Episode 24
24
[Corpse Processing Facility]
Manufactures components for Necro Item Crafting.
Corpses must be consumed to produce components.
A sparse explanation.
There was nothing written about how to actually do it.
How am I supposed to do this?
I hesitated for a moment before Cheok Cheok Seoksa came through with a donation again.
[Cheok Cheok Seoksa has donated 1 DP!]
Just pull a corpse from the corpse pit and put it in.
But how do I pull out a corpse?
That thought crossed my mind, but I went ahead and brought my finger to the Multidimensional Corpse Pit.
I wanted to move everything except the female human corpse, but then—oh!
Whoosh.
Several Goblin Undead emerged from the Necron Ossuary and walked straight toward the Multidimensional Corpse Pit.
Then they picked up the corpses of an Orc, a Lizardman, a Ratman, and a Goblin and took them to the Corpse Processing Facility.
Fortunately, the Corpse Processing Facility didn’t require intelligent Undead to operate it.
Light entered the Corpse Processing Facility.
A message appeared.
[Corpse Processing Facility is now operational.]
[You have obtained 21 Corpse Flesh.]
[You have obtained 18 Corpse Bone Fragments.]
[You have obtained 16L of Rotten Essence Blood.]
[There is no storage space available.]
[Warehouse in the Commercial Category has been unlocked.]
[Resources will be discarded within 1 hour unless you construct a warehouse.]
Ah, so that’s how it works?
This feels just like playing some small-scale territory management game.
-Newbie Necromancer’s territory management—this is rare.
-The Undead bouncing around coming out of the Necron Ossuary is kinda funny.
-Looks like the warehouse unlock is separate from leveling?
Watching the chat’s reactions, I went ahead and constructed the warehouse.
And so—
With a sound like “Crunch-crunch-crunch,” a warehouse made of skulls and bones appeared next to the Corpse Processing Facility.
I could see the Goblin Undead automatically moving the resources into the warehouse.
So that’s how it worked?
“So… this means I can make items with those resources now?”
-That’s right.
-This old guy barely knows a thing about Necromancers, huh?
-Mister, please search the internet a bit! Just a little! Stop just running the Tower!!
The chat erupted at my words. But ignoring them, I tried using the skill anyway.
“Necro Item Crafting.”
And then I saw an absurd message.
[No item crafting recipes exist.]
[Skill has been cancelled.]
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wait, you don’t have anything at all????
-So he’s not a Spirit Lord but a Spirit Blank?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-This is crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“Well, looks like I’ve unintentionally given my viewers a good laugh. At least I’ve provided them with some entertainment. Tonight calls for a drink.”
-Self-medicating with a drink, I seeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Man, I laughed at this ridiculous situationㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-What is this!!! Why don’t you have anything!!!!
[Cheok Cheok Seoksa has donated 1 DP!]
Mister, please do an internet search!! Or just go to the Marketplace first!!!!
Cheok Cheok Seoksa had lost patience and was now furious.
“Ah, well, these things happen! Let me just head to the Marketplace.”
I went to the Marketplace and pulled up the list of Necromancer Item Crafting recipes available for purchase at level 13 and below. All sorts of random things came up.
“There’s quite a variety here, isn’t there?”
What caught my eye was something called the Clear Water Collecting Bone Jar.
[Clear Water Collecting Bone Jar Crafting Recipe]
Grade: Special
A bone jar crafted by Necromancers.
It has the function of drawing in moisture from the surroundings and collecting water.
With an automatic purification function, it collects clean water.
Function: Clean Water Generation
A simple enough item.
But it’s survival gear!
As the Dimensional Tower’s floors climb higher, the space grows vast, and the scale multiplies geometrically.
There are cases where one stays there for an entire month.
Because of this, items like this prove invaluable.
There’s no need to belabor the point—the freshwater problem is everything in a place like that.
There were several other items as well.
But what should I actually buy here? I scrolled through the list and clicked on another one.
[Legendary Grade Necromancer Bone Staff Crafting Recipe]
Grade: Legendary
A crafting recipe for a Necromancer-exclusive Spirit Power staff made from bone.
You can craft a staff that reduces Spirit Power consumption and increases the power of Spirit spells.
The potency and characteristics vary depending on the crafting materials and the type of Spirit spell you imbue into it.
Restriction: Level 500 or higher
What? Level 500 or above? That means a hunter from around the 50th floor obtained this and is selling it?
Normally you gain about 10 levels per floor… I still have quite a way to go.
Regardless, I got a general sense of what was available.
So then, what should I buy…?
As I stood there pondering, someone named Park Il Chim made a donation and sent a message.
[Park Il Chim donated 1 DP!]
If you’re starting Necro, you gotta make the basic Necro Five-Piece Set first, ring staff circlet and so on, let’s go
Ring staff circlet?
At Park Il Chim’s words, I paused to think. I didn’t even know what the Necro Five-Piece Set was.
“Viewers, hold on a moment. I don’t even know what the Necro Five-Piece Set is, so let me search for it.”
-The streamer’s totally clueless lolololol
-I know martial arts but this Necro stuff? Is this really happening?
-The channel where you watch the host do searches, but somehow you still get hooked?
Regardless of what the viewers said, I went into the Necromancer Community and searched it up.
What is the Necro Five-Piece Set?
It was exactly what Park Il Chim had mentioned.
First, the ring.
Apparently it’s a ring made from bone.
It’s used to store Spirit, one of the Necromancer’s resources, or so I’m told? Of course, you can upgrade it later and add all sorts of options to it.
Next comes the necklace, bracelet, and circlet.
These are also made from bone as the base material, though you can add all sorts of other materials to them. But there are level restrictions and you need separate crafting skills, apparently.
Finally, the staff.
Since Necromancers are still mages after all, the staff is essential, according to the community posts.
I see.
So I’ve been scraping by all this time without any real equipment.
I need to reflect on that.
And from what it seemed, even if someone like me has an item crafting skill, there are practically no cases where they make their own gear directly.
Usually, once you have the Necromancer class and pick up a blacksmith subclass, a Hidden Class called Necro Blacksmith pops up, and people just buy their finished products and use those instead.
Because their quality is superior.
But.
No one knows how far the potential of my Hidden Class Necron Emperor will stretch. There’s never been a Necron Emperor class before, after all.
And this time around, I’d accumulated Donation Points at a level no Level 13 hunter should be able to earn.
I had enough leftover DP to buy not just the legendary grade staff recipe, but even several finished products made by Necro Blacksmiths.
What should I do?
I thought for a moment, then made my decision.
Let me just try crafting it myself first.
If it turns out badly, I can always buy something later.
Why worry so much?
I’d been thinking of this life as bonus time, a continuation of my previous one.
The passion I once had in my previous life—to become a Martial God again and ascend—had long since faded.
All I wanted now was to climb this Dimensional Tower and experience the same fierce intensity I’d felt back then.
So then.
I’d simply do as I pleased.
“Fine. I’ve made my decision.”
-At last, the Lord of Spirits has chosen!
-So what are you going to make?
[Cheok Cheok Seoksa has donated 1 DP!]
Ugh, why the frustration? Just give me DP and I’ll buy and use whatever I want!!
The moment I saw Cheok Cheok Seoksa venting his exasperation, I couldn’t help but let out a snort of laughter.
“Well then, what I’m going to do is… buy everything.”
-What?
-Buy what?
-Buy EVERYTHING???
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ insaneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ buying all the recipes?
“Purchase all Necromancer crafting recipes for level 13 and below.”
Poof!
I ordered the money spent, and just like that, every item was purchased.
The viewers reacted with delight and began making a ruckus.
* * *
I crafted the items right before the viewers’ eyes.
[White Bone Ring], [White Bone Staff], [White Bone Necklace], [White Bone Bracelet], [White Bone Circlet].
In other words, the White Bone Set had come into being.
It even had a set effect.
Function: When equipped with 5 or more items bearing the White Bone name, Spirit Power +10
And through various tips from the viewers, I learned one more thing.
You could craft items even without a recipe.
[Keun Son Ajae has donated 100 DP!]
Lord of Spirits, if you use Corpse Processing on the bones to join them together, then grant one of the necromantic spells via Necro Item Crafting, you get an item.
That was what Keun Son Ajae had taught me.
Being wealthy, he’d given 100 DP without hesitation.
And so I made something with that knowledge…
[White Bone Palanquin Stand]
Grade: Common
A stand for supporting a palanquin made of white bone.
Designed to be carried by four people.
Function: Spirit Power Utilization
This was it.
An item I’d crafted specifically to put to use the legendary-grade [Small Empire Emperor’s Throne]!
If I placed the throne atop this palanquin stand?
Tada. I’d have a moving imperial throne palanquin!
That’s right.
From now on, I would climb the tower seated upon this emperor’s throne palanquin!
-A throne palanquin… are they insane……
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ no, this is actually wild.
-That’s a whole different vibe;;;;
Some of the viewers were taken aback, while others found it hilarious.
But you have to admit it’s impressive, right?
The only issue was that my low level meant I could only attach a few skills to the palanquin.
I couldn’t grant things like Touch of Decay or Life Force Absorption, and Corpse Lord’s Majesty or Soul Binding were also beyond me.
The only skills I could use were Corpse Control, Undead Recycling, and Spirit Power Utilization—just three options.
I chose Spirit Power Utilization.
According to the viewers, when you use an item with the Spirit Power Utilization skill attached, it reduces the consumption rate of Spirit Power.
A tip like that?
I had no choice but to go with it immediately.
After crafting various items and doing this and that, time slipped away.
I ended the broadcast.
My level was too low to raise other buildings in the Multidimensional Corpse Pit anyway, so there was nothing else I could do.
