Lia shivered as her group stepped down the corridor into the tomb which descended with a staircase. Only after a few minutes did they reach the first floor. Only Lia jumped at the sheer amount of corpses. If any were to rise just a few would be a horror show. She quickly turned to run up the stairs. "Nope, i told you this is a bad idea!"
BOOM*
Lia's heart skipped a beat as her face paled, not even halfway up the stair case and she was faced with her groups consequences. The stone door to this tomb, it slammed shut.. They were stuck in here with many undead possibility of hundreds of undead even.
Panicking she looked down at the worried faces of her companions. Of course its dark, but Dale had the bright idea to create a miniature sun for some torch effects.. No pun intended of course..
"Dale was that supposed to happen?" She looked at the wizard quizzically, did he forget to mention it? She only felt more panic when his answer was a frown and a slow shake of his head. That said Rena cocked her head to the side, shushing the party. She heard something faintly.
There was a deep inhale as if the tomb came alive. The walls trembled lightly, cravks jutting across the veiling with a deep rumble that echoed from the tomb. The party engaged their battle mode. Rena drew her dual short swords, whilst Dale readied a fireball and Lia knocked 2 arrows. "What the hell?!"
They heard whooshing cracks spread across the corridors heading straight for them. Stepping forwards, Dale readied to blast when all the torches along the walls whooshed up with green fire with crimson licking at its ends. Dale expelled his light with the flick of his wrist. "Oh, We are not in a low tier dungeon.." Both Rena and Lia gave him a look of 'Ya think?!'.
At least there were no enemies yet, that's when Lia noticed a very scary troublesome fact that was becoming reality fast.. "Guys.. the..t..walls.." Both looked with confusion, only for Dales face to be wrought with utter horror. The walls of corpses were moving, blue fire sparking in their eyes. He inhaled sharply, rising his hand to begin his spell casting!
###
Cold breeze slammed against a throne, old and rusted of centuries of dis-use. A skeleton hangs by threads to stay together, the wind rocking it. Its iron crown jagged with spikes slid to the right just as the skeleton. Somehow not toppling off the spinal neck.
Purple flames mixed with green and licks of red sparked from the breeze, bones covered and draped in a shadowy black. Wisp of void smoke rise continuously from the skeletons body. drapes covering all but its head. Yet there in those empty sockets a spark of crimson blue came into being. The skeleton sat there for awhile. The tomb rumbling to life around it. Its creaking bodies shifted as the skeleton looked down at its hand staring for a moment, before it looked up. Scanning the room, opening its jaws and taking what sounded like a deep inhale. Shadows consolidated around him, whislt flaming eyes beamed into the darkness.
Finally, Duth had awakened. An anger raged within him, likely to affect his future choices. Regardless of the undead innate suppression of emotions, the dead still have them. Unfortunately this brings out extreme emotions from the dead. This is why the undead are so unbelievably aggressive, whilst the dead themselves within the realm of the dead did not have this innate suppression. Once given a body from bones, or flesh that decayed, more so known as the undead it was received. Likely by the magic that kept them alive or their own emotions that festered for a long time. Most souls are very old, with many new ones being buried under the ancients more out of protection.
That said, he once was content, but now wraith scorched red his eyes over the soul blue fire. His body trembled which is when he noticed his predicament, or perhaps his price. 'Reborn a lich huh? And whats this.. Oh right the... i.. cant remember him.. the entity said it was a 'system' whatever that is.. A parting gift to me i suppose?' He couldn't recall the god. Well, only the look and his words that echoed across the realm without resistance. 'Ha who cares. Im..alive.. no undead.. a lich. yes. Lich Duth. Sounds strange, but cant change that can we? Now lets explore this ..'system' of mine.'

The Lich System Before This
After his death, Duth had only mourned as long as he could before seeing his cousin again. Still remembering the lich who broke her neck. Yet when you also die, mourning for life can quickly be forgotten. He saw his friends family and even pets again. The soul realm was certainly a hard one to explain. It didn't have landscape or cities, no it had what the soul wanted. What it was content with. You could call it your own little paradise that gave you actual satisfaction from your happiness. Span that into eternity and anyone may actually find themselves content with their new ever changing reality.He had no idea how long its been in the living world, as far as he could recall times in dimensions were different. Not that you can visit the soul realm with ease. Nor any realm for that matter. The energy required is to put in perspective.. insane, like planetary level. So how did the mortals access the soul realm and find ways to power their magics further?He unfortu
The Lich System Beaten And Battered
A deep crimson flame shot out crashing into the entrance for so many undead. Its flames expanded rapidly. Inhaling oxygen and producing an even more explosive yield. Almost reaching Dale and his companions with blast radius alone, not accounting for the devastating shock wave that follows.The party with both relief and disbelief watched the undead in hundreds be consumed as a tidal wave of hellish flame ran across them like water. Their many war cries of groans, moans and creaking of bones silenced in almost an instant. Dale was rather impressed himself at his level of control and a successful experimental spell. Its components weren't that normal. Mostly based off theory. Yet the shockwave shot them back. Only his last embers of mana saved them from being embedded into a stone wall. That said..He had used a silver of his will, finding it possible to do so, whilst using mana and a small ancient rune used long ago and it worked. Which makes him think his pet pro
The Lich System Danger
Rena dreamt briefly, at first she had been peaceful. However moments only passed before something clawed at her from deep within. Twisting her dreams into nightmares of darkness, screams and the cold eyes of burning crimson blue fire.She snapped awake, cold sweat running down her brow and a deep shiver of fear that didn't settle for a second. She often had these omens, dreams of one day occurrences, it could happen anytime, but the more vivid it became, the less time she had until it happened.. This dream.. It was.. Too vivid.Huff* Huff* Huff*She inhaled and exhaled air like a gasping fish, was that a vision? If so.. Was there time short? How long had it been since she's had visions? A few years at least, Lia craned her head slightly. Taking no notice of Rena's distress.
The Lich System Harvest
Dale had been restrained and disarmed of the scroll, by none other than the Lich. Who gave it a once over before chuckling. "That's funny, but.. Nooo.." He hissed in raving whispers. The lich latched onto his arm with a twisted glee. "Fooood…"A bioluminescent green wisping flame spreads slowly across his forearm. Seeping joyfully into any cracks and creavess found. Dale struggled helplessly, to no avail. All his mana had been sapped when he used the scroll. All he needed was the last string of words. However he couldn't speak under the force of this monster, he still hoped. Not wanting to let go of life so easily, Dale still had much to live for, so much to learn and see, so experience, why should he die here? He won't hand his life to anyone, but the moment that wicked magic touched him. The will of mind and body almost broke in an instant.

[Would you like to upgrade the system? it will cost you 500 SM][Yes/No?][Yes]###Duth didn't know what he expected, a congratulations? Or an anti-climatic upgrade, but this? This was outside his rotten box.At first there was a long delay, expecting nothing more than some subtitle little notification.However, it wasn't so small and the effect was instantaneous. Layers of magical circles flickered into existence, spanning up into the skies and outwards like a machine of gears. Such runes were not physical, nor could he decipher them.Duth stood there
The Lich System Losing The Battle
Adilen signed as he looked down at the messenger. How did this happen? An enemy army appeared within the city? There shouldn't have been a feasible way to breach the city like that, the harbor was protected, so was here at the other end of the pass, finally the sewers were guarded and closed shut. 'Unless.. No.. You'd have to be magically adept for that, there are no wizards of my knowledge anywhere near this city. Nor did we make enemies with one.' Perhaps they were already hidden in the city? Ready to strike when they weren't looking and their manpower was low? That's seemed far more feasible than any mystical scroll that could warp you to a very specific location. One he would rather believe instead. He can't deal with them until he deals with the city walls defenses who were under siege by a rather large bandit army. However, that didnt mean the troops in the walls can't, he grabbed his warhorn, there were two actually. One was for the front; it was more thunderous, though it ha
