The Ruined Death Knight

chapter-10-30041322
"Finally..." Seeing the corpse of the hobgoblin I could finally relax and the burning feeling that was in my chest dissipated slowly together with the bonuses that [Sin of Wrath] provided me.
"I should have been more careful... I almost died cause of it, it was way too dangerous to even for my taste." I slowly walked towards the throne and was seated there.
"Not that I have a taste! hahaha...haaah. Status"

[XP:1500]
"It truly was close this time...but in the end, it was worth all the trouble! what do they call that? High-risk high rewards? And this overgrown piece of goblin truly gave me a lot of experience! 1500! That´s like what? Around 16 goblins in one go? He sure gave me a lot of juice, but for what should I use this XP for?"
But after thinking for a little bit there was only one place that I could place my hard-earned XP into. And that was towards my levels. Sure I could level my [Lower Weapon Mastery Lv.1] towards [Lower Weapon Mastery Lv.2] by spending my 1500 XP but after experiencing the battle versus the hobgoblin I didn´t notice that much difference between my level 1 and this level 2 [Lower Weapon Mastery].
And let´s forget about leveling [Miasma Corruption Lv.1] right now. This thing cost was whole 6000 XP! And it gave almost nothing compared to when I first got it. It would only slightly decrease the time needed to get the free attribute point together with the dark or what not skill cost that I haven´t even seen! And what was this +1 increased on all stats! Isn´t that like paying 6000 XP to only get around 4 stats and some empty promises!?
I ain´t getting scammed!
"Well, increasing my level isn´t that bad either although it is a little bland, I don't mind it much."
And the XP contentedly matched the amount that I needed to increased my level up to 2.
I casually pressed the button on the screen and Increased my level by 2.
[Level has increased from Lv.3 to Lv.4]
[Level has increased from Lv.4 to Lv.5]
[Strength increased by 2, Agility increased by 2 and Endurance increased by 2]
[You unlocked the class change option! Please choose wisely as the path that you choose cannot be turned back.]
"Wait what?" That came out of nowhere! And here I thought about how I can unlock the classes and more skills. Is it maybe though increasing my level? Anyway, I let´s see what this class is all about.
[Undead Magic Caster]
[Undead Warrior]
[Undead Rogue]
"Undead Magic Caster, Undead Warrior, and Undead Rogue? Is it because I am an undead that the classes have "Undead" on them? If I remember right the hobgoblin had the warrior class. Are they the same?"
Well, there was no point thinking about it right now. As currently, there was more important stuff to think about...
"It seems that once I choose one class I can´t change it...let´s first read the descriptions"
[Undead Magic Caster]: A practitioner of magic is what Magic Casters are. Through the use of magic, they can cast all kinds of different spells being for defense, offense, or even creation. The possibilities are endless! But as an Undead, you gain better affinity with certain spells and disadvantages with other ones. Choosing this path you focus will be more spell-oriented but that doesn´t mean that you are only limited to use spells. Magic Caster is the embodiment of "Knowledged is Power." And here is the start towards the path of Magic!
"So the Undead part in the class name is the cause of my race it seems. Nevertheless, being a Magic Caster sounds pretty attractive...but currently my lowest stat is Intelligence and it doesn´t seem to increase by just leveling up. The knowledge part would also be a problem if I were to choose this one. I should probably read the other ones before I choose this and if there isn´t anything better that I will just pick this."
I slide my finger on the screen and saw the next description.
[Undead Warrior]: Mastering one's weapon is what Warriors are. Through the mastery of their weapons and their enchanted bodies, they can withstand and destroy things just their mere body. Warriors are the embodiment of "Skill is Everything" and Mastering your weapon is the true goal of life. But as an Undead, you are able to surpass all the limitations that living has. Choosing this path you focus will through the use of your chosen weapon but that doesn´t mean that you are only limited to use your weapon and usage of magic is still possible, only less focused. And here is the start towards the path of being a Warrior!
"Damm that also sounds pretty good. If I were to pick this I would probably be able to get similar skills to [Sprint] and [Heavy Strike] that the hobgoblin had used. Not only that but If I remember right the [Sprint] skill had some disadvantages after use but If I were to use it I shouldn´t be affected by such skills and it also says that I will be able to learn magic later on. Even though I would not be the best at using magic later on I would still able to use my weapon!"
Seeing both options I got really excited. If both of these options were that good what will the last one be like?
Without waiting any longer I read the description of the last class.
[Undead Rogue]: Those who lurk in the darkness are called Rogues.
Through the use of shadows and assassination arts, they slowly find their target vulnerable and strike at the moment of carelessness in the most lethal way! As one that wields the power of immortality, the Undead though they higher affinity for dark magic they can hide even deeper into the darkness that no man can see. Rogues are the embodiment of "Nothing else matters if you reach your goal". Choosing this path your focus will be more on assassination weapons and arts with dark magic being your specialty. And here is the start to where you become one with your inner darkness and aim to be the master of darkness!.
"Ehm...what should I say. Isn´t this class. No, Isn´t this description somehow...too edgy? Isn´t the guy who wrote this description even embarrassed?"
No matter how many times I read this description I had a hard time taking it seriously halfway through.
Way too edgy!
Being one with your inner darkness?
Master of darkness?
Who would even say stuff like that!?
But well I get the gist of it. Basically, sneaking around your enemy through the use of dark magic or something right?
"All right, let´s Ignore the rogue class, and let´s choose one among the Magic Caster and Warrior."
Although I said to choose, I even already chosen what my class will be while reading the rogue class. Even though the rogue class description was beyond edgy it let me confirm one of my worries. And that was that being a Magic Caster isn´t the only way of using magic!
And so I choose the [Undead Warrior] as my class!
As it was the best class (in my perspective) for the Undead!
And sooner or later I would be able to experience magic, but for now, using weapons wasn´t that bad.
[You Class has been changed to Undead Warrior]

"Passive training? what´s that?" I pressed towards the passive training on the screen.
[Passive training allows you to gain XP by doing Warrior related training. Although the XP amount isn´t that much ]
"Oh, that sounds pretty useful! Now I don´t have to look for a fight every time I need to increase my XP."
I swiftly stood from the throne up and went to test the passive training right away until My foot bumped into something.
Or rather someone.
"Oh yeah, you guys are still lying around...."
Seeing my surroundings with the corpses and blood of the goblins and hobgoblin that I killed, together with trash laying down I couldn´t help scratch my head.
"Well...before that I should clean this place up shouldn´t I?"
I picked one of the female goblin corpses and I dragged it towards the exit of the cave. Doing that let me remember that I was still missing my left arm. Although it was slowly healing with some dead mana leaking out of the wound. I could only sigh...
"Sigh...."
