Chapter 4: The Undead Thief

  "The continent of Enzes formed two major alliances, the Evil Alliance and the Angelic Alliance. A war lasting thousands of years broke out between these two great alliances. From this day forward, countless new powers will join these two alliances, changing the course of the continent's history. Enzes will continue to write its legend."

  After a long introduction, a small sprite with transparent wings the size of a palm flew to Xiao Yu's side, circling and dancing around him. Xiao Yu knew that this was the game's guide sprite.

  "You have 20 minutes to choose your faction and profession next, which alliance would you like to choose?"

  Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said: "Choose the Evil Alliance." Xiao Yu didn't think of himself as a good person.

  "The evil alliance has professions such as warrior, warlock, black mage, thief, poison mage, shaman, mage, death knight, lich, etc. The evil alliance also has races such as orcs, demons, undead, elementals, and so on. Which one do you want to choose?"

  All players enter the game with their real appearance, and after choosing a race, they will have some racial characteristics. For example, the Beastman tribe is taller and has more hair, the Hellfire tribe has bright red skin, and the Undead tribe has pale white skin. At the same time, each race also has its own unique talents, such as the Beastman tribe's strength talent, which is more suitable for warrior-type occupations, the Hellfire tribe's flame talent and magic resistance talent, etc., and the Undead tribe has undead recognition, undead will, etc.

  "Which race is more suitable for the thief profession?" Xiao Yu asked, thieves are most important for agility and speed, Xiao Yu felt that this profession was more suitable for himself, of course, there were also some special reasons.

  "The Undead and Demon tribes are more suitable for the Thief profession. The Undead's Will of the Lich talent can effectively cancel out other professions' control effects on Thieves, making it more suitable for a battle-oriented Thief. On the other hand, the Demon tribe's Thief has stronger magic resistance, making it more suitable for a team-oriented Thief."

  "The thieves of the undead tribe." Xiao Yu weighed in and said, if you follow the team route, the items obtained by the team are allocated by the captain and cannot be sold casually, which is not suitable for a professional player. Although the battlefield route has a higher risk, it is also the easiest way to gain benefits.

  System: Are you sure you want to choose Undead Rogue?

  Yes!

  System: You have chosen your profession, Undead Rogue.

  After the character was generated, Xiao Yu took a look at his appearance. His body's exterior hadn't changed much, but his skin had become whiter than before, even somewhat pale. Seeing himself like this, Xiao Yu let out a sigh of relief, it was good that he wasn't just a skeleton.

  Xiao Yu looked at his own attributes.

  Rank 1 Undead Will: Passive talent, reduces control magic effects received by 20%.

  Tier 1 Undead Suppression: Innate skill, after use for three seconds ignore fear effects, one second ignore all control magic effects. Cannot be used to remove control magic effects on self.

  After waiting patiently for twenty minutes, Xiao Yu finally entered the game. Contrary to his expectations, it wasn't crowded with people everywhere. Perhaps because players were scattered across different spawn points, there seemed to be fewer people than expected. Occasionally, some players wearing newbie gear walked by on the main street.

  Xiao Yu's body was wearing a set of gray cloth clothes with no attributes, the workmanship was ordinary and not very good-looking, fortunately, he didn't go naked.

  System: You were born in the town of Tabak, Diyarvasat City, the land of the dead.

  Vassar City is the second largest city in the country of Deya, and Tabac is just a small town in the corner of Vassar City, not particularly noticeable among the hundreds of small towns in Vassar City.

  Xiao Yu looked around at the surroundings, it was a dilapidated small town, with only a few crumbling houses scattered around, on the verge of collapse. When the wind blew, the town was enveloped in a haze of yellow sand, like a vague mist, shrouding the town. Looking out towards the outskirts of the town, there was a vast expanse of yellow desert stretching out as far as the eye could see.

  The Spirit Nation of Diya is mostly a desert with no plant growth, yet its people have survived like cacti in this desert.

  This small town doesn't have anything particularly special, if there's one thing that can be called special, it's the black river flowing beside the town. This black river flows from beside the town, nourishing the land of the town, extending endlessly into the desert. On this black river, from time to time some dark mist rises up, drifting vaguely above Tabak Town.

  Xiao Yu took a deep breath, and this dark aura seeped into Xiao Yu's body, giving Xiao Yu's body a feeling of being full of energy.

  The river's water is from the Dark Holy Spring, the source of power for the Undead tribe, and it nourishes all of Deja.

  Twenty minutes after choosing a profession, the guiding spirit introduced me to the history of Deja. Deja is a dead soul country, but in fact, the citizens of Deja are not dead souls, they are a race called the undead tribe. Thousands of years ago, the undead tribe lived in the human nation of Elasia Empire like other races, but because they were in contact with the dead all day long, they were seen as an evil symbol by the people of Elasia and were driven out of Elasia to this barren desert of Deja. The undead tribe fought for hundreds of years to survive.

  For centuries, the undead had been quietly biding their time. The ancient lich sorcerer, Krawvens, finally lost patience and used his mastery of dark magic and the artifact known as "The Suppressed Specter" to control Lord Grevon Harth, the ruler of Dijia province in Erasia Empire. The foolish king of Erasia, Isen, made a grave mistake by expelling all mages from the country. These mages had been fighting for Erasia for centuries and eventually established the Free Kingdom of Brakada on the northernmost part of Enzes continent, where the original Brakada province used to be. Later, lich sorcerer Sandru discovered the tomb of Saint Roaibo, the founder of the undead tribe, in the desert of Dijia. He opened the Dark Holy Spring within the tomb and from then on, the dark energy flowed throughout Dijia. In addition to the Dark Holy Spring, Sandru also obtained the legendary artifact known as "Ghost King's Cloak". This fearsome artifact allowed Sandru, who was already skilled in necromancy, to summon powerful undead minions using corpses. The undead tribe, which had been facing extinction, finally rose to power.

  The Beastman tribe rose, the Hellish tribe rose, the establishment of the Republic of Brakada, and the various provinces of the Erathian Empire declared independence. From then on, the Erathian Empire disintegrated, and the Council of Elders controlled the Erathian Empire, changing its name to the Erathian Human Kingdom. The Enzes continent formed a situation where eight countries stood together: the Erathian Human Kingdom, the Republic of Brakada, the Swamp Country of Bayldes, the Dwarf Country of Ofr, the Elf Country of Hamondeil, the Undead Country of Deya, the Beastman Country of Titalia, and the Hellish Country of Klorod.

  In the midst of the Eight Great Powers' standoff, the Undead rose to power and formed a powerful evil alliance with the Beastman Kingdom of Tatalia and the Hellish Kingdom of Krolrod, vying for dominance. Meanwhile, the Human Kingdom of Erasia joined forces with the Elf Kingdom of Hamondel and the Dwarf Kingdom of Ouf to form the Angelic Alliance, putting aside their differences and recognizing the independence of the Brakada Free Kingdom, incorporating it and the Swamp Kingdom of Bayldes into the alliance. Thus, the two great alliances, the Angelic Alliance and the Evil Alliance, stood opposed, shaping the main landscape of the Enzes Continent.

  Due to years of war, the two major alliances have deep grievances.

  Xiao Yu chose the profession of Undead Thief, which means he became a member of the Undead tribe. From then on, his fate will be tied to this country's prosperity and decline.
