Chapter 300 – A World Where the Living and the Dead Coexist

[You open your eyes and realize the world before you is very gloomy]

[The sky is dark, the earth is devastated, there are scattered skeletons and standing tombstones everywhere, and you have awakened from a mass grave, the only living person here.]

[You have no dogs, no weapons, no supplies]

[You start with nothing]

[The only thing you have is a healthy body to return to the age of 18, which is the only capital you have to survive in the other world.]

Pitch black night.

Even the moonlight was cut off.

Tombstones were standing, human bones were askew, and the mournful sound of the wind was like the friction of sharp teeth, with an extremely strong penetrating power.

When Department Xu opened his eyes, this was the scene he saw.

There is not the slightest bit of life to speak of, and everything is silent.

Ka-chow–

Ka-chow–

Striding across the mass graveyard ground always crushed something, making a crisp chipping sound and an even more fragmented spilling sound.

“What to say.”

“Not bad for a world on the side of the dead?”

“It’s such an eerie start, dropping me straight into a mass grave.”

The night, dark and dense.

The wind, whistling.

A brooding, endless aura of death shrouded the sky, obscuring everything above one’s head, making the sun and moon invisible, making day and night indistinguishable.

People fear such a world and there is nothing they can do about it.

This is the law of the world, a natural disaster that cannot be reversed by human hands.

The only thing people can do.

It’s all about conformity and adapting.

Steeply, a storm swept between heaven and earth, lifting up endless things, and for a brief moment blowing away the dead air in the air, revealing the demonic blood moon.

The Hsu Department saw it.

The bones were large and hard, and the wings beat the sky like a fan.

In the eye sockets, a deep blue soul fire burned and pulsed, filling the majestic dragon skull.

It is the Bone Dragon that stands at the apex of undead creatures.

Even though it has lost its flesh and blood and only has a skeleton left, the dragon still soars in the sky, carrying the hazy figure to the other side of the world, chasing the wind and catching the electricity.

Wayfarer.

The people were all trembling, shouting the greatness of death and fearing the bone dragons that were so powerful.

But the fear was accompanied by an expression that revealed envy.

If they could, they wanted to become that powerful.

“Necromancers? ……”

“A transcendental system for exploring the truth of the world based on the soul.”

“Before the simulation began, I had already recorded some of the sorcerer’s soul cultivation methods, however, the most pressing thing now is to find a place to land.”

Looked around at the mass grave surroundings.

In Xu System’s eyes, he revealed a few points of helplessness, really not wanting to continue staying.

Good on.

Polished by many simulations, he was used to this kind of opening.

“A new life, it begins.”

[You’re very adaptable]

[Quickly integrating into nearby human villages and towns.]

[By asking around, you’ve gotten some basic information.]

[This world, originally belonged to the paradise of the living]

[Humans, elves, goblins, dragons, orcs and other intelligent races live]

[But a thousand years ago, an evil sorcerer communicated with the endless underworld, the home of all the dead, the final destination for souls after a lifetime of wandering]

[As a result of this, the weak world was eroded by the underworld and became the monstrous shape it is today, with undead plagues erupting from time to time and destroying kingdoms one by one.]

[The living and the dead coexist, history and rules are reshaped]

[Those who have died can never rest in peace, and all live in eternal darkness.]

[Only the high and mighty sorcerer can study and master the power of the soul, and advance in this dark world without fear of death.]

……

[Not everyone can be a wizard.]

[Qualification and Enlightenment, similar limitations exist in all transcendental systems]

[Only those with strong souls have the qualifications to embark on the path of the sorcerer, starting from the weakest apprentice and climbing higher step by step.]

[You laugh, you have an incredibly special soul, you’re a natural born sorcerer]

[You have developed a development strategy]

[Build the wall high, gather the grain, claim the throne slowly]

[Reaching out to other wizards and exploring the knowledge of the undead is not your primary goal]

[You decided to stay in a nearby human village or town, relying on the cultivation method you brought from the real world to advance to sorcerer’s apprentice first, and wait for a certain amount of strength before considering others]

Six months later.

In a mediocre human village or town.

Lonely corners on the outer periphery.

The Xu system sat quietly, a large number of miscellaneous items scattered around him, including bones of the undead picked up from mass graves and rough food for emergencies.

The environment is messy and emits an unpleasant odor.

But given that sooner or later it will leave.

The smell would be nothing.

“Tsk ……”

“When you build your own wizard’s tower, make sure to set up an auto-cleaning spell.”

“But for now, it’s better to advance to Sorcerer’s Apprentice.”

The Xu system muttered.

Grabbing a rough piece of black bread in his hand, he put it in his mouth and chewed hard to ease the twitching in his abdomen.

Then, the Xu system ran the Sorcerer’s Cultivation Method.

Soul and spirit resonate in unison.

Life and death coexist.

Inside the room, the bones of the skeleton, piled up, wafted out a wisp of ghostly blue soul fire, dissipating to propel the Xu system even further.

Compared to the bone dragons they had once seen, these soul flames seemed extremely small.

It doesn’t help much.

However, the Xu system was in a special situation, with the word effect of life and death intertwined in place, and with just these minuscule soul fires, it was enough to become a sorcerer’s apprentice.

Instant breakthrough!

……

[You became an apprentice wizard.]

[Even though you’ve just broken through and lack the accumulation of time and knowledge, your soul has already begun to metamorphose, and there’s a clear difference between you and a mortal]

[You’ve begun to learn apprentice-level techniques.]

[An apprentice sorcerer who has just broken through can usually only master 1 or 2 spells, but you’re so qualified that your upper limit has risen to 20.]

[You’ve worked hard, persevered in your meditative practice, and inscribed several apprentice-level art structures.]

[You’ve managed to acquire the ability to defend yourself.]

[Starting today, you no longer need to sneak up from behind and smash the skulls of skeleton soldiers with a wooden stick]

[If you are a noble lord, you can choose a more elegant way of execution.]

“Acid splash and bone cracking are all good apprentice techniques for you.

[You’ve been away from the human village where you lived for six months.]

[This is a remote place, so you don’t have to worry about the undead plague, but likewise, the resources available for sorcerers to train are extremely scarce, which is not conducive to your subsequent research]

[You’ve traveled along and encountered a number of undead creatures while searching for a larger human city.]

[Ding–]

[You killed the Skeleton Soldier and triggered the Soul Collector effect, a part of the dissipated soul fire became your power and you became stronger]

A walk in the park.

While Xu System cultivated, he also kept testing the effects of the words.

A life and death crossword that provides excellent sorcerer credentials and a unique sense of life and death.

Thinker words that keep you thinking calmly and facilitate the drilling of subsequent knowledge.

Soul Collector words, both living and dead, beings that fade from the hands of the Xu system intercept some of their soulfire from the hands of the Underworld.

Can be used for research.

It also enhances yourself.

“What a desert dog’s head,” the Xu system spat.
