Chapter 3: Chapter 0003: Jin…what did you say? Four years late (New book seeking support)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

A large stream of data, like a raging tide, was flooding the screen and ultimately forming an attribute column:

——————————————

Name: [Su Lu Pottery]

Profession: [None]

Professional Rank: [0]

Title: [None]

Strength: [1.1], Agility: [1.2], Constitution: [0.9], Spirit: [1.5]

——————————————

[Ding!! Skill book detected – Creation of Dead Princess. Prerequisites for learning: Ancient Hebrew LV2, Spirit 1.4!…Conditions are met! Would you like to consume 50 experience points to learn?]

A cold and mechanical voice echoed in Su Lu’s heart.

“Could it be… the attribute column of the character from the junk online game I was playing when I suddenly died in my previous life?”

Su Lu lamented weakly: “The Golden Finger arrived several years late… my world view has shattered… utterly shattered… there’s no hope…”

He had a rough guess that the shock he just experienced, which caused a large number of memories to emerge, was the true merging of everything of the original owner Su Lu Pottery, or perhaps, he had become part of this world. The Golden Finger appeared at this point, there must be a connection between the two.

Of course, this page from the Black Magic Book could also be one of the reasons for triggering the attribute column.

In any case, everything was shrouded in mystery.

“[Creation of Dead Princess]?…Since even the attribute column acknowledges it as a skill, then clearly… transcendent powers really exist. Why did the brother of this body, Rod, entrust a page from the Black Magic Book to his younger brother for safekeeping? Where did it come from? Could it be… dangerous?”

Su Lu’s face turned serious, his intuition told him that something was amiss!

A younger brother who had run away from home for four years, suddenly received a letter from his brother, and inside was a page of wicked black magic, doesn’t that seem to be a problem?

“Most importantly, where do I get XP? Experience points? Do I have to fight monsters?”

Su Lu was in distress.

In the game, of course, you could recklessly kill monsters and heroes, and experience points would naturally come rolling in. But this is a real world, where he lived for four years, and he didn’t want to plunge himself into a bloody world of death all of a sudden.

While he was hesitating, a phantom and icy current suddenly emerged from the black magic page in his hand and entered his body through his fingers, causing Su Lu to shudder.

Immediately after, the number behind the experience points on the screen in front of his eyes started to increase rapidly: +1, +1, +1…

“That’s it!”

Su Lu suddenly realized: “The online game I used to play did have this mode, experience points could also be obtained through reading and practicing, besides fighting monsters and completing tasks!”

He felt possible in his heart, but of course, it could also be the attribute column absorbing some kind of power from this piece of paper.

Su Lu earnestly tested: “System! Silicon Statistics?”

“Taskbar?”

“Give me a task…”

“Damn, only the attribute column came with the Golden Finger, not cool!!”

…

After testing for a while, he finally confirmed that the only Golden Finger he possessed was the character data, that is, the attribute column.

As for the task system, personal grandfather, artificial intelligence and so forth, sorry, they are all non-existent!!

“Let it be, if there’s nothing then there’s nothing!”

Su Lu muttered, feeling relieved in his heart. Although he, according to Sean’s words, seemed ‘apathetic on the surface, but is actually very sarcastic’, he had a heart yearning for freedom and didn’t really care much about personal grandfather or compulsory tasks.

After fiddling for a while, his XP value finally slowly rose to 50, and the air flow inside the book page was completely consumed.

Su Lu took a deep breath: “I have to give it a shot.”

He called back the previous dialog box and fiercely chose ‘yes’!

“Confirm learning the skill – Creation of Dead Princess!”

With a thought, the last bit of XP in his attribute column was instantly consumed, leaving 0.

At the same time, Su Lu grunted, feeling as if a brick had been forcefully stuffed into his head, and a lot of knowledge related to black witchcraft – Creation of Dead Princess emerged.

…

“The Corpse Maiden, is the most basic creation of black magic, requiring materials: female corpse, blood of the caster… Note, it must be a female corpse, men won’t work!”

“When drawing the array, pay attention to the position of the pentagram, the star’s angle needs to be aligned with the dark constellation in the sky, this can increase the success rate…”

“The Corpse Maiden has no wisdom and low combat power. Among the group of necromancers, most are of servant level existence…but by increasing the level of the caster, powerful necromancers can often create enhanced type Corpse Maidens for battle.”

…

Su Lu clutched his head, this was completely different from the memory emergence before.

After all, Su Lu’s previous memories were all originally part of this body, they were just forgotten later, but they were still in his mind.

But at this moment, it was as if someone had split his skull with an ax and harshly stuffed in foreign knowledge!

This pain was utterly different from before!

Su Lu bit his teeth hard, somehow managing not to scream out loud.

“Huh huh…”

He was panting heavily, and a few minutes later finally calmed down. Looking at the black magic page, many previously vague parts now flowed smoothly, clear at a glance, even making Su Lu somewhat eager to experiment.

Looking again at the attribute column, sure enough there were changes:

[Consumed XP 50, learned black magic – Creation of Dead Princess, current level LV1!]

Behind the skill column, suddenly appeared a sub column labeled [Creation of Dead Princess LV1].

Su Lu gently touched it with his thoughts, and more information emerged: [Creation of Dead Princess LV1: through a certain ritual, grant a temporary vitality to a female corpse, with a comparatively low success rate]

“It’s real!”

Su Lu murmured to himself, clenching his fist.

He took a deep breath, slowly folded the black magic page, and put it back into the envelope. He began to tidy up the other items he was carrying, then stood up.

He glanced around, there were a few other students scattered across the lawn, the closest one was ten meters away, lying in the sun, snoring loudly.

Fifty meters away, there was a couple sitting on a spread out bedsheet, having a picnic date.

Looking up, the sun was still blazing.

No one knew that just moments ago, right next to them, a student had confirmed the existence of witchcraft!

“This world… is really going to change!”

Su Lu muttered in his heart, and left without looking back.
