lv 1 skeleton

chapter 1

My last memory from my past life was walking into a sewer hole after my middle school graduation ceremony.

There was a feeling of falling into a never ending darkness, but the reality of death never came.

Rattle!

When I finally gained consciousness, I saw a mountain of skulls before me. Panicked, I looked around but the reality didn’t seem to sink in. No, almost like I didn’t have any emotions. I checked my body, hands and legs, and saw only bones. I had become a skeleton soldier like right out of a fantasy novel.

‘What’s this?’

I reached out to touch the screen floating before my eyes.

‘I had wanted to come to such a world, but why did I have to be a level 1 Skeleton soldier? Why!?’

For me, who had dreamed of worlds found in light novels or fantasy games, this situation was terrible. Regardless, my new life as a nameless skeleton soldier began.

‘Still, at least there is a level and ability system. If I work hard and practice my skills, shouldn’t it be possible to improve?’ It was at this time, while trying to motivate myself, that the skulls around me began to move.

Rattle! Rattle!

Bones and skulls began rising randomly, attempting to find their rightful place and form a skeleton.

‘What’s this?’

I tried to say, but only managed to make the sound of jaws chomping down.

Clack! Clack!

Meanwhile, dozens of skeletons had been assembled and they began walking down the mountain of bones.

‘What’s going on, are we going for a walk?’

The appearance of the skeletons varied greatly: first the skulls were different, some were tall, others short. Then some had a missing arm, pieces of rotten flesh still attached, a dagger in one hand and one was even equipped with with a sword and shield.

From afar, I heard someone shout.

“Gilian, I told you we should have brought a priest over!”

“Don’t you know how hard it is to find a priest these days?”

“Oh never mind, the skeletons are already here, please hold them off a while, I hope this magic will be effective against them.”

‘Are they adventurers or just a group of bandits?’

The walls of the corridor in which the skeletons walked were of dark marble, giving an eerie feeling. The path had been largely unused and looked like an underground graveyard with a thick layer of dust and many spiderwebs. Along the way we had to avoid several pits where the old floors had crumbled.

“Block your ears!”

“Fire Elemental heed my call! Rafflema strike!”

A large fireball flew in the air and hit the leading skeletons, resulting in an explosion sending all of them flying. I was hit by several debris and bone shrapnels until finally the shockwave also blew me away into a pit.

‘Oh no, it’s just like the sewer hole I had died in my previous life!’

I fell into a dark pit, unable to see anything.
