Fear not, that which stands in front of you, reflecting the very foulness it embodies, rather, be afraid of the innocent.
The pure, ever so sweet, and welcoming, because even if they’re not monsters, the wounds they can inflict are the ones capable of hurting you the most…
An idea, so many claim to understand, yet the moment they meet some charming person, or hear five words they don’t even really know the meaning of, it all fades away, like words spoken into the wind.
Now, I certainly can’t save everyone from their own foolishness or every danger lurking in the dark, but what I’m more than capable of addressing is ignorance, so today you all shall learn what “You have found a soulmate” actually means.
A difficult thing to pin in a box when souls are multifaceted things, that we are a long way from truly understanding, but luckily due to the countless studies that have been conducted, there are a number of things we do know.
First off, it pains me oh so much, to crush the dreams of all you star eyed romantics out there, but soulmates are in fact, not some destined long lost lovers who are the perfect matches for each other.
Well, unless you believe your perfect match, is a non sentient being who doesn’t even remotely share similar physiologies with you (rolls eyes) “love is love, and with enough time any being can change their forms” Sure, did I forget to mention every individual entity has thousands to millions of soulmates spread across the cosmos… Is love still love, with you, and your millions of partners?
(sigh) I can practically hear some of you still screaming “But what about in the RARE, cases where entities are similar organisms, and “FATE” brings them together?” In the documented cases, there certainly have been subjects who have fallen in love, but in the vast majority of documented studies spanning millions of years!
We have observed soulmates behaving just like they do around anyone else.
They fall in love, hate each other, become friends or simply ignore each other, and have no idea they’re soulmates at all, which tells us what exactly?
That there is no special spark among soulmates, and they’re not related to some grand fated destiny, but then what does that make them?
The answer, at least the most popular one due to this similarity being found in how soulmate is translated by the system, is that the answer is in the name itself, soul-mate, mate.
Soulmates aren’t star crossed lovers fate itself has written a destiny for, but instead are simply part of a greater whole, in this case a soul.
Now, with all of the fluff out of the way, it’s time for why any of this matters or the ever insidious danger I alluded to earlier, and what better way is there to start off with than a question.
What do you think happens when wards are keyed to allow access to family members or general enough where one is not locked out of their room in the event they manage to grow a bit or even experience an evolution?
The answer, beings who share your soul can slip through the cracks, worse still with soul growth being associated with an increase of power it has naturally given rise to rippers… Individuals who hunt for their soulmates in either an attempt bypass any bottlenecks they’re experiencing or in rarer cases are attempting to form a “true soul” A point where all of one’s soul is contained in a single body, and is something no known entity has achieved, given souls are constantly swirling in the wheel of life, and growing, but like all things in the universe, there’s always someone out there who wants to do something first.
With all of that, I hope I’ve educated you all on the dangers of soulmates, but while we are here, and talking about souls I’d be remiss in my duties, if I didn’t mention one more thing.
A far greater evil, necromancy, basic ward security may be important, and rippers, may be monsters who need to be put down, but necromancers on the other hand, not only desecrate the cycle of life itself, but the very will of the gods themselves… It’s the only known class that directly reaches into the wheel of life, where with dark twisted magic, they grab ahold of souls, and corrupt them to fit their own desires.
This is why we can not, and must not allow a necromancer to live, they are the greatest threat to exist across any realm, even in the hells, where demons see souls as little more than currency, demons hunt down necromancers with the ferocity of a dog chasing after a bone, because this class is something, which goes against the very order of reality.

Maggots, flies, and the sweet smell of rotting flesh oh my!
Become a necromancer they said, it’s the perfect class for you they said, but did they mention the foul smell of rotting flesh or how disturbing the reanimation of mangled rotten dead things covered in maggots is?
Of course not!
Which sure! in hindsight is a bit on the obvious side, but the ooze, so much ooze…
Mangled, rotten, torn patchwork fur with exposed oozing flesh covered in crawling maggots, a moving skeletal paw, and flies the size of nickels just buzzing around, while two unblinking blue orbs stare directly into my very soul.
“Nope, no, these are not going to be my minions, I refuse!”
Tier Zero Zombie Rabbit – Fate, life, or some circumstance beyond the will of this poor creature has ultimately led to the death of this poor little bunny.
Then suddenly, after a bit of time, for some unknown reason a necromancer came along, and decided to breathe new life into this poor defenseless creature.
0_o
With a wave of my hand, a mana bolt condenses in the center of my palm, before blasting into the rabbit, and shattering its body apart.

“But my skills are still progressing, so the jokes on you!”
‘Silence’
“And I am still talking to myself great… Ughh” I’m not walking around with a bunch of half rotted creatures that smell, and are covered in bugs, but where does that leave me?
Raise The Dead – This is the spell that truly separates necromancers from any other kind of class that uses minions, while other classes might use similar materials, animating bones, forming elementals made of blood, or even raising monstrosities made of flesh.
Necromancers take it a step further, they don’t simply raise empty shells bound to them, instead they reach beyond the veil, their will finding a soul to fit their needs, before twisting it, and binding into their constructs.
Anyone can imbue a skeleton, but only a necromancer can raise one that already knows how to swing a sword.
There’s nothing here saying that I have to use the entire body of a creature, which means hypothetically, it should be possible to raise three minions from a single body or just choose what my minions are made of.
A pulse of energy stretches out of my body, slowly seeping into the blood that’s splattered around the rabbit, before I utter “Raise The Dead”
Red mist blooms out of the black stained dirt, while the mangled remains begin to shift, as all of the blood inside of the body, and staining the fur comes to life.
The flies, and maggots are displaced as the blood pools into the air, forming into a small little red ball that floats above the remains of the rabbit.
New Magic Discovered
Blood Magic – Some people are happy with “just” the ability to raise the dead, and why wouldn’t they be, when with, but a wave of their hand, they can begin creating an unstoppable horde, but not you.
You have instead begun to explore the nuances of necromancy, the realm of blood, which holds unimaginable power!
And, just so happens to increase your bounty rate by 200 credits x level x class tier + the totals of any previous tiers, at least if it’s discovered you’re using blood magic.
Hint, the floating blob of blood, kind of gives it away, are you sure you want to learn flesh magic as well?
Power always has a price, particularly when certain gods, and entire societies have deemed certain powers immoral or even something, which dares to infringe upon their domain.
New Spell
Blood Manipulation – You know how a fire mage can make fire do what they want?
Well so can you! just you know, with blood, which is slightly less effective at the whole you know, smiting your enemies in a burning inferno thing!
But hey, I’m sure you’ll find a use for it 🙂
Unimaginable power, apparently at the low cost of a bounty increase, then again… blood magic at least in practically every story does tend to go hand in hand with blood sacrifices, blood rituals, and vampires.
All of which don’t exactly have a stellar reputation, so maybe it’s a bit deserved?
And then there’s flesh magic, something filled with monstrous creatures, typically made from the flesh of sentient beings.
Oh, and let’s not forget the things like shape shifters, or changelings, which are some of the objectively worst fictional?… “Monsters” Like, there’s no way there are actually monsters who eat children, and also trick the children’s parents into raising their spawn, who then goes on to eat said parents, right?
A quick shake of my head sends that thought tumbling away, and hey it’s not like I even have kids!
“Not my problem, but still, so dark.”
Tier Zero Blood orb – Made up of 99.9% rabbit blood and .1% trace blood from unknown sources.
Rabbit blood, with a trace of mystery blood, is this perhaps the potential unimaginable power?
“Hmm, who doesn’t love a mystery, but it’s also not really my concern right now.” The same energy, my mana then begins to sink into the skin of the rabbit “Raise The Dead!”
The body of the rabbit shudders, the flesh of the rabbit bubbling, before it begins to liquify.
Solid, well solidish flesh quickly turns into a gray goo, which streams into a orb drifting in the sky, circling around the blood orb, leaving behind nothing, but sparkly white bones, some very confused maggots, and a few buzzing flies.
New Magic Discovered
Flesh Magic – A magic capable of shaping flesh, capable of even redefining what a species is, or giving birth to monstrosities, which will forever haunt people’s nightmares.
Well, assuming of course they manage to escape whatever horror you ended up creating.
Your bounty rate has been increased by 300 credits, at least if it is discovered that you’re using flesh magic… Hint the floating blob of flesh, kind of gives it away, and don’t say that you weren’t warned.
New Spell
Flesh Manipulation – The ability to alter or shape flesh, but the flesh of the living costs far more to change, particularly if they try to resist the change.
My bounty is going to rise at double the typical rate, at least if anyone can tell the various magics that I’m using, which is fine… totally fine, I mean how much does it really matter?
Like, if someone is willing to hunt me down over credits, no matter what, it would have only been a matter of time before they came knocking on my door.
“But god, do I hope that credits are worthless.” (Raise The Dead)
The rabbit’s bones start flaking apart, before shooting into the sky, and forming into a white little orb that circles around the two other orbs.
New Magic Discovered!
Bone Magic – Glorious shining ivory has bent to your will, allowing you to shape it, and create wonders beyond anything your primitive world has ever seen!
Or at least when it has come to the fine art of bone crafting.
When mana has completely changed the game, and transformed bone into something capable of reaching the heights of the most sophisticated materials.
The only question is, what will you use this ability for, a towering sky scrapper, a completely unique creation, or well, with your abilities, perhaps something simpler, like a pointy stick, or maybe even a couple of bones?
New Spell
Bone Manipulation – Where do bones come from, where does life itself come from?
Magic!
And if you thought they came from the culmination of biological copulation… You’re oh so very wrong!
After all, what came first, the chicken or the egg?
Huh!?
Huh!?
Magic!
This spell allows you to not only create bones, but even turn them into whatever you want.
With the only real limits being your mana, control, and how closely you’re able to pay attention to the fine details.
Something, which will surely increase in time, opening all kinds of possibilities, like endless jello or monstrous undead horrors, dealers choice.
Congratulations!
You have discovered the six branches of magic that make up your class.
Arcane

Blood
Bone

New Talent
Necromantic Creator – Tier Zero or non magical grade materials are now half as expensive for you to create, while all created items or creatures are now able to be formed with materials one tier lower.
Meaning, you can now create a tier one hundred dragon with the materials of a tier ninety nine one.
(Note) These evolved materials revert to their previous state upon destruction of item or creature if they haven’t had enough time to saturate to the level of the evolved material, and will be unable to evolve, until saturation is met, which can take centuries depending on the tier/available mana.
New Spell
Harvest – A spell focused on gathering materials from remains of the fallen, only impacts elements that you control, and temporarily animates materials into floating orbs.
Orbs can be repurposed whenever you want, but mundane materials will require mana to upkeep, at least if you want them to float.
This cost can be offset or even eliminated by using higher grade materials, but this will slowly drain the materials, and will cause the materials to slowly normalize.
Soooo many boxes, I swear at this point it’s almost as if the system is trying to kill me with information overload, but hey at least it has some interesting things sprinkled in.
The key one here being the ability to create materials, meaning potentially unlimited resources to use for my class!
Now, why exactly my class force fed me a spell, which leads me to dead stuff, instead of just giving me the make stuff option is still a bit in the air, maybe the system simply rewards ingenuity, either way it’s time to raise something a bit better than a rabbit.
“Raise The Dead, Honey Badger Skeleton Tier Zero.” Mana bursts out of my hand, swirling around my body, as the little white orb bursts open, and swirls into a white mist.
The mana, and the dust mix together, before forming into bright white shards that shoot in front of me.
In moments the skeleton of the badger begins to take shape, forming about half the body, before my mana sputters.
The white dust has run out, my mana begins to hum, it almost feels as if there is something asking me how I want to continue, and when my mind reaches back with the need to finish it.
For a moment, the buzzing continues, but then the spell shifts, falling into bone manipulation like something snapping into place, and white dust begins to stream out of my hands.
The rest of the body quickly forms, but something is wrong, pain begins to race through my body, as everything starts to grow dark, and the last thing I see before fading away to oblivion is two burning blue eyes.

‘Bumm’
‘Bumm’
‘Bumm’
Trumpets blare, my eyes shoot open, and for some reason I feel great, my headache is gone, while the rest of my body feels better than it has ever felt.
Global Announcement!
The sky shudders as a red claw pierces through the clouds, and for a moment the world becomes still, silent, almost as if the entire world is holding its breath, but then another claw bursts through, directly opposite the other.
The entire world starts to shake, the sky itself seems to crack, as the claws grip, and tear.
Golden light starts to leak around the claws, until a golden wave bursts out, and for a moment everything is lost to the blazing light.
When it clears, a twelve foot being covered in glowing silver plate mail is standing over me.
They have shimmering yellow eyes, two silver curved horns about three inches in length, a thick leg length tail plated in the same silver metal, red gauntlets or claws that link seamlessly with the armor, silver flowing feathers lining the side of their helmet.
Their face, the only thing not covered in armor, is sharp, narrow, with skin that is made of a fine patchwork of red scales, with a lizard like snout slightly protruding from their face, and then there is their voice, a deep gravelly tone that makes the very air shake with every word.
“Hello people of earth or rather, people of dirt, what a fitting name for a “people” that currently have the same value as the dirt beneath our feet, potentially filled with life, riches, or completely worthless, and dead… Luckily, unlike the dirt beneath our feet, you all at least have the will to shape your fate, to become something greater. A possibility far out of reach for most of you, yet some of you just might actually achieve something remotely interesting, but is also, ultimately irrelevant in the face of the great honor being bestowed on you all.”
He smiles, his teeth are rows upon rows of pointy razor sharp teeth, and then he leans over.
His body looms over me, and their face is inches from mine.
“It’s your great honor to become residents of the latest waste planet of the great Nelka empire, and yes it’s exactly what it sounds like. We will be pumping this desolate mound of dirt, with waste materials, primarily mana, which we have been pouring into this planet over the past couple of weeks or so, and is what you all can thank for your access to the system. The wondrous marvel, which has granted the abilities or rather unlocked the innate talents that make all of you, who you truly are. One’s trash truly is another’s treasure,”
Red wings made of mana then burst from his back, and he leans back “and I’m sure there are many questions, all of you are just dying to ask, but really there are only two that truly matter.
At least if any of you want to live past six months… The answer to the first question, a question you should honestly already know the answer to by now, yet some of you really seem to need things spelled out for you, and watching you all flounder around, quite frankly sickens me.
So I will spell it out for you, mana is in fact imbuing every single last material on Earth, which will lead to all kinds of interesting consequences that will forever alter this world.
Like, all organic life forms currently having classes, and at minimum having the same potential as humanity.
While the second one, the question which should be ringing in your little minds, is what exactly is going to happen after six months?” He gets a thoughtful expression across his face “I wonder if I should even bother to tell you, but then again perhaps it will encourage you all to push for more, because if you don’t well… six months is how long it will take for the mana levels to be normalized between Earth, name change pending, and Katar.
At which point, anything living on Katar or connected to the wider universe, can very easily make their way here.”
He once again grins, but this time a red glow seems to dance among his razor sharp teeth.
“Earth is currently experiencing a rebirth, a new race to the top of the food chain, and in our generosity we have even opened one way portals across earth.
Offering a path to escape if the race for a new world ever gets too much for you or if heavens forbid, some species manages to dislodge humanity from their ‘throne’ any of you will be able to run through a gateway to find a probably, quick, cleanish, death on Katar, where the portals will lead directly to a monster infested region.
Good luck humans, try not to go extinct, oh, and one more thing, the global store is now available, a store filled with things beyond your wildest imaginations.
A place where we are generously willing to pick any new resources you happen to discover in exchange for goods that could turn you into gods!
Or at the very least be the difference between life, and death.
One final hint, if any of you want to make some real credits, in a world that’s primarily covered in water, where exactly do you think most of the mana will end up?” He gives a bow “The Nelka empire welcomes you to the intergalactic community!
Try not to die.” He says with a predatory grin, before disappearing into the clouds in a flash of red.
“Great, an alien take over, why is it always aliens? And not I don’t know, some breakthrough in technology or some unknown natural progression of the material plane, but no of course not, it’s just aliens, and the unending grind of capitalism.” Here’s to hoping this empire is ready for the hell, pissed off humans, who have magic, and an excuse to abandon even the illusion of morality that so many seem to hold onto.
I wonder what nightmares humanity is going to rain upon them, and how many innocent people?
Beings?
Are going to die all in the name of profit?

Mana backlash!
Maybe you know, don’t try to bite off more than you can chew or you might just end up killing yourself, before someone can collect that oh so sweet bounty 🙂 and make no mistake, if you hadn’t leveled you would be dead.
New Talent
I laugh In The Face of Death – You have escaped CERTAIN DEATH, or at least potential death due mana backlash three times.
Living only due to luck or the goodwill of another, and have now gained the amazing ability to sense mana.
Allowing you to actually estimate the costs of spells, before you try to will them into existence.
A skill most perspective mages typically learn long before they even begin casting spells, but hey good for you, going against the grain, and almost dying three times over the course of a single day.
I am sure that you have a super bright future 🙂
“Three times?” I say before dismissing the rest of the notifications with a shake of my head, and lean up.
The smell of blood hits me first, but my eyes quickly grow wide, as I take in the pools of blood, and the mangled torn apart bodies of three coyotes covered in bright blue fur.
Tier One Mana Infused Coyote – Scavenger, coward, these words no longer apply to this fierce hunter, who with their family will take what they want.
“What the hell happened to them, and how am I even alive?” Harvest (One mana per minute) The three bodies are wrapped in a glowing light, before they break apart into a fine swirling mist that slowly starts to stream into four new orbs, and something else plops onto the ground.
Something covered in bright red blood, and staring right at me.
Tier One Skeletal Honey Badger ‐ One of, if not the fiercest creatures on earth, at least on land, known to go toe to toe with lions, tigers, and bears oh my.
Capable of shrugging off 9mm rounds, all the while being less than three feet in size, and at most thirty five pounds, just now, slightly smaller, unburdened by pesky things like pain receptors, blood loss, and oh filled with mana, which I am sure will have no consequences at all, but hey at least it’s on your side… it is on your side, right?
“Aren’t you the cutest?
Moving skeletal creature thing…” The honey badger’s glowing blue eyes whirl, almost becoming a crimson blue, before fading back to bright blue “Fiercest creature around, are you sentient?”
It just keeps staring at me, while the last of the blood flakes off of its body, and streams into the blood orb “Righhhht, go stand over there” I point at a tree about a dozen feet away, it saunters over before turning, and then locks on to me, its glowing blue eyes following my every move.
“That’s totally not creepy at all, but hey it’s way better than some rotting creature.” I then notice the new floating crystal about the size of a half dollar, that has joined my orbs.
Tier One Arcane orb – An orb composed of a single tier one mana core.
Why does your mana regenerate, how does mana exist or even even function in your body at all?
Congratulations, you have discovered at least a part of the answer to this question, this lovely heart or well core really, and yes, there is one inside of every organism that is at least tier one, which yes does include humans, humans are in fact just like every other mana bearing beings, and not special little snowflakes, do with this information what you will.
“If every mana bearing creature holds a mana core, and there were three coyotes, why is there only one mana core? Notifications”

My body plops to the ground like a sack of potatoes, and I stare up into the puffy white cloud covered sky.
“And once again, I almost died.” A buzz of emptiness washes over me, a disconnect separating me from freaking out or really, feeling anything at all.
Anger, fear, or even happy to still be alive, nothing, none of these feelings make it through the empty void… Just another day in the life of Thomas Desmond, and while sure, almost dying three times in a single day certainly is a new experience.
Almost dying or potentially dying isn’t, after all every winter, if the nights were just a bit colder, if I just ran into the wrong person or was a bit slower to cross a street, or when hurricane winds decided to blow through, every gust of wind, every snapping branch could have been the one that finally brought down a tree upon me… hell when a branch did fall through my tent, smashing my cooler.
Did I cry about it?
No, I just pulled out the branch, sewed up the holes, and taped the damaged parts of the cooler.
(What difference would it really make?) Like a whisper the thought races through my mind, in response, I just close my eyes, and lay on the ground, slowly taking deep breaths.
My mind slowly grows empty or maybe really, the part of my mind that’s always capable of finding a distraction manages to wake up, and I latch onto the latest one, like it’s the only thing that can keep me from sinking.
A mystical store, the endless void of shopping, and a perfect way to avoid my problems, just like I always have…

Nelka Appraisal Spell – Free or rather for the low one time cost of an infusion of 200 mana, one shall receive a tome of the Nelka appraisal spell.
A spell capable of measuring the value of any tier 0 or above material or item, and can even be used to directly send items to the Nelka empire for a direct credit transfer (transfers cost mana, if mana can’t be covered by the individual, cost will come out of the sale credit, if the initial mana cost can not be afforded, the Nelka empire is willing to front the cost at a 2 to 1 ratio) items can still be sent to the marketplace, without appraisal, but vendors will see when no appraisals has been conducted, and any offers they make, particularly, with unknown resources will reflect that… The universe is a cold, cold, place, and any merchant worth their salt, will try to take you for everything that your worth, if you give them the chance (note, alternative appraisal spells can not be substituted, only the Nelka appraisal spell can be used to appraise goods for sale on the global market due to the fluctuation of prices between markets, much like how water can been seen as more valuable than gold, when one is in a desert. In other words Your local prices do NOT match the standard of the Nelka Empire)
My eyes grow wide locked onto one credit being worth a thousand dollars, with a base bounty rate of one thousand credits that means I have a hundred thousand dollar bounty on my head.
A bounty that’s going to double every single time I level, which means “A two hundred thousand dollar bounty.”
…
…
…
“Fuck! Okay, ok, but right now no one knows that I have access to blood magic or flesh magic.” Mana bursts from my body as the floating orbs begin stretching, wrapping around each other, and encircling each other.
The mana core forms the center, followed by a small pool of swirling blood, then a layer of gray flesh, and then it’s all enclosed behind a layer of bone pearly white bone.
Tier One Large Bone orb – A large thinnish bone orb about the size of a large beach ball, that seems like it’s hiding something inside of it.
0_o Something liquidy, and yet at the same time solid, whatever could it be?
Who knows, but you should probably crack it open to find out ⁰_⁰
“Well that’s not suspicious at all, now if only there was a way to make it smaller.” Mana Manipulation (one mana per minute)
Mana swirls out of my hands, wrapping around the bone orb, causing it to vibrate and shudder.
A wave of black mana pours out of me, as the orb slowly starts to shrink down, until it finally condenses down to the size of a marble.
Variation Discovered!
Condense – What came first, the chicken or the egg! oh wait we already did this bit… or rather how exactly does one raise an undead dragon if they find themselves in a world without dragons or beings made of a similar grade?
Well, if they don’t exactly feel like waiting the tens of thousands of years it would take for materials to naturally evolve, then!
They of course can just make the materials themselves!
At the low cost of loads of materials, and some mana.
(Mana cost is channeled, and higher tier materials cost more mana to manipulate)
Tier One Dense Bone Orb – Just a floating orb made up of tier one bone just squeezed down a bit, which is in no way suspicious at all, after all, totally normal upstanding citizens typically walk around with flying mysterious orbs made up of bone…Totally normal yup, totally.
“Great, now I’m just walking around with a one thousand credit bounty or a hundred thousand dollar bounty on my head, that’s umm, better right?” My eyes stop on the honey badger that’s still just staring at me.
Well, it’s not like money is going to have much value, at least for long, but until then, there’s really only one thing to do.
Embrace it, If I’m going to be a necromancer with a bounty on my head worth millions of dollars, I might as well go all out.
Due to formating issues this story doesn’t quite look the way it’s supposed to 0_o and you can read an updated version on Kobo, or other platforms. https://litrpgandpolitics.wordpress.com The story is also at around chapter 60 with around 400,000 words, and will posted once per day, until it’s caught up.
