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

***{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

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

Chapter 57: The Monster Domain [16]
Clinton strode toward his bastion, feeling lighter than he had in days.His hunt had been successful, his weapons had never felt more refined in his grip, and he was finally beginning to grasp the brutal ecosystem of the Monster Domain. He was no longer just surviving; he was thriving now.And he was somehow making it look easy.His undead lips curled into something that would have been a grin if he still had flesh to stretch over his bones.As he walked, he hummed, an old tune from the fragments of his past life.“Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb…”“Mary had a little lamb, and it’s mane was white as snow…”Clinton inclined his head, chuckling. “Was this how it went?”He was carefree, he felt free, he felt powerful.‘Ah, what a beautiful day…’ he thought.But the moment he stepped inside his bastion; the world shifted.Bzzz!It happened instantly.A whisper of air, too quick, too precise.A feeling, like the weight of a thousand unseen eyes pressing on him.Clinton’s i

Vaelin Duskwhisper and Garrick the Red’s POV…It was already days since Vaelin Duskwhisper, the Elvin assassin and Garrick the Red, the human mercenary descended to the Monster Domain as they navigated its treacherous expanse, tracking their target.The Monster Domain was unlike any world they had set foot in before.Vast, untamed, and seething with primordial violence, it was a land that belonged to monsters alone.Even the air itself was different, thicker, charged with an oppressive energy that weighed upon the senses like an unspoken threat.Vaelin Duskwhisper and Garrick the Red had braved many battlefields, but even they tread carefully here.They had entered the Monster Domain days ago, armed with only fragmented clues left in the wake of their quarry- the elusive undead craftsman.Every step forward was a test of endurance and guile, for the deeper they ventured, the more hostile the environment became.Tracking a skeleton should have been simple. Even with no heartbeat, no sce
Chapter 55: The Monster Domain [14]
It was a new day in the Monster Domain.Clinton stepped out of his bastion, his skeletal frame gleaming under the dim light that filtered through the thick canopy of the Monster Domain.Unlike before, when every step had been cautious and wary of apex predators, this time he moved with the confidence of a seasoned hunter.After crafting new weapons, repairing damaged ones, upgrading his best weapon, and repairing his bastion for a whole day yesterday, now, he was ready to enter the depths of the Monster Domain again to hunt.His newly upgraded Magedon, Light Slayer pulsed faintly in his grip, its power source, the very heart of the Dreadclaw Behemoth now fully integrated.With every movement, he could feel the weapon’s latent power thrumming through his bones, waiting to be unleashed.Today was different.No apex predators, no reckless challenges.He wanted just a pure hunt, a methodical extermination of the lesser creatures that roamed the Monster Domain.Today was not a daredevil da
Chapter 54: The Monster Domain [13]
When Clinton forged the Light Slayer, he found himself in a special state of mind that he had never experienced before then.Just after suffering the heartbreak of an identity crisis, shunned and rejected by humans, while dealing with that, he still had to fight for his life against the same humans who came after his life.With his life on the line, he started forging his weapon.He forged Magedon, Light Slayer in a life and death scenario, a special state of mind where the result of his work had the capacity to decide his life and death.Clinton was not in quite that unique state of mind at this moment, but compared to that time, his craftsmanship skills already improved by a lot.Not just that, having accepted his identity as a skeleton already, his conviction when it came to surviving was firmer than ever before.And since crafting a better, stronger weapon would help in his survival, Clinton approached this new test with a determined mind.He entered a special state of focus where
Chapter 53: The Monster Domain [12]
Absorbing the apex power stored in the Dreadclaw Behemoth’s heart was a totally unknown theoretical framework that Clinton had no prior empirical experience with, still he wanted to test it out.And the results?It was actually a success.By absorbing part of the power stored inside the heart, Clinton felt his skeleton physique improve. His bones became denser, harder to break.His energy regeneration also improved.He could now partially store latent energy from fallen enemies, potentially unlocking new abilities in future battles.And finally and most important of all, Clinton felt his connection to the mystical energy of this dungeon become closer than ever before.He could feel it, the subtle connection with the arcane.He shivered in excitement. “Is this… m-magic?” He stammered.Clinton had no idea if he was right but it didn’t matter, the possibility of it alone was enough to leave him extremely excited.Even after all these gains, there was still a lot of power contained inside
Chapter 52: The Monster Domain [11]
By the time Clinton finished harvesting all that he wanted, he had amassed a treasure trove of materials.The mana-infused hide for armor and energy-draining properties, the apex talons, razor-sharp, ideal for forging deadly melee weapons, the Behemoth’s core, a crystallized heart, a potential power source for his mythical weapon, and then the predator fangs, perfect for crafting venomous blades or reinforced spears.Clinton was beyond satisfied.He stood over the ruined corpse, weapons in hand, mind brimming with ideas.The monsters still watched from the distance, but none dared step forward.Not yet.Not while the true predator was still standing.Clinton chuckled.He had hunted an apex.Now, it was time to craft like one.He left.…Clinton returned to his ruined stronghold, standing amidst the crumbling debris, shattered walls, and the remnants of his last battle.His bastion had saved his life, but it wasn’t enough.The Dreadclaw Behemoth had ripped through his defenses, exposin
Chapter 51: The Monster Domain [10]
Clinton exhaled slowly, his sockets glowing with eerie satisfaction.“Not so tough now, huh?”He had done it. He had killed another apex predator, one that was vastly more terrifying than the previous one.And now?If it hadn’t already, now, the Monster Domain would know his name.…The Monster Domain was ruled by savagery, but it was also governed by unspoken laws of nature, one of which was simple.Only fools steal from an Apex Predator.When Clinton had killed the Screecher Fiend, smaller creatures had quickly swarmed its corpse, drawn by bloodlust and scavenger instincts.But now?Now, the monsters of the domain lingered at a safe distance, watching but not approaching. They dared not.They could smell death, but more than that…, they could smell the executioner carrying the mandate of death.The Dreadclaw Behemoth’s killer still stood beside its corpse.And none dared to challenge him for it.For the first time since arriving in the Monster Domain, Clinton truly built a name for
Chapter 50: The Monster Domain [9]
Clinton stood among the rubble, his entire body cracked, shattered, barely holding together.But he was alive.The Behemoth?Buried. Maybe dead. Maybe not. But one thing was certain…It had lost.And Clinton?He had just survived a battle against a terrifying apex predator.He looked around at the damage to his bastion, his supposed safe zone, now torn apart. A slow, dry chuckle escaped him.“Well… guess I need to rebuild”.But as he stared at the ruins, a new thought entered his mind.‘If I could survive that…’‘…What else am I capable of?’…Clinton rested for an hour, and then, he looked at the rubble.He had survived, yes.That alone was a feat no lesser monster could claim in the Monster Domain, but survival wasn’t enough. Not anymore.As he stood amidst the rubble of his bastion, his bones cracked and fractured, his weapons chipped from battle, he knew that this wasn’t over.The Dreadclaw Behemoth still lived.And now, it knew his scent.It knew his tactics.And most worrying of
Chapter 49: The Monster Domain [8]
It was just so easy to get used to living as a beast.In Clinton’s case, as a skeleton.With his bastion secured, Clinton moved through the Monster Domain with newfound confidence.He was no longer just a wandering skeleton, struggling to survive.Now, he had a sanctuary, a stronghold, a place to retreat and regroup if things went south. Which meant he could take bigger risks.Clinton decided to go out hunting again.For hours, he tracked his next target, weaving through the crimson wastelands and fossilized battlegrounds that marked the domain of apex predators.He wanted something stronger than the Screecher Fiend, something that could push him to his absolute limits.Afterall, to him, it was not just a battle for survival again. Clinton already adapted to this world, he was willing to integrate with the ecosystem, and this was what pushed him into the hunt for glory.This time, he was hunting for glory.He wanted to challenge another apex predator.And then, he found it.Or rather…
