God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Keith spent the next few hours playing with Miya and Hannah before leaving. He floated up in the sky, invisible to all eyes as he watched his world.

'Let's finish upgrading his skills first...' Keith thought as he got to work. He had spent most of his mental energy before sleeping, but now that he had recovered, he could spend even more.

He spent a bit of his mental energy to upgrade the last two necromancy skills and once he was done, he sent out a system announcement.

[System Administrator: Keith asked god to help you with your skills so here you go, new skills for you and more work for me.]

[Bone Manipulation has been upgraded to Grade SSS]

[Undead Summoning has been upgraded to Grade SSS]

[System Administrator: You should now have a way to make yourself a physical arm.]

Gerald looked at Alpha and Beta after he was done reading the contents on the system screen.

"I have a few things I want to experiment with... feel free to watch if you want." he said and walked a few meters away from them before he used his second skill.

"Undead summoning huh?" he muttered as he raised his hand slightly and with a simple thought, nine skeletons appeared out of nowhere.

Each one of them had black bones, sharp claws and sharp teeth. No one knew how the lower grade skill would have worked, but Keith didn't care as he watched everything happen from top.

"You guys... jump up." Gerald said and they did as they were told. All the skeletons jumped up and landed perfectly on their feet before looking at Gerald as if waiting for their next command.

Gerald thought for a bit and pointed at the group, "Fight against yourselves until only one of you is remaining."

The moment his words left his mouth, the skeletons got to work as they grabbed, pushed, pulled, punched and killed each other without any restriction.

Time quickly passed but everyone watching the fight came to one conclusion; The soldiers could recover easily, almost like they were immortal.

"Unless..." Gerald muttered as he created an ethereal hammer that was huge and brought it down on the group, crushing them and breaking their bones. Or at least that was what he had expected.

While the group of skeletons did have their bones pulled out of their joints, the bones themselves weren't damaged. They attached back without wasting any time and continued fighting among themselves.

'Okay, I don't think I have the ability to test their durability anymore but let's see....' he thought and gave out his next orders.

"Stop fighting and make me some fish soup."

The skeletons stopped fighting, but they didn't move an inch after that.

Gerald glanced at the pond nearby, the place where new fishes appeared mysteriously everyday.

Seeing that the skeletons didn't move, he changed his command.

"Go to that lake and catch a fish for me." he said and the skeletons ran this time.

They bravely jumped into the lake and drowned to the bottom, finding themselves unable to come back up no matter what they did since the mini lake was way too deep.

Gerald saw this and nodded to himself, "So they can't swim huh? Alright..." he said and de-summoned them using a simple mental command.

He summoned them once again and this time, he caught a fish on his own before placing it on the ground in front of his skeletons.

"Make me some fish soup." he said and the skeletons didn't move. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"Alright, not just simple commands but it's more like these things can only do simple tasks." he muttered and nodded to himself before using bone manipulation on one of the skeletons.

At first, he found it slightly hard but in just a few minutes, he got he hang of it and was able to control the skeleton the way he could control his own body.

"Feels great... but now it's time to control all." he muttered and took control of all the nine skeletons.

Like before, he felt like this was hard but he wasn't able to get used to it quickly.

'A little more practice and I should be able to do it...' he thought as he moved to test his next skill, only to find out that all his other skills needed a corpse.

He grabbed the fish with his ethereal hand and used another ethereal hand to cut his own skin. Necrotic healing was instantly used and Gerald saw the cut close itself up and heal right in front of his eyes. It only took around five seconds.

"Wow...." he muttered and turned to look at his stump, "Will it help with this too? Now's not the time, but I'll test it out later."

Keith withdrew from his spatial dimension and rushed outside. He left the inn and went straight to the butchers.

"I'd like to buy an entire carcass." he said as he walked in, but the guy wearing an apron shook his head, "That won't be possible. If you want an entire body, then you'll have to go to the people who sell us their animals."

Keith let out a sigh and walked back to his inn before diving into his spatial dimension once again.

'I can't go around revealing my face to the viscount, so I guess it's time to put these guys to use.' he thought as he appeared in front of the trio physically.

The three of them were shocked at first, but they relaxed once they saw that Keith was smiling.

"Hi, I'm Keith. Nice to meet you guys." he said amicably and Gerald nodded in response, "Nice to meet you too."

Keith turned to look at Alpha and Beta next before speaking, "You two should be the assassins in training right?"
