The Third Return of the Necrotic Magic Swordsman

[11th April 2024]

Evan, who was now attending school without his phone, had become accustomed to the change as his dreams no longer disturbed his nights, allowing him to sleep well.

The money he earned from selling his first ID was put to good use; half was donated to an orphanage, and the remainder was spent on gifts for Jason and Rossy.

Strangely, these days, he felt a sense of well-being, as if something he had lost was returning to him.

He felt more energetic and refreshed with each passing day, a change he couldn’t quite comprehend, and when he inquired with friends and family, they assured him everything was normal.

Setting these thoughts aside, he reflected on the pro gaming league match he had watched the day before. To his surprise, one of the teams featured a player with a unique elemental ID, who, coincidentally, was the person who had purchased Evan’s shadow element ID. Now, this player’s name was becoming well-known across various gaming communities.

Despite his anonymity, everyone criticized Evan for selling his ID to this player, unaware that the buyer had chosen not to disclose the name of his benefactor.

Evan was astounded to see that the guy had become a pro player with the ID; his sync rate with the ID was so high that he was named MVP of the day.

Someone once said that a person receives what destiny has in store for them, and it seemed he wasn’t meant to play with that ID. Now, he has a far superior one.

His new ID was the mythical ’Element of Life.’

His friends were stunned. How could anyone receive such a superior element in life? They even joked that he must be the son of the company owner to get such amazing elements, but the truth was, he was just fortunate.

The skills of his new ID included Heal, HP Transfer, and Revive. The normal skill allowed him to revive himself or another, while the ultimate skill could revive the entire squad if he was alive. He also had attack skills like ’Life Arrow Rain’ and a passive ’Drain Effect,’ which sapped the enemy’s health bit by bit over ten seconds, with a fifteen percent chance of taking effect.

His class was truly overpowered compared to the unique class.

Evan, ever the calm one, couldn’t help but feel envious.

He grinned as he remembered the faces of his friends. They were somewhat jealous of his luck and skills, yet still pleased to have him as a valuable team member, knowing Evan wouldn’t leave them so easily.

Evan chuckled to himself, causing passersby to stare as if he were a fool, which embarrassed him, and he hurried away.

Arriving at his school, he found James waiting for him.

The school was abuzz with pride as the final session of classes, where Evan and his friends were enrolled, was nearing its end, with the fifteenth of April just days away. After that, they would take their final exams, which would determine their futures.

Evan felt prepared; his studies were nearly complete, needing only a bit more revision before he could declare himself ready.

”Hey bro, I was waiting for you,” James greeted him with a hug. After chatting for a while, they walked into the school, encountering Mr. Peter, who was there to check on the students.

They both bowed to Mr. Peter out of respect and moved on, beginning to wait for Rey, who was late once again.

They both knew that if Mr. Peter caught Rey arriving late again, he would be in trouble.

Rey still hadn’t arrived, and the time to close the gates was drawing near.

Both Evan and James were aware that Rey was about to be reprimanded, just as the gates were about to close.

Someone stopped it by sticking his hand into it.

Indeed, it was Rey, who was taking such deep breaths that he resembled a marathon runner.

”You still seem to be late, Mr. Dragonstorm,” Peter remarked as he saw him entering through the gate.

”Oh, sorry sir, I was delayed by some traffic,” Rey offered his excuse, which he doubted would work, but he decided to try it anyway since everyone else did.

”So nowadays, even pedestrians encounter traffic, huh? Well, I’ll have to discuss this with the government then,” Peter retorted sarcastically, overshadowing Rey’s excuse.

”Okay... I apologize, sir. I was late last time and it won’t happen again, so please let me off this time,” Rey pleaded honestly.

”Hufff~~~~~ Rey, I understand you have many responsibilities, but you need to be attentive and prepare for your future, as it may not be as bright as others’,” Peter advised, letting him go for the moment. From the way he looked at him, Rey knew he was spared to save face, but he was certain a lecture or punishment awaited him in Peter’s office.

He walked away to find his friends waiting for him.

”Hi guys, good to see you both,” Rey greeted them as he joined them.

”Hey, bro, did Mr. Peter give you a hard time?” James inquired with a smirk.

”Nah, it’s just my everyday routine,” Rey dismissed as Evan sighed at his friend’s naivety regarding the teacher’s anger.

They all walked away, and after a brief conversation, they separated to attend their classes.

Rey distanced himself from his group and arrived at his class. He entered and took his seat, but today, something was different about him; he was muttering to himself, gazing into the empty air above him.

He seemed to be conversing with someone unseen, which startled the others sitting nearby, prompting them to decide against engaging with him.

Little did they know, he was indeed speaking to someone – whether it was a ghost or something else, that remains unrevealed in this story.

{To discover what happened to him, read my second book ’RISE OF THE HOLY DEMONIC GOD.’ It’s equally thrilling and exciting, so don’t fear, the real show is just beginning.}

He fell silent when his classroom teacher entered, and they began their studies. Rey was among them, yet occasionally, he would speak as if someone was bothering him.

His three periods were consumed by this, and his last period before lunch was with Mr. Peter, who taught the class while keeping a watchful eye on Rey, who was unusually attentive.

After class, as Peter was about to leave, Rey was relieved not to be punished, but then his nightmare returned.

”Rey, come meet me in my classroom in five minutes,” Peter called out, drawing the attention of all the students to Rey, who, with a pained expression, began walking towards the office.

Some boys gave him sympathetic looks, while others, including a handsome boy named Jonny, were pleased. Jonny was eager to witness Rey’s punishment but didn’t want to risk getting caught, so he refrained.

Rey walked out of the class under everyone’s gaze, but his absence went unnoticed as everyone returned to their own activities.

As Rey left, someone entered the room, the door slamming shut with a loud thud.

But who it was that come running in here like this, is it Rey who came back in fear or someone else, it can be only found in next chapters so be attentive and see you later.
