Chapter 3 (2/2)
…
After a while of trying, he had to accept the reality.
There was no mission system, no system helper, no AI. Nothing!
“Alright…”
Thulhu muttered to himself, but he also felt more relaxed at the same time. Shawn once commented that he had “a cold face but a wicked tongue,” which was true. However, Thulhu’s heart in fact longed for freedom. Thus, he wouldn’t want a game helper living in his mind and giving him mandatory missions.
When he was testing that out, his XP had slowly reached 50. The airflow from the book and into his body had stopped.
Thulhu took a deep breath. “I gotta try this.”
When the window popped up again, Thulhu instantly chose “YES” decisively!
“Confirmed – Skill learned: Corpse Princess!”
As soon as Thulhu made the decision, his XP instantly dropped back to 0 again.
Meanwhile, Thulhu moaned. He felt as if someone had just hit his brain with a brick as a lot of knowledge poured in, all of it to do with the black witchcraft, Corpse Princess.
…
“Corpse Princess is the most basic black witchcraft ritual. Ingredients required: a female corpse, the blood of the caster… Caution: Male corpses won’t work!”
“When drawing the magic circle, pay attention to the pentagram’s position. The tips should be aimed at the dark constellations in the sky to increase the chances of success…”
“A corpse princess doesn’t have intelligence, and its overall combat power is low. In most cases, a corpse princess is just a servant. However, the power of a corpse princess will increase correspondingly with the caster’s own power. A higher level corpse princess can be used in combat.”
…
Thulhu covered his head with his hands. This time, the surge of knowledge felt completely different.
Earlier, he had simply recalled the memories of the previous Thulhu.
This time, however, it felt like someone had just cracked his head open and crammed the knowledge into it!
The pain was almost intolerable!
Thulhu ground his teeth to prevent himself from crying out bitterly.
Gasping hard, he finally felt a bit better after several minutes.
He looked at the book page again, and found that he understood everything on it. Thulhu even wanted to give it a try now!
He looked at the panel, and found the expected change:
[50XP consumed. Skill learned: Corpse Princess. Current level: LV1!]
Thulhu now saw [Corpse Princess LV1] in the skills section.
Thulhu gently touched the section using his will, and more information came out: [Corpse Princess LV1: Raising a female corpse temporarily through a ritual; low success rate.]
It was true!
Thulhu clenched his fists.
Taking a deep breath, he folded the page again and put it back in the envelope. He then stood up.
Looking around, he saw several other students on the lawn. The closest one was about a dozen meters away from him, lying in the shade and snoring.
Fifty meters away was a couple sitting on the lawn and enjoying their picnic.
The sun was still bright overhead.
No one knew that just now, a young man had just confirmed the existence of wizardry!
The world… was going to change…
That was what Thulhu thought as he walked away.
