[ Chapter II (2): "THE POWER OF BEING A NECROMANCER" ]
Felix had played many games before the Apocalypse.
He knows how formidable, and difficult it is to fight a Necromancer Class enemy.
Monster, or human, doesn't matter. As long as they are classified as a Necromancer, then they are trouble— most of the time being bosses.
That takes concentration, resources, and power to defeat.
But to him who has never experienced playing as one, other than those times when he would get to play as one, albeit heavily weakened: about one-tenth of the original power of the boss monster being lost.
Until now that is.
He grins as he continues on to watch the Goblins feast, unaware of what's happening behind them.
[ — kiikiii! ]
[ — ikikkii! ]
[ — ikkkiki!! ]
Two Goblins fought for a spot, not caring about one another's welfare. Biting, clawing, and punching one another, but not to the point of killing one another.
While this is happening, the others ate, not caring about the two.
The weaker of the two lost, the said Goblin being kicked and tossed around on the ground below.
[ — kiiki! ]
Grunting, it picked up itself, reluctant to give away its rightful spot.
But sadly, Goblins don't value the feelings of the weak. So they didn't pay any more attention to him.
About to go back and feast, on what they call a lesser spot.
It stopped suddenly.
Not out of its own accord, but due to something else.
[ — kii? ]
Looking down, at its feet. It noticed something weird, a hand of another Goblin gripping its feet; though this one had slash marks, wounds, and dirt around it.
A weird thing because, usually Goblin wounds heal no matter how severe, how life-threatening it is, as long as they eat their fill.
Curious, the Goblin looked at where the hand was coming from and instantly froze in fear.
[ CACKLE ]
The owner of the hand which is wrapped around the Goblin's feet, is someone it knows personally— and had witnessed die minutes back.
Dagger on the other, the deceased "Goblin" smiles at the alive Goblin, at its former kin; teeth cackling as it does.
[ — ikiikiii!! ]
Releasing a loud shriek, the Goblin tried alerting its others who are busy in eating rather than paying attention to what's happening.
But to its dismay, it didn't seem to work.
The "Goblin" which is on the ground pulled its previous kin on the floor, before ultimately stabbing it in the chest multiple times. Releasing black blood, and much more louder shriek in the process.
[ — ikikiiikkiiiiiii!!! ]
This time having finally alerted the remaining Goblins, making them look at the noise where it came from.
They looked on and noticed their kin being stabbed repeatedly at the back of the head, with a rusty dagger. Then at the "Goblin" which is doing the said stabbing; and in seeing who it was, they fell in a state of shock.
But before they could even do anything other than open their boar meat filled mouth, they were even more surprised about the other two supposed dead "Goblins" that are looking at them with hatred.
The first Goblin in finally feeling satisfied stood up, bloodied dagger on one hand as it stood up, eyeing the Goblins who were on top or near the Giant Boar's carcass.
It looked at each one of the shocked Goblins before finally; [ CACKLE ] The deceased "Goblin" raised its bloodied dagger, and pointed it to the Goblins, challenging them to a fight.
In which the other two deceased "Goblins" on its side agreed onto as well.

[ "As they should." ]
Felix thought to himself as he peeks out the window, watching the anticlimactic drama that's unfolding outside.
Thirteen Goblins vs. three Reanimated Goblins.
Who will win?
Hopefully the latter, if not, then Felix's gonna die.
But, hey. At the very least his suspicion that the System, Necromancer Class, Reanimated Skill, and any of that bullocks may have just been a figment of his imagination have been shattered.
And now, with both of his eyes, he could confirm that, yeah.
Everything that was said, given, and read is true.
The System wasn't lying.
He really is a Necromancer now.
That, or the three deceased Goblins that he imagined rising up from the ground and fighting for him, just you know, decided to rise up without his interference and kill their kin.
There is still that little almost zero percent possibility of that being the case. But he ignores it at the moment, as he instead focuses his attention below; at the drama unfolding.
[ "This is prime time television." ]
[ "Haven't been entertainment since... Before the Apocalypse." ]
Hell, he hasn't been entertained like this since ever.
Wielding this type of power felt exhilarating to Felix.
He thought to himself as he subtly tries to influence his... Reanimated Goblins; [ "Target that one wielding a metal bar." ] He assessed the situation, and realized that it'll be the weakest out of them all. Which seems to have work.
[ — kiikiii! ]
[ CACKLE ]
The Goblin who's wielding a metal bar immediately felt fearful, as it should. As the three Reanimated Goblins looked at it, and without fear, without hesitation, and without care about their own well-being since they are already dead.
They tackle the metal bar wielding Goblin, without care about the other stunned Goblins.
Mauling the little monster, stabbing it, and even eating its flesh.
And under the shocked gaze of the Goblins and Felix, they healed— albeit slowly and barely noticeable.

At the same time, the System alerted him on what was happening via text, obscuring his vision and souring his mood in the process.
Annoyed, he glanced at the text and swipe it to the side. Which moved,causing it to not block his vision on the fight any more.
[ "That's much better." ]
[ "Don't worry about death." ]
[ "Kill them all." ]
He commanded the Goblins, whispering the words to himself. But the command to the Reanimated Goblins is absolutely clear— and that'll be to murder each and every single one of the Goblins with the best of their abilities.
And follow it they did, pouring all their might on the next Goblin uncaring about the damage.
[ CACKLE ]
[ — kikiiiki!! ]
[ — kikiiikii! ]
[ CACKLE ]
A Goblin froze out of his shocked state and grabbed his sword, stabbing the Reanimated Goblin that was about to pounce on it with a dagger.
It momentarily grinned to itself, finally killing one. But that stopped when it noticed the latter unscratch, and unbothered; causing the Goblin to shriek in fear.
Letting go of his sword which is now stuck in-between the eyes of the Reanimated Goblin, the latter seemingly not faced at all, as it continued on from where it left off— pouncing on the terrified Goblin.
