Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 4:
Chapter 4 – Level Up! (2)
“Huh . Is this for real?”
Woojin was taken aback, and he hurriedly opened his Status Window .

The Status Window differed greatly from the time he was first summoned to the Planet Alphen . He felt confused . However, he was able to realize the implications soon .
“Ha, it hadn’t disappeared . ”
He had thought all of his powers he had accumulated on Alphen had disappeared in the process of returning to earth .
Advanced .
As the words indicated, his full level character had become level 1 . However, he had received several benefits . At a glance, he had receive two advanced skills . His stat points and skill point was the equivalent to the level he had been before the advancement .
“Also, my class is the same . It’s Necromancer . ”
He had achieved everything he could as a necromancer . He had also controlled and used the Undead, which was known to be the ultimate existence .
This wasn’t a bad thing at all .
Seoul seems to have changed in a weird way . He didn’t know what will happen in the future, so it wasn’t a bad thing to have power . He couldn’t see far into the future, but he needed the power to safely escape this dungeon .
When he leveled up, Woojin felt relieved . Also, there was a margin for error for him now . He had recovered the power he thought he had lost . He had less mental fatigue when thinking about how to prepare for the danger .
He didn’t want the monsters to mob him after smelling the blood, so he retraced his steps . As soon as he returned to the pathway where the damaged stores were lined up, he started looking at the newly formed Advanced Skills .
<Combination Box>
He could combine various ingredients to receive a new item . He might be able to put in items to extract a key ingredient .
“How do I use this?”
It was a skill he had never seen before, so he didn’t have the faintest idea on how to use it . He tried speaking the activation word, and he searched for various methods . Eventually he was able to find the Inventory .
There was a Combination Box located on the lower half of the Inventory . He tried to touch it, and as if another Inventory was opening up, there were buttons on the bottom .
[Combine] and [Extract] .
“Chet, the Inventory Expansion returned to it original state . ”
The Inventory had only 3 columns of space . As one’s level increases, the Inventory expands . However, it seemed like it didn’t receive any Advancement Benefits, so he was disappointed .
Of course, the most disappointing part was the items he had accumulated before had all disappeared .
Woojin touched the other Advanced Skill called Achievement Shop .
He tried various method, but he was able activate the Achievement Shop through an activation word . He repeated saying the activation word, and he found out it was possible to open the Shop without saying anything .
The Shop was lined up with Skill Books, Equipments and Consumable Items . He needed a large sum of Achievement Points to purchase them .
“This is fun . ”
The Alphen Planent didn’t have an Achievement Shop . This was akin to internet shopping where he didn’t have to go to a location to purchase the items .
“There aren’t anything I want to buy . ”
The equipments he could buy was low-grade . The thing he needed the most right now is a Skill . Even the lowest skill required 10 achievement points .
Woojin eventually chose three skills .
[Search], [Detect], [Skeleton Soldier Summon]
Each of the skills required 10 achievement points . He decided to get Search to help find items in his surrounding . He needed the skill to find the Return Stone .
Detect was a passive skill . It would accurately alert him of danger in advance . It was an essential skill in helping him survive .
The Skeleton Soldier Summon was one of the basic skills of a Necromancer .
Whether it was the effect of the Advancement or maybe it was the fact that his class was automatically selected, there were constraints in which skills he could learn . He was able to learn common Magic Skills and weapon skills, but he could only learn the Class Skills of a Necromancer .
“Well, I should worry too much about it right now . I’m short on points any ways . ”
He looked at the 4 points he had accumulated, so the method was clear . One Drabbit gave 1 point . He’ll be able to purchase one Skill if he defeat 6 more Drabbits .
He immediately needed his fighting capabilities . It would allow him to defeat the monsters safely . It was a problem he could solve without purchasing a Skill .
<Stat>
Strength : 30 Speed : 30 Health : 30 Wisdom : 30
Magic: 10 Vitality : 0 Recovery : 10 Healing 10 Control : 9
Undistributed Points : 0
Woojin distributed his points . He swung the hammer as he looked at the updated Stat Window .
Boo-oong . Boong .
A destructive sound that couldn’t be compare to before emanated . He moved his body a little bit, and his body was lighter than before . Moreover, his reaction speed couldn’t be compared to before .
He possessed 10 times the capability of a normal human . Woojin had 3 times the strength of a normal adult male . He was also 3 times faster, and his stamina was 3 times better .
“I’m not sure if I’m 3 times smarter . ”
His ability to memorize and calculate had definitely improved . It felt like his brain worked faster . However, the difference in his body movements were much more noticeable .
“Ok, let’s go . ”
He had to defeat 6 Drabbits . He had to acquire the Search Skill . He’ll find the Return Stone, then he’ll escape the dungeon .
Woojin headed back downward as he held onto to his clawed hammer .
*
“Ha, there are so many of them . ”
On the Planet Alphen, there were so many Drabbits that one might trip over them . It basically meant they were easy to find, and they were very easy to defeat . However, he felt fatigued after facing them continuously in the narrow pathway .
Woojin took in a ragged breath .
As soon as he went down the stairs, he had methodically defeated the Drabbits he faced . He was able to steadily accumulate his Achievement Points . He had defeated 27 Drabbits as he traveled through the dark passageway .
He was able to purchase the essential Search and Detect skills with his Achievement Points .
At the same time as he purchased them, the Skill Books appeared in his Inventory, and he learned them immediately .
It consumed one Magic Point every time he used it . He tried using the Search Skill, but he didn’t see any items that could be called a Return Stone .
He had traveled the same passageway, and he failed to find the Return Stone . There was only one place left .
“Do I have to go down there?”
Woojin hid himself behind the handrail as he glanced down the stairs . It was inner part of the station where the wrecked subway was located at .
At a glance, he could see over 20 Drabbits milling about . It was possible for him to face 3-4 Drabbits in a tight passageway, but he wouldn’t be able to face over 20 Drabbits in a large open space . If he became surrounded by them, then he’ll inevitably be hurt .
“Whew . It really isn’t in my personality to move around on my own . ”
Woojin smirked as he looked at the clawed hammer, which was stained with Drabbit’s blood .
He opened the Achievement Shop, then he purchased the [Skeleton Soldier Summon] Skill Book with his remaining points .
