Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

Perhaps, only those who have truly faced death can appreciate the preciousness of life.

……

[You are killed by a skeleton guard (level 1) with a conical hammer, and you get blunt weapon resistance +1 and sharp weapon resistance +[-]. 】

[You were eclipsed to death by a large number of tombstone corpse insects (level 2), gaining corrosion resistance +[-]]

[You are instantly killed by the elite monster King of the Tomb (level 2), and you will be immune to fatal blows +[-]%]

……

Inside the silent and terrifying underground tomb.

A pile of white bones, and the appearance of a human can still be vaguely seen.

After the bones, on the throne.

The gigantic skeleton giant was wearing a rather luxurious tattered purple robe and a crown that was so brilliant that it was inappropriate. From the deep-set eye holes, there were two balls of bloody light that looked like flames.

This is the high-level undead—the king of the tomb chamber.

He was also the initiator of beating Kress into a pile of bones.

It was unknown how many times Kress had died.

As a human being reincarnated into another world, what is more terrifying than falling directly among a bunch of undead?

Of course, Kress is also lucky.

He didn't directly reincarnate as a living creature who suffered the envy of the undead.

Instead, he was reincarnated into the lowest level of undead - a skeleton (level [-]).

Because of this, he was not besieged to death by a bunch of skeleton soldiers at the very beginning.

……

The bones scattered on the floor tiles of the tomb room began to gather inexplicably, and then accompanied by a burst of dazzling white light, even the mighty "King of the Tomb Room" had no time to react.

Everything is as if it never happened...

……

[You are instantly killed by the elite monster King of the Tomb (level 1), and you will be immune to fatal blows +[-]%]

"So, did I die again?"

Kress, who has recovered his skeleton form, is now standing silently at the main entrance of the huge tomb palace.

This is where he was a few minutes ago.

It's like going back in time, every time he dies, he will be resurrected at a certain point in the previous time.

Of course, this resurrection will be beneficial.

He can accumulate levels, traits, memories, and skills he has previously acquired.

The only loss is that the original hundreds of skulls in the lower left corner will be reduced by one.

but……

Now, the [skull*999] symbol is still [skull*999].If it weren't for the hints in his mind, Kress wouldn't be able to discover this.

Really... like a game.

However, it's not a game.

Every previous battle, every exploration of this catacomb palace, made Kress clearly feel——

This is life, a new life.

Although there are still too many unknowns about this strange world.

However, none of these affect Kress's obsession with living.

In the last world, he failed to grasp his short life, so this time, he will live a different and wonderful life!

The first step to living a wonderful life! ...

Let's bypass this "King of the Tomb Chamber" first. (dog head)

Kress thought to himself, then quickly picked up the conical hammer from the skeleton guard that he had seized before, and tiptoed away.

If you could switch perspective, you'd see—

In the passage of the huge tomb palace, a naked low-level skeleton was dragging a one-handed tapered hammer, quietly looked around, and then quickly left.

……

【Name: Kress】

[Race: Skeleton (Undead)]

[Occupation: Skeleton soldier lv.2]

[Level: Level [-] (Racial Level [-], Occupation Level [-])]

[Skill: Corpse Poison lv.1]

[Weapon proficiency: One-handed hammer: 28]

[Characteristics: blunt weapon resistance -102, sharp weapon resistance +99, corrosion resistance +92, immunity to critical strike probability +3%, etc.]

[Experience value: 300/675]

……

From a certain point of view, Kress was quite lucky to be reincarnated as an undead.

Kress, who is an undead person, now has a special ability——

[Low-level mental effects are invalid, no diet, no sleep, no poisoning, no illness, no oxygen, no ability value damage. 】

[Paralysis is invalid, immediate death magic is invalid, anti-necromantic magic, physical punishment resistance, energy absorption is invalid, negative energy recovery is used, night vision. 】

In particular, there is no need for food and drink, which is the basis for Kress to continue to explore in this tomb without food sources.

Of course, the undead also have many weaknesses.

such as--

[Positive attributes, light attributes, and sacred attributes are vulnerable to attack, vulnerable to assault weapons, ability value penalties in the sacred positive attribute area, double fire damage, etc. 】

These are the basic characteristics of the undead.

Moreover, Kress didn't know if it was because he became an undead, it seemed difficult for him to have too violent mood swings.

If he had been in such a dark underground cemetery for a long time before, even if he would not collapse, he would definitely be affected by it and his mind would be fragile.

However, the current Kress doesn't have any negative emotions at all, just like...

This tomb had been integrated with him.

……

This underground tomb is like a huge underground palace.

There are a large number of undead.

Skeletons are just the most common type here.

Kress, who is also an undead, will generally not be attacked by them.

These low-level undead seem to have no intelligence and self-awareness, as if they only acted according to instinct.

But if Kress stepped into the domain of those high-level undead with lord consciousness, he would be regarded as an intruder by the other party, just like the previous king of the tomb.

Or, go to some special secret rooms guarded by special undead, and they are also vulnerable to attack...

"bump!"

With the sound of a blunt instrument breaking bones, Kress successfully killed a skeleton guard who regarded himself as an intruder.

A light blue spot rose from the remains of the skeleton guard and slowly entered Kress' body.

Is this a gain of experience?
Kress doesn't know.

He had also secretly observed the infighting among other undead in the tomb before, but he had never seen this light blue light spot appear.

However, one thing is beyond doubt——

Kress can be upgraded with this light blue light spot.

[You killed a skeleton guard (level 395), and gained [-] experience points. 】

[The level has been raised to level four. 】

[One-handed hammer weapon proficiency increased to 32. 】

……

Accompanied by the ingestion of the light blue light spot, Kress's body seemed to be filled with an inexplicable powerful force instantly.

The whole body seemed to have been tempered.

This is what an upgrade feels like.

Kress had this experience twice before, after killing ordinary skeletons and some low-level zombies.

Stretching out his left palm, Kress froze for a moment.

It was a well-articulated hand with slender fingers.

If he was still a human being, this must be a particularly good-looking pair of hands.

Unfortunately, he is now a skeleton.

Kress didn't continue to express too much emotion. He didn't know whether it was the simple thinking of the skeleton or the clear goal in Kress's heart. Now, he just wanted to leave this catacomb.

Kress wanted to see this new and different world.

To see the desert, the mountains, the sea...

To make up for his unfulfilled dreams in his previous life...

Only when you have lost it will you understand the value of having it.

Kress, has always understood this.

So, this time, let yourself live again with this brand new identity!
