Arthur stared for a couple of minutes at his status window, his eyes widened when he saw the increase in Intelligence, Vitality, and Wisdom, his overall stats are all above 1000 except for his Dexterity, this was definitely a cheat, he believed that now he can one-shot everything that attacks him even with raw strength which was completely unbelievable.
He got up and tried moving his body, at first it felt really heavy but just after a couple of seconds, he was able to move normally and freely. Everything was alright, It's the same feeling as being a human-like his previous life except it was kind of strange seeing his body made of bones.
How can he eat delicious things like this or drink water, he was made of bones so normally anything will fall to the ground if he was eating or it will spill on his lower bones, but nevertheless he was excited when he tested his movements, he could run to the end of the room in less than a second it almost seemed like it was teleportation.
Arthur tried throwing a punch at the air but he underestimated his strength greatly and even when punching the air the wall at the end of the room was utterly destroyed with nothing left, he stood there dazed for a second then he sighed and thought
”if I had this kind of this strength in the past who would dare to have mess with me ? Life is really cruel and unfair for some people...”
After spending 5 or so minutes testing his body and overall abilities he tried using his new skills and the one which picked his interest is the Dark Magic ability.
It says that he can use dark magic to attack or defend but it didn't explain how, so he focused and thought about a spear in his mind and suddenly
'bzzzt”
A dark 2-meter spear appeared near him floating beside his shoulder, he was surprised at first then he felt ecstatic and overjoyed.
The spear was jet black it didn't have any special features except the edges of the spear had some kind of black flames, he tried aiming the spear at the wall and suddenly 'boom' the wall was destroyed and there was no sign of the spear, the power was truly frightening.
The room was made by 4 walls, the wall which was targeted by the spear all crumbled and the spear just continued destroying everything it crossed until Arthur ordered the spear the go back to him, he truly couldn't believe his eyes as the speed of this attack was faster than what his eyes could see.
He tried changing the shape of the spear and it was indeed like he thought, he could change it however he wants, whether it was an axe, a sword, a dagger and even a shield, then it occurred to him that it said in the description that you can use dark magic to form barriers so he thought about that, but the dark shield next to him didn't change.
However, a black aura surrounded him from all directions it seemed like a sphere surrounding him, it was a transparent sphere but it was kind of black-ish, he willed the barrier to disappear and it just disappeared in a split second.
It seemed like forming a barrier was slower than forming a weapon but nevertheless, it took only 1 second so it wasn't that big of a deal.
Arthur tried experimenting more with Dark Magic and he discovered that he can make more weapons, he created spears until all the room was filled with them and what surprised him was that it didn't cost mana to attack or form weapons or barriers which were truly a good yet frightening thing.
Next, he tried the revival skill which came from Zodiak as well, and it was kind of Okay, it was not overpowered like the Dark Magic but it could be useful.
After some experimentation, he found out that he can summon a skeleton for 20 mana each and a mage skeleton which had a cane with 40 mana each, all kind of skeletons can be summoned.
Moreover, he tried thinking about a wolf or bear and it was a success, he could also summon them though they were all bones, he also can summon zombies but they seemed slow and not that strong so he just ignored them , he stopped further experiment with this skill because the room was not that big to experiment in.
Arthur was truly happy, he knew that his abilities are considered good even in this world.
After all, destroying a wall in a less than a second is a something not everybody can do, what's more is that he can use magic so that meant that there are people who can use it as well, but he was kind of depressed because his level was somewhat low, even if his stats are cheat-like, he didn't like having low level he felt kind of insecure.
For him, he didn't want to be put in a situation like the tragic past, he must be in control of his own destiny and not be toyed with by some greedy and evil people.
Arthur turned around and went near the tomb to appraise the robe and cane, they seemed ancient but they weren't destroyed so they may be useful to him
