"World destruction…"
"Rebirth…"
Only after a long while did Su Mu awaken from the tragic emotions of witnessing the world's destruction in his past life.
Since he was here, he might as well make the most of it.
Now that he had become a Skeleton in the game world, he would live his life well as one.
Su Mu didn't know whether the real world would truly be destroyed ten years later as he had speculated. All he knew was that the greatest crisis he now faced was the arrival of the players in three months!
The Fourth Calamity was not just an empty name.
Once the players arrived, all monsters would become targets to be wiped out.
Let alone him—just a lowly Little Skeleton at the bottom of the Undead race—even high-tier Undead like the Skeleton King, Death Knight, Lich, or Spectral Queen would likely be unable to withstand the onslaught of thousands of players!
Level Up!
Advance!
Only by becoming strong enough within these three months could he have a future; and only by growing powerful enough to rival the gods… could he even begin to consider the catastrophe that would come ten years from now!
…
…
To grow from a mere Little Skeleton at the lowest tier of the Undead to a being strong enough to face the coming players was a near-impossible challenge, even for Su Mu, who had ten years of experience in the game from his previous life.
Fortunately, heaven never seals off all paths.
Back when he first checked his attribute panel, Su Mu had already found the key to his future growth—
Talent!
In Second World, Talents generally referred to racial talents.
For instance, the Elves possessed an affinity with nature, allowing them to communicate with flora and hide within forests easily.
The Dwarves had a forging talent, enabling them to craft high-quality equipment more easily.
The Orcs had a Berserk talent, granting them fearsome power once they reached a certain rank…
And so on.
These types of racially shared talents were quite common.
In fact, with the exception of humans and Undead who had fallen from other races, most races in Second World had their own racial talents.
Individual talents, however, were different.
Aside from a few utterly useless ones, most individual talents signified great potential.
Whether one could turn that potential into true power and achieve growth largely depended on whether they could fully utilize their talent!
Unique Talent—Erosion!
Su Mu didn't know where this talent had come from.
Perhaps it was because his soul had mutated after transforming from a player into a monster.
Or perhaps it was a gift from the world in response to his return from ten years in the future…
All he knew was that this Unique Talent was his only hope of becoming stronger!
"Unfortunately…"
"There's no description for this Talent in the attribute panel."
"I'll have to figure out what the Erosion talent actually does on my own."
Letting out a sigh, Su Mu lifted his gaze and looked into the distance.
This place was Bone Burial Ground.
As a gathering site of the Skeleton Clan, it was only natural that Su Mu wasn't the only Skeleton here.
He had reincarnated at the outskirts of the Bone Burial Ground, where the weaker Skeletons roamed.
Deeper within the burial grounds, where the death aura was stronger, more powerful Skeletons had been spawned.
In fact—
In the core region of the Bone Burial Ground, there were even mid- and high-tier Undead like Skeleton Warriors, Horror Mages, Bone Knights, and Death Knights.
This was only a starting point.
…
…
Crack.
Crack.
With a faint clatter, Su Mu began to move.
From a real-world player to a game-world Skeleton, aside from feeling lighter when he walked, he didn't feel particularly uncomfortable.
Even his vision was hardly any different from when he was still a player.
After taking a few steps and adapting to his current body, Su Mu picked up a femur from the skeletal remains scattered across the ground.
He began moving toward another nearby Skeleton.
He was hunting.
To evolve from a base-level Skeleton to a mid- or even high-tier Undead, hunting was essential.
And in the Bone Burial Ground, there was no more suitable prey than the countless Skeletons wandering around.
Su Mu slowly closed in.
The Skeleton he had set his sights on stood blankly in place.
As a lowest-tier Skeleton, it had no memory or awareness.
Unless it sensed the presence of the living and attacked instinctively, it would only fight back if attacked.
Which made it even easier for Su Mu to hunt.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
When he was less than half a meter away, Su Mu raised the femur in his hand and, using all his strength, smashed it down onto the Skeleton's skull!
Crack!
A crisp sound echoed out!
The femur in Su Mu's hand snapped in two, and the Skeleton's skull shattered on impact.
Without its head, the Skeleton's gray-white frame trembled and then collapsed into a pile of scattered bones.
"You have slain 'Weak Skeleton'."
"You gained 10 Experience Points."
As the Skeleton fell, two lines of information popped up in Su Mu's attribute panel.
Thanks to the Monster Template, Su Mu didn't need to personally devour the slain Skeleton's Soul Flame, which represented its essence.
Instead, the Soul Flame automatically transformed into Experience Points and merged into his body.
"Killing a lowest-tier Skeleton grants 10 EXP."
"That means I need to kill nine more to reach Level 2."
"Not bad."
"But…"
As he glanced at the new info on his panel, Su Mu felt a bit uneasy.
Because after killing the Skeleton, he clearly felt that the pile of bones it left behind was calling to him.
"Could it be… turning into a Skeleton has given me some bizarre fetish?"
Conflicted, He ultimately couldn't resist the strange craving and slowly crouched down—
