Chapter 1: wake

[Reshaping the body...]
[Remodeling completed...]
……………………
In a dim tomb, a large number of bodies were stacked.
These bodies have undergone some treatment, for example, the limbs that were cut off at the time of death were stitched together again. There was unknown pus flowing on the ground, and the air was filled with a smell of corruption.
If anyone who has practiced the undead spell comes here, it will surely be found that the transformation of the walking dead is here.
In this corrupt body, an intact body looks so strange, if someone can approach this body, you can also see that his chest rises and falls with breathing.
Suddenly, the body moved, and then sat up slowly, holding his forehead with his hand, his face showing a very painful look.
"Where am I..."
As my thoughts slowly cleared, memory also poured into my mind.
Family, friends, worry-free life, and... cruel skeletons, moving corpses, wailing villagers, casters in black robes...
"My name is Rod, the eldest son of an Orion in Sao village, and a younger sister who had lived a carefree life in the village, but the village was attacked by the Necromancer, the entire village was destroyed, everyone was I was killed. Before I was killed, my final consciousness seemed to see the Necromancer who grabbed my sister and said what a natural hero...she should survive..."
"No... not like this... My name is Rod, a professional player in the 22nd century on Earth, and I am currently in the middle of the most popular third-world virtual online game [Hero Invincible 3]."
"Am I... still in the game? Also, what's going on with this memory?"
As if to verify his conjecture, Rod reached out and touched the ground on which he was sitting, and then quickly lifted his hand from the ground. Rhode looked at his palm silently, with some unknown pus stained on it.
Rhodes stood up and looked around at the surrounding scene.
The dark tombs, the corpses on display, and the roaring sounds from the depths... All kinds of scenes that are hard to see in reality undoubtedly gave Rod a certain number of hearts.
"Sure enough, I'm still in the game... Well, the property panel."
As thoughts rose, a transparent panel appeared in front of Rod.
[Name: Rhodes
Hero specialty: unawakened
Tier: Tier 1 militia level 1 (0/10)
Attributes: Strength 7, Speed ​​6, Constitution 8, Knowledge 2, Spirit 2
Health: 40/40
Mana: 0/0
Experience: 0
Skills: None
Special skills: none
Spell: None]
Looking at his property panel, Rod was lost in thought.
The three basic attributes of adult man’s strength, speed, and physique should be 10. According to the memory of the predecessor, this body should still be in the juvenile stage. The attribute has not grown to the average, and only two points of knowledge and spirit indicate that the predecessor has not become a mage. Talent. Generally speaking, the starting attributes are relatively low, but the predecessor is not very old and has excellent growth.
"In the memory of his predecessor, the village where he lived was destroyed by a powerful necromancer. But according to the pictures I saw in my memory, the so-called undead army actually only has two low-level undead arms, the walking dead and the skeleton soldier. , And the magic cast by the Necromancer is only the lowest level magic magic arrow and slow Dafa."
"The Necromancer relied on the convenience of the night raid, and the ignorance of the villagers' fear of the undead, which successfully broke the village. If it is a frontal attack on the village during the day, the result is not necessarily true."
"This Necromancer is actually just an Necromancer apprentice..."
Judging the identity of the attacker in the village, Rhode's thoughts cleared up suddenly.
"There are only a few purposes for the Necromancer apprentices to attack the village. In general, they are tied to wealth. Whether it is the money in the village, or the value of converting the villagers into an army of undead, they are all needed by the Necromancer apprentices. "
"Everyone in the village was killed... wait, according to the memory of the predecessor, his sister should have survived, a born hero... a hero?"
Rhodes' eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of something.
The key to the invincible world of heroes: heroes. Even if it is an ordinary person, when facing the desperate situation, it can awaken and become a hero under the impact of strong will.
But not everyone can become a hero. More people are at a loss when facing the desperate situation, and can only wait for death to come. A person who becomes a hero must have qualities that ordinary people do not have, either brave or fearless, or determined.
Compared to ordinary creatures of the same rank, heroes can additionally obtain a huge amount of attribute bonuses and growth, as well as a special feature of their own.
"A born hero?...Unfortunately born in such a remote small village, if born in the Kingdom of Elasia, I am afraid that I can make a big difference..."
Suddenly, Rod's spirit was in a trance, and a blood-red panel appeared in front of him.
[Soul Mission: Bloodline]
[Mission Brief: Since the village you live in was destroyed, as your only blood relative in the world, your sister’s whereabouts is unknown. Even if it's death, you can't take away this thought of your loved one, you vow to find your sister back. 】
[Mission Objective: Recover your sister Luo Lin safely within 12 months]
[Failed condition: over time or lost target hero]
[Failure punishment: Soul splits, master personality disappears]

"Okay, come to this world, inheriting this body really has a price. But according to the system's general difficulty and income equivalence principle, although the rewards achieved by the task are not mentioned, it should be the loyalty and inheritance of the hero Rowling. The hidden danger of the body is eliminated."
"Since the apprentice of the Necromancer who attacked the village discovered Rowling as a natural hero, as long as he is not a fool, Rowling will not simply become a undead creature, even if he can get a corpse witch."
"What he will do is either dedicate Rowling to a big lord in return, or send Rowling to a large auction house in exchange for huge rewards."
Rhode made a little calculation in his mind. In short, there were still twelve months. After confirming that Rowling would not be involved in the soul task after the accident, he first figured out his situation.
After everyone is killed in the village, the Necromancer apprentice will carry out a series of finishing work, from the simplest search of the village, to the disposal of corpses to transform undead creatures.
How to deal with corpses to obtain higher-quality undead creatures has always been the research goal of the Necromancer. The simplest is to stitch the wounds of the corpses to reduce the loss of walking dead, and the second is to use various materials to increase the strength of the corpses. But no matter how high it is, it cannot transform the body of ordinary people into corpses or death knights. A truly powerful undead creature must also be powerful during its lifetime.
According to Rhode's observation, the necromancer obviously did well in this regard. The traces of the surrounding corpses were obvious.
Because the apprentice-level necromancer is difficult to transform corpses into undead creatures independently, they can only take the treated corpses to places where the energy of death is rich, let them naturally transform into undead creatures, and finally control them. Natural transformation will depend on how intense the energy of death lasts from days to weeks.
"The corpses around me have shown obvious signs of corpse change, so when the apprentice of the Necromancer came back to activate the fire of the soul, it could become a walking corpse, that is, whether it was to escape before the Necromancer returned or explore the tomb, stay I'm running out of time." Observing the surrounding bodies, Rod came to this conclusion.
