Chapter 113: Necromancer(1)

The Politburo Standing Committee.

The highest organ of power and decision-making in China. A total of seven standing committee mbers gathered there.

To discuss the world’s first SS-rank Achievent Awakener.

“What about his background?”

“There seems to be no problem in accepting him as a mber of our Communist Party.”

At those words, President Li Zemin nodded in satisfaction.

“That’s fortunate. We can put him in the Nine Dragons Guild.”

The era of Awakeners.

Superhumans were a force that shook the existing power base.

Especially in a one-party dictatorship like China, they were no different from dangerous poison.

But it was impossible to go against the flow of the world.

Therefore, China was fostering private guilds, and the governnt was also fostering guilds separately.

Guilds that were no different from secret governnt-owned enterprises.

They were generously showering all kinds of benefits on patriotic guilds. China’s No. 1 guild, the Nine Dragons Guild, was a typical example of this.

All of them were made up of the children of high-ranking officials of the Chinese Communist Party, and only those whose loyalty and ideology had been thoroughly verified were accepted into the guild.

If you were an SS-rank Awakener, you had the qualifications to enter the Dragon Guild.

“So, as for Liang Xiaojun, has he decided on his occupation?”

“How could that be? He is solely waiting for your command, President.”

“Hmm.”

President Li nodded as if satisfied.

Despite being an SS-rank Awakener, he knew how to be humble.

Of course, he would need to observe a bit more, but he seed worth the investnt.

He examined the information on Liang Xiaojun in the docunt.

There was a note attached stating that he was skilled with a sword.

‘But he doesn’t seem exceptionally outstanding.’

—It seems like it could work well in the upper ranks, but it seems like there will be limitations in the highest ranks.

It was a result gathered by analysts of awakened forces within China, so there was no doubt about it.

‘Then it would be a bit vague to make him a swordsman, wouldn’t it?’

He could cover his skills to so extent with his achievents.

But no matter how much of an SS-rank achievent it was, it didn’t seem like he would be able to catch a monster like Korea’s Sword Saint.

“Occupation, occupation…”

The President pondered seriously.

Then he spoke with a solemn voice.

“I’m very concerned about Korea these days. Both Kim Minwoo and Ilsung. Their growth rate is very unusual. Don’t you all think so?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

“Suddenly, I have this thought. What if that Kim Minwoo guy was actually an SS-rank Achievent Awakener?”

The committee mbers nodded.

Previously, they thought he was just a sowhat exceptional S-rank But the consecutive behaviors he showed couldn’t be explained solely by that.

“As the President says, I certainly have my doubts.”

“If he’s SS-rank, then all the actions he has shown so far can be explained.”

The difference between A-rank and S-rank skills was enormous.

Not to ntion S and SS, the difference would be even greater.

Two incredibly strong summons and overwhelming numbers could all be explained.

“What if we made this Liang Xiaojun a Necromancer?”

“A Necromancer, you say?”

The committee mbers pondered the President’s words carefully.

Necromancer developnt was one of the things that many countries had tried in the past.

A one-man army that summons and controls countless undead.

If properly nurtured, it would beco a powerful weapon for conquering Gates.

Naturally, China had also attempted it.

And, they realized nurous problems.

While other Awakeners could beco stronger with 10 billion, Necromancers needed 100 billion to beco powerful.

And even then, their strength didn’t necessarily surpass that of a 10 billion Awakener.

Summons?

One attack from a 10 billion Awakener would kill them all.

Even if the summons were Liches and Death Knights, the problem remained.

Even if they poured money into setting them up, they would be lucky to summon one or two.

In the end, they would be defeated by a high-level 10 billion Awakener.

Then was the Necromancer himself strong?

Without summons, they were rely relegated to a supporting role.

And if they invested trillions, would they really beco that strong?

There were many questions about this as well.

Growth did not occur quantitatively in proportion to the money poured in.

That’s why many countries tried it and then spat it out.

China was the sa.

Originally, this shouldn’t even be a matter for consideration.

But Kim Minwoo’s performance was too shocking.

So much so that they wondered if there was so unknown potential in Necromancers.

Seeing the silent committee mbers, the President spoke.

“Think about it. Didn’t our Chinese think tank analyze it? The higher the achievent, the more advantageous it would be for a Necromancer.”

The committee mbers nodded.

Kim Minwoo and Seo Yerim.

After those two conquered the A rank Gate, China hadn’t just been idly watching.

The best think tanks of the ti had gathered and analyzed Necromancers like lice.

The key point was simple.

– A profession that becos stronger with investnt.

– It was estimated that Kim Minwoo had invested tens of trillions so far. anwhile, other Necromancers had only invested a few hundred billion at most….

– The higher the achievent rank, the more unimaginable the synergy can be. There could be skills that encompass all summons.

– However, it was questionable whether this could really be seen as S-rank. The possibility of achievents beyond that could not be ruled out…

The reason Kim Minwoo was strong?

Because he was a re individual who invested like crazy in an amount that even a country wouldn’t invest.

And on top of that, was this guy perhaps higher than S-rank?

That was the content of the think tank’s analysis.

Back then, even the President and the committee mbers couldn’t be sure if it was true.

An achievent higher than S-rank.

They wondered if such a thing really existed.

It wasn’t 0%, but they didn’t think the probability was high either.

But now it was different.

SS-rank really did exist.

What if Kim Minwoo had achieved SS-rank achievent just one step ahead?

It wouldn’t be strange for him to have shown such a performance.

The President’s eyes beca serious.

“SS-rank achievents are indeed rare. But, we should try experinting at least once, shouldn’t we?”

“Um… The President is right. We can’t underestimate the potential of Necromancers.”

Moreover, Kim Minwoo was just an individual.

On the other hand, this was China itself.

If they set their minds to it, they would simply spend trillions.

What if Liang Xiaojun, who grew up like that, surpassed Kim Minwoo?

‘Korea in despair.’

‘The picture would be beautiful.’

‘I heard this guy uses a sword too.’

The concept was quite similar.

The achievent ratings are also the sa.

And if the investnt was even greater, there was no reason for China’s hope, Liang Xiaojun, to lose.

The variable is only the swordsmanship.

‘It’s not like that Kim Minwoo guy is so kind of Sword Saint.’

He may have thrived in the lower levels, but in the higher levels, you have to stick to your main job to survive.

As ti passed, it was obvious that Liang Xiaojun’s montum would diminish like a candle extinguished in front of the pursuit.

Moreover, it’s China, a populous country.

The conviction that SS-rank achievents wouldn’t end with this one also reduced the burden.

“Necromancer, very good. Making him a swordsman or a mage wouldn’t have any impact. I am once again amazed by the President’s insight.”

“Haha. You flatter . Then, let’s have Liang Xiaojun as a Necromancer. Let’s set a new record for China this ti.”

It would be a beautiful sight to see Kim Minwoo’s records broken one by one.

The President and the committee mbers’ eyes sparkled.

* * *

Ilsung Guild education.

Seo Yerim and Park Siwoo readily agreed. Naturally, a relieved smile appeared on Nam Cheolmin’s face.

“Thank you very much.”

“We should help each other out. When the ti cos that we need help than the Ilsung Guild could also help…”

“Of course, then our Ilsung Guild will step forward.”

After the heartwarming conversation ended.

Nam Cheolmin, who was looking at his vibrating phone, chuckled and asked.

“Have you seen this news? They say an SS-rank Awakener has appeared in China…”

“I saw it a little while ago too. It’s interesting. They’re choosing a Necromancer of all things.”

“…Are you okay? Seeing that the Chinese governnt officially announced it, it seems like it’s real…”

Nam Cheolmin’s face was filled with worry.

The first appearance of an SS-rank Awakener in China. But why choose such an unconventional profession like Necromancer?

This was clearly aid at Kim Minwoo, wasn’t it? And with such a flashy debut, it was highly likely that the Chinese governnt would fully support him.

“I’m grateful if they choose Necromancer.”

Kim Minwoo said with a grin.

The appearance of SS-rank.

He had half expected it anyway.

If humanity’s potential had increased, then higher-grade Awakening achievents could also appear.

‘Since it’s co to this, I hope they invest a lot.’

Korea, China, Japan.

The three countries were in a fierce competition.

A relationship where one side falls and the other side smiles.

The more he grew, the more other countries would start to move. All sorts of conspiracies and sches would be rampant.

In such a situation, one of the most troubleso countries, China, was doing this nonsense?

‘Thank you very much.’

Wasting money.

Wasting a decent Awakener.

It was sothing that could weaken China’s power.

There was nothing to lose.

‘Since it’s co to this, I hope that Necromancer over there does well.’

China had willingly taken the lead.

If the Chinese Necromancer perford well here, would other Awakened countries just sit still?

Even their neighboring country, Japan, would start to fidget.

The Korean Necromancer and the Chinese Necromancer were doing well, but could Japan endure it?

‘They can’t, can they?’

Necromancer.

This was Pandora’s Box.

China was the first to open it, unable to resist. Now, many countries around the world would start to touch the box’s handle.

‘The more that happens, the more my value will rise.’

At that mont.

● You are the one who ‘opened the horizon of humanity’!

● You perceive the changes in the world!

● You have caused a powerful nation to choose an option they wouldn’t normally have!

● The story is starting to change!

● 50 achievent points are awarded!

● You own an achievent vending machine! The points are doubled…

“Oh?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Suddenly, sothing good happened.”

“Uh… congratulations?”

“Thank you.”

“Then I’ll be on my way.”

Nam Cheolmin awkwardly offered his congratulations and left the room.

At that mont.

An uncontrollable smile appeared on Kim Minwoo’s lips.

He never imagined he could earn points this way.

What a windfall this was!

Soon, breaking news started popping up in the news section.

[(Breaking News) The world’s first SS-rank Achievent Awakener officially appears in China! Class confird as Necromancer!]

[Following Kim Minwoo? SS-rank Necromancer Liang Xiaojun announces the conquest of F-rank Gate ‘Ratman’s Sewer’ in 3 days!]

[The difficulty score of Ratman’s Sewer is 93 points…]

‘They really chose Necromancer.’

They chose an option they wouldn’t normally choose.

He understood the aning of this right away.

China, which had changed its career to a Ddong Solliar.

Thanks to that, achievent points rolled in for free.

Kim Minwoo looked at the article with a serious face.

‘Surely he won’t die there, will he?’

He had been rooting for him from the beginning, but now he was even more desperate.

What if the Liang Xiaojun ship capsized before it even set sail?

‘No. Other countries will all run away.’

China would beco the biggest fool, and the neighbors who were trying to open Pandora’s Box would run away.

That couldn’t happen.

The great powers had to all choose Necromancers for the achievent points to be duplicated.

‘If he takes potions, enhances his skills to 9, and equips himself… there’s a possibility.’

He had cleared it in 2 hours and used the remaining 38 hours to find hidden piece hints, but…

It would be too harsh to ask Liang Xiaojun, an SS-rank rookie, to clear it in 2 hours.

‘Isabella took two days.’

The best thing would be to clear it faster than Isabella. That way, other places would also have their eyes on Necromancers.

‘Well, it seems a bit tough…’

In Korea, he was being ridiculed as a ‘baguette martial artist,’ ‘goat,’ and ‘bubble.’

But that didn’t an Isabella was an easy Awakener.

‘She’s the real deal.’

She was good at fighting like a beast.

She had been a monster since the ti when achievents were limited to S-rank.

The reason she was being mocked was because he was even more of a monster.

On the other hand, Liang Xiaojun…

‘I’ve heard of him.’

He was one of the Chinese S-rank swordsn, wasn’t he?

His swordsmanship was slightly inferior to Seo Yerim’s.

Even with that level of skill, he was known as a swordsman ranked within the top 40 in China.

But in this 6th stage, he was suddenly forced to change to a Necromancer.

From using a sword to having an SS-rank achievent.

It seed like they forced him to change classes with the intention of copying him.

‘It’ll be hard to beat Isabella, won’t it?’

Current world-ranked Awakener’s level 49 record VS level 1 Chinese scrub swordsman SS-rank Necromancer skills.

It was a matchup that made one’s heart swell.

Even with the power of SS-rank skills, the best he could do was be slightly faster or slower than Isabella.

That’s roughly how it seed.

“Good luck, Liang Xiaojun.”

He left a ssage of encouragent for him.

He hoped he would at least beat Isabella.

‘If this guy makes a great leap forward.’

On top of that, if he won first place in the Super Rookie Tournant, there might be a Necromancer craze. Trends usually spread like wildfire in an instant, don’t they?

‘I need to stir up the wind.’

It seed like he needed to start moving in earnest so that the whole world could get drunk on the Necromancer craze.
