Awakening he found a loaf of black bread and a canister of water in the corner of one room . Thus Mike decided to name this corner the food corner .


    After eating Mike moved towards the library-book in search for more information .


    Since there are much more questions left open after this first spell . For example is the path of necromancer even considered strong ? Is this normal that the minions has strength compared to a little child ? Or does the problem come from him ?


    Not only that , there are still general questions about magicians left open . Is it possible for him to fight others even if he only has a useless minion ?


    Sighing over the amount of missing Informations Mike started to read . First of all the most important stuff , is the path of a necromancer useless ? After all it is the branch that the "indicator" deemed as his branch , it sounds powers to control corpses of his enemy . But it doesn''t sound so useful in peaceful situations .


    Besides he read a few articles about the strength of other Dark branches and it seems that they have quite the amount of diversity . First of all every other branch is able to heal themself and other people in some kind of way , which surprised Mike . Poison branch could fight poison with poison , blood branch could transfer or absorb blood and stamina absorption is self explanatory .


    Though not only 4 Dark Element branches exists , these four are the most common in the history of Lion Kingdom .


    Opening the book he searched for the most important point to him : Is Necromancer a branch with future ?


    If there are any major weakness like transforming into one of the most famous undead magicians , the Lich , Mike would rather avoid following the occupation and change to another dark branch . Naturally , Mike would also want to change if he discovers that necromancer is the weakest branch .


    Browsing through the books Mike realized something , the book which he used to read the books in the library is in no way controlled by any force or monitored by any person . Instead it is only a tool used for a library . Appearently only the Admins of the library would be able to have one of such tools .


    How did he realized it ? Easy , only a single symbol appeared on the cover of the book and there is not second symbol on the column .


    That means that there is only one connection , not a second controlling connection .


    After using the information he read in a successful way Mike looked excited , privacy , food and the chance of getting stronger ? Everything he hoped !


    Starting to read a memory Diary of a criminal Dark Magicians , Mike felt suspicious , do i truly have privacy ?


    But he quickly threw the suspicion away , who cares anyway ?


    "Two Years after i left the Ivory tower in search for the answer of the necromance branch i got the necessary information . From now on we won''t be labeled as the weird corpse collectors or the people who control Spirit Force puppets , instead we will be labeled as true necromancers . "


    Thinking for a while Mike agreed , the summon minion spell is nothing more than to create your own Spirit Force pupped in the shape of a skeleton and control it .


    "In Peaceful times there is no way for us necromancers to become strong , we need to gather corpses of strong warriors to summon our hate warriors , skeleton knights or even the feared death knights . Compared to other Members of the Dark Element we are like collectors , always in search of a better piece of art . IT''S PATHETIC ! "


    Frowning about that fact that this describes pretty much how Mike viewed the Necromancer branch he flipped the page .


    But what awaited him caused him to fell into rage , the rest of the paged seemed to not make any sense .


    Flip , flip , flip , flip , flip ......


    Searching for the part where the memory seemed to work again he frowned .


    "Two Light Magicians and a group of Paladins appeared . Probably all of them at higher rank than me , a novice magician ! I waited for them in my hall as they dashed in and yelled at me that i will punished for the crime of killing innocent people . But i only laughed , didn''t these fools kill people as well ? Not only that , they only obey a force which they believe is "Justice" . "


    Flip .


    "I summoned an group of Hate Warriors as they looked at me in fear . But i understimated them , its absurd how many kingdom heroe''s corpses i would had to collect . After that the entire group of paladins charged at them without even caring of the wounds inflicted at them . They didn''t even resisted , but soon i got to know why . All of them exploded in a holy radiance and took the death knights with them . Fear eveloped me as the two magicians summoned casted Light Cage to trap me ."


    The Diary ended here , with Mikes disappointment . He wanted to know the most importan piece of information ! Where is the middle part ?


    Realizing that the Diary throwed him into a state of questioning , Mike decided to meditate and grow his Sea for the rest of the day .


    In the blink of an eye a week passed , or better to say Mike slept seven times . Each time after Mike slept a loaf of black bread and a canister of water would appear in the corner . Every second day with a vegetable soup .


    In this week Mike didn''t do nothing and browsed through the library book , causing the fear of Mike to come true , the necromancer is one of the weakest branches of the Dark Element . It is more like making a puppet with a Spirit Force and controlling it . Though a real skeleton is way stronger , one needed corpses of strong warriors to rival those from the same rank . Thus it is easy to become the enemy of a country if the necromancer somehow takes the corpse of a person the country admires .


    Since the necromancer branch seemed to be filled with many negative traits Mike wanted to change his branch and maybe follow the blood path . From what he read it is the strongest with many positve traits and it is not weaker than necromancer in war times .


    But the library shattered his hopes , it is not possible to learn spells beyond the basics from a different branch . It may be possible for similiar or close branches like poison/acid , but blood and necromancy are completely different subjects .


    The closest to necromancer would be puppet magicians which are deemed as grey . Since they can use dark materials as well as holy materials to build up their puppets . Though normally every puppeter only has puppets of one kind .


    Deeming that it will make a huge difference if he choose necromancer which uses free material , spirit force , or uses expensive materials , monster parts . Mike decided to choose necromancer instead .


    The rest of the time Mike meditated to get a bigger sea and trained summon minion in order to get a higher master of the spell . After the Week of training Mike is capable of finishing one child skeleton in one go , without having to make stops between it .


    To test its attack power Mike commanded the skeleton to attack him , only to be met with child punches and child kicks .


    Seeing that he seemingly has no future besides summoning a few skeleton kids who at most would be able to help at farming he frowned . As if met with a sudden enlightment he thought of the fact why he could even join the royal academy .Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve.

    "I have three special powers , first of all the magical core which allows me to store more spirit force , the tattoo which enhances my body in a way i have no idear and the three x three . As i remember i should''ve three eyes and three ears , where the heck are they ? Not only that , what use do three hearts have on my body ?" pondered Mike before doing the dumbest thing to test it out .


    He jumped a few times , causing him to feel surprised . His body felt so light !


    Stopping the act of wasting precious energy Mike pondered the chance of him becoming a warrior . With his hunchback it will be quite hard to block any strike above his head , but if he is able compensate that with speed it won''t be a problem .


    But Mike pushed the act of becoming a warrior to the side . Magicians are way stronger , if his minion would only be a little bit more advanced . For example the strength of a youth , it would be quite useful for Mike .


    Just as he wanted to lie down and sleep , he heard a voice : "Is everything to your liking ?"


    Quickly standing up and bowing a little bit Mike replied : "Naturally , is there any reason for you to visit me ?"


    In front of him the stone creature stood and glared at Mike .


    After hearing the reply the stone creature took a little copper card out of nowhere and said : "Here , this is your student ID . You are now a member of the library force ."


    Nodding like a docile pet Mike watched how the stone creature turned his head and prepared to go . But the creature stopped and said : "In a Month grade one will be participating in an excursion , everyone has to be there . Since you are part of the library faction i will tell you one thing : We are neutral , we don''t meddle in any situations . Okay ?"


    Continue nodding Mike waited for the creature to walk out , but the creature started to talk again : "If you want to leave this room , use this magic circle to go out . Feel free to do it . You can even attend lessons or learn with other students . But i don''t recommend it , currently there is no necromance teacher in the academy and dark element teacher never give free lessons ."


    "Thank you , i will keep it in mind ." replied Mike in a humble tone . Looking on the ground Mike waited till the creature disappeared .


    Wiping his sweat away Mike sat on his bed as he frowned . Why does the creature needs him ?


    Touching the copper card he could only feel the smooth surface of the copper . As well as an engraved Name on the card : Mike .


    After putting the Card in a random pocked Mike moved towards the magic circle the creature called the exit . Using a little bit of his Spirit Force caused a Door to open . On the other side the library awaited him . Book Shelves towering above him caused him to feel tiny . Every single shelve brimmed with book as not even a single void space could fit between two books .


    Walking for a while he arrived at an intersection of different paths , a map indicated the way . Not interested in the rest of the academy he searched for a place to meet other students . It may be a fact that he looks disgusting , but there are many people out there who don''t care about looks .


    Deciding to go to the training field Mike started to walk . Arriving at the training field he could see people running around and doing exercises .


    While Mike slowly walked around a group of people neared .


    "Oh , oh . Who have here ?" grinned a boy who looked at Mike .


    "Yeah , so disgusting . Who would ever touch somebody like you ? Hahahah ." joked another one , causing the majority of the group to laugh .


    "Who are you ? A new student ? Didn''t you know that this training field is specially reserved for Steel Lions ?" asked a female as she stepped out of the group .


    Drilled brown hairs with perky hips and two mountains almost bursting out of her chest maked her an attractive woman capable of seducing countless mans .


    But Mike only glance at her before replying : "What do you want ?"


    As if Mike said something really bad one boy stepped forward and shouted : "Huh ? How do you dare to say anything to Goddness Elizabeth ?"


    More Boys stepped forward while Mike looked at them with a cautious gaze .


    Sneering Elizabeth watched the show while crossing her arms .


    As soon as more than 5 people neared Mike , they began to hit on him . Cursing few senteces like :


    "Hmpf , a thrash daring to come near to Goddness Elizabeth and even daring to answer without her consent ."


    "You are way too ugly , what reason do you have to come here ? Maybe trying to marry the shit of some beautiful woman ? Hahah ."


    "Just piss off , no reason for you to stay alive anymore ."


    After Mike lied on the ground , tattered with dust and dirt , they finally stopped .


    With a kick they confirmed if Mike passed out . Then they slowly left , following Elizabet trying to flatter her as much as possible .


    After the group left Mike suddenly stood up , touching his nose he could feel the sticky blood . Confirming that none of his limbs broke he slowly moved back to the library .


    With the same gaze and walk he walked back to the library , meeting nobody he stepped into his room .


    Eating the rest of his food he started to meditate , trying to ignore the pain on his whole body .


    After meditating for a while he fell asleep , only to awaken in an unknown time .


    Rubbing his eyes Mike slowly stood up while moving back to the book on the column . Only to see a second symbol appearing on the column . That''s the end of his privacy .


    After browsing for a while he realized that a few titles missed , for example the Diary of the Necromancer vanished . Though some Diarys remained .


    Some Food appeared in the corner , however Mike ignored it and walked out . This time he wanted to confirm whether the book has some sort of protection mechanic . After all if mortals would be able to transfer hidden messages , then it wouldn''t be surprised if a magician is able to do that as well .


    Walking towards the necromancer section took more than one hour . While passing the different section he met some other students , but he quickly passed by without greeting them .


    Slowly taking out one book after another Mike started to read . For him , it is a different feeling . The book on the column may be more practical , but holding the real book is something completely different .


    Also he saw the students mostly using those general books for the knowdledge they wanted .


    However Mike wanted to hold the diary which told about the weaknesses of necromancer . After all he needed this information , the spirit force skeleton is too weak to be used in actual combat .


    Time passed as Mike spend his entire time reading , eating and meditating in peace . He didn''t even wasted time as he meditated while pooping .


    While reading Mike found out something interesting , appearently the magician ranking in the lion kingdom only reaches from 1 to 12 . There is not even a single book mentioning the so called "novice" ranking the necromancer should be part of .


    Since searching for a single book is like searching for a specific speck of dust in a mansion filled with dust , Mike not only searched for books . He also searched for some spell books that may teach him other spells . After all the most basic spells practically can be learned by everybody . He even could learn the most basic spell for fire magicians or water magician , but he didn''t wanted to . After all it is weaker if used with his dark-necromancer spirit force .


    Three weeks passed as Mike searched for some beginner spells for necromancer , only to be filled with more and more despair . Most of them are like the basic minion summoning , creating a skelton with weapon and shield , creating a full plated skeleton , etc. .


    So every single thing needed to be created with his own spirit force . How could he even afford that with his meagre amount of spirit force ?


    In the blink of an eye two weeks passed , only two weeks left to the excursion .


    Two weeks before the excursion he found an old tattered tome with the enscription of "Basic Spells of Necromancy" , wondering why this old tome has so many sites Mike started to read .


    The Beginner Spells of Necromancy are as followed :


    - Bone Spear


    - Energy Absorption


    - Rise Corpse


    - Dark Smoke


    - Minion Enforcement


    - Slave Contract


    - Life Contract


    - Shackles of Pain


    .....


    Shocked from the countless Spells which could only be mentioned in this old tome , Mike felt an excitement surging up from him . Why the heck are these the "old" basic spells and not the basic spells mentioned in every necromancy book ?


    Not caring whether these are fakes or not Mike ran back to his room , holding the book in his hands he started to use the book on the column to search for the specific spell books . Who cares about getting watched ? It is too much of an hassle to search every single kind of book .


    Using the general book caused Mike to frown , he couldn''t sort the books . Neither could he choose any category of necromancy spell . Instead he only could select necromancy spells which caused the Minion Creation to appear in all of the pages .


    Filled with rage Mike ran back to the necromancy station , cursing the general book of being useless .


    "The spells has to be somewhere ." mumbled Mike while walking deeper and deeper into the section . Passing by shelves which looked like they hadn''t been cleaned for the last few decades .


    Time passed as Mike finally found one of the spell books which appeared in the old tome .


    "Energy Absorption for Beginners"


    Finding the first one caused the rest to be easily located , since these spell books should be near the spell book of energy absorption .


    Carrying more than 10 books and his tome caused Mike to sweat after the first step .


    Putting the tower of books down and sitting down to rest for a while Mike started to sigh . Resting he could see that the section in which sat looked quite dark . Only a small light orb illuminated a small area , the rest looked gloomy .


    Just as Mike wanted to continue to carry his tower of books he could hear a voice of temptation lulling him into a semi-sleep state . Losing his control over his body caused Mike wanting to shout , but the only thing he could do is to feel how his body slowly moved deeper into the section .
