The Star Guild -- The Death Knight

#1: A Death Knight's First Steps into The World

=========

Author's Note: This is a fanfic, I own nothing. In fact the starting scene is based off of The Dark Wolf Shior's Gamer's Guide to necromancy on fanfic.net and AO3.

As for why I am not writing the space marine story, I've burned myself out trying to write that so I'm switching themes

==============

Welcome! You have been chosen as the Host of the Gamer System!

Note: > Soul-Modifier: The Gamer Type – [A Gamer is an individual endowed with a unique superpower that transforms their life into an experience akin to living within a video game. This power doesn't trap them in a literal game world but instead applies game mechanics and rules to the real world, influenced by various game genres and titles the Gamer's power chooses to emulate

In this case your powers chose to reference the games:

>> [World of Warcraft – Merged with smaller factors of many other RPG Games to make for more dramatic and expansive game power]

>> [Chivalry 2 offers a modifier that causes Realistic weapon damage such as dismemberment and organ damage factors into how much damage you do on top of the RPG elements of the WOW factor]

What the fuck? Looking around I can see nothing but darkness, only the text floating in front of my face is visible. I can't even see my body when I look down.

Due to the gruesome method in which you died your body was not brought along!

But don't worry, we can replace that easily enough!

Died?! Gruesome method!? I was perfectly fine a moment ago, I was... in a car? I was in the back seat on the way to... my home? Yeah that's right, we had just gotten back from our holiday, I took a nap in the car as my mum drove us home.

Correct, what you aren't considering is the incredibly violent car crash that killed you!

A truck hit the car, crushing your body to paste!

Oh, and your family as well. But they don't matter.

No, I was fine. We were fine. I would have woken up, this is just a bad dream, nothing more. I'll wake up in the car any minute now...

Huh, weird. I wasn't expecting you to freak out like this.

Easily fixed.

Immediately I can feel my panic violently suppressed, as more text boxes appear in front of me. This is real. I'm dead, my family is dead. I should be sad or angry about that, but I'm not. In fact I'm not feeling anything but... curiosity? Mentally I know that this... skill is messing with my mind but I can't bring myself to be upset about it. Quite literally, I physically can't get upset.

If you are done with your little panic attack, we need to go through the character creator.

I feel a brief spike of annoyance at the text box, but it's muted.
