Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　However, his mother's eyes were also filled with anger, which chilled him to the bone.

　At this moment, the necromancer who had slaughtered tens of thousands of lives in the demiplane trembled like any child who had made a mistake, amidst the wrath of his parents.

　The thought processes of beings at the Exemplary level far exceed those of normal humans. After a brief deliberation, Moros decided to reveal some of the facts.

　"Well, actually I can explain..."

　"Okay, I'm curious, what reason could make you disappear for a whole day without a trace!"

　Judging from Mr. Flacquard's gloomy face, if Moros's explanation did not satisfy him, a good beating was inevitable.

　"I've awakened superpowers!"

　As he spoke, Moros manipulated the magic within his body, creating a fireball in his hand.

　Although what Moros said at that moment sounded like nonsense, the presence of that blazing fireball made it incredibly convincing.

　"that……"

　Ignoring his parents who were completely stunned, Moros scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

　"Today is the first day that I awakened my superpowers. I was so excited that I hid and played all day. I didn't expect time to fly by so quickly. I'm really sorry for causing you so much worry."

　Listening to Moros's apology and looking at the fireball in front of them, Emma and Flacco exchanged a glance, both seeing complex emotions in each other's eyes.

　"Moros, have you told anyone else besides us about your awakening?"

　After calming down a bit, Mr. Flacquard asked the question solemnly.

　As someone who has weathered countless storms and amassed a vast fortune, he has a profound understanding of the complexities and darkness of human nature.

　He was well aware of the turmoil and consequences that the appearance of a superpowered individual would cause in this society full of competition and conflicting interests.

　"no!"

　Moros responded immediately, his attitude firm.

　Without the slightest hesitation.

　"I guarantee that no one knows about this except my parents!"

　“Very good, Morros, you must remember that superpowers are not child’s play, nor are they something for you to show off.”

　Staring into Morlos's eyes, Mr. Flacquard said very seriously.

　"Don't tell anyone that you've awakened superpowers! Absolutely not!"

　"I understand, Dad. I won't tell anyone anything about superpowers!"

　Upon hearing Morros's assurance, Mr. Flacco, who knew all too well how talented his son was, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

　Then he began to think about how to handle the day's events.

　Today, Mr. Flacquard is no longer the small-time company employee he once was.

　He now holds a portion of the power in this small town, albeit in a gray or even black way, but this has drawn the attention of many.

　But today, in his search for Moros, he has gone a bit too far.

　If those guys discover Moros's special abilities...

　Shaking his head to shake off the terrible thought, Mr. Flacquard made a decision.

　"You just stayed out too late today, it's definitely not because you had too much homework that you ran away from home."

　"Well, I did stay out too late today, that's all!"

　Moros's answer made Flacquard nod in satisfaction, and then he reserved his time with the two people he valued most.

　As for Flacett himself?

　He now needs to use all his connections to ensure that his final statement becomes the definitive conclusion of this matter.

　After telling his parents the "fact" that he had awakened superpowers, Moros's freedom increased dramatically.

　After ensuring that he had acquired all the necessary knowledge, Mr. Flacquard even gave Morrow the freedom to choose whether or not to continue attending kindergarten.

　Before meeting Velvi, Morlos would have chosen to drop out of kindergarten without hesitation.

　However, he now thinks that spending his childhood with Vervi is also a good option.

　After learning of Morlos's decision, Mr. Flacquard did not say much.

　However, judging from the two bodyguards who accompanied them to and from school every day, it was clear that Mr. Flacett hadn't been idle.

　And so, Morros and Vervi began their kindergarten life together.

　In kindergarten, they became each other's closest friends and spent a carefree childhood together.

　With Morros's support, Vivi's feelings of inferiority gradually faded, and she began to face the world around her with more confidence.

　Of course, compared to children of the same age, Vivi's introverted personality has not completely changed.

　The time he spent with Vervie brought Moros joy and fulfillment, but he was also aware of how hopeless the future held for the time he was in.

　Therefore, whenever he had free time, Moros would send his consciousness into the cemetery city in the demiplane to study the magical knowledge contained in the Magic Guild Level 3.

　Furthermore, in order to better improve his strength, Moros also tried to replace some of his sleep time with meditation.

　This will certainly be tough, but how can you become strong without paying a price?

　However, such wonderful times are not without their drawbacks.

　To prevent his disappearance from causing unnecessary chaos, Moros had to temporarily shelve his plan to clear out the wild monster forces in the demiplane and occupy all the wilderness buildings.

　Moros was well aware of what his decision meant.

　But compared to the warmth and affection this family gave him, he was willing to bear the consequences.

　At worst, when the world ends, you can hide in a demiplane. As long as you're not stubborn, you can always survive.

　With this in mind, Moros felt even more at ease enjoying his wonderful life.

Chapter 11 Three Years of Growth and Vervier's Performance

　Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three years have quietly passed.

　In these three years, although Moros's level only increased by one, he took solid steps on the path of magic.

　Three years ago, Moros's understanding of the spells recorded in the spellbook was limited to being able to recite them verbatim.

　At that time, he was essentially just a player who possessed the [Necromancer] class.

　However, after three years of study and research, Moros is now a genuine necromancer.

　Now he is free from the constraints of spellbooks and can freely cast spells according to his own will.

　Take the first-level destructive spell, [Magic Arrow], as an example.

　Three years ago, he could only follow the instructions in the spellbook, selecting a target and firing a standard energy arrow in a conventional manner.

　Now, however, Moros can flexibly adjust the amount of magic power invested, allowing the [Magic Arrow] to display different levels of power.

　This advancement has invaluable advantages in actual combat.

　The value of quantity.

　Moros, at level 13, only has 30 points of magic power. Even if he uses all his magic power to cast [Magic Arrow], he can only fire a maximum of 7 arrows.

　However, by cleverly adjusting the amount of magic power invested, Moros can now cast [Magic Arrow] a maximum of 30 times.

　Although this energy arrow, which consumes only 1 point of magic power, is far less powerful than the standard [Magic Arrow], the difference in power is almost negligible when facing enemies who are not superhuman.

　The life strength of an average person is only a negligible 2 or 3 points.

　Therefore, both the energy arrow with 4 points of power and the [magic arrow] with 40 points of power are deadly to them.

　Once the target is hit, the outcome is always death, without a doubt.

　Under these circumstances, Moros's strength naturally received a significant boost.

　This is just a small milestone in Morros's progress on his magical path.

　In addition to conducting in-depth research on the three first-level battle spells recorded in the spellbook, Moros also successfully taught himself the common language, Elvish, and Dragon language of the Ashan world through the knowledge contained in the [Third-Level Magic Guild] during these three years.

　Although mastering these three languages ​​will not immediately enhance Moros's strength, it will play a crucial role in his future growth.

　Because many magical texts are written in the language of the Ashan world, if Moros does not understand these languages, he will be unable to comprehend and learn the magical knowledge contained within them.

　Unlike warriors, mages cannot solve all problems with sheer brute force.

　For a monk, knowledge is power.

　This is also where spellcasters are most vulnerable compared to warriors.

　For their own future and growth, spellcasters need to constantly learn and master a large amount of knowledge, which makes their growth cycle relatively long.

　Compared to warriors, spellcasters need to invest more time and effort to accumulate knowledge and experience in order to continuously improve their magical skills.

　In the world of Ashan, Moros's current knowledge is only equivalent to that of a novice low-level mage.

　This is because he possesses the intellectual level that is elevated by beings at the paradigmatic level.

　If someone has the intelligence of an average person, it would take at least fourteen to fifteen years to become an excellent low-level mage in the world of Ashan.

　In contrast, combatants are quite different.

　With the right resources and qualifications, an ordinary person can become a promising low-level warrior in a maximum of one year.

　However, this is in view of the spellcaster's astonishing class cap.

　For the beings of the world of Ashan, if given a choice, they would prefer to become spellcasters rather than warriors.

　Besides the growth in personal strength, the land of Moros has also undergone tremendous changes over time.

　The cemetery city is now taking shape.

　The Citadel stands firmly, protecting the vast cemetery.

　The towering CityHall appears solemn and mysterious, complementing the surrounding architecture.

　The magical runes on the surfaces of the ResourceSilo and the Tier 3 Magic Guild shimmered with a fluorescent green light.

　On either side of the cemetery city, the Sepulcher and the Haunted Tower echo each other, creating a unique landscape filled with an eerie atmosphere.

　Between the two unit recruitment buildings is the Pillars, which appear to be made up of two human skeletons embracing each other.

　With the addition of the previously established cemetery faction buildings, the cemetery city is now just one step away from establishing the Capitol.

　According to Moros's estimate, in just one or two months, the magical building that symbolizes the true establishment of the Kingdom of Death will rise in his territory.

　Just as Moros was pondering which cemetery building to construct after finishing the [Congress], a soft, gentle voice rang in his ear.

　"Brother Moros, what are you thinking about?"

　He turned his head and saw that Vilvi's face was as delicate as a porcelain doll.

　"nothing."

　Moros answered with a smile.

　"I was just wondering what your performance today would be like."

　Today is the graduation ceremony for Moros's class, and he has already heard that the cute little guy next to him will bring a wonderful magic show to everyone.

　Moros's answer made Velvi's eyes sparkle with excitement.

　"Please look forward to it, my performance will definitely surprise you!"

　After saying that, Vilvi took off running backstage with her short legs.

　As a young magician who is going to perform on stage, Velvi still needs to go backstage to get her makeup done.

　Seeing Vervie's excited expression, Morros felt a warmth in his heart.

　Over the course of three years, the friendship between Morros and Vervière deepened.

　Now, he truly considers Vervie his best friend.

　At the graduation ceremony, Vivi's magic performance took place as scheduled.

　She walked gracefully onto the stage, dressed in a khaki magician's outfit, her long, two-tone hair flowing lightly.

　Under the spotlight, she seemed to transform into a true magician, radiating a mysterious and captivating glow.

　Velvi began her performance, and with a gentle wave of her hands, dazzling magical light appeared in the air.

　The audience was amazed and completely captivated by her performance.
