Chapter 3: Sneaking Around a Graveyard

-----

As I flew around the vast graveyard, I sneaked behind the big graves and glanced around my surroundings. Three Wisps were gathering right in front of me, all three floating aimlessly, but they stuck together. Always in three. It would be hard to separate them, so I suppose I must be direct and just kill all three of them.

Each one gives 20 EXP, three of them is… 60 EXP, I already have 10 EXP, so it would be 70 EXP out of 100 required to level up, so I will need two more Wisps. This means I won’t be able to level up right away, and if I let them attack me, I will end up wounded.  After that, if I attack two more to level up, I might end up dying. Because of this, I cannot be reckless and charge directly at them, so this is why I am sneaking around…

Sneaking…

Ding!

[You’ve learned the [Stealth: Lv1] Skill!]

Eh? So soon? Okay then, thanks! This makes things easier, as this skill enhances my ability to hide passively. But if I use mana, I can hide even better… But we don’t want to use Mana- Oh wait, I do have Mana Siphon.

So what if I use Mana with Stealth, activate Mana Siphon, weaken the Wisp, and blast them off with the Mana I absorbed from them? Sounds like a plan, alright!

I patiently wait for them to reach closer to me while I activate Stealth slowly. It seems that it works wonders as the little flames don’t notice me when I am literally right at their side!

Mana Siphon!

The moment I activate this Skill, the Wisps begin to slowly shrink in size, as they notice me at long last. However, you’re already way too weakened, buddies.

Bye-bye!

I ready three Dark Spheres with a thought of my mind, blasting them into smoke!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

All three wisps die right after. My planning really paid off in the end!

Ding!

[You’ve gained 60 EXP]

[EXP : [70/100]

And done! And without even losing a single HP, that was nice… My Mana slowly begins to recover back to full, as I keep wandering the graveyard.  I am already pretty far away from my own grave, as I am reaching an area with paved floor which is surrounded by small buildings. I guess these buildings are where they put the corpses of royal family members?

Come to think about it, who the heck was I in this life? I hate how I cannot remember any of that. It is as if I wasn’t myself until I actually died… This means I just died twice, right? The only thing I know is that I was named Maria Fuentes Belles, and I was a Dark Witch, who did many bad things, and I got my head guillotined off due to that. There was this handsome blonde that cried for me when I died… Was he my lover? Or maybe an apprentice, little brother, or something? Damn, because he was quite handsome…

Anyways, no time for stupid thoughts. We got company here. I hide inside one of the little buildings where they put the coffins of royal family members.  I then look through the wall at another trio of Wisps… Oh, sweet, they’re moving right towards me. I activate Stealth as I patiently stick myself into the walls. The three pass through them and continue moving forward, giving me their backs! Well… If they ever have backs…  I siphon their mana in an instant. They seem alarmed, but it’s already too late!

Dark Sphere!

I conjure Dark Sphere three times once more. Each conjuration costs 30 MP, meaning that I use 90 MP right away. This is why it is a risky thing to do. If I fail, I end up losing most of my MP.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

All three of these little wisps die horribly. Their agonizing cries are music to my metaphorical ears as I harvest their EXP like a reaper…

Hehe…

Ding!

[You’ve gained 60 EXP]

[EXP : [130/100]

[You’ve leveled up to Level 2!]

[The Level of [Dark Sphere: Lv 1] has increased!]

Nice! And my Dark Sphere leveled up, how nice.

…

[Name: [Maria Fuentes Belles]

[Race: [Lesser Ghost]

[Level: [2/5]

…

My stats increased once more. This time, they’re finally looking a bit more decent… well, not really. I bet I don’t even pack a punch.

Now I need 200 EXP to reach Level 3… Will it increase by 100 each time? So 300, 400, and lastly 500? What happens after max level? Hmm… Evolution, maybe?

While taking a break, I decided to check my Title Skills… They were pretty strange.

…

[The Dark Witch: Lv--]

A Title Skill given to the Dark Witch, a figure of terror, feared by a large number of humans due to her ability to bring misfortune, calamity, and plagues to everywhere she went.

You gain the hatred of others, and your very existence seems to be a threat to any human.

Enhances your Ability to learn Magic, your Mana recovery, and the growth of MP and Magic Stats.

You also gain additional EXP by killing.

Any minion will receive an enhancement to their stats, skills, growth, and evolution options.

…

[Bringer of Misfortune: Lv1]

You are cursed with Bad Luck by the God of the Underworld, therefore, you bring misfortune to others. However, in exchange, your fortune increases as you absorb that of others passively.

Those that serve you are not affected by this effect. The higher the level, the stronger the effects.

…

I-I see… So I really was a Dark Witch, and this Title is still pretty good. It helps me grow stronger and faster! Although still, being hated by everyone for no reason hurts me a bit. And… there’s Bringer of Misfortune… Oh boy, this is a bit broken… But, I feel like it is not as bad as it seems… Thank you, God of the Underworld!

Anyways, now that I read “Minion,” it reminded me of something… Can I raise my own minion? I do have Dark Element and Death Element. By using Dark Element, I was able to use that magic. So can’t I use Death Magic by having Death Element?

Can I? If I could, it would be cool to raise an army of Undead to fight for me, so I can leisurely sit and wait for them to bring me EXP!

Hmm… Wait a minute, let’s try it.

I threw the bones I was carrying onto the ground, and then I decided to create a death spell…

Erm… Raise Undead?

FLASH!

Suddenly, I lose 100 MP, but they flow into the pile of bones like a blast of smoke, and the bones suddenly gain a phantasmal aura! They begin to rattle around as they slowly start to assemble…!

No way, it actually worked!
