《The Once Simple Life of a Dungeon Skeleton》Chapter 10 - The Plan
Advertisement
Spell learned: Create Undead
'Yes! Now I can start my master plan Mother! Mwhahahahaha!'
On the 89th floor of the Warwic dungeon, a skeleton could be seen silently laughing in the bone-covered courtyard of a massive ruined castle. After a while of this, the skeleton stopped and slumped its shoulders.
'Ugh, it's just not the same if can't actually laugh. Anyway, now is time to begin.'
The library I found had books for nearly every type of magic and skill and I managed to find two that would benefit me the most. The first of these books being Necromancy, and the second being Mana Siphoning. Once I learned the Mana Siphoning skill I was able to use the mana contained in the mana cores I had instead of using my own. I don't know how much mana was contained within the cores I had, but I did know that it was more than enough for what I wanted to do.
I grabbed one of the mana cores, placed it inside my chest and activated my Mana Siphoning skill. Then I started the first step in my grand plan, raising all of the dead in this castle. At first it was a bit slow as I could only use the spell to create one undead at a time. But that soon resolved itself as I was able to level up the spell in record time since I had a near limitless source of mana now.

'Oh, so spells can evolve after leveling up past the 9th level?'
Spells ranged from the 1st level to the 9th and depending on the power of the spell, you could start anywhere from the 1st level to the 9th level. Only some spells, as I would find out later, had the ability to evolve after reaching the 9th level.

'Hahaha! Rise my army of the dead!'
By the time the mana core I had was drained dry, I raised the largest (and only) army of the dead I had ever seen.
Class aquired: Necromancer
Aside from the thousands of regular skeletons I had under my control, I also had control of two dragons, three giants, four giant snakes, one giant bird, two giant bears, and many others.
'Good, now first order of business, rebuild this castle!'
I sent out a mental command to all of my undead and they all started moving, clearing the mountains of rubble and rebuilding the walls with it.
'Perfect, now to go and level up, come!'
I ordered my dragons and giants to follow me.
'Ah, are you coming too friend?'
My massive slime friend followed me closely, jiggling in what seemed like an excited way.
'Are you also excited to finally get out of that place?'
We searched for anything living and eventually found one of the many giant bears that lived here.
'Seriously? Why the hell is it always bears? Whatever, kill it!'
I stood on a hill and watched as my minions descended and ripped apart the bear in seconds, the giants suffered some damage but they started slowly regenerating.
'Wow, I didn't think they would be able to regenerate, that makes it even better.'
With that single kill I gained twenty levels and put them all into my Necromancer class.

Touch: Intermediate
'Ah, it's not there, my voice...'
I thought that maybe it would appear this time, it didn't. I chose to put both points in my sight and then something happened.
You have chosen the Ability: Sight: IntermediateYou have chosen the Ability: Sight: AdvancedAbilities Upgraded:Life Force Sight: Basic > AdvancedMana Sight: Basic > Advanced
Suddenly the range on my view of life force doubled- No, it tripled. Dozens of life forces suddenly entered my vision, I could see them from so far away. My regular sight sharpened as well, with a little bit of focus I could see much further than I ever thought possible.
'So, it affects all other Sight abilities I have. Now all I have to do is- Ah, so you've finished eating already?'
As though my friend knew exactly what I was thinking it devoured the corpse, leaving only the bones and the mana core.
'Thanks! You've saved me the trouble of trying to ask you to do that.'
I patted my friend and it jiggled again, I raised another minion and grabbed another core, then set off to find more prey.
'Oh, I almost forgot, Mother could you tell me how much time is left now?'
Time remaining for current absorption: 211Y, 9M, 21D
The time lowered drastically again with me leveling up.
'Good, I just need to focus on leveling now.'

The Badboy Prince Just Can't Resist
"Why are you so nervous?" "I'm not.""Your pupils dilate every time you look at me. What are you so worried about, sweetheart?" He asks me, his warm breath fanning my ear. I rolled my eyes, and he took that as a response. "Why are you so afraid of me, Annalise?""I'm not," I repeated in a firm tone, trying to stop my body's temptation of leaning into his touch. "Then why can't you think properly while so close to me?" Damien's lips were now grazing my ear. His strong arms expertly pull me in, arms crossed around my waist ready to spin me back out. I despised the way he made me feel when we would dance, as if I liked being under his lead- it infuriated me. "I can think just fine." I spin myself back out, trying to take control. He chuckled,"This is why I find you so intriguing. You want to resist me, and I haven't found somebody like that before. It's quite frustrating, having someone who doesn't bend to my will."The nerve of this man!I scowled,"I'm not just going to follow your every command. Being a Prince doesn't mean you gain-""I could give you anything. A title or land, and any other girl-""I'm not just 'another girl' who will bend to your standards. I don't have time to pamper your ego as if you own the school.""In fact, I do. Thank you for reminding me sweetheart, sometimes I forget." Arrogance laced his tone, sending my fury into overdrive."I am nobody's sweetheart, especially not yours."His laugh sent vibrations through my body,"You have never failed to amuse me. I think we should get to know each other better." I felt his lips against my ear curl into a sly smirk.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Cover by @afranticdreamer#4 romance #1 royal 9-29-2020#1 kingdom 3-30-2020#3 king 4-3-2020#1 princess 4-13-2020#1 new 5-14-2020-All rights reserved -Kick back and enjoy a book with a little bit of mystery, magic, humor, and don't forget romance

Since then I've begun writing an original novel, carrying over the characters from here, called 'UnderCurrent'.These stories can be read without knowledge of UnderCurrent and likewise it can be read without knowledge of this.Optimally however it may benefit you to read UnderCurrent to have complete context, the following are some words that may not always be in all of the stories should you choose to skip from tale to tale;Vijaik - A blanket term for mechs made of regular metals. They come in a variety of designs.Casnel - Specifically refers to any mech made of the rare metal 'Goibniu'. They are exceptionally advanced and powerful machines.Bhaile and Abhaile - The planets of UnderCurrent's people.IAFS - 'Independent Alliance of Free States', a rebel faction backed by private corporations, seeking change for the solar-system.TSU - 'The States Union', ruling body of all controlled space, known for often-times being callous and extreme in method.Remembrance - A somewhat 'wild-card' faction made up of former rebellion survivors operating from the 'Remembrance' continent. ----Thanks for reading😊👍.
