My Necromancer Class
chapter-101

Jay opened the notification [Class Item Acquired].

Quickly, he checked his inventory scanning through everything but there was nothing new there. Nothing out of the ordinary.

“...”

“Huh? Where’s my new item??”

Nothing happened at first which caused some agitation, but the next second, some green gas left Jay’s hand; some of his necrotic mana was pulled from his body, and before him it floated; coalescing into a small cloud.

“What is going on?” he looked at his hand - of course, it was still under his control.

Jay had wide eyes, uneasy as he watched this phenomenon - he could sense that it was his necrotic energy but he was not controlling it - it was like it had its own mind.

Suddenly, more wisps of the green gaseous mana came from the pyramid walls; some came from the ground too. It was like they were everywhere all along, much like the ambient mana in the atmosphere which permeated all things.

Jay subconsciously stepped back, and it was coming from all directions now, and was all heading towards the mana that was released from his hand. It was like it had a gravitational pull.

Soon, the green wisps coming got larger, turning into clouds. They were becoming even more dense now too.

All of them gathered and mixed with the necrotic cloud that formed from Jay’s mana.

The whole pyramid was glowing green inside now, it looked like a thousand floating lanterns had been lit and left inside.

Suddenly, a sound began to fill the pyramid; ghostly whispers of undead souls.

Jay felt like instinctively ducking for cover, but soon he realised the sound was coming from everywhere as he looked around.

Hundreds of head-shaped green glowing clouds floated in seemingly through every wall.

“Aaaaa~~” they made soft exhaling sounds as they floated past.

Jay looked more closely at them. Their eyes were glazed over and fixated on the ball of necrotic energy that left Jay's hand; they all had their mouths open as if they wanted to consume it - but after getting too close, they only became part of it and made it bigger.

These ethereal faces made whispering sounds as they passed by. One of them even flew through Jay’s chest towards the gathering thick cloud; it was like he was invisible to them.

Jay decided to remain quiet, he felt a strange sense of ceremony surrounding it, that it was better to keep quiet - but he still had a single thought the whole time.

“What the fuck… what the fuck… what the… - what the fuck?” his eyes were wide open now.

He had a relatively calm expression compared to his inner thoughts.

“Why do they have faces… shouldn’t they be skulls? What the hell… that one has flowing hair…”

These floating heads entered the orb and swirled around it for a moment; at one point some of them poked their faces out with looks of fear on their faces. It was like they were trying to escape now.

After being lured in like bugs to the light, they were now like moths in the flame; utterly consumed by it.

The whispering sound was slowly dying down now as the few last ethereal heads entered the massive ball of luminous green gas.

It was swirling and spinning, but suddenly, it froze as if it paused in time.

“AHHHH!!~ RAAAA!!~ AAAA!!~” what sounded like hundreds of screaming voices suddenly came from it as the massive cloud of necrotic mana contracted for a moment.

The orb then released a pulse of green light and the voices were gone.

Jay didn’t have time to react and would have tried to block, but his shield was in pieces - thankfully the green pulse didn’t harm him, and after realising he was unharmed he continued to watch.

After the luminous green light left, all that was left was a black floating orb of gas which started to move again. Jay still felt like it was his own mana even though it was no longer green, and he continued to remain silent as he watched the black cloud before him.

It began to condense and contract, getting smaller and smaller. It went from being the size of Jay’s butcher shop to being the size of one of his skeletons - and it was getting smaller still.

Jay could walk closer now that it was shrinking in size, but out of his cautiousness he didn’t get too close; what was happening was a complete unknown.

After a while it began to slow down as it became solid, finally it was about the size of a child’s fist.

After being shaped into an oval it grew some small tendrils all over it; they almost seemed like hairs except that they were rhythmically moving, each one of them as long as a finger and as skinny as an arrow.

Slowly, it began to float towards Jay.

“Oh.. shit. Wait…” Jay backed up and quickly pulled out a luminous orb. He wanted to look at it before he would touch it.

To Jay, it seemed like as soon as it touched him it would burrow under his skin and start eating him from the inside out.

The light from his luminous orb revealed a wrinkled black seed-like object covered in tiny long hair-like tentacles.

“Eugh…” Jay's face grimaced seeing it.

It continued to float towards him, but he could also sense his own mana in it, and somehow he felt like it was a desirable treasure at the same time.

“I suppose I have no choice.”

It continued to float towards him, and he held his hand out as it gently floated into it.

“It feels slimy and wrinkly…” he thought as he held it.

The small tentacle-like threads coming from it seemed to be in zero-gravity as they waved about in the air.

“I suppose it could be worse. At least it hasn’t burrowed into my stomach and laid eggs.”

After getting used to it, Jay wasted no time in analysing it.

<[Necrotic Wyrd Seed]> (Unique)

[Unless a seed falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces a bountiful harvest]

[Sowing Requirements: Life. Death.]

“Hmm ok… cool. A lot of ceremony for a seed, I’ll have to figure it out later.” Jay didn’t give it much more thought, storing it away in his inventory.
