How a Catastrophic Necromancer Retired

chapter 3



3 episodes

The 3 Awakening Team walks through the forest in the gate and glances at the back of the stretch.

Behind them, there were skeletons carrying monster by-products and chasing after them.

I said with my eyes shining.

“This is… a possibility.”

Even though the combat command was deleted among the existing commands and only one that chased after them was added, the skeleton was playing the role of a porter quite plausibly.

After all, the attack evasion and movement algorithms are installed by default.

at that time.

A by-product that the skeleton was holding caught on a tree and fell to the floor.

A phenomenon in which the leading skeletons were not able to go through obstacles when I was leading alone.

“I need to increase the evasion radius.”

Anyway, my magic circle is only visible to my eyes, so I created the magic circle without hesitation.

“Link radius of evasion to by-product volume… ok.”

After such a simple tuning, this time, a skeleton carrying the by-products and passing through the trees.

I said with excitement.

“If I hire a skeleton as a porter, I can sit down and make money.”

Although it looks like there are quite a few things that need to be patched, at least it’s much, much easier than making a combat skeleton.

Then the monsters appeared and the Awakened Team was ready for battle.

However, one of the monsters starts to attack the skeleton that is acting as a porter.

Then, according to the command entered in advance, the skeleton started spinning around the Awakened, avoiding the monsters.

I said with a smirk.

“Good good.”

Meanwhile, the Awoken Team, who finished the battle, said with a curious expression.

“Hey… are you comfortable?”

“Well, you don’t have to worry about the porter.”

Combat is also a battle, but the Awakened also has a duty to protect the porter.

But these are lifeless skeletons.

“It would be perfect if you just carry your bag over there and follow me.”

“But what if it gets destroyed?”

Your new complaint.

I pondered for a moment and thought.

‘Destroy it…’

Now that I have it, it is enough to make it again, but what if the customers are dragging a skeleton porter without me and they are destroyed?

Of course, such concerns are experienced by human porters as well, but wouldn’t it be necessary to have something special about the skeleton porter?

“for a moment. bag?”

Why do porters carry bags?

Just for storage.

And bipedal creatures have a body structure that is not suitable for storage in the first place.

‘Wait a minute. If you combine these well…’

I told the Awoken Team.

“Can you wait a minute? I have a good idea right now.”

*

The Awakened Team decided to take a break after receiving Han Ji-hyuk’s request.

“Isn’t that bad?”

“uh.”

“It felt a little bit like the skull followed, but it’s a lot more comfortable than I thought.”

At that time, an Awoken spoke with a regretful expression.

“But it looks like you’re in no good shape, so you’re worried.”

As I walked around with only bones left, I felt like I was about to break even with one hit.

If it is broken, the amount of by-products that can be carried and returned decreases, so the income will naturally decrease.

“It’s free, so let’s enjoy today. If it breaks, I won’t rebuild it.”

“It is.”

While they were having a conversation like that, Han Ji-hyuk dragged something behind him and said,

“You waited a long time.”

“ah. It’s all over…”

The awakened people who turned their heads towards Han Ji-hyeok were at a loss for words when they saw something made of bones following Han Ji-hyuk.

“Hey, what is that?”

A large oval basket made of bones and a skull attached to its front.

And three pairs of boned legs hanging from the bottom of the basket.

Han Ji-hyuk said with a confident expression.

“This is a six-legged walking-carrying skeleton MK.1!”

*

I am a necromancer who is said to be the best in the history of the Seron continent when it comes to undead production.

To me like that, a plug like this isn’t a thing.

I said as I put the by-products the skeleton was holding into the transportable skeleton’s bone basket.

“What if I put it in a basket like this? No fear of falling and it’s perfect. furthermore······.”

I said to the transportable skeleton.

“A monster appears.”

Then, the transportable skeleton’s legs fold gently, and it sits quietly like a real basket.

“Aren’t monsters hostile to moving creatures? However, this is just a basket. You just wait until the battle is over, and when the battle is over, you can say something like this. let’s go.”

Then the skeleton stood up quietly again.

“Then what if I walk like this?”

A transportable skeleton is chasing after me.

“How is it?”

The Awoken opened their mouths at my words.

“Wow······.”

“Is that even possible?”

“You look so comfortable, don’t you?”

“I think I’ve seen something like that. I think they said they were researching gate-carrying robots somewhere in the US and they were developing something similar.”

what?

Are there any competitors?

Of course, I can’t beat the cost performance of my skeleton, but let’s show it clearly.

“Let’s test it first. let’s go!”

“ah. Yes.”

Everyone was looking at my transportable skeleton MK.1 with a curious expression, and while walking down the street, I met another monster this time.

“A monster appears!”

A transportable skeleton that automatically sits quietly at that point.

And the result is…

“nice!”

As expected, monsters don’t even recognize transportable skeletons as enemies.

Rather than a basket, should I say that it looks like a part of a bundle of by-products because there are bones in the by-products stored there?

Thanks to that, monsters that only attack the awakened ones who are running wild in front of them.

“Perfect, perfect.”

He’s the perfect worker for my retirement.

I can be freed from this tedious labor if I only complete the macro and rent it to the Awakened at a low price as a substitute for a porter.

Moved, I gently closed my eyes and said.

“After all, there is no way in the world to die.”

Did I say it works if you’re in trouble?

Eventually I found a new way to get over my annoyance.

So, while I was immersed in emotion, the awakened people who finished the hunt were excited and started to load the monster’s by-products into the transportable skeleton.

“Is this really comfortable?”

“It’s great, it’s great.”

I spoke kindly for the solicitor.

“It is an eco-friendly pet that does not require fuel and does not tire. Please use it with confidence.”

The Awoken asked excitedly.

“How much will you sell this for?”

This skeleton is at a level that can carry at least the weight of three porters.

Then, the cost of one porter is 30,000 won per hour…

“I don’t sell, I just rent. The rental fee is 3,000 won per hour. One of these will be enough for the three porters. Well, depending on how you load it, you may be able to load more.”

The Awoken said with excitement.

“30,000 won per hour?”

“It’s a third of that!”

Is not it?

Is it all honey?

“Please spread the word, then I’ll give you a special price.”

“Uh-huh. You look like a complete merchant, not an awakener.”

If the merchant was more comfortable, wouldn’t he be able to do anything?

I want to make money with ease.

“It’s all loaded.”

“Come on, say one word and I will get up and follow you. ah! I didn’t register my voice.”

I recreated the magic circle and injected new commands into the transportable skeleton.

“Tell me.”

“let’s go.”

Then, at the words of the Awakened, the carrying skeleton rose from his seat.

“Oh oh!”

However, perhaps because too many by-products are loaded, some of the by-products flow down in the process of standing up.

“ah. I must have loaded too much.”

“Um… wait a minute.”

I disassembled one more skeleton, added bones around the basket, and set additional commands.

“Close it.”

The bones then automatically wrap around the by-products in the basket and close.

I spoke as if introducing a new product.

“ruler! This time, it is the 6-legged transportable skeleton MK.2 with an added cover function!”

“Oh oh!”

“For reference, this is an optional fee of 10,000 won per hour. How are you?”

“Satisfied!”

“It’s like a robot!’

good!

This business is unconditional!

I said with a confident look.

“Go! Until we make the perfect transportable skeleton beyond MK.2!”

*

“Why are you asking me to come this way?”

An Awakener heading to a new gate at the recommendation of an acquaintance.

“ah. Is it a gate that has reached the critical point? Are you going to go hunting?”

At the critical point, the gate vomits out the remaining monsters in the gate and disappears completely.

Of course, until the critical point is reached, the Awakened will hunt steadily, but it is common that they cannot completely eradicate even the monsters hidden in the corners.

So, at the critical point, the awakened people gather and kill the monster that vomits out of the gate last.

If I was lucky, I had an opportunity to hunt a lot of monsters in one sitting.

But the friend shook his head and said.

“no. It’s not like that. There are still a few days left.”

“Then why did you come all the way here? There are similar gates in the neighborhood.”

Then an acquaintance smiled and said.

“It’s kind of special here.”

“Is it special?”

“You will see it.”

So the Awoken Team arrived at the gate.

But then, the Awoken who was invited rubbed his eyes and said:

“Hey, what is that?”

An Awoken hands the money to the man sitting at the stall, followed by a strange creature with three pairs of bone legs in a basket of bones.

And the Awakened Team enters the gate with that creature.

“It’s called a transportable skeleton. It’s a summoned animal, but it’s much more convenient and cheaper as a substitute for a porter.”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like that again.”

“Aren’t you curious? So let’s try it.”

“Is it safe? A sudden jump up and attack or something like that…”

“Is that possible? How do you attack when you have no hands? Besides, if it’s that dangerous, people will use it like that.”

“That’s… it is.”

“Let’s go.”

The Awoken Team headed to the stall like that.

The man sitting at the kiosk said, savoring his coffee.

“Umm. welcome.”

“I want to borrow one.”

“I recommend two. Each porter can hold more than 3 luggage, and although it can’t take the place of storage, it has superior storage capacity, so you can bring a whole monster corpse. The cost is 30,000 won per hour. It’s a lot cheaper than renting two for six porters.”

Then the Awoken said with a surprised expression.

“If one dog serves three people, 30,000 won per hour? Not even half the price? Is this for real?”

“Sure. If in doubt, ask other people who have tried it and they will find out.”

Then the Awoken Team, who had already borrowed two of them, raised their thumbs and said:

“Write it down. Especially MK.2. The MK.2 has a cover function, so it can fit 4 people if you load it well.”

Then the man at the kiosk clicked his tongue and said:

“Did you know that it is the customer’s responsibility if it breaks down while exceeding the proper load capacity?”

“a. When I saw it, it was kind of loose.”

“It’s natural because it’s made strong, but please follow the rules of use.”

The Awoken said with a surprised expression at the conversation between the two.

“You mean four people?”

“If that’s enough, can I bring a whole real monster?”

The reason for saving is to pack the most valuable things as much as possible to reduce the burden.

However, it is an all-round transportation equipment that solves all such problems.

The Awoken looked at the man at the kiosk and said.

“What is MK.2?”

“Here is the MK.2 with the cover option attached. An optional fee of 10,000 won is added, and the MK.3 equipped with an automatic collection function is an additional 20,000 won.”

“Uh… what’s good?”

“The MK.2 is the most popular. The MK.3 auto-collection feature isn’t bad, but it’s still in beta, so it’s not perfect.”

“Then give me two MK.2.”

*

“thank you! Happy hunting.”

It is perfect.

You can earn money even sitting down.

“Uh-huh.”

I took another sip of my coffee and pulled out my new portable gaming console to kill time.

“This is Mureungdowon.”

why do you work

You can do it by skeleton.

So much fun.

“You did a good job as a necromancer.”

This is how you earn money by steadily rolling the skeleton.

I’ll make money like that and live while playing taengjatangja.

He suffered enough to do in Seron.

“Let’s see… Shall we play this game this time?”

Just when I was operating the portable game console, a new customer came.

“I want to rent the MK.2.”

I said with an apologetic expression.

“Gosh. Both the basic model and the MK.2 went out. I only have the MK.3.”

“MK.3? Ah-oh. The automatic collection feature is not good.”

“Because it’s still in beta…”

“Can’t I just rent it without the automatic collection function? All you need is a cover.”

“That doesn’t work.”

“ha. I can’t help it. MK.3, please.”

“Yes! thank you!”

Awakenings who are not required but have no choice but to rent.

Option trading is the basic of the basics.

So, while the Awakening Team was forced to take the MK.3 to the gate, I leaned back on the chair and played the portable game console, saying:

“Business is going well.”

So my carrying skeleton business became the hottest item in the neighborhood in an instant.
