Death of an Arrogant Prick; I Reincarnated as a Skeleton? Chapter 23: Back to the world of light
***{You have crafted a low-tier utility tool: Wooden Mask!}***Before embarking on his journey, Clinton did one last thing which was crafting his first utility tool.Despite the fact that for the past few days, the only things dominating in his skull were the decaying forest and its 3 different monsters, Clinton still had something else at the back of his mind, the world of light.He never forgot the world of light where he reincarnated into this world.That sensation of seeing nothing due to the overly bright light, it was traumatizing and when he conjoined it with his encounter against the Holy Knights, it only left him with more mental wounds.Despite his mental wounds though, Clinton was not deterred.He was determined to get stronger and to get stronger, he needed to beat the Gate Guardian which to him was directly proportional to going to that pile of bones to get a new weapon for himself.As for the reason why he took his time to craft a wooden mask?First, it was that sensat
Death of an Arrogant Prick; I Reincarnated as a Skeleton? Chapter 24: A mythical bone?
***{You have come into contact with a mythical tool: Bone of Magedon, the Doom Knight!}{WARNING! You have broken the enchantment of light!}***“…”“…”“…..!”In total silence, Clinton paid attention to the notification that just superimposed with his vision through his miserable undead system.‘Huh?’‘A mythical bone?’Clinton finally raised the bone that he just picked up to look at it.It was the bone of the hand of a skeleton just like himself.He was surprised. ‘This guy, was he an undead skeleton just like me?’‘His name says he’s a Doom Knight, what the hell is that?’He was also curious. ‘Mythical, what does that mean? Is there a ranking for monsters and creatures in this dungeon?’And then he hit his head. ‘F*ck! I should have thought of this before now’.‘In games, there’s a ranking for most things including the power of monsters and creatures. I should have known that a similar setting would be used in this world. F*ck, I’m so slow’. He lamented.Holding this bone at this
Death of an Arrogant Prick; I Reincarnated as a Skeleton? Chapter 25: Is that a human?!
***{You have come into contact with a god relic: Tail Bone of the Winter Dragon, Syrax the Dread!}{WARNING! You have broken the enchantment of light!}***‘Huh?’ Clinton stared in confusion. ‘A god relic?’CLICK!Right at that moment, amid a loud rumbling sound, the majestic door filled with enchanted runes was pushed open from the other side forcefully.Clinton looked, and then he froze.‘I-is that a human?!’What he saw made Clinton’s heart shudder.Out of not just fear, but dread, and also excitement.Clinton felt all these contrasting emotions at the same time because at this moment, before his eyes, he saw a mighty contingent of strange warriors rush into the corridor through the suddenly opened majestic door.As soon as he thought it, his miserable undead system confirmed it for him.Beep!***{Warning! Multiple enemies have been detected!}{You have encountered a Holy Knight! ×8}{You have encountered a level 7 Holy Knight!}{You have encountered a level 8 Holy Knight!}{You h
Death of an Arrogant Prick; I Reincarnated as a Skeleton? Chapter 26: I am no more human
‘Why?’ Clinton barely asked the question when he threw it back at himself, he felt like chuckling in his mind. ‘Why?’ He asked himself.‘I should have known’. He thought.Looking into the eyes of that slim human, Clinton saw an emotion that he recognized, that of an experienced hunter focused on hunting his prey. ‘I should have known,’ he lamented.‘I am such a fool’.‘Maybe it’s because I never had the opportunity to look at a mirror surface yet, or I would react exactly the same way he’s reacting’.‘Back in my previous world, what will I do when I see a dangerous snake?’‘It’s a wild animal, of course I’ll try to kill it immediately’.‘To me, that’s not wrong, it’s only a natural reaction’. He chuckled in his mind at the irony of the situation. ‘To think that one day I will no longer be the human looking revoltingly upon the wild beast, but rather be the wild beast instead’.‘The irony’.‘Worse still, I’m not just any wild beast either, I’m an undead skeleton’.‘What did I expect?’‘
Death of an Arrogant Prick; I Reincarnated as a Skeleton? Chapter 27: Escape from Humans!
Clinton ducked and rolled backward, and then springing back to his feet, he immediately embarked on a sprint.“Stop him! He’s escaping!”Immediately, the contingent of strong human warriors and their Holy Knights raised their weapons as they got ready to attack.The slim human who just attacked him was the one to start the pursuit as ahead of all the others, and with his superior speed, he chased after the skeleton.Despite his speed though, the skeleton did not seem much slower.Clinton may be levels lower than this human but his skeleton body was far lighter than the biological body of the human. It took him less effort to get into stride and start sprinting away.Besides, after spending over a week in the decaying forest already, he was pretty good at running away from things that were stronger than him.Even as the slim human went in pursuit, the other human who was built like a hefty bodybuilder immediately started looking around for something.The next moment, his eyes stopped on
Death of an Arrogant Prick; I Reincarnated as a Skeleton? Chapter 28: The pain of rejection
Thud!Clinton fell back down into the decaying forest, at the edge of this first level of the dungeon where he also collapsed in during his first time here.Like the first time that he collapsed here, Clinton did not move immediately.Sensing no danger behind him, he confirmed that the humans were either too preoccupied with dealing with whatever it was that affected the skeletons or they were too scared to come down here.Well, it worked in his favor because at this moment, Clinton was not in the mood to do anything.He just wanted to sit down like a corpse there, tired and exhausted.Lying down in a pile of dried tree leaves, Clinton looked at the gloomy sky of the decaying forest with his hollow eyes, despair reflecting from the image.At this moment, Clinton was simply tired.And for the first time in both of his lives, this ever exuberant and boisterous personality felt tired of living.The mere thought of it would have pushed him into a fit of laughter in his previous life but in
Death of an Arrogant Prick; I Reincarnated as a Skeleton? Chapter 29: Reconciliation
Clinton was subjected to the greatest reality check of his 18 years of existence.For the first time in his life, he was made to understand that he was nobody.For the first time in his life, he was made to understand where he stood in the grand scheme of things.He was made to understand that he was just a cog in the grand wheel of existence, a cog that could be rejected and discarded at wheel.For the first time in his life, he felt ugly.For the first time in his life, he understood rejection.All these were things and emotions that Clinton had never experienced in his 18 years of existence before now and as expected, experiencing it was draining.“Uhh,” Clinton groaned as his hollow eyes looked at the gloomy skies of this forest. “Now would be a good time to end it all, right?”As soon as he muttered that, he let the seed of thought generate in his head, watered by his emotions as it blossomed into a sapling and then a big tree.The idea of committing suicide was getting more prom

“He’s still alive”.“He’s there”.Clinton raised his head and saw… humans.He raised his head right in time to notice one of the more overenthusiastic humans reveal his head past the boundary of the world of light into the slope, into the boundary of the decaying forest only to be affected by a strange dark power.This power seemed to have rotting properties.“Ahhh!”The young human who seemed inexperienced immediately grabbed his face in horror as the other humans reacted.“You fool, stand still!”Clinton recognized that human. It was the lady among the first 3 humans he met in this world that was a mage.Raising her staff up, she spoke a word as green light left her staff, coalescing on the face of the other human as the strange dark power was expelled.His skin that also started being eroded by the dark power was healed.‘Healing magic’. Clinton deduced immediately. ‘But why?’Thinking deeper into it, he understood. ‘Humans are not allowed in the world of darkness?’He was puzzled

***{Warning! You have encountered a powerful enemy!}{You have encountered a level 5 apex predator of the decaying forest: Ancient Undead Tree!}…{You have killed a level 5 Ancient Undead Tree!}{You have gained XP!}{You have sucked health points!}***Like a hurricane, Clinton with his new weapons went on a rampage in the decaying forest, targeting the apex predators of this ancient forest.The battle against the Ancient Undead Tree was not much different from his encounter with the Lord of the Green Goblins.The only difference was that the Ancient Undead Tree had much more health points than the Green Goblin and its body was much more massive, giving it time to flex most of its power.In the end, what Clinton got was a weapon, not an armor.He could deal devastating damage now did not mean he got inviolable defense with it. One hit from the level 5 apex predators could still leave him on the brink of death, this was why he was extra careful.Even more with an opponent like an un

Chapter 35: When there's a will, there's a way!
***{You have activated active skill: Spear Thrust!}***In one smooth motion after shrugging off the grasp of the humans, the skinny skeleton thrust forward at the wall with the suddenly shiny bone in his hand.His hand thrust with so much force that a mini sonic boom was induced.The bone was no spear but at this moment, Clinton was able to wield it like one.The bone hit the wall, and then…KABOOM!Force was transferred, and the wall collapsed.“…”“…”“…..!”Clinton’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he saw the scene that suddenly played out before his eyes as his current reality.‘H-how? What the f*ck!’‘Did I just do that?!’‘Did I just tear down the walls of this cave with a single strike?’The mere thought of it sent tingling feelings of excitement through his bones.This was no simple achievement.Afterall, this was not any cave in the decaying forest. This cave was the home and lair of one of the most destructive and sturdy existences in the decaying forest, a level

Chapter 33: Battle in the cave
‘Huh? How am I even supposed to do this?’While Clinton asked this question in his mind, the Stone Ogre who was frustrated to see that it was not crushing the tiny creatures before it suddenly jumped, hitting the roof of this cave then it came crashing back down with force.It hit the ground with devastating force, then…KABOOM!…Earthquake Stomp!Hitting the humans with one of its trademark active skills, this powerful Stone Ogre caused a literal earthquake as the humans staggered.Watching the tiny creatures stagger disorderly, some even panicking, the Stone Ogre’s eyes gleamed deviously as it chomped down with its sharp stone teeth at one of the humans.But at the last moment, a dagger crossed its path.Clang!The clear ringing sound of 2 hard objects colliding reverberated.It was the level 12 human.In the world of this dungeon, to combat the powerful beasts, humans evolved, awakening different powers under myriad classes.Some awakened as mage classes, others as assassin classes

Chapter 32: In the lair of a level 5 Stone Ogre
In the decaying forest, what were Stone Ogres?Stone Ogres were the most terrible of the 3 types of monsters that took the first level of this dungeon, the decaying forest as their home.The Green Goblins were the weakest, their main weaknesses being their vulnerable skin and weak strength.It was why they hurdled together in the biggest packs.The Undead Trees had tough hides but this was undone by their blatant weakness to fire. With fire, they become vulnerable.As for the Stone Ogres though, they were the real OGs of the decaying forest.They had stone skin as tough as nails. They were slow, but their impenetrable defense more than made up for it.They were literal tanks.Of the 3 types of monsters in the decaying forest, the Stone Ogres were the only types brave enough to move alone around this forest, even the lower-leveled ones. They were scared of no one.In a way, they were the apex predators of the decaying forest.And right now, Clinton was now hiding in the lair of one of

Though he carried the best of the best with him there, he still had a stockpile of weapons in his safehouses under a mound of sand.After losing his best weapons, he now set his sight on the reserve.Rush
