Chapter 28
28
The colossal frame trembled for a moment before crumbling like a lie, collapsing entirely.
Boom.
The massive corpse toppled, shaking the ground with its weight.
The shaman and elite forces were already vanishing, caught in the vortex of the Pancian Bajin-do.
And as the enlargement effect faded, the corpse scattered into light.
“….”
Park Il-chim stared at the monitor for a long moment, his mouth hanging open.
Words wouldn’t come. He couldn’t think of anything to type in chat.
Then, slowly, he moved his fingers toward the keyboard.
Tap.
-That was insane….
That was all Park Il-chim could manage to say.
It was the limit of his ability to express astonishment.
* * *
“Oh. It’s dead.”
The enlarged hobgoblin general had truly been finished in a single strike—cleanly and completely.
Last time, hundreds of undead had swarmed like ants before he could crush it; this time, with only Heugggang and Baekgang, two corpses, it was a one-hit kill.
This was the true brilliance of raising corpses properly.
Now he understood why the Spirit Commander in his past life had strutted around so much after creating a single Spirit Heavenly Corpse.
If you build them right, they’re genuinely reassuring.
Even if I had to control them manually rather than let them act autonomously.
What more could I ask for?
And that was the moment.
[No residents of the village have perished.]
[You have cleared the first floor trial of the Dimensional Tower for the first time.]
[Your level difference is less than 10, so the condition is satisfied.]
[You have been confirmed as the highest contributor.]
[A first-clear reward for the first floor trial of the Dimensional Tower has been generated.]
[Accumulated additional rewards have been generated.]
Oh. There was something like that? It was a perfect clear if I protected all the NPCs?
I didn’t know about that. If this message is right, the hunters on the other side worked pretty hard too.
Or maybe I drew aggression well and everything came at me instead.
So if the level difference is around 10, they still count it as a clear?
I guess so.
If a level 500 hunter came and beat up all the goblins here, that wouldn’t be a legitimate clear.
As I was thinking that, messages began flooding in one after another.
[Your level has increased by 1.]
[Your level has increased by 1.]
[Your level has increased by 1.]
Three levels at once again.
I was 13 a moment ago, so now I’m 16.
And soon after, more messages poured in.
-Another first clear!?
-This is insane. Is this actually… happening?
-Insane!
“Just ran one more grinding session and I’m getting another reward? Is that really allowed?”
Leaning back lightly against the Imperial Throne’s backrest, a quiet laugh slipped out.
Dimensional Tower.
You really do make me happy.
Just as I was thinking that.
[A magnificent and wondrous achievement!]
[You have obtained a Legendary Grade reward.]
Ah… so the perfect clear reward is measured at Legendary Grade.
Not Creation or Mythic tier like in the tutorial—that’s a shame.
But Legendary Grade is more than enough.
You can tell just from the fact that this Imperial Throne came from Legendary Grade.
-Another Legendary Grade!!
-What’s going to come out this time?
—Anticipating, anticipating, anticipating—
I’m excited too. What on earth will it be?
That’s what I was thinking.
Finally, the reward appeared.
[You have obtained 1 Hero Soul Summoning Stone.]
“Huh?”
What’s this? A Hero Soul Summoning Stone?
—This is insane!
—A Hero Soul Summoning Stone here!?
—Wow… absolutely crazy.
I have no idea, but the viewers clearly all know what this means.
While I was standing there bewildered,
the first floor stage ended and I found myself back in the Entrance Hall.
“Wait. Why is everyone acting like this is such a big deal?”
—Did you seriously not look anything up online?
—This is why beginner Necromancers don’t cut it. Back in my day…
—Now that’s what I call our Spirit Commander! Today’s no different—brilliant work!
Not being a martial master like in my past life, I couldn’t properly follow the stream of chat pouring down the screen.
But I could catch enough scattered words to sense that the viewers were mocking me.
Ugh.
It seems I still have much to learn about being a Necromancer.
So I ignored the viewers and examined the item instead.
[Hero Soul Summoning Stone]
Grade: Legendary
A summoning stone that randomly summons the soul of an entity worthy of being called a hero.
The summoned soul becomes bound to the user and provides assistance.
Function: Hero Soul Summoning
Function: Soul Binding
There’s something like this in existence?
While I was thinking that,
[Cheok-cheok Seoksa has donated 1 DP!]
It’s essential for Necromancers. The souls you summon with it are all powerful. Turn them into undead and they become extremely strong. And the most important thing is—they have consciousness, so they help tremendously. You don’t have intelligent undead to run your facilities, right? This one can manage that too.
Ah.
So it’s an item that can get me something like Je-gal Yu-yeon, my android secretary?
Of course, Je-gal Yu-yeon is incredibly expensive even though it’s mass-produced, whereas this is different in that it’s an actual entity that once lived.
But what does this Cheok-cheok Seoksa character even do for a living to know about everything? His name is Seoksa, but is he some kind of full-time wanderer?
“Thanks, Cheok-cheok Seoksa. You really do know everything.”
—Isn’t our Spirit Commander just dense?
—They say ignorance isn’t a sin, but you really need to study;;;;
—Is this supposed to be a super rookie? My chest feels so heavy.
It felt like the viewers were insulting me, but honestly, I didn’t care.
“Let me see. Should I do an accounting now?”
My level had become 16.
I’d obtained this Legendary Grade reward, but my real goal lay elsewhere.
Grinding.
Wasn’t the whole reason I replayed the first floor to obtain corpse resources?
Let me check… Wow. Quite the haul.
3,281 corpses.
Over three thousand undead were now under my command.
“Can I put all of these in the Necron Ossuary?”
[Cheok-cheok Seoksa has donated 1 DP!]
The Ossuary’s undead storage limit is 1,000. However, I’m not sure about the Necron Emperor. Normally, once one Ossuary fills up, you have to build additional ones.
Ah, so there’s a separate storage limit for the Ossuary.
“Cheok-cheok Seoksa, you really do know everything.”
I have no idea where this character crawled out of. He’s like a walking encyclopedia.
“But let me ask one more thing. How do I handle Undead Dominion Power then?”
I may be blessed with an absurdly broken job that grants unlimited dominion over walking corpses, but other Necromancers aren’t like that.
So how do they stuff undead into the Ossuary in the first place?
[Cheok-cheok Seoksa has donated 1 DP!]
Later you’ll unlock sub-dimensional buildings among the tower’s constructs—structures designed to command lesser and mid-tier undead. Once you build those, you can control them without dominion limits. However, it only works within the sub-dimension. You can’t use it in the Dimensional Tower. It’s a resource-gathering facility.
“Ah, I see. So that’s how it works.”
Cheok-cheok Seoksa’s explanation made me nod involuntarily.
Filling the ossuary to pump Necromancy Power—it was perfect for acquiring resources.
“Good. Let’s try throwing in everything we’ve got.”
Three thousand two hundred and eighty-one corpses gathered just now from grinding.
I sent them all filing into the Necron Ossuary in an orderly procession.
Thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump.
An eerie undead column stretched on without end.
The Necron Ossuary accepted them and began radiating an even deeper light.
System messages scrolled across my vision in succession.
[Necron Ossuary corpse storage has exceeded one thousand.]
[Undead Dominion Power increases by 10.]
[Necron Ossuary corpse storage has exceeded two thousand.]
[Undead Dominion Power increases by 10.]
[Necron Ossuary corpse storage has exceeded three thousand.]
[Undead Dominion Power increases by 10.]
“Wow… this isn’t actually insane, is it?”
A gasp escaped me unbidden.
My Undead Dominion Power, which had climbed to 35 from the last level up.
It shot up to 65 in an instant.
“This isn’t just sweet—it’s broken.”
I’d thought all it would do was raise my Necromancy Power recovery.
But it was giving me a bonus to my dominion power every time we crossed a storage threshold?
This is practically an all-purpose facility.
-Absolutely unhinged, seriously
-That ossuary’s got to be cheating???
-Bonus every thousand units lol this is wild
-Necron Emperor confirmed as an actually broken class
-Getting stronger the more corpses you collect? That’s insane
The chat was erupting with excitement.
“Alright. The choice is made.”
I sank deep into the back of the Imperial Throne and spoke with arrogant confidence.
“We keep grinding.”
-Grinding maniac incoming, everybody applaud!
-Are we going to mine more corpses, brother?
-Spirit Sovereign, aren’t you just never leaving floor one at this rate?
Well, the viewers weren’t entirely wrong.
Floor one’s efficiency right now is absolutely insane.
Mining corpses, gaining levels, dominion power climbing all at once.
There’s really no reason to leave.
“Back to floor one. Entering Small Stone Pile Village.”
And so I headed down to floor one again.
Actually, I hadn’t even spent Necromancy Power the last time.
Other hunters would be gasping for breath after one run, drained dry. Not me.
Once I entered, I surrounded the entire village with my undead legion.
The goblins that spawned were instantly crushed against the undead wall and vanished.
The Hobgoblin General fell again in a single stroke to Heum-gang and Baek-gang’s Combined Technique.
[Dimensional Tower Floor One cleared.]
I ran through floor one again and again in the same pattern.
Leveling up. Collecting corpses. Gathering the equipment the goblins dropped.
[Level increased by 1.]
[Level can no longer increase.]
My level had finally reached 20, hitting the upper limit for floor one progression.
The Necron Ossuary too had reached its capacity.
[Necron Ossuary corpse storage has reached maximum capacity.]
[Current storage: 10,000 / 10,000]
