is it?’

The phone calls keep coming in today.

There is no one to call me.

When I check the number, the caller limit indicator pops up.

An unknown tension flowed behind my back, and I wondered if I should accept it or not.

Although now disbanded, the unit I belonged to was a top-secret unit that was extremely dangerous.

To be honest, it’s surprising that the government just let us go.

Should I say thank you for not killing me?

So, I couldn’t help but be nervous when I saw this caller restriction sign.

pop.

cut off

A sigh came out without my knowledge.

Turr. Turr.

And as if laughing at my sigh, the phone started ringing again.

In the end, I thought I should get it, so I immediately pressed the call button.

“hello.”

-iced coffee. Can you hear me?

“Who are you?”

– Can you hear me?

“I hear you. who are you.”

It was a playful voice, but the gender was hard to tell.

It was like a distorted voice.

-ah! I am the developer of peccata.

Pekkata?

I didn’t know what to say, but soon the word “developer” reminded me of a game I used to play.

“crime?”

-yes! you’re right.

He giggled and laughed mischievously, then continued.

―It’s not different, I checked now, and Kim Jin-hwan has 12 clear experiences recorded. We really appreciate you enjoying our game and congratulations.

My breath stopped the moment my name came out of his mouth.

It’s a game, but how do you know my name?

It was Yongho hyung who brought the game CD.

Could it be that Yongho hyung told me? no i can’t

“How do you know my name?”

―Eh. Let’s skip those minor issues for now and talk about the perks.

“You’re asking how did you know my name? Answer me.”

―Now, first of all, I will give Kim Jin-hwan a chance to play a more realistic game. Additionally, the next round will give you two specials. One is random, as always, and the second is an opportunity to choose. How is it?

As soon as I heard that, I immediately hung up.

And I called Yongho hyung.

―The power is turned off. Beep― After the sound… … .

I made a call a while ago, but I couldn’t connect.

I obsessively opened the closet and packed my things.

An ominous feeling ran through my mind.

‘First of all, we have to change places. Could have been location tracking… … No, it could be that they figured out where I am in the first place.’

I was about to go outside after packing my things, but I saw a computer screen that was turned on.

‘In case you don’t know, you should format your computer as well.’

The moment I sat down in front of my desk and looked at the screen to turn off the game.

[Playable Character: Jinhwan Kim (Adrias Cromwell)]

What is it?

Why is my name on the game screen?

Before I could even finish thinking about it, the screen gradually turned black and turned into a sticky liquid.

Before I even tried to escape the supernatural phenomenon, my mind turned black like the screen.

* * *

“Adrias!”

An empty flask flew in with a shriek.

I quickly grabbed the bottle flying at me and stood there, staring at Silvec.

“I must have put < Conflicting Understandings Between Nature and Mana > on the desk until today!”

I nodded cautiously.

“yes.”

“yes? yes? But why is there nothing on my desk!”

even if you say so

‘I don’t even know the spell of mana, let alone magic, so how do I organize it?’

Of course, nothing came out of his mouth.

When I just stood there without saying anything, Silvec, red-faced, screamed.

“Go out right now and clean up right now! hurry!”

At his pace, I left the office without looking back.

When I came out, I could feel the eyes of many students passing through the hallway.

“What you looking at. Did you see it?”

this. Just thinking about it came out of my mouth.

It seems that this body has also affected my personality.

Fortunately, those who listened to my words went their separate ways with pitiful expressions on their faces without any refutation.

I also had something to prioritize over those gazes, so I moved to the library.

When I came out of the building, there was a wide spread site and architectural styles that could only be seen in the Middle Ages.

And above all else, a tower soaring up to pierce the sky and three huge moons filling the sky stood out.

―Ding!

[There is an attribute that has not been selected.]

The Korean language, which is now difficult to see, covered my vision while looking up at the sky.

“later. I will choose later.”

People here speak Korean that I can’t understand.

He sighed heavily.

It’s been a week since I came here.

I must have lost my mind trying to format the computer, but when I opened my eyes, I wasn’t myself.

I became Adrias Cromwell, not Kim Jin-hwan.

I was confused, but I hid my feelings.

The more the crisis shut up, the more I practiced hiding my emotions.

Should I say fortunately, I also had some memories of being Adrias.

Of course, I didn’t know the whole of his life because it was a part, but at least I was able to figure out where this place was.

As I recalled, this was the world of ‘peccata’.

Adrias’ memory was no different from the world view of sin, which was a game.

And as he acted while retracing Adrias’ memories for this week, it became even more certain.

I am now in the world of games.

“I want to find a book.”

“What kind of book is it?”

“It’s a ‘conflicting understanding of nature and mana’.”

“Magic books are from the 5th column, column 9 to the 32nd column, column 438.”

I’m not looking for it.

Do you eat raw wages?

I shook my head.

These days, thoughts that I wouldn’t normally do have been swirling in my head.

Apparently, Adrias’ influence was quite large.

‘If only… … .’

Among the many, many characters, this guy.

He’s a kid I’ve never raised before.

It seems that this guy was next to Tarman, the last martial artist he raised.

‘Even so, hasn’t the difficulty level increased too rapidly?’

Adrias Cromwell was an undisputed villain.

But what should I say?

To put it bluntly, it was an insignificant character that could be considered as an experience point for the player.

Rather, the problem is this guy’s teacher.

Should I call him a teacher?

“found.”

I was able to find the book I was looking for in the end.

Fortunately, it was in alphabetical order, so I found it quickly.

As soon as I found the book, I opened it right away.

‘… … It’s impossible.’

It was different from the game.

There were only 3 wizard characters I raised in the game.

Nevertheless, the contents of this book were catching clouds in the sky.

In reality, just like in a game, learning a skill isn’t just about using it.

Like the contents of the book written here, the magic was activated only when mana was operated in an elaborate and complicated process.

‘Of course, this is a simple theoretical book.’

I sighed once more and took the book.

I didn’t intend to organize this book, but for now I’m going to act unsuspecting.

I thought about Adrias once again on the way back with my books.

I didn’t have any sense for the game, so I knew a character that didn’t have much importance like Adrias because I played by taking notes on all the elements.

First of all, this guy dies very early in the game.

I didn’t kill every playable character, but I remember killing at least seven or eight of the 12 characters.

Why did I have to kill such an insignificant wizard?

This guy’s magician status is camouflage.

The true identity is a black magician.

Among them, he was a necromancer who handled necromancy and necromancy.

I became a necromancer, the most taboo wizard in this world.
