Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 5:
Chapter 5 – Closed Dungeon
The monster’s corpses was used to summon the Skeleton Soldier with [Strength 5 Agility 8 Health 5] .
Consumed Magic Point: 1, Required Control : 1
Woojin had defeated an additional 27 Drabbits, and he had leveled up twice . He was currently at level 3 . Every time he leveled up, he received 5 Stat Points and he distributed the 10 Stat Points into Magic and Control .
Magic : 15 Control :14
If he summoned 15 Skeleton Soldiers, he’ll only be able to keep 14 of them . Once the Summons exceeds the range of his Control, they would turn into monsters beyond his control .
“Wake up, my minions . ”
Woojin had reached the pinnacle as a Necromancer . After being transported, he had to restart from a low level, but it was a path he had already walked . He didn’t have to worry about Spells or Activation Words .
It was possible to manifest his familiars and mastered magics using just his will .
“Koo-roo-roo . ”
From nearby, the three corpses of the Drabbit exploded, and three Skeleton Soldiers was summoned . They were very weak, so he rarely used them in his latter-days . Still, he felt extremely happy to see them again .
“Let’s go . ”
He still didn’t have rear any support magic, but it would not be a problem with the Drabbits . Woojin and the three Skeleton Soldiers descended the stairs . It caused the Drabbits to run towards them in response .
“Charge!”
“Keehhhhhhk!”
The Skeleton Soldiers let out a horrible shriek, then they ran forward swinging their bone knives threateningly .
Puh-uk!
“Kee-ehk . ”
One Skeleton Soldier fell into a heap from one blow as a Drabbit used a menacing head-butt . The others were lucky . They were only bitten on their arms and legs .
Since the Skeleton Soldiers were composed of bones, attacks using teeth weren’t a threat . The Skeleton Soldiers were very weak, and their attack capabilities were insignificant . They swung their blunt bone knives, but it wasn’t very effective against the Drabbits .
However, they had blocked the Drabbit’s dangerous first charge, so they had done their job .
Puh-uk, puk!
Woojin swung his clawed hammer, and the Drabbit’s heads continued to explode . In a flash, he had killed three Drabbits, and he used them as fodder to summon an additional three Skeleton Soldiers .
“Kee-kee-keek . ”
One had been demolished, but the number of Skeleton Soldiers had increased . The five Skeleton Soldier’s reliably blocked in front of Woojin . Woojin used his will to control them as he advanced .
“Kweeeehk!”
From between the broken windows of the subway train, Drabbits ran out en masse . There were so many of them that Woojin halted in his track for a moment .
“Block them!”
The 5 Skeleton Soldiers stood parallel to each other as if they were setting up a barricade .
Puh-puh-puk!
The Drabbits jumped at the Skeleton Soldiers like moths to a flame, and they started head-butting the Skeleton Soldiers’ limbs .
Puh-suk!
The middle Skeleton Soldier fell . One Drabbit broke through the line, and it flew accurately towards Woojin’s head .
Woojin swung the clawed hammer like a clean-up hitter as it split the air .
“One more added!”
The corpse of the Drabbit was flung away, and the corpse exploded to form another Skeleton Soldier .
Woojin headed towards the Drabbits tangled between the Skeleton Soldiers, and he brought down his clawed hammer as if he was threshing .
“Die . Die!”
Puh-puh-puk!
As he ended the Drabbit’s lives, he intermittently summoned more Skeleton Soldiers .
Woojin had 15 Magical Points .
His Magical Points would become empty if he summoned 15 times . The Magical Points recovered naturally, but one could use items or Skills to recover it .
If he increased the [Recovery] stat, then his natural recovery of Magical Points quickened . For a Magician, the most important stats were Wisdom, Magic, and Recovery .
The stat [Healing] dealt with the natural recovery of his body . It increased the recovery speed of [Vitality], which was consumed when one used Healing Skills or Combat Skills .
This was the most important Stat for Warriors .
Woojin possessed 10 Stat Points on both Recovery and Healing . After a certain amount of time, the Recovery would restore 10 Magic Points, but the more important one was the 10 points in Healing .
After one day, a shallow wound would disappear without any scarring as it healed .
“All of you die!”
He trusted his healing power, so Woojin charged as he hefted his clawed hammer .
Boo-oong, puk! Boo-oong, Pul!
His movements already exceeded the limits of a human . Every time he swung his clawed hammer, a Drabbit died .
The couple dozen of Drabbits filling the subway station was defeated in a matter of moments .
When Woojin’s reached level 4, his low Magical Points instantly recovered .
“Ha, I’m so thirsty . ”
Woojin looked around the station, which had turned into a field of Drabbit’s corpses, and he headed towards the vending machine . He pried open the door of the already broken vending machine .
Kwajik .
He used his superhuman strength to create a gap between the vending machine’s door, and couple cans came into sight . Woojin picked up a cola can, and he blew on top of it .
The accumulated dust flew into the air . It looked to be relatively intact, so it seemed like he could drink it .
Ddak . Cheeeeeek . (TLN: tab opening sfx, fizzing sfx)
When he opened the can, he gulped down the warm coke .
“Kooahhh . Ggguhoooo . ” (TLN: sfx)
The fizzing gas made him belt out a satisfying burp . Woojin grinned .
He had defeated the monsters inside the subway station, which had turned into a dungeon . It almost made him think this was still Planet Alphen . However, the refreshing carbonated drink he hadn’t had in 20 years made his return to earth very real to him .
“I really have to go back home . ”
Woojin’s Magical Point had been restored, so he used the Search Skill .
“Mmm . ”
Around the broken subway train’s front car, he could see a sparkling soft light . When he approached it, he saw a finger-sized gem .
When Woojin grabbed the gem emitting a soft green light, the light dimmed .
Woojin carried the item back to where he came from . When he was close to the barrier, the Return Stone let out a light, and it scattered as it touched the barrier .
Che-che-choot .
After seeing the barrier disappear, Woojin went up the stairs of the Gwachun Station’s 1st Exit .
*
“Ooh ooh . I thought I was going to **** my pants . ”
Oh-joonhwan was a rank 9 public servant . After completing the assault, he had been assigned to the closed [Gwachun Station 1st Exit] dungeon as an Access Control Personnel . It had been one month since he was dispatched here .
He fulfilled the temporary reassignemnt period without any accidents happening .
He’ll be going back to the headquarters tomorrow . After he hurriedly returned after using the restroom, it felt like the sky was about to fall .
“What, what is this?”
The locked Dungeon entrance door was open .
He felt dizzy, and the sky turned yellow .
“D . . did a civilian go in? Ha, I’m **** . ”
It was unlikely to think that a Rouser had entered a closed Dungeon . The [Gwachun Station’s 1st Exit] wasn’t a Spot where particular ingredient items dropped . It was a just a dungeon infested by the low-ranked monster, Drabbit .
Unless it was a beginner Rouser looking to train here, he couldn’t think of a reason why someone would look for a dungeon that didn’t drop anything of significance . It was hard to think a Rouser would go into a location with no benefits .
Moreover, a Rouser could just apply to enter the Dungeon in the first place . This was why he was assigned to this place .
He looked across the open entrance, and he was able to see that the barrier had already formed . It was a signal indicating someone was inside the dungeon .
“Ha, **** . I’ll have to quickly request for help . ”
For Rousers, the Drabbits were classified as a low level monster, but it was a monster to civilians . Oh-joonhwan was about to quickly make a call, but the barrier became clouded and a man walked out .
“Uh uh?”
Before he could press the send button, Joonhwan’s body froze . Woojin slowly walked out, and he was surprised when he met the gaze of Joonhwan .
“Ah, I opened the door and entered out of curiosit… . ”
“Are . . are you a Rouser?”
At Joonwan’s question, Woojin puzzled over his words . Before he could speak, Joonhwan spoke quickly .
“Whew . You almost took 10 years off my life . Please leave a record of your entrance . Whew . It’s quite fortunate . Why did you go into a dungeon with nothing to gain? You cleared it as a Solo Player, so you must be quite strong . ”
He passed over the Dungeon Entrance Record Log to Woojin . He half-assedly wrote down his name, and position . Then he kept his words scarce .
‘Why do you think I went in? I wanted to ride the subway home . ’
He didn’t have an explanation, so he thought it was best to stay silent . The other man was making up an excuse for him . After signing everything, Woojin confidently asked a question .
“May I go now?”
“Ah, you can go now . ”
Woojin turned around to ask a question after taking a couple steps . The 5 years wasn’t a short of an amount of time as he initially thought since it seemed Dungeons and Rousers had come to be in that time period .
“How much is the bus fee these days?”
“What?”
What the heck? He had heard almost all Rousers were rich .
