I opened my status window, but then closed it with a sigh.
Then I looked upon Lackey, the low-rank skeleton, sitting calmly by my feet. As soon as our eyes met, it gnashed its teeth together with a ‘clack-clack’ sound.
“Lackey’s Status window.”

Ha…….
I became a ‘Necromancer.’
And, you can roughly tell just from looking at the Status window, but I was a stationary bowl of cold rice 1. If you told any user that these were the results of 1 years’ worth of dungeoneering, they would all be alarmed….because the growth rates were too slow.
This is all because of my class.
Before I can explain the situation surrounding my class, I should first explain how I became a user……
Simply put, every month the country implements a nationwide [ability distinguishing test]. Once you are judged to be suitable, to have potential, you can enter a [Hub] and register as an user. And, finally, at the time of registration, you have to choose a class available to you in order to finalize the registration process.
There are three classes available to be chosen during registration.
The jobs list will randomly contain classes that will relate, minutely, to your innate talents.
To be honest, it’s all about luck.
Anyway, once you choose a job, it’s all finished. At the time, I had no idea what would be powerful or what would suit me. I just had a vague idea, fueled by rumors from unknown sources, that ‘magic users’ or ‘healers’ would be treated nobly.
The classes that came up for me were Warrior, Alchemist, and Necromancer.
First, Warrior:
Warriors fulfill a combatant role, but are also known as a common class. Over 90% of users encountered it in their lists. Plus, I had no interest in melee combat classes. I already hate exercising; imagine running around in armor and carrying a sword….Anyway, I skipped over that class description.
Second, Alchemist:
I’ve heard briefly that making potions is lucrative, but honestly, who goes dungeoneering for the collecting-crafting cycle? I wanted to have a lofty battle class so I wasn’t willing to be an Alchemist either.
Behind them, the third on the list was Necromancer.
But, even from the beginning when clicking on the class description, I was already unsettled.
.
[Class Description]
Necromancer:
‘If time cannot be rewound, you can just rewrite the outcome, right?’
You are the companion of corpses and the resentful spirits that wander the netherlands. Those who lived shining mortal lives, but, in death, lose their bodies and are left with hate and a thirst for the shining lives they lost.
Souls who suffered unfair deaths and hold grim grudges will appeal, groveling with lips on the ground, to you who have never set eyes upon these beings before. They’ll say, ‘It’s okay to be your servant forever, as long as you listen to our story!’
Introduction of class skills:
Class skills are automatically applied to all battles after class selection.
<1man army>
You don’t have to stress yourself and party up with people you don’t match. Whatever your servant kills, it will be resurrected as a zombie. Here’s a good idea: if you’re forced to hang out with someone you don’t like, why don’t you kill them and make them useful! (Enemies your servant kills can be used as part of your army for a set period of time.)
<Fear>
All living beings fear death. It is natural to feel instinctive fear and awe towards you who conquers and deceives death. (Attacking with a skill can have a probability of inflicting ‘fear’ status effect. However, this is ineffective on undead beings.)
<Friend of darkness and night>
When the sun sets, cowards hide, but for you the banquet begins. (Increases skill attacks by 10% when attacking in the night, shade, or darkness)
.
So I chose ‘Necromancer,’ which seemed the coolest of the three options.
A message, [Wise Choice], popped up and I was handed a low-grade skeleton as my possession. I thought “Wow…what kind of car should I buy next month?” Like this, I ate my kimchi stew and grinned.
I named my skeleton ‘Lackey,’ [Ttakkari] at that moment. It was a name that advertised just how inflated my ego was…..
And then, 1 year after registering as a user…….
Those memories became dark stains upon my history.
Just a black stain? Looking back at all the fantasy novels I’ve read I had expectations, but seeing nothing but regression materials brings tears to my eyes . If only I could turn back the hands of time, I would immediately have chosen to be an Alchemist. Just thinking about how lucrative the Alchemist class is, I get so angry….at my past self that is.
