Strongest Necromancer System

You look and feel like humans do, but that is only because you’ve lived amongst them all your life, and your mother’s blood also flows in you. You are not one of them. You are a primordial.

Your home world is known as Avaran and it was once one of the strongest worlds in the Primordial Expanse. I was the one who concealed your true race on the system tab to make sure you were ready. And although you might want to know everything about it now, I cannot tell you more until I know you are ready for that too.

Instead, what I can tell you is about what it means to be a member of the Avarian race. The Avarians possessed a biology that surpasses that of any other species. We are each born with an innate genetic superiority that allows us to grow stronger indefinitely through the consumption of Magical Crystals. I don’t think I need to explain more than this since you have the system there to help you learn more about all this. With the unique genetics you possess along with the system I’ve gifted you, I know you can become the strongest of us.

As for the Avarians, our ability to grow so quickly caused us to be feared by the other Primordials, and in time we were betrayed and attacked by the other Primordial races, leading many of us to go into hiding. Now, there are not many of us Avarians left, and I have no idea where the ones who are alive are hiding. In our absence, the Primordials have dedicated themselves to the conquest of all the Primordial Expanse, and in time, the Primordials will come for both you and your world.

Before that time comes, you must prepare yourself for the worst. Grow stronger at every opportunity and protect your family. Protect our family, Jason. I’m putting all my trust in you. It’s a hard job, but you are my son. I know you are up to the task.

On a separate note, you should watch out for a man named Cerci and his organization, Gaia. They will claim to know me, and I’m sure Cerci will try to make you trust him. But take whatever comes out of his mouth with a grain of salt. Use him until there’s nothing more he can give you, but never put your full trust in him. He is a brilliant man, but he is the most twisted motherfucker I’ve ever seen.

I hope this isn’t the last time you read one of my messages. Until next time, try not to die, son.

Jason stared at the message in front of him with a small smile tugging at his lips. He read through the message again and let out a small laugh while resting his head in his hand. Yeah, this was definitely his father. Jason had been a little unconvinced when he read the first message earlier. It was so formal and no-nonsense that Jason wasn’t sure if it was his father or not! From what Jason remembered of his father, the man was playful, and he would always joke around and swear at the craziest things while working with his mother in the store! Jason just didn’t see his father as someone that serious!

But now that Jason was seeing this message, he could tell that this was his father! At least now he could be sure that his father hadn’t left them for no reason. He ran a hand over his face and read the message again to figure out everything his father was talking about. So his father really wasn’t human? Jason wasn’t as surprised by that revelation as he thought he would be. He already suspected something like this when he saw the question marks on the system tab earlier. That meant he had inherited ten percent of his mother’s DNA and ninety percent of his father’s. Jason was basically an alien.

But how in the world would consuming magical crystals help him get stronger?

’It’s real?’

Jason stared at the mission with slight shock. For a moment when he read his father’s message, Jason was skeptical about having to consume magical crystals. Jason had never heard about anyone doing something like that before, so he wondered if he would really be okay. For a second, he thought that his dad was just pulling his leg! But the fact that the system was also doubling down on it just made him realize that his dad wasn’t pulling his leg. It was real.

’But if I’m an Avarian, then what about the Necromancer system? What is it? How did I get it from my dad?’

There were many questions that Jason had about this entire thing. Being an Avarian meant that his innate ability was to consume magical crystals. But if that was true, then how did his father get his hands on the Necromancer system?

Jason asked this question to the system, and he watched as the system brought up a response.

[The system has no knowledge of its origin.]

Jason frowned at that answer and asked another question.

’Am I the only person in the world with a system?’

[Yes, the system can confirm that the user is the only person wielding a system in the vast Primordial Expanse.]

Jason hummed with his hand over his chin. There were still many questions that he needed answers to, and the system was only making him more curious. If he was the only one with a system, then that meant the system was something separate from his heritage. Someone made the system and the system first belonged to that person before becoming his.

’How did Dad get this system and put it in the necklace? Did he use the system before giving it to me? System, am I the first person to ever use you?’

[No, the user is not the first wielder of the system.]

’How many wielders have there been before me?’

[Before the user, the system has been used by 2 other Primordials, both of whom have passed it down to a suitable descendant at their time of death.]

Jason put his face in both hands and sighed. Okay, so that makes things a lot more understandable. It wasn’t like the system just came out of thin air. It had an origin, and there were others that had used it before him. But his father was still alive, so Jason knew that he hadn’t used the system. The system could only be passed down after someone dies. So, how did his dad get this system in the first place?

There was a strange thought in Jason’s mind, and for some reason, Jason found it hard not to consider that thought. But there was a real chance that the system hadn’t belonged to his father at all. What if his father had taken the system from someone else and then modified it to give it to Jason? What if his father had stolen the system?

Jason sighed and decided not to be bothered too much by this anymore. For now, he would just focus on moving forward and getting stronger. The more Jason hears about these Primordials, the more he realizes that they aren’t to be taken lightly. If they were on their way here already, then Jason needed to get ready for it.

’So, how do I do this again?’

Jason looked at the message from his father and the mission that the system sent him. They only told him to consume the Magical Crystal, but they didn’t say anything about how to do that. Did they really mean he should ’eat’ a Magical Crystal? Jason chuckled at that thought before he sighed tiredly. He fucking hated the fact that he was probably right.

[The user is correct.]

Fuck.

Jason cursed at the system’s response before he spoke to one of the subordinates outside.

’Bring me a crystal.’
