Chapter 102 Blood Bone Spirit 4

“Now… what’s left… oh, right. The quest and the attribute points.”

“Well, since I decided to put them into strength I will just dump them all in. I want to be at least as strong as a level one” Jay shook his head to himself.

“Oh, that feels nice.” Jay felt like his body warmed up for a moment after raising his strength to 20.

“Ok, now the quest.” he smiled, content with all the benefits that reaching level 10 gave him.

[Class Quest Acquired]

<[Necromancer’s Wyrd Garden]>

[Construct your tree]

[Tree constructed 0/1]

[Rewards – Chalice, Request]

“Wyrd garden? Interesting… that must be what the seed was for. Hmm… Now I get a chalice and a ‘request’? Request of what? And to whom? What would I even ask for?”

Jay considered planting it but realised a dungeon was obviously not a good place to do so.

“If I plant it, I probably won’t be able to move it since it’s a tree. Why does it say ‘construct’ anyway?” Jay raised a brow, hoping he wouldn’t need to craft some sort of bone branches himself. Up until now, most of what he did was guess, test and experiment. This was his only option..

“I wish I had a guide of some sort… There’s just so much I don’t know. I was only a butcher about one month ago. I guess now I’m a gardener too?” he shook his head and chuckled to himself.

“Ok, I better get serious… I would need to plant it somewhere secret in the real world. But where?”

Jay scratched his chin in thought for a moment.

“I will not be staying in Losla forever, it’s a low level town so I won’t be staying here for long. Hmm. I don’t want to make any foolish decisions again either.” Jay pursed his lips, remembering how weak he was without his minions.

“I will give it much more thought, It would be smarter to wait till I find a suitable place and know a little more about the world.”

With a nod, Jay removed the notifications and finally finished his upgrade to level 10.

He looked around the room for a moment and even felt a sense of pride as his found skeletons stood before him. He really did just conquer this pyramid and hit level 10 all on his own.

“I feel like I just got so much stronger…” Jay smiled before recapping what he got.

“Let’s see, I got a quest, a passive, a path, another creature, and a seed.” he shook his head, still smiling.

He almost couldn’t believe how much he had gained simply by levelling up.

Next, Jay began looking around the room as he still grinned, he picked up the pile of soulstones and the three pieces of his shield.

[Large Soulstone] (Empty)

[Soulstone] (Empty) x 8

[Deathwalker’s Sentry Piece] x 3

“Now all that remains is the throne with the obvious trap above it.”

“You,” Jay pointed at Sweeper. “Bring me that stone.”

Without hesitation, the skeleton ran towards the throne, planting a foot on it and jumping.

“Well I guess the throne wasn’t a trap,” Jay shrugged, “but maybe the stone is.”

After the skeleton leapt into the air it tried to grab a hold of the massive floating glowing stone.

The skeleton’s claw-like hands reached out, but as they touched the stone, they simply went right through it; it was like a projection of light. An illusion.

Jay took a step back, thinking it was definitely a trap now.

Sweeper fell down and landed on its back; it clearly didn’t expect the stone to be non-physical.

The stone was large and kite-shaped. It glimmered for a moment and disappeared, and inside was a smaller version about the size of an egg.

It gently floated down and landed on the throne.

“Hmm…” Jay squinted, he didn’t trust it.

He expected a large spherical boulder to fall from the ceiling and chase him out of the tomb.

“Go, Sweeper.”

The skeleton went over to the throne and grabbed it this time. Jay still had a look of suspicion on his face, but to his surprise nothing happened.

“Huh, I guess I was wrong.” he shrugged before commanding his skeleton.

“Ok, bring it over.”

Sweeper slowly crept backwards away from the throne before jumping back, and then ran towards Jay at its usual speed with the stone. Jay smiled lightly seeing its human-like behaviour.

The stone was still kite-shaped but much smaller, and would fit comfortably in Jay’s hand, however It was not glowing anymore. It was a strange yellow rock.

Jay held out his hand to accept it, but again, just before Sweeper went to hand it to Jay, it dropped it on the ground before him.

“Dammit Sweeper…” Jay was a little dissatisfied, but this was still due to his own orders which he still hadn’t changed, though for some reason he felt like Sweeper enjoyed doing this.

Suddenly, a small skull popped out of the ground, grabbed the stone and held it up for its master.

Jay smiled, already appreciative of his new minion.

“Good, thank you.” he said, grabbing the strange stone and looking at his skeletons. He was going to reprimand Sweeper but decided not to say anything.

“I guess I did name him Sweeper after all…” he thought with a cheeky smile.

The skeleton worm-parasite snapped its jaws and went back underground, seemingly happy that it pleased its master.

Jay analysed the stone.

“Status concealer? So this is why that archer was level one!”

Jay realised quickly this was why it had [???] on all its skills. It had been bugging him since he saw the archers stats.

“So it’s like a disguise for stats. I’m guessing it wasn’t really called a treasure guard or whatever it was called.”

“Hmm… I bet this comes in handy someday. It would be good to change my name… and people won’t suspect a thing since they aren’t allowed to see other people’s skills… I could even keep myself at level 9” a big grin appeared to form on Jay’s face.

“Oh… maybe I could even escape the mage hunters by simply changing my name?” Jay looked up in thought “But… I would have to hide my face too. I guess it could work.”

“Wow,” a big grin began to form on Jay’s face as he realised other possibilities, his thoughts even drifted to things such as assassination.

“This is probably even better than the treasure that the statue was pretending to guard.”

Immediately, Jay decided to activate the stone and input his details – of course, he changed his level to 9.

[On]

The yellow stone suddenly turned black, and a yellow glow appeared over Jay’s body for a moment before disappearing.

Jay stored the stone in his inventory, still grinning to himself.

“Well, with the second pyramid down, I better go and see if Viladore’s ready for my lesson.”
