Game Invasion: Awakening the Necromancer at the Start

Professor Chen was leading the group, followed by a team of researchers in white protective suits and a fully armed special forces unit.

Seeing the horrific scene, everyone gasped in horror.

"My God..." Professor Chen pushed up his glasses, "Wang Tianxiong... is he really dead?"

"They're dead." Su Wan nodded. "I also interrupted the ritual. But the necromantic energy here needs to be dealt with, otherwise it might breed new undead creatures."

"Don't worry, leave it to us." Professor Chen immediately directed the researchers to begin their work.

He walked to Su Wan's side and whispered, "You completed this mission better than expected. Headquarters has decided to upgrade your merit reward to the highest level, 8000 points."

8000 merits!

That's enough to exchange for two epic-level equipment pieces, or a legendary-level skill book!

"Furthermore..." Professor Chen looked at Su Wan with a complicated expression, "Regarding your talent, headquarters hopes you can cooperate with an in-depth test. Of course, this is under the premise of absolute safety and voluntariness."

"Testing what?"

"Test your limits," Professor Chen said seriously. "For example... how many summons can you control? How fast does your mana regeneration rate? Can your summons continue to evolve?"

Su Wan remained silent for a moment.

Revealing too many cards does indeed carry risks.

On the other hand, only by demonstrating sufficient value can one obtain more resources.

Moreover... he joined the Dragon Group with the intention of using the power of the country to grow rapidly.

"Okay," Su Wan finally nodded, "but I have a few conditions."

"you say."

"First, my sister must be present during the testing process."

"Second, all test data must be encrypted and only those with the highest privileges can view it."

"Third, I need corresponding resource compensation, such as high-grade energy crystals, skill upgrade scrolls, and rare materials."

Professor Chen smiled: "These are not problems. Headquarters' intention is... as long as you are willing to cooperate, there will be plenty of resources."

"That's good."

As the two were talking, a researcher suddenly exclaimed, "Professor! Come quick!"

Professor Chen walked over and saw the researcher pointing to a stone slab in the center of the magic circle.

The stone slab is engraved with ancient characters, neither modern Chinese characters nor any known ancient script.

But the moment Su Wan saw those words, the corresponding meaning suddenly popped into her mind.

That's the "Netherworld Rune" exclusive to the Necromancer class!

"What does it say?" Professor Chen asked.

Su Wan was silent for a few seconds, then slowly spoke:

"This is a contract."

"Three hundred years ago, the Wang family's ancestors made a pact with a certain being in the 'underworld,' exchanging the souls of their descendants for the prosperity of the family."

"And this ceremony... is the final stage of the contract."

"Wang Tianxiong sacrificed three hundred souls not to summon the Lord of Death."

"But it's to... open a passage to the underworld."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

The underworld?

What place is that?

After the game invaded reality, humanity learned about the abyss, the demon realm, and various other worlds.

But the underworld... I've never heard of it.

"The underworld..." Professor Chen murmured, "If that's really the case, then things are serious."

He looked at Su Wan: "Can you understand these words?"

"Yes." Su Wan didn't hide anything. "My profession... is a bit special."

Professor Chen gave him a deep look but did not press further.

"I will report this to my superiors." He said solemnly, "Su Wan, you have done a great service this time. If the 'Underworld' really exists, then our understanding of the entire game world will be overturned."

Su Wan nodded.

He actually understood what the underworld meant better than Professor Chen.

The profession of Necromancer originates from the underworld.

Or rather... he is one of the rulers of the underworld.

If the underworld truly exists and is connected to Earth, then what will the future hold...?

"elder brother."

Su Li's voice came from the entrance.

She jogged in and, seeing Su Wan unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared... The energy fluctuations were so intense just now, I thought..."

"It's alright." Su Wan rubbed her head.

Looking at the dead people on the ground, Su Li lowered her eyes slightly. Those 300 souls to be sacrificed were all ordinary people.

Some people were still wearing their construction site clothes, while others were still wearing their school uniforms.

But that's just how the world is—survival of the fittest—it was destined from the moment the game invaded it.

All he can do is become stronger and then protect the people he wants to protect.

"Let's go." Su Wan took Su Li's hand. "Leave this to the military. Let's go back and rest."

"Um."

The two left the underground space.

As she walked outside the manor, Su Wan looked back.

The Wang Family Manor was brightly lit at night, but the usual hustle and bustle was gone.

This family, which once held immense power in Jiangcheng, was completely destroyed because of one wrong choice.

But Su Wan knew that this was just the beginning.

Behind the Wang family lies the "Eye of the Abyss," the Underworld, and countless unknown threats.

"Become stronger..." Su Wan clenched her fist. "I must become stronger even faster."

Sensing her brother's determination, Su Li nodded earnestly, "I will work hard too! From now on, I want to fight alongside my brother, instead of just hiding behind and worrying!"

Su Wan smiled and ruffled her hair.

"it is good."

Under the night sky, the two walked away side by side.

Behind them were military vehicles and searchlights, and ahead lay an unknown tomorrow.

But Su Wan felt no fear.

Only perseverance.

The next morning, at the Jiangcheng Military Sub-district Headquarters.

Su Wan stood in front of a heavy alloy door, on which an electronic screen displayed the words "[S-level permission verification passed]".

"This is the military's treasury." Professor Chen stood beside him, his expression serious. "Based on your contributions to this mission, headquarters has granted you special permission to enter the treasury and choose three items. Remember, there are only three; choose carefully."

The door slowly opened, revealing a spacious and bright space.

It wasn't the dark, gloomy warehouse you might imagine, but rather a high-tech exhibition hall.

The exhibition hall is divided into several areas, each separated by an energy barrier:

[Area A: Equipment (Blue-Purple Quality)]

[Section B: Skill Books]

[Section C: Materials]

[Sector S: Special Items/Legendary or Higher]

The interior of the vault is much larger than it appears from the outside, clearly due to the use of spatial folding techniques.

Several researchers in white coats were recording data. When they saw Professor Chen and Su Wan enter, they simply nodded and continued working.

"Let me show you around first." Professor Chen led Su Wan toward Area A.

Section A displays hundreds of pieces of equipment, including weapons, armor, and ornaments.

Su Wan's gaze swept over the pieces of equipment that glowed with blue or purple light:

【Frost Staff (Purple)】: Spirit +25, Ice skill effect +30%, with the skill 【Frozen Domain】.

【Dragon Scale Armor (Purple)】: Constitution +30, Physical Defense +200, Fire Resistance +50%.

【Boots of Swiftness (Blue)】: Agility +15, Movement Speed ​​+40%, with the skill 【Swift Step】.

All of it was good equipment, but Su Wan didn't stop.

He currently has the Shadow Robe and the Embrace of the Dead, so he doesn't lack equipment for the time being.

Section B contains skill books.

Skill books for each profession are neatly arranged, ranging from common to epic levels.

Su Wan's eyes lit up when she saw a skill book called "Summon Hellfire (Epic)".

Hellfire is a high-level summoned creature of the Undead faction, possessing powerful attributes and a built-in [Sacrifice Aura] that deals continuous damage to surrounding enemies.
