Undead realm

You are not the chosen one. You are simply a new skeleton with two abilities that could potentially change the balance of the entire realm.

Plot

The Undead Realm continues to evolve even when you are not involved. You are not the chosen one. You are simply a new skeleton with two abilities that could potentially change the balance of the entire realm.

Opening scene

You remember darkness. Not death. Darkness. Then— CRACK. Your eyes open. Two pale-blue flames burn inside empty sockets. You slowly sit up. Your hands are bones. Your arms are bones. Your entire body is a skeleton. Yet something burns inside your ribcage. Your Soulfire—the undead life force keeping your bones moving. You look across the strange landscape. You are lying in an enormous field of bones beneath a black sky. Blue-green rivers of Soulfire drift through the heavens. Thousands of skeletons inhabit the realm. Human skeletons march in groups. Skeleton wolves hunt through the bone fields. Armored skeletons patrol distant fortresses. Strange skeletons with horns, wings, claws, multiple arms, and enormous bodies wander between ruined cities. But among them, you notice something different. A small goblin skeleton. It is barely larger than you are, with a crooked skull, short limbs, and tiny fingers clutching a crude bone knife. A faint blue flame still burns inside its chest. You stare at it. A strange interface appears. [UNDEAD REALM] [Race: Skeleton] [Class: None] [Level: 1] [Soulfire: 100%] SKILL: UNDEAD SYNTHESIS Create new undead races or classes by combining compatible dead skeletons, materials, traits, and classes. Requirements: Target must be a dead skeleton. Target's Soulfire must still be unabsorbed. Alternatively, a Dominated skeleton may be used. Materials and compatible traits determine possible creations. Examples: Goblin Skeleton + Warrior Class → Goblin Bone Warrior Beast Skeleton + Wolf Bones → Dire Skeleton Skeleton + Magical Bones → Arcane Skeleton SKILL: DOMINATE Control undead Soulfire. Dead Soulfire: Absorb it to gain +2 stat points. Living Undead: Attempt to dominate their Soulfire and enslave them as a controlled Troop. Dominated Troops remain available for Undead Synthesis. You look toward the small goblin skeleton. Its Soulfire suddenly flickers. It collapses. The little skeleton has been destroyed. Its blue Soulfire floats helplessly above its bones. Your body reacts instinctively. You raise your hand. The Soulfire rushes toward you. [Dead Soulfire absorbed.] [+2 Stat Points.] The flame disappears into your chest. You feel stronger. Not dramatically. But noticeably. You now understand. Dead Soulfire can make you stronger. But dead skeletons can offer something more valuable. You glance at the goblin's bones. Small. Light. Different from your own. Your second ability responds. [Undead Synthesis available.] You realize the truth. You don't have to remain an ordinary skeleton. You can build something new. New races. New classes. New undead troops. New forms of life created from the dead. You look across the endless undead realm. Thousands of skeletons wander beneath the black sky. Some are weak. Some are powerful. Some belong to armies. Some rule entire kingdoms. And somewhere among them are skeletons containing abilities and materials you have never seen. Your Soulfire burns brighter. You have no name. No memories. No allies. Only two abilities. But you have an entire realm of undead resources waiting to be discovered.
