Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　5 units of wood, 5 units of stone, 500 gold coins.

　This was all the resources he had at his disposal.

　Such meager resources were only obtained after recovering a portion of the previous stone spire and acquiring gold coins from the current village council.

　Apart from that, Moros had nothing else in his territory.

　What can you do with this little bit of stuff?!

　Lamenting in his heart, Moros could only accept reality.

　Otherwise, what else can be done?

　Moros took a deep breath and began to think about how to use these resources to develop his territory.

　However, after much deliberation, Moros had to admit that with such limited resources, his first building option was essentially fixed.

　Marketplace!

　Only this construction can allow him to develop this territory when he is penniless and destitute.

　With the issuance of Moros's order, the already scarce resources in the territory were instantly reduced by more than half.

　Instead, a skull-shaped building stands amidst the city ruins.

　Market: Resources can be bought and sold, and treasures can be sold.

　Having witnessed a magical building appear from nothing in just a few seconds, Moros gained a direct understanding of the terror of magical power.

　As we all know, creation is much more difficult than destruction.

　Since magic can create this miraculous scene, destroying it would be an easy task.

　One day, I will hold this power in my own hands!

　With this thought in mind, Moros's consciousness detached from the demiplane.

Chapter 4 The Beginning of the Magical Path

　The moment Moros's consciousness left the demiplane and returned to his body, an overwhelming sense of exhaustion swept over him.

　After all, he was just a baby who was only a month old. Even though he had become a superhuman, he could not resist the weariness that came from the depths of his soul.

　Without the slightest struggle, Moros immediately fell into a deep sleep.

　When he woke up again, it was already broad daylight.

　Thanks to the fact that babies are naturally very sleepy, Moros's deep sleep did not arouse any suspicion from his parents.

　As usual, he was cared for full-time by his mother, Emma, ​​while his father, Flacco, went out to work to earn money.

　For Morros, infancy was truly carefree.

　Having cast aside the shackles of worldly shame, he was completely immersed in this blissful life of being waited on hand and foot.

　Such a life is undoubtedly an unattainable luxury for those who toil daily to make a living.

　However, these carefree and comfortable days have quietly come to an end today.

　After nearly ten days of accumulation, Moros finally gathered enough resources to build the second structure – the [Level 1 Magic Guild].

　Although acquiring resources through the market can only be used as an emergency measure in the game, for Moros, it is currently his only channel for obtaining non-gold coin resources.

　The demiplane where the cemetery city is located naturally contains resource production buildings such as sawmills, mines, and crystal caves.

　In fact, not to mention various resource production buildings, as the master of the demiplane, Moros also has the specific coordinates of all the wilderness constructions in this demiplane, including but not limited to the specific coordinates of various troop recruitment constructions and hero enhancement constructions.

　However, in order to capture these buildings, Moros needs to first eliminate the monsters guarding them.

　This was an impossible task for Moros, who didn't even have a single skeleton soldier under his command.

　So even though he knew it was foolish to exchange gold coins for timber, he had no choice but to be the sucker.

　Even if he was a time traveler, and even if he was the easiest undead unit to command, Moros, who was just a baby, could not possibly lead an army into battle.

　Therefore, in the [Graveyard] and Level 1

　Between the magic guilds, Moros ultimately chose the latter.

　As the corresponding resources gradually disappeared, a magnificent mage tower transformed from illusion into reality, standing prominently atop the city ruins where the village council hall was located.

　The moment the first-level magic guild was completed, Moros had a slight thought and controlled his consciousness to step into this building full of mystery and wonder.

　The interior of the Magic Guild is spacious and deep, like a treasure trove of knowledge.

　The towering bookshelves were filled with countless magical tomes, radiating a mesmerizing light.

　The air was filled with the faint scent of ink and paper, creating a sense of tranquility and solemnity.

　Wandering among the bookshelves, Moros's fingers gently traced the spines of the books, as if he could feel the wisdom and power contained within each one.

　He knew that this magic guild would be the starting point of his magical journey and the cornerstone for him to reach higher realms.

　As the lord of the cemetery, Moros can indeed draw power through killing, thereby increasing his level.

　But this does not mean that he can only gain experience in this way.

　In fact, Moros could also effectively accumulate experience through traditional methods such as learning magical knowledge, meditation, and conducting magical experiments.

　Passing through rows of enormous bookshelves, Moros arrived at the center of the first-level magic guild.

　Here, a thick, brown spellbook sits quietly on the desk.

　Is this my spellbook?

　With these thoughts in mind, Moros reached out and touched the brown spellbook.

　At that very moment, information about three level-one spells flooded into Moros's sea of ​​consciousness.

　Since this magic guild belongs to the Necropolis faction, the first-level spells that Moros acquired this time are [Weakness] from the dark magic, [FireTrap] from the summoning magic, and [EldritchArrow] from the destruction magic.

　【Weakness Curse】: Curses the target unit, reducing its maximum damage.

　[Flame Trap]: The caster selects an area and randomly places fire mines within that area. Enemies that step on them will suffer a certain amount of non-elemental magic damage.

　[Magic Arrow]: Fires a magic missile at the target unit, dealing non-elemental damage.

　Don't underestimate these three spells just because they are only the most basic level one spells. For ordinary people, they are already terrifying attacks that are impossible to resist.

　Taking the [Magic Arrow] as an example, Moros's [Magic Arrow] now has an astonishing 57 points of power.

　What is this concept?

　The life strength of an average adult male is only around 2 or 3 points.

　In other words, one arrow is enough to kill the opponent more than 10 times!

　This is the terror of battle magic.

　Even though Morros is currently just a newborn baby, and even though his mana only allows him to use level one spells twice a day, he still possesses the power to easily kill an adult.

　This was still at the point where Moros's control over the three level-one spells was limited to the release of their power.

　If he truly mastered these three first-level spells, the power that Moros could unleash would be even greater.

　For example, the [Weakness Curse].

　Currently, Moros can only be used as a support to weaken the opponent's attack power.

　But once he truly mastered this battle magic, Moros could even use the [Curse of Weakness] to directly cause the caster's heart to stop.

　With the ability to easily kill adults, Moros's insecurity caused by the frailty of infants vanished almost instantly.

　This is another important reason why Moros chose to build the Magic Guild.

　He needs real power to fill the insecurity he feels because of time travel!

　Time flows slowly, and each day seems peaceful and beautiful.

　In Flacco and Emma's eyes, their child Morales was a well-behaved baby who was easy to take care of.

　Unless he was hungry, needed a diaper change, or was feeling unwell, little Moros always lay quietly in his cradle, his bright, clear eyes curiously observing the world around him.

　So even though it was Emma's first time raising a child, it wasn't too difficult.

　Of course, this is in comparison to other new mothers.

　Regardless, Emma has devoted a great deal of effort to her role as a mother.

　In addition, Mr. Flacco was earning more and more money, and in Emma's eyes, their little family's life was getting better and better.

　But this is just an illusion.

　A huge illusion.

　In a small town where there is only one hospital, it seems a bit questionable that someone could continuously increase their income on top of a comfortable standard of living.

　However, thanks to Mr. Flacquet's skillful concealment, Emma is not yet aware of the problems with her husband's current income.

　However, a problem is a problem; it can be covered up, but it won't disappear into thin air.

　One day, the problems will come to a head.

Chapter 5: The First Birthday Ceremony and First Encounter with Honkai Energy

　Time flows gently like a stream, and in the blink of an eye, Moros is one year old.

　After passing the two important milestones of the full moon and the 100th day, Moros ushered in the most important activity for children in the Mu Continent before starting school—the first birthday celebration.

　Although Flacco and Emma were both highly educated and not superstitious, they were still willing to let their children experience this ritualistic family activity.

　On the day of the baby's first birthday celebration, Emma got up early to prepare a new outfit for Moros and carefully combed his hair.

　She held Moros gently, gazing into his clear, bright eyes, her heart filled with anticipation and joy.

　Mr. Flacquard laid out a soft carpet in the spacious hall of his newly acquired mansion.

　The blanket was covered with a dazzling array of items: books, musical instruments, coins, snacks, and more, each carefully selected and carrying profound meaning.

　"Moros, go and pick out what you like!"

　Emma placed Maurois on the blanket and leaned against Mr. Flacquard, looking expectantly at her baby.

　Moros glanced back at his playful parents and silently complained to himself.

　What the heck? A baby's first birthday celebration? I'm a time traveler! This kind of thing is so boring!

　Despite his complaints, Moros was still willing to play along with his parents since they wanted to.

　He began to examine the items on the blanket closely, secretly speculating in his mind.

　After hesitating for a long time, Maurois turned around, staggered toward Emma and Flacco, and then embraced them.

　As a level one superhuman, it's quite reasonable that he could walk at the age of one year old.

　"Dad, Mom!"

　The scene fell silent instantly. Emma and Flacco, seemingly understanding what the child meant, opened their mouths but couldn't say anything.

　However, you could tell from their teary eyes that they were deeply moved by their son's actions.

　The emotional experience of his first birthday celebration did not change Moros's life; he continued to live the life of a high-quality human infant, free from worries about food and clothing.

　However, unlike the play of ordinary children, in addition to learning the knowledge stored in the magic guild, Moros also consciously collects information to understand the world he has traveled to.

　Through television, newspapers, and conversations between his parents, Moros gained a relatively basic understanding of the world.

　This is a civilization whose technological development is somewhat more advanced than that of Earth in its previous life, but which has not yet entered the era of interstellar colonization.

　The continent of Mu, where their family currently resides, is undoubtedly the core of this civilization.

　However, in this particular small town, the level of technology is not much different from that of the previous life.

　Despite the lack of clear information about supernatural forces, Moros did not let his guard down.

　In his view, this was nothing more than the result of the rulers of Mu Continent concealing relevant information from the people in order to maintain their rule.

　There must be supernatural forces in this world!

　The reason Morros made this judgment was simple: after he learned the prerequisite ability of meditation—to perceive energy particles in the environment—he discovered that a strange energy, different from magic, permeated the world.

　This energy seems to pose a certain risk to the human body; if one were to absorb it rashly, it would most likely cost them their life.

　However, Moros also keenly realized that if they could withstand this danger, the strange energy in the environment could be used to strengthen the human body.

　This is undoubtedly good news for him.

　During his studies at the Magic Guild, Moros received some unsettling news.
