Diablo traveled through time and became a necromancer

"Ding! Ding! Ding!" There was a clang of iron clashes, and Wu Ye's face flushed red from the flames of the forge. Wu Ye carefully watched Uncle Jordan forging.

"Look carefully, you must use enough force, otherwise the equipment you want cannot be formed, and the shape will be particularly ugly. At that time, what you make may not be a piece of equipment, but a pile of waste!" Although he was teaching Wu Ye, Uncle Jordan stared at the embryo in front of him intently. He was forging an iron sword, the one-handed kind.

Wu Ye did not say anything to interrupt him, but carefully digested what he had just said, watching Uncle Jordan's hands constantly tapping on the weapon embryo.

Now Uncle Jordan was demonstrating how to forge a simple dagger. Why not forge something more advanced? After all, everything has its roots; you can't achieve perfection overnight. After a while of hammering, a magic circle shone blue in the hand holding the hammer.

Wu Ye had personally witnessed the process of a lump of red-hot iron, growing into a rod resembling a fire stick, and then finally into the embryo of a dagger. And now, it was finally taking shape.

"Zizizizizi!!!" After being tempered, it actually became a dagger. With Uncle Jordan's hammering, the dagger's impurities were removed, and the sword, which was originally gray, turned white.

"Okay, do you understand, kid? This is the dagger I just forged. If you are curious, just pick it up and take a look." Jordan picked up the forged dagger and handed it to Wu Ye.

Wu Ye stared at the dagger in front of him with wide eyes, then checked its properties.

------

Sharp dagger

Damage 3-9

Durability 26/26

Durability increased by 11%

Increases damage by 20% (the maximum damage attribute of this weapon is 2-7.)

------

Incredible! This is actually a beefed-up, stock piece of equipment. If I drilled a few holes in this base material and added some runes, wouldn't I have a good early-game melee leveling weapon?

Although I haven't seen anyone possess the Rune Language so far.

Could it be that the rune drop rate in this world is even lower than on Battle.net? Wu Ye expressed his disinclination to spend a year or two grinding for a single rune. He recalled the allure and price of high-level runes back in the day.

Importance of a TP nail as a brush.

And the rune armor used by the Necromancer to summon iron demons. It can be said that apart from the 20 most difficult runes, the high-level runes, especially the designated runes, are the most difficult to get.

"Uncle Jordan, this! Can this dagger be drilled? And how much would a dagger like this be worth?" Wu Ye was particularly excited when he thought about this. Diablo 2 had a drilling formula, but...? Does everyone have a Horadric Cube? What kind of dream is this!

Anyway, as far as I can remember, besides boxes, only the Barbarian Blacksmith Rasuk in Act 5 can drill holes for you. If the blacksmith could drill holes himself, that would be a huge improvement.

"When it comes to drilling holes in equipment, it also depends on the quality of the base material. For example, although this sword has a maximum of three holes, I can only drill one hole at the moment, and there's a chance of damaging the equipment. As for this dagger, based on its properties, 200 gold coins shouldn't be a problem. Okay, kid, just think about how to learn first! Don't be too ambitious! Next, I'll teach you how to repair equipment! If you have any questions, ask me after I'm done! These things require more practice!"

Uncle Jordan hung the dagger on the wall alongside the other swords. A closer look revealed that most of them were blue quality. He wondered if there was still a blacksmith named Chasi in the camp. Wu Ye vaguely remembered that she would give players a quest to obtain the Horadric Hammer from the monastery's blacksmith. After the quest, she would allow players to enchant their equipment once. It was just a plain base piece, which she would then transform into a gold quality one. The attributes were random.

Wu Ye used to love using a stock wand for enchantments, sometimes getting stats like +3 Skeleton Resurrection +2 Skeleton Domination. It was fine, though, and of course, he could use more advanced base materials later in the game.

After some study, Wu Ye deeply felt that he still had too much to learn, but he was almost able to master the skill of repairing equipment. After all, Wu Ye was quite talented in learning, and his understanding of this thing was different after traveling through time.

"Good boy, you learn much faster than I did at the beginning! Okay! After you learn how to repair equipment, you will slowly learn other things. Come! Come here!" Uncle Jordan put down the forging hammer in his hand and opened the back door of the blacksmith shop.

Uncle Jordan brought Wu Ye to a tarpaulin.

"Shh!"

Uncle Jordan pulled off the tarpaulin covering the items. Wu Ye saw a brand new set of forging equipment: a blacksmith's table, a forge, a quenching table, molds, and so on.

"Uncle? What...what is this for?" Wu Ye looked at the new equipment in front of him in disbelief.

"Hahahaha! It's nothing, just consider it an investment for my future son-in-law! You kid! If I didn't see you were a quick learner and willing to study hard, I wouldn't have bought these things! You kid, you must protect Leah well in the future. I don't ask you to be super powerful, but at least! Don't die before me and Leah's mother! Cherish your life!" Jordan immediately took a liking to Wu Ye, the future son-in-law. Although his daughter and him didn't have a clear relationship yet, it was clear that both parties had the intention. It was just a practical matter.

"Um... well... then thank you, uncle! I'll protect Leah well!" Wu Ye simply accepted the responsibility. After all, her father had such high regard for him, so what was there to complain about? Leah was the first person he had truly gotten to know since coming to this world. She was also his fighting companion.

If I have the chance, I must tell Leah about my feelings, but the most important thing is to improve my own strength first!

A few days later, Wu Ye used the new forging equipment and learned how to do it. Now he could completely repair a piece of white clothing!

I stuffed my forging equipment into my already small backpack, and now that I've reached level 2, it's gotten a bit bigger. It's gone from one cubic meter to five. I don't know how this calculation works. Was I just too weak before level 2?

Leah said she would stay at home for a while longer, and then Wu Ye said goodbye to Leah and her family and came to the place with the most adventurers in the camp.

Akara's little shop!

Adventurers came and went along the way, all discussing how to defeat the enemy or what they wanted to buy. Wu Ye walked slowly and looked around the huge Rogue City. Following the guidance of the Rogue mercenary girl, Wu Ye finally arrived in front of Akara's shop.

Although Akara is the one who gives players their first quest in the game, it's possible she actually runs a shady shop! She specializes in Necromancer, Mage, and Paladin weapons, each one more expensive than the last. It's truly impressive! Although, every time you run out of health, you can return to her and heal.

"Come in, kid!" A kind voice came from inside the store. Akara wasn't in a small tent like in the game, but a large three-story wooden house.

Wu Ye gently pushed open the wooden door and entered the room, where he was greeted by a fragrant floral aroma. It instantly calmed his mind. Wu Ye couldn't help but marvel at the calming effect of this scent. And it was so noticeable.

"Lord Akara, nice to meet you. My name is Wu Ye, and I'm a necromancer. I'm here to..."

"Don't be so reserved, Wu. Although this is the first time we meet, I've heard about you from other kids. I know you're not from here."

Wu Ye couldn't help but feel shocked. Did she know I wasn't from this world? Or was I overthinking it? Wu Ye stared at Akara's white eyes, wondering what Akara was thinking. After all, Akara was a nun from the Blind Sisterhood. Although she couldn't see, she could see others with a power similar to her mind's eye.

"Wu, I know what you're thinking. You don't have to worry about it. You're a kind child. Maybe the world will change because of you."

Akara blinked, as if seeing through everything. Wu Ye stood there, not daring to breathe. "I didn't say anything." It felt like I'd been stripped naked and thrown into the street. A chill ran down my spine.

"I'm overthinking it, Lord Akara. It's just that I'm new here, and I wonder if there are any tasks for me to complete?" Wu Ye didn't think too much and got straight to the point.

"Haha, kid, go to the evil cave in the Blood Wasteland, kill the angry corpse, and give me the thing it drops. I will give you a skill badge."

Listening to Akara's words, Wu Ye finally felt like he was back on track. This is what a qualified NPC should be! Why do I need to see through everything?

"Alright, Master Akara! Please wait for my good news!" Wu Ye said, and then he bowed to Akara. This was because Akara looked like a very respectable elder. And she also had a look of seeing through everything.

Wu Ye said that he had never been so restrained in his life.

They quickly fled Akara's shop, not even bothering to check the prices. Wu Ye said he didn't want to stay even a moment longer! Speaking of familiar faces in the game, he'd already seen one today. There were also Warriv, Mercenary Captain Kasha, the Wise Cain, and the portly Kidd. And the blacksmith, Charsi. He planned to pay them a proper visit sometime. After all, as a Diablo fan, seeing these living "NPCs" was incredibly exciting.

"Hey! Isn't this Brother Wu Ye?"
