Embrace of the void

Michael found himself in a bewildering situation as the notification window materialized before him, echoing with an unsettling message.

(Awakening Process Malfunction Detected). 

The system has identified that the host's soul comprises two fused entities.

(An individual can only awaken one class.). 

(The first host's soul has awakened the legendary-grade Necromancer class.).

(The second host has awakened the forbidden-grade Void Lord class.). 

The two classes will be merged.

A wave of realization washed over him. His soul in this world had awakened as a necromancer, while his soul from Earth had manifested as a void lord. 

"I know what a necromancer is. I already have enough problems with the kingdom; I don't want to complicate matters further. It's fortunate that the classes will merge," he mused, though his curiosity about the Void Lord lingered. "But what exactly is a Void Lord? It seems to be a higher level than a necromancer. Damn, I wish it had remained a Void Lord." Michael sighed heavily.

""(If I awakened two classes due to the fusion of my souls, shouldn't I also awaken two innate abilities?)"" His excitement bubbled at the thought.

He navigated the notification window to view his status, which revealed:

"What the hell? It seems my soul in this world inherited my parents' affinities, while my other soul unlocked the affinity of the Void. I've never heard of that before."

) Classes Merged Successfully.

Class Obtained: Voidcaller Necromancer. 

The description of his new class unfolded before him: 

{The Voidcaller Necromancer is a unique sorcerer who harnesses the arts of black magic while manipulating the fabric of space and void. This class has the ability to control the dead and summon ethereal beings, all while bending dimensions to their will. Unlike a standard Necromancer, the summoned beings are stronger, capable of independent thought, and can level up—dependent on the proficiency of the class holder.}

The following class skills were acquired:

{ Undead Revival (Beginner)}: Revive a corpse, whether it belongs to a monster or a human, provided that the corpse is not higher than the host by more than one rank.

{Undead Summoning (beginner)}: Store undead in the Void Realm or in your shadow connected to the Void; the capacity increases as rank increases.

{Void Manipulation (Beginner)}: Create cracks and portals for rapid movement through space, including teleportation and trapping enemies in empty voids.

{Shadow Veil (Beginner)}: Conceal oneself and allies in shadows, rendering them nearly invisible for stealth maneuvers.

{Necrotic Rift (Beginner)}: Create a damaging area-of-effect rift filled with necrotic energy, harming all living beings within its radius.

Innate Ability :{ Eternal Evolution}

Description 

Eternal Evolution is a unique ability that allows the user to enhance and transform their undead or pet monsters through continuous exposure to mana and combat experience. This ability enables the summoned creatures to evolve into stronger forms, gaining new skills, attributes, and abilities as they accumulate experience from battles and absorb Mana from defeated foes.

{Adaptive Growth}: Summoned creatures can adapt to their environments and challenges, evolving based on the types of enemies they face and the mana they absorb. This adaptability allows them to develop resistance to specific elements or attacks.

{Skill Acquisition}: As creatures evolve, they can learn new skills and techniques that reflect their experiences in battle. This includes offensive abilities, defensive maneuvers, and even specialized techniques based on the nature of their previous opponents.

{Form Transformation}: The ability allows for significant changes in physical form, enabling creatures to evolve into entirely new species or forms. For example, a basic undead skeleton might evolve into a formidable Skeleton Knight or an ethereal wraith, gaining enhanced strength and agility.

{Resource Dependency}: The evolution process requires specific resources, such as mana cores or rare materials collected from defeated foes. The quality and rarity of these resources directly influence the potential of the evolution.

{Level Cap}: Each creature has a maximum level it can achieve, defined by its base form. However, through Infinite Evolution, this cap can be temporarily exceeded, allowing for unique transformations and powerful abilities that are usually inaccessible.

{Summoner Bond}: The bond between the summoner and their creatures plays a crucial role in the evolution process. A strong emotional connection enhances the evolution rate and effectiveness, leading to more powerful and loyal companions. 

This is incredible! Is this the power of the forbidden class, or is it a result of merging two classes?" Michael pondered. ""How do I get out now?""

(To exit, the host must command themselves to awake.). 

"That simple? Alright, wake up!"

Michael's vision faded to darkness, and he found himself lying in the basement of his house.

 "It seems I'm back," he muttered. "Status!"

A sigh of relief escaped him. "Thank God it's not a dream." 

Feeling the weight of fatigue, he thought, "I need to sleep now." And with that, he fell into a deep sleep, unaware of the fate that awaited him.

The next morning, Michael awoke with memories of his extraordinary night flooding back. "I succeeded in awakening! What's my plan now?"

He resolved to connect with his elemental affinities. Starting with lightning, he closed his eyes and extended his hand, visualizing mana particles. After some effort, a small purple lightning bolt crackled to life in his palm.

"I did it!" His joy was palpable.

Next, he turned to shadow manipulation, attempting to move his shadow. At first, he struggled, but eventually he managed to shape it into a needle-like form.

 "Now for darkness." He concentrated, and a swirling ball of darkness formed effortlessly in his hand.

"So this is the difference in affinity levels," he mused. Controlling darkness is easier than lightning.

"I wish all my affinities were EX," he sighed, oblivious to how absurd that sounded. No one in Aetheria has an EX affinity degree, he thought, feeling a mix of ambition and trepidation.

He hesitated at the prospect of experimenting with the space or void elements. He understood that space could be destructive, while the void felt shrouded in mystery.

"How will I learn to use the void element?" he wondered. As for the other elements, he anticipated many skills and fighting techniques, but the void was an uncharted territory he would have to navigate alone.

Eager to test his new skills in reviving a corpse, he pondered where he might find a suitable candidate. I refuse to let my first companion be weak or lackluster.

"Perhaps I should consult Uncle Matt, but I'll need to explain my intentions regarding the body."

Before heading out to test his strength, he scanned his storage ring for useful items and techniques. Among them, he found several advanced techniques, including those belonging to his father. However, they required a combination of darkness and lightning—an endeavor he knew was beyond his current capabilities.

He settled for two rare techniques instead.

The first was a sword technique called Voltblade Fury. This aggressive and rapid swordsmanship harnessed lightning to deliver devastating blows, emphasizing speed and strength. It was particularly effective in close combat, allowing the wielder to overwhelm fast-moving opponents.

The second technique, {Desolation Barrage}

Desolation Barrage is a powerful technique that unleashes a rapid series of destructive energy projectiles aimed at overwhelming enemies. By channeling mana, the user creates multiple elemental spears infused with destructive force, launching them in quick succession. Each spear strikes with devastating impact, causing widespread damage and chaos in its wake. This technique is effective for both crowd control and targeting specific foes, making it a versatile option in combat.

As he prepared for the challenges ahead, Michael felt a surge of determination. He was ready to embrace his fate and uncover the extent of his newfound powers.
