[I can't believe it! Is it really a necromancer challenging one of the top 100?]

[It can't be! Everyone knows that the necromancer is the hardest class to develop. It should be impossible to be already in the top 100.]

[However, since the rank 100 is a life mage, it is at a great disadvantage against the undead power of a necromancer, right?]

[Still, it's a necromancer! Life mage is one of the easiest classes to develop. Maybe later that necromancer should definitely win, but right now I doubt it.]

[I guess this guy is the only necromancer in the top 1000, isn't it enough for him?]

At one side of the arena was a boy, apparently 15 years old, wearing a green robe with some yellow details and holding a staff with a small tree floating on top. Above his head was the name "Jassinto482".

On the other side of the arena was a tall and muscular man wearing only dark pants while holding a staff with a dark green gem on top. Above his head was the name "Blake".

The boy balanced his staff and instantly the arena was surrounded by trees. The tree branches started growing quickly in Blake's direction when Blake just hit his staff on the floor and a giant dark green fog started to overtake the arena, killing all the trees around.

The boy desperately stuck his staff on the floor. His staff transformed into a giant tree and purified all the fog into oxygen. The fog was gone. Then the giant tree branches moved directly in Blake's direction.

Blake looked at the tree branches coming and summons his undead. Around twenty skeletons, five bone tigers, and a bone dragon rose from the floor. The bone dragon direct shattered the tree branches and attack the boy.

However, the boy balanced his hand creating five more trees around Blake and his undead. The tree branches of these new trees stopped the bone dragon and prevented the other skeletons from moving.

Blake then tried to move to attack the trees and free his undead, when he noticed his feet were stuck in the big tree's roots that attacked him stealthily during the exchange just now.

The boy was already celebrating, preparing the giant tree to make a huge attack. Since Blake and his undead were stuck, they wouldn't be able to dodge. However, to the surprise of the young boy, the only thing you could see on Blake's face was joy.

Blake was directly involved in a dark green, black, and red aura and touched the giant tree's roots on his foot.

Suddenly the giant tree fell dead on the floor and all the undead were involved in a light green aura. The undead strength increased exponentially and directly shattered all the tree branches and attacked the boy.

The youngster, who was without his giant tree, couldn't do much to defend himself. A few minutes later the boy's struggle to survive ended, and a system's window appeared in front of Blake.

[Congratulations for defeating the rank 100 on the ranker list! Now your rank change from 115 to 100 in the ranker list of "Outside The Simulation"]

[Is this for real? The necromancer won?]

[What was that skill just now? That thing was crazy!]

[The life mage was just too careless. He allowed the necromancer to take down his strongest card easily]

[How was he on the 100 with that small ability]

[Hey, shut up! Who in the world wouldn't be careless when fighting a necromancer? That @Blake was just too abnormal.]

In a small room, a little overweight man, that looked to be around forty years old, got out of a super technologic capsule and start laughing like crazy. He is Blake that was fighting just now inside the game.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

'I finally got to the top 100! I worked so hard at this! Thinking at it now, tomorrow it will make five years since the day I started playing.

'Five years ago, in 2050, a new game was released with these super capsules at an unimaginable low price by an unknown company, "Outside The Simulation". The funny thing is that a lot of conflicts and wars stopped for different reasons during that year.

'A lot of people around the world started playing this game, even me, a retired pro player decided to give it a try. I obviously chose to play as a necromancer, although we could choose from an infinity of different classes including transmorf, summoner, archmage, berserk, etc.

'I don't really know why but I always chose necromancer when possible, I also like to read novels with those themes, it sounds kind of dark, but it is almost like necromancy and I are connected. It really sounds dark!

'Forget it, if I continue to think about it, I will end up in a madhouse or even in jail.'

Blake just took a shower and went to sleep since today was a very hard day online.

On the next day, Blake woke up and direct took another shower. He ate his breakfast and prepared to go to his parent's house.

Blake was very close to his parents and since he was happy with his ranking in the game, he wanted to make his parents happy with a sudden visit. He also wanted to buy a strawberry pie on the way, since his mother love it.

…

A few hours later, around midday, Blake arrived at his parent's apartment with a strawberry pie and a chocolate pie. He thought that just one pie was too little.

After he arrived and told his parent the good news. His parents got very happy and started to prepare lunch for them while the pies were left for dessert.

Even though Blake had made a lot of money as a pro player, when he retired because of old age, he got very bored to the point of looking kind of depressed every time. So, his parents got very happy when their son start playing video games again and act more happily.

After they chatted and ate lunch and dessert, it was already six o'clock and Black was starting to prepare to go back home. However, at that time the world changed.

All the electricity around turned off and everything that utilizes energy stopped working, the wind stopped flowing, the cloud stopped moving, it looked like time stopped.

Blake and Blake's parents each look at each other's faces searching for answers, but no one knows what's happening. Then a loud shout could be heard.

"Somebody helps! Please! My dad is having a heart attack! Call the ambulance!"

Then others shout from different directions.

"My friend is ding! Somebody calls the ambulance quickly! Quiiick!"

And more shouts continue to be shouted around but no ambulance could be called without energy. And even if it could, I doubt they would be enough to help everyone.

During the confusion between the three, Blake and his parents, Blake's mother started to brief heavily and put her hand on her chest.

Blake went as fast as he could to her to try to help. However, it was already too late. Her body fell dead in Blake's arms.

He started crying desperately and look at his father in search of comfort. But what he found was his father putting his hand on his chest and looking sorry at his son.

He was sorry to leave his son alone in this horrible situation. He looked like he wanted to say something, but before he could, he fell dead on the floor.

Blake was horrified, he couldn't believe his own eyes.

'That's all an illusion, right?

'It isn't real!

'I'm just sleeping, right?'

A few minutes later, while Blake was still questioning himself, all the shouting stopped.

At this point, Blake felt as if he was the last human in the world.

He went out of his parent's apartment and while walking he saw a few bodies moveless on the floor, some other apartments with the door opened could be seen more bodies inside.

'It was a slaughter. It could not be caused naturally.

What happened here?'

A few more minutes pass with Blake questioning the situation with no answer or conclusion when he felt a fluctuation around him. It was even more apparent because he noticed that the wind had stopped long ago.

Blake, who had just seen his parents die in front of him, just accepted it. He didn't want to resist at all. He wasn't actually thinking anymore, he was just observing to see what was going to happen without any care to his own life.

After the fluctuation intensifies, Blake felt his body light, and then his surroundings change.

He wasn't in the corridor of the building anymore, he looked to be in the hall of a castle.

He looked around and saw a lot of people he recognizes near him. But they weren't really people. At least not before this incident. They used to be characters of other players in the game "Outside The Simulation". More precisely, the characters of the players in the top 100.

Blake then looked at himself and realized that he was not the little overweight man he used to be. Now, he looked like his game character, a tall and muscular healthy man in his twenties.

He was kind of surprised, but he wasn't really feeling much about the situation. If the price to have his game body as his real body was to see his parents die in front of his eyes, he wouldn't take it.

At that time a very tall and muscular man appear flying in front of everyone. In comparison with that guy, Blake looked tiny and weak.

Then the guy said in a loud voice to everyone hear.

"Welcome to the outside

"You guys are the product of the simulation that we created and run for over ten thousand years.

"Congratulations on achieving the requirements to finally come outside.

"We are very happy to have all of you!"
