Chapter 110 - Zombie Forgemaster

Chapter 110: Zombie Forgemaster

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Ever since then, Hu He would spend a lot of time understanding the Secret of the Zombie Spirit Sect, but he did follow his grandfather’s warning of not cultivating.

As for the reason why he wanted to test the power of this ancient book in the game, it was due to a bizarre event that he noticed in the game yesterday.

That day when he was claiming new turf in the Naraka Instance Dungeon with his team, they met an elite monster named Zombie Fire and were attacked by it.

Being the assassin on the team, Hu He swiftly moved beside Zombie Fire while it was attacking, searching for a chance to attack.

Unexpectedly, Zombie Fire suddenly changed its attacking direction and charged toward him.

The sudden attack cost almost half of his health and another attack followed immediately.

Just when he was about to be killed, he found that there was a fiery red bead under Zombie Fire’s left underarm.

As he was very familiar with the Secret of the Zombie Spirit Sect, Hu He recognized this bead. It was named Leakage, a weakness point deliberately left by the Zombie Forgemaster.

When a zombie spirit is successfully created, they will automatically take in Yin energy from the world, cultivating and progressing without being noticed. Through this, ferocious spirits could easily be born. Leakage was purposely made to prevent the zombie spirit from attacking their owners, thus giving the Zombie Forgemaster extra protection.

If it was only that, Hu He could regard it as a coincidence.

However, when his dagger cut open the red bead, the scene astonished him.

Gusts of thick black fog escaped from Zombie Fire’s underarm after the bead cracked, causing it to slow down its motion and ultimately saved Hu He from this deadly attack.

The discharging of zombie energy was indeed identical to the records in the ancient book.

Was Zombie Fire made by a Zombie Forgemaster? Hu He seemed extremely shocked.

After the zombie energy was discharged, Zombie Fire was easily killed by his team due to the great reduction in its strength and speed.

However, Hu He found all of this strange.

Why did the same forged-zombie appear in the game as recorded in the ancient book? Was the founder of this game also a descendant of the Zombie Spirit Sect? Is this why he added the same easter egg in the game?

Even Hu He himself thought that his hypothesis was unreasonable, but he just couldn’t shake it off.

If his guess is correct and the game’s founder is indeed a descendant of the Zombie Spirit Sect, then he might be able to use the secrets of the Zombie Spirit Sect in the game.

He wouldn’t dare to learn them in reality, but since he did not have to worry about his body getting damaged in the game, Hu He went to the Burial Grounds without any pressure in order to prove that. He started to search for body remains, trying to make a zombie out of what he learned from the ancient book.



Looking at the remains on the ground, Hu He waved his hand and the photos in the gallery started to flip by pages.

He built the zombie while referring to the ancient book. Then, he followed the method recorded in the book to summon a spirit by using his blood. He tried again and again according to the procedures.

Although he had read the ancient book many times and the graphics of zombie building were already very familiar to him, it wasn’t until he actually tried it when he realized that it was so much harder to do it.

After a few trials of building and summoning, Hu He was discouraged by his failure to awaken the zombie spirit, leading him to think that perhaps he was being too sensitive.

According to his grandfather, they were probably the only bloodline left from the Zombie Spirit Sect. It was impossible that there were other descendants, let alone them being the game’s creators.

Unwilling to accept his results, Hu He decided to try one last time. If he failed again, he would give up.

So he built it again by following the method in the ancient book.

But just as he had expected, he failed again.

The zombie spirit was still not awakened.

Disappointed, Hu He completely gave up as he did not want to waste any more time. Just when he was about to leave, the sound of the game’s notification rang in his ears.

[Permission to create a new character class: Zombie Forgemaster (Note: Once you choose this, you may not give up on it. This character class is a systemless growth progress, so you will need to learn everything on your own!)]

There really is a hidden easter egg! So my guess was correct? Hu He’s face was full of surprise.



Actually, as soon as Hu He started building the zombie, Lu Wu and Bei Li already noticed him and the Secret of the Zombie Spirit Sect in his gallery.

This player was portraying strength beyond what the artifact had given and Lu Wu was totally astonished by him. He thought Hu He was also a cultivator in real life.

However, Bei Li’s inference was different. For her, Hu He’s zombie forging techniques were far too amateur. He did not even master the basics as a Zombie Forgemaster and his soul strength was like a normal person’s. He was a total stranger and could not even be considered as a cultivator.

However, his actions sparked Lu Wu’s curiosity. So he asked Bei Li if this kind of power could be progressed digitally under the artifact.

According to Bei Li, Hu He’s zombie forging skills was probably a branch of a cultivation system in the underworld which was popular there. Since there was no related data saved in the artifact, if it were to be digitized, the future progress of this character class would be unknown, but most probably the result would be this account going astray.

After all, character classes like the Cursed Apostle and the Rune Master were created out of years of collection created by other clans in the underworld.

So this Zombie Forgemaster could not be compared to the other character classes in the system. Furthermore, this player was a complete clueless rookie. Even if he changed his character class, he would only be slightly stronger than his original one, the assassin. There was no way that he could beat the other specified character classes in the system.

However, Lu Wu still hoped that this player could grasp this self-exploration path, providing the game with one more varied progression path. Nonetheless, as he was not in a position to decide, he gave the player the chance to choose.

After all, Lu Wu’s vision for the game was to provide freedom to the players, allowing them to unleash their own potential. Therefore, the players would always surprise him.



Looking at the game notification, Hu He’s heart pounded with excitement, wanting to confirm immediately.

However, he hesitated.

His initial aim was to become a Cursed Apostle, mastering the powers of the Naraka Realm. But this character class came with a term that said no giving up, so there was no turning back once he had made his choice.

Moreover, this game did not allow account deletion and restarting. So the outcome of his choice was a great sacrifice.

It was then Hu He’s grandfather’s face appeared in his mind.

Although I can’t cultivate this in reality, I could inherit my grandfather’s mission and follow his footsteps in another form if I choose this character class.

Right after that, Hu He’s eyes glowed with firmness, and he chose to confirm.

[Server Announcement: Congratulations to player Hu He for creating a new character class, Zombie Forgemaster. Hidden reward received: 500 soul coins (untradable)]

Once the notification appeared, all the players in the server were in an uproar.
