Reincarnated in a Novel World

Chapter 25:?Barren World

But before that, I ordered Diablo and the skeletons to hunt nearby low-level monsters.

'Diablo, take all these skeletons with you and hunt all nearby creatures,' I instructed, receiving his prompt response, 'Yes, master.'

Entering the monster's lair for the undead extraction, I collected the carcasses of 200 E rank monsters, stored conveniently in my inventory thanks to the 'Auto Pick Up Auxiliary Function.'

Murmuring 'Undead Extraction,' I supplemented the undead energy instead of mana points.

Before long, prompts appeared before my eyes.

[World System]

[You have supplemented undead energy to the undead skeleton, instead of mana points]

[Undead Skeleton rank has been increased by one]

[Undead Extraction successfully activated]

[You can now name this monster]

[Named monsters have the potential to grow]

With four undead skeletons newly summoned, I decided to name them, expecting their ranks to soon rise.

Approaching them, I declared, 'From now on, your names shall be Big, Gold...'

An overwhelming surge of mana emanated from my body, causing me to collapse onto the ground, breathing heavily, as cocoons enveloped the skeletons.

After a few minutes...

Katch * Katcha

The cocoons began to break, revealing human-like appearances that bore no resemblance to skeletons.

Simultaneously, a prompt appeared from the World System.

[Ding...]

[A D rank monster has inherited a name]

[It has successfully evolved]

[It has gained the ego]

[It has achieved an A grade upgrade]

Approaching me for support, Gold said, 'Master.'

'You don't need to address me so formally,' I replied sonorously.

'Wait for some time,' I communicated telepathically to all the skeletons and requested Diablo and the others to join us.

'Yes, master,' came the prompt reply.

As they gathered, I introduced everyone to each other.

Diablo's perspective: 'Another skeleton stronger than me; I must become more powerful,' Diablo thought secretly, a resolute determination igniting within my eyes.

...

Sam, the fortunate lottery winner, resolved to hunt every monster.

10 hours later:

With relentless determination, we destroyed 50 F rank, 30 E rank, and 20 D rank monster lairs, making ample use of the undead extraction on various monster carcasses.

Upon clearing all these challenges, a string of prompts appeared before my eyes.

[Tower System]

[You have fulfilled a certain condition of the hidden mission]

[You have 14 hours remaining]

[Do you wish to return?]

[Yes/No]

Laughing secretly, I decided to click 'No,' firmly believing that only a fool would miss such an exceptional hunting ground.

After making my decision, a massacre ensued in the barren world.

...

Tower office:

Concerns were raised by a worker to the administrator about the situation in the barren world. 'Sir, what should we do?'

The administrator sighed, acknowledging that they might lose a bit of meat due to the ongoing events, but confident that they would gain more than they lose.

'Sir, it's against the tower's rule,' the concerned worker hesitated.

The worker's voices drew a chill that enveloped the office as the administrator responded coldly, 'Do as I say.'

'Yes, sir,' the worker replied fearfully.

'That should be the attitude of a worker and consider this your final warning.'

...

13 hours later:

In the barren world:

"Haaaha" The thunderous laughter reverberated, echoing through the surroundings, where only a group of 30 skeletons and one man could be seen amidst the air saturated with the stench of blood.

"That's quite a satisfying hunt," Sam expressed excitedly.

…

Chapter 22

April 4, 2600

8:00 a.m.

Sam's villa

In the room, a boy teleported and excitedly murmured, "My talent is finally going to be complete."

30 minutes later

"It's done," I said as I got ready in my school uniform.

However, what I didn't notice was the eerie silence surrounding the villa.

Federation School

Class Xth

"Fatty, Su Yanran didn't come to school today," I asked, perplexed, as she was never absent from class.

"Boss, you don't know anything?" Wang Feng was surprised at Sam's response.

"What don't I know?" I said, bewildered.

"Nothing, the class teacher will explain everything," Wang Feng sighed.

Soon, the class teacher entered Class Xth.

"Silence."

"Hello, everyone. You should already know about the incident that happened in the F-grade goblin dungeon," the class teacher asked.

"Yes, sir," the students replied in unison, having watched the news.

"Boss, now do you know?" Fatty murmured.

"I already know about this," Sam said, then hesitated. "Did something happen to Su Yanran?"

"Yeah, boss, now you're catching on," Fatty sighed.

I cursed at his dramatics and asked, "Hey Fatty, tell me quickly, what happened to her?"
