How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

What I learned through several days of data research is that this is the Earth I know.

From the name of the president to the name of the region, there is a map of the world, and so on.

However, the difference is that gates, monsters, and awakeners exist.

It seems like something was twisted in the process of causality, but that’s not what’s important right now.

“Sir.”

The important thing is that my plans for a luxurious retirement with money were completely ruined.

“The balance is… 120,000 won.”

If you sell the gold and jewels attached to the robe you are wearing, there will be no problem for a while, but if you endure with that, how long will you last?

“I need money.”

You need to get a stable source of income, or pull in a lump sum at once.

I said with a blank expression.

“Do I have to worry about making a living after I return here? At this age?”

Just imagining it makes my hamstrings go numb and go crazy.

“How to make money quickly and easily.”

I muttered after thinking for a while.

“gate. Awakener.”

Gates are divided into normal gates and unstable gates depending on when the monster is vomited.

After spawning, if you vomit monsters with a margin of about a week to a month, it will be a normal gate. And as I saw last time, if you vomit monsters as soon as they appear, it’s an unstable gate.

In any case, unstable gates are out of the question because they have a low probability of creation and are usually handled by emergency response teams who are always on standby, and the place where ordinary awakeners are mainly active is the normal gate.

An Awakener who hunts as many monsters as possible before reaching a critical point where the gate disappears and sells the by-products obtained from the corpses of monsters to make a lot of money.

“The income is high, and I can use my magic skills.”

Clearly, there is no better option than this in the current situation.

but.

I said with a drooping face.

“do not want to do it······.”

Since then, he has been a necromancer who has led hundreds of thousands of undead legions in Seron and reigned as a byword for fear.

Of course, limbs are all around me, so I was able to solve everything with a single click of a finger. Suddenly, I was told to make a living by hunting monsters myself and selling their corpses?

“Does that make sense at this time!”

I came to retire to Earth with money because I didn’t want to see battlefields and corpses, but I had to earn money more desperately than Seron.

I can’t tolerate my pride and annoyance.

“Should I make an undead and carry it on my back and let it hunt on its own?”

Of course, that’s not easy either.

People think that necromancers only dispatch the undead and play around in the back, but this is a nonsense.

In the first place, the undead are just puppets without intelligence that are made to move with magical power using the residual morale left in the corpse.

Of course, the necromancer directs these intellectless puppets to move and fight.

Therefore, the greater the number of controls, the greater the burden on the Necromancer, and there was a limit to the number of undead that each Necromancer could control according to their individual capabilities.

So they couldn’t always be the main characters of the Seron continent.

At that time, I was the one who broke that limit in my own creative way and led hundreds of thousands of undead armies, but it was never easy to recreate an undead legion from the ground up.

Of course, even so, it was much less annoying to have the undead than hunting around myself.

“okay. You can’t come to retirement and do something you didn’t do at Cerrone! Go undead!”

Although it would take a lot of work to rebuild it, anyway, it would make my retirement fund very comfortable.

But after making that decision, one thing bothers me.

“Will people accept the undead?”

In Seron, necromancers were an object of hatred.

Maybe that’s why even I, a warrior, was neglected and ignored by people.

“Mmm.”

I thought about it for a while, then got up from my seat and said.

“If you think about it, it’s a waste of time. Let’s just bump into it.”

There were all kinds of abilities, what would happen if one more undead was added to them?

Of course it may not be, but you can think about it at that time.

“Let’s make a retirement fund!”

*

Awoken registration is required to legally enter the gate.

That is why the registration office that I arrived at with a half-doubt, wondering if people would accept it…

“Oh oh!”

“Is this new again?”

It was accepted surprisingly easily.

Since it’s not a general ability, I went to a simple lab and got a separate test, but the researchers said they needed monster bones, so they got them right away, and when I made a skeleton like that, they were amazed and kept asking me questions.

“Can you move?”

“Can I show you?”

When I conveyed my will through magic, the skeleton started walking forward.

“Hey!”

“It’s the first time I’ve ever had a summon series like this.”

ah.

Is there such a thing as a summoning system?

I approached the researcher and said.

“Do you have similar abilities?”

“Um… It’s a bit different from this one, but it has the ability to make golems out of soil or stone or soldiers out of water.”

Summon Golem?

soldiers with water?

I thought with an interesting expression.

‘Is there something similar to magic?’

At the same time, I could immediately understand why the researchers took it so easily.

Golem summoning was an elemental magic, and the soldiers made from water were probably similar to elemental magic.

And here comes a crucial difference from Seron.

‘The classification method is completely different.’

In Seron, golem summoning under the Elemental category, and water spirits under the Elemental category are vertically classified in this way.

However, on Earth, whether it’s a golem summoning technique or a water spirit, both of them summon something that can do battle on behalf of the caster, so they just dismissed everything as a summoning system and made a horizontal sequence.

In other words, my skeleton is not part of the necromancer class, but is classified as a kind of summoning class, such as golem summoning.

‘It’s nice, I don’t have to bother explaining.’

Then the researcher looked at me and said.

“What is the maximum number of summons? Do I have to keep taking him with me once I summon him? What about durability and combat power?”

Too many questions are annoying, but I still have to put the first button well.

From nob le mtl dot com

My goal is to quietly earn money and retire.

“First of all, I don’t know the maximum number of summons. And after summoning…”

A sub-space created when I stretched out my hand.

And the skeleton is sucked into the subspace as it is.

“You can keep it like this.”

“Oh oh!”

“Could you put something else in?”

“I can’t.”

You can put anything inanimate, but it’s annoying, so let’s skip it.

“is it so?”

However, the researcher puts the pen in his hand into the entrance of the subspace as soon as I finish my words to see if the suspicion is passive.

But it doesn’t matter.

Because nothing I reject can enter subspace.

Naturally, the researcher’s hand came out through the subspace entrance with a pen.

“Really.”

“Just trust me.”

“There are so many people who want to cheat. hahahaha. sorry.”

“···Is that so?”

Anyway, it seems to have gone well… what was the last question?

ah. Endurance and combat power.

When I waved my hand again, a skeleton popped out of subspace.

“Did you mention combat power?”

“yes.”

“Try hitting it.”

Then, the researcher brought a club with her eyes shining and said,

“Then don’t hesitate…”

Just as the researcher was about to make a full swing, I absorbed the morale injected into the skeleton.

to look as weak as possible.

Then, the skeleton was shattered in an instant after being hit by the researcher’s club.

“ah······.”

The researcher said with a sad expression.

“It’s a bit weak.”

“I know.”

The researcher looked down at the skeleton wreckage for a while and said.

“I think this is enough for testing. Let’s talk to each other in the conference room for a while.”

The researchers rushed into the meeting room like that.

I looked at him and said quietly.

“Hearing enhancement.”

In other words, basic magic that does not strengthen hearing, but transmits sound waves from a specific location to my ears.

As he cast the magic, he began to hear the researchers’ conversations.

– Something new and fresh.

-Iknow, right.

-But the ability is a bit ambiguous. It’s durability is weak, and its combat power isn’t much to look at. No matter how many bones there are, it seems difficult to do with one Awoken person.

If you look down on me, thank you.

– A rare but obscure ability. Wouldn’t an F grade be appropriate?

– I agree. Let’s do F grade.

F-class is the lowest Awakened class.

But it doesn’t matter.

I need qualifications to enter the gate legally, I don’t care about rank.

The researchers who came out of the meeting like that said.

“As a result of the examination, it was judged as F grade. Don’t be too disappointed, there are quite a few people who started with F rank and went up to a higher rank.”

what is disappointment

“Also, summoning in the city is prohibited, so be careful.”

It doesn’t matter either.

“Then go out and tell the front desk your name, and they will issue it right away.”

good.

Now I am an Awakener who can legally catch monsters and earn money.

“thank you.”

So… then, shall we make some money?

*

In the test, I used magic to inject my will into the skeleton and make it move.

And this is the typical way Necromancers control the undead.

However, its limits were clear.

Because the human mind and magical power are never infinite.

In other words, there was a limit to the number of heads that could be summoned and maintained.

So, the method I devised was…

“good.”

The skeletons, which I made by imbuing the bones I had obtained from hunting with plenty of magic, listened to my command and started attacking the three monsters according to the pre-injected method of fighting monsters.

“see······.”

I said while carefully analyzing the battle between the monster and the skeleton.

“The defense at the bottom is sluggish and awkward. This needs some patching.”

But then, the monster suddenly spits green spit at the skeleton.

Then, without any avoidance reaction, the skeleton’s bones covered with green saliva were slowly corroded.

“Are you attacking like that?”

I raised my hand and created a magic circle.

“The green spit dodges 6 times.”

Evasion 6 was a command to evade backwards when the enemy did a specific action.

“If 6 dodge is interrupted, 7 dodge, then 8 dodge. If that gets in the way, stop it with 11 blocks.”

Try to evade once, and if evasion is impossible due to the surrounding environment, connect block 11 with one arm.

“In a situation where it is impossible to block 11 times, attack 17 times… and then…”

After injecting commands one after another and injecting magic power into the magic circle, the magic circle fades and melts into the skeletons.

Then, from then on, the skeletons began to move organically, responding appropriately to the green spittle that the monster spat out.

“Looks like it’s over.”

I said with a sigh.

“under. bothered.”

This was my own ingenious way to command an enormous undead army.

Unlike normal necromancers controlling the undead by conveying their will through magic, I injected magic commands into the undead so that they could move on their own in a specific situation, and put it in a macro.

In this way, there is no need to convey will to each individual object, and it moves according to specific conditions on its own, so the burden of maintenance is overwhelmingly reduced.

Of course, the process was never easy.

“I never thought I would do this again.”

At first, let alone combat, it was literally full of flaws, such as bugs caused by confusion in commands and being destroyed by itself.

However, just as the green spit response method was injected, the final product created through patch after patch for decades was a macro that was able to respond to almost any situation, even a pincer attack, and was close to perfect.

Of course, it was a problem that the amount of mana required to create one undead was extremely high in proportion to the amount of commands, but instead, the level of mana and mental consumption required to maintain was almost non-existent.

In other words, the initial production is expensive, but the maintenance cost is almost non-existent, so once you make it, maintenance is to lie down and eat rice cakes.

But the problem is that the macro I completed over the course of decades was completely blown away along with the undead army.

“sh*t. If it was left even for backup…”

Even though I’m a producer, there’s no way I’m memorizing all the complex driving commands and organically intertwined algorithms I’ve made over decades.

So, originally, at least one of the created objects was put in a subspace, taken out if necessary, and the injected magic command was copied and inserted into another object.

Fortunately, I had the time I had been working on, so I made it on the spot to make it worth watching to some extent, but considering the original, it’s still not enough.

“I still have to do it. Once you make it roughly, it’s convenient after that.”

Let’s work a little harder for a comfortable retirement.

At that time, the skeletons that dealt with the monster lifted the monster and lined up around me again.

I checked the time and sighed.

“I’ve been hunting for 4 hours already.”

In fact, for me, who has touched corpses and moved around battlefields for decades, this much is nothing.

There were times when I survived a battle without eating for days and days.

However, this is not Seron, but the Earth I came to for retirement.

The fact that I have to do work on such an earth makes me exhausted.

“Shall we stop today?”

I said with a tired expression.

“Let’s go back.”

*

When I went out with the skeletons like that, a merchant ran up to me and said.

“lol. Are you here?”

At first, I thought about taking it to the by-product market and selling it myself, but I can’t do such a troublesome thing again as I’m bothered by everything.

So I picked a small merchant and asked him to go on a business trip.

From nob le mtl dot com

Merchants are good because they can buy by-products at a low price, and I, who have already reached the limit of work, can quickly go back to rest, so this is a win-win.

“Put it down.”

At my words, when the skeletons put down the by-products, the merchant said with a tearing laugh.

“oh my. You caught a lot today.”

“I didn’t touch it, so I don’t need to check it. Please give me a rough estimate.”

“I want to know whether or not.”

Since I’ve traded several times and never joked about it, the merchant quickly calculates the type of monster and the number of corpses and pays the money right there.

“It’s a total of 2 million won after tax.”

I, who had trillions of money in subspace, had to do this to earn only 2 million won.

I hate to work even more for that shabby amount.

“Please put it in.”

“yes. Then I’ll pay you right away.”

While the merchant manipulated his cell phone to transfer money, I sighed and thought.

‘ha. There are nine thousand lines to go.’

The reason why I dared to get a low grade and go in and out of the lowest gate was simple.

If you get a high grade, you’ll get noticed and it’ll be annoying, and since it’s difficult to create undead that can compete with higher-ranking monsters, I’d rather make undead optimized for lower gates to make money comfortably.

‘Let’s hold on for the first time. I just need to make a good macro.’

Once the macro is completed, the undead will go around and catch monsters, and I will sit back and earn money comfortably.

At that time, when I was clamoring for myself, I heard conversations about me around me.

“Is that person?”

“uh.”

Unlike the summoning class, which can’t summon more than a few, I have to bring at least 10 skeletons with me, so I can’t help but stand out.

“Isn’t the number of pages a joke?”

“On the contrary, he said he was very weak.”

“I guess so. That’s why I shouldn’t have gotten an F grade.”

Talking or not, I don’t care.

For me, who has received many people’s fear and disgust mixed gazes in public, this level is rather like a good feeling.

But then.

“Anyway, it would be nice if there were a lot of summons so we could save porter fees.”

“That’s right.”

“Honestly, isn’t 30,000 won an hour too expensive?”

At those words, I slowly turned my head toward that direction with a firm expression on my face.

“…30,000 won?”

The complex terrain of the gate made it difficult to pull even a cart, so I heard that a porter was used to bring monster by-products.

But the cost is 30,000 won per hour?

‘wait for a sec. Couriers don’t have to fight directly. Wouldn’t it be fine to just carry it well and follow it around and quietly avoid nearby areas only when fighting?’

An undead that neither eats nor complains.

Where else is there a more perfect and better porter than this?

Besides, if it was just carrying luggage around, the required magic commands and algorithms would be overwhelmingly less and simpler than those for combat.

Then the Awoken shook his head and said.

“It’s called risk pay, but honestly, how much does it cost if there are deaths at such a low-level gate?”

“therefore. Then would you like to go and ask? Do you want to do it together?”

“Hey man, I didn’t say you were with the summoning class. My hands and feet don’t fit, my hands and feet.”

porter.

30,000 won per hour.

Instantly tapping the calculator in my head, I walked towards them and said,

“excuse me.”

“uh?”

“Did you just say porters?”

Then the awakened people said with a puzzled expression.

“Hey, have you heard? sorry. Just during a conversation between us…”

“No, that doesn’t matter, did you get a porter by any chance?”

“yes? I was just trying to find it, but…”

At that, I pointed to the skeletons lined up behind me and said.

“Are you thinking of trying out a new porter? I thought I’d give it away for free just this time as an opening event.”
