The Cheat Seed - Chapter 48
[New skill Learned: Necromancy]
[Skill Perfected: Necromancy]
“Eh?”
Marcus snapped his head back as the system said…but soon his eyelids went round when he saw something small, glowing, and appearing from the seawater.
It was the dead scorpion he had thrown into the water. Marcus was not an Idiot so he understood what was happening. Marcus knew it was because of his orders that these skills were created, which meant he could be the first-ever Omnivoker!!!.
“I am a Necromancer, Tamer, Soul wielder as well, that fills in the first three letters of The Omnivoker’s Code. NTS!!”
Marcus said.
He looked at the Scorpion levitating above the water. But it wasn’t the Scorpion’s original body instead it looked like a Blackish wisp which took the form of the scorpion’s original body.
Marcus motioned it to come closer and it did!. The wisp landed on the sand and started shuffling towards its master.
Marcus held out his Palm open and the scorpion understood him and jumped onto his palm.
Marcus looked at the scorpion. A notification suddenly popped up on top of the scorpion’s head.
He read it out.
“Black Wisp Scorpion
LvL : 5
Attack : 3
Defense : 2
Skills : Sting (Normal)
Modify is currently not possible.”
His eyebrows perched when he read the last line.
“What’s Modify?”
Marcus said and fell into deep thought.
His inner bulb sparked when an assumption formed inside his mind.
“Maybe…Just maybe…I can Evolve the Necromancer skill”
Marcus spoke to himself. His memory struck once again to the first trial Dungeon.
“That’s it”
Marcus shouted as he banged the sand beside him. He let the scorpion lay down beside him and called out to the system.
“System!!”
[Yes?]
“Is there anyway??? Just any possible way I can go back in time??.. Or at least do things inside my previous memories ???”
[No]
“…”
Marcus went silent and was about to give up after a minute or so, but the system spoke inside him once again just as he was about to.
[There’s No way you can go back in time…Yet…..But you can go back to your memories mentally for 30 minutes only 3 times a day.]
[And you can conjure or bring anything back to the present as well]
“That’s cool…Tell me how to do it”
[Ah, It’s easy, just picture the memory you want to go back to and say Regress]
Marcus closed his eyes and forced his mind under his control and finally found the correct time inside his memory to go back to.
Going back to his memory mentally meant that only his soul went away to his memory but his body stayed back.
“Regress!!!”
…….
Marcus opened his eyes to darkness. He was floating in the air inside the abyss. He saw his old self fighting Ogrettos one by one.
But this was not the time to barge In. His system had already reminded him not to reveal himself to himself inside the memory. That meant he could not for any reason show himself to Marcus in the memory. If that happened, the memory circle will break and the soul could get trapped in the memory forever…..Unless or until a miracle happened.
Marcus waited for the other Marcus in the memory to land the final blow. Just after five minutes the Memory Marcus landed the final blow and destroyed everything.
Honestly Even Marcus himself cowered back when he saw the level of destruction he had caused.
The Marcus in the memory vanished in front of him after a minute or so. He must have teleported to the second dungeon.
Marcus slowly landed himself on the respawned piece of land. Having the body source was not necessary for a Necromancer. Only a part of the Soul was needed to bring the dead back to life.
Every dead body leaves a soul piece behind its last resting place and it stays there permanently. The Necromancer at a certain level could easily sense it and hence bring the dead back to life. (But remember bringing back the original body is impossible)
All Marcus could sense now was death around him, Thousands of souls looked at him in mercy.
Marcus knew about Necromancers and the way to bring the dead back to life. It was taught in a lesson during his class time.
“First I need a trademark word to call them back to life”
Marcus said as he remembered the class taken by one of his favorite professors.
He spent time thinking about a word to call the Ogretto army back to life.
His eyes sparked soon enough.
“Let’s go with something simple…..RESURRECT!!”
Marcus shouted as he spread both of his arms forward. He was dead center in the piece of land and he felt the land vibrating at the core. Black wisps materialized in the air and yellow devilish eyes glared at him.
The Wisps changed into something black and Shadow – ish. It took the form of an Ogretto. Yellow type of flames waved from its shoulders and their bald head seemed to have shadow hair which waved from side to side.
[New Skill Evolved: Necromancer]
[The skill has evolved due to the resurrection of a God ranked monster]
[Skill Evolved to Universal Prophet]
[Skill Abbreviated to UP (Universal Prophet)]
He jumped up in the air and fisted the air delightfully. He knew this would work and it did!!!.
Marcus looked around him, he was surrounded by Ogrettos. He felt like the chieftain of the Ogretto army. It was something that exhilarated his spirit.
At the word Chieftain, he remembered about the Alpha Ogretto. Marcus floated in the air and looked around him, He soon spotted an Ogretto shadow with a war helmet on its head in the crowd.
Marcus motioned it to come forward and it flowed his command. It stepped close to him and bowed down on one knee.
Marcus chuckled when he read the Status window of the Ogretto.
“Black Wisp Ogretto Alpha”
LvL : 80
Attack : 20 Billion per strike

“Modify available…”
“It’s Level 80 already??, Expected of a God Ranked Monster”
Marcus said and turned around to read the status of a Normal Ogretto.
“Black Wisp Ogretto Warrior”
LVL: 60
Attack: 2 billion per strike
Defense : 1 Ceptillion
Skills : Monster strength (A rank)
Ultra durability (A Rank)

“Modify Available…”
The stats of the Soldier Ogrettos were also very impressive. 2 of them could take down a Monarch seed easily. He had a thousand of them here. But Marcus wasn’t interested in anything other than that one option which was ‘MODIFY’
Marcus sat at the very center surrounded by his new army of MONARCH ranked beasts!!. He started thinking about Modify, its meanings, and the various way something can be modified.
The first thing he got inside his mind was to change the shape of one’s body.
Marcus looked at an Ogretto close at him and imagined the Ogretto having spiky hair with cooling classes and a parka, the bottom was a 3/4th shorts and it wore sneakers. He imagined it having bulging biceps and 8 packs visible through the transparent torso of the parka.
Just after his thought, the Ogretto he looked at started glowing.
Marcus laughed when he saw the same Ogretto he thought about in front of him. It was true he could modify something like that, but it wasn’t something he was interested in.
He smirked as soon as another thought crept inside his mind.
“To become a God Slaying Monster, You have to have a Level above 500, don’t you?? Rolak?”
[Successfully named God Ranked Ogretto]
[Name: Rolak]
[Thinking ability set to 80% by User]
Marcus had just thought it now but it happened right in front of his eyes. He knew he could also give thinking abilities to his Monsters so that they could converse and he also had an intuition that he could name them as well, but he still wasn’t sure about ‘That’ idea.
“Yes Master, I have to cross the threshold of Level 500 to become a God Slayer ranked Demon”
Rolak said.
“Aha, So you finally talked and how did you know that I was asking about you?”
Marcus asked with a grin.
“That was easy Master, I am the strongest amongst my other brothers so it was easy to figure out”
Rolak flashed a ‘Tooth’ full grin at Marcus.
Marcus smirked. 80% of thinking ability and it’s already intelligent than an average educated human.
“I have an idea to make you go past that threshold Rolak, I can’t promise that it’ll work or not, Are you ready to take the risk Rolak”
“With Pleasure, Master. And thank you for your concern”
Rolak replied politely keeping his right fist balled at his chest, showing his loyalty.
“Ah welcome. This can be crazy, but we won’t know until we try”
Marcus floated into the air once again and looked around. He could confirm he had more than 1000 Ogrettos standing on the land.
He grinned as he marked the first 10 Ogretto soldiers as he landed.
“Modify”
All ten of them deformed into black smokeballs and slowly came together to form a big blackish wisp.
Marcus moved the smoke ball with his Manipulation skill and brought it closer to the Alpha Ogretto. He took a deep breath in and grinned.
“COMBINE”
