Chapter 17 New Class- Spear Master
- Badump! Badump!
- Clinton was a skeleton; he was supposed to have no heart.
- But at this moment, as he finally got a moment of reprieve for the first time in like forever as reward for his efforts and determination, he hallucinated.
- Clinton could hear something like a heart rapidly beating in his mind.
- If he was still a human, at this moment, he would be hyperventilating.
- This feeling made him remember one of the closest competitive races of his life in the track in his previous life when he went up against one of his fastest opponents ever, a prodigy who once represented an opponent school.
- ‘D-did I do it?!’ Clinton thought incredulously, unable to believe it, but then…
- Thud!
- The Stone Ogre collapsed; it was dead.
- This was all the evidence that he needed.
- He killed it.
- Somehow, against all odds that were against him, Clinton managed to rise from the ashes of death to kill this formidable level 3 monster.
- 0.1 HP…, that was how much of his vitality was left at the end.
- That low, even a mere sniff from the level 3 Stone Ogre would have meant his end yet somehow, incredulously, Clinton survived.
- “…”
- “…”
- “…..!”
- Clinton could hardly believe the current reality that was before him.
- To win, in this battle, he had to give far beyond his all.
- To win, he had to take out both eyes of his enemy.
- Heck, to win, he had to stab his weapons through the butt cheeks of his enemy!
- This was how desperate this battle pushed him to.
- And the result of his desperation was here, swift and accurate like death, his victory and as a result of it, his miserable undead system lit up with new notifications that attracted his attention.

- All of a sudden, from a classless mid-tier level 3 skeleton that he was before, after killing this level 3 Stone Ogre, Clinton had such an impressive upgrade.
- Not only did he unlock his first combat class, he leveled up and most importantly, he finally got his first combat skill!
- Clinton felt on top of the world. “Hell yeah!” He pumped one of his skeleton fists excitedly in the air to celebrate.
- Another thing was that after dealing that last blow to the level 3 Stone Ogre, Clinton no longer felt weak and on the verge of death.
- With his passive skill, vampire active, he was able to suck a portion of the powerful Stone Ogre’s health points on killing it to supplement his own HP.
- Considering how low Clinton was before, this was very important.
- And still, this was not all.
- Clinton stared at the notifications superimposing with his vision with an incredulous look on his face, he tried to rub his eyes. ‘Is…, I-is that…?’
- ‘Did that say my HP just increased?!’
- Clinton wanted to yell aloud so much at this moment but he dared not.
- This was because at this moment, he could already tell that 6 different packs of Green Goblins and Undead Trees were coming in his direction, including 2 other level 3 and level 2 Stone Ogres.
- They were attracted here due to the sound of their battle.
- Clinton no longer stayed behind, he had to change the location of his lair.
- In the battle against the Stone Ogre, Clinton lost 3 of his Wooden Spears in the process of defeating it and since he already left 3 behind when he first met the Stone Ogre, he had only 4 Wooden Spears and 7 Wooden Daggers remaining.
- Not wasting time, Clinton scrambled to pack all his remaining crafted weapons before changing locations and rushing out of that place even as it was soon swarmed by the monsters that were attracted to the sound.
- A furious battle royale soon started in that location.
- …
- 15 minutes later, Clinton found a new hideout.
- Having disassembled his skeleton body with bone assembling already, hiding under the roots of one of the trees, safe from the hazards of this decaying forest, Clinton finally took his time to observe his most recent gains.
- He took his time to savor the effects of his own hard work and daring.
- In recent time, checking the system to see his status growth, this was his reward system for coping with being reincarnated into this world.

- ~________~
- Unlike with his previous level ups, this time, for leveling up to level 4, every single one of Clinton’s attributes increased by a figure of 0.1.
- He grinned. ‘Just like I expected, my attribute growth will be rising too as my level gradually increases’.
- Staring at all the changes in his system status and then eventually seeing the system remark, his grin widened. ‘F*ck you Angel Athena!’ He thought.
- ‘I’m not so miserable now, huh?’
- And then, he thought. ‘So, which attributes should I prioritize with 2 free attribute points suddenly in my hand to spend as I wish?’
