As i lay there, waiting i try to come up with a plan. ive got 4 hours left until my [Rebirth] takes affect. The elves must have noticed that im a skeleton. Even though im a skeleton, i was affected by something like paralyze. I guess since it penetrated my bone and affected the marrow.
Maybe i can come up with a type of aura? I noticed earlier that my Mana is pitch black. I could use that to my advantage.
I thought back to when i created [Mana Burst]. then, i was absorbing mana at a steady rate. An aura would be like [Mana Burst] so i have to be careful. Ill have to slowly cover my body (or skull in this case) with my mana. I sat there for 3 hours, each attempt getting closer. at first i nearly cast [Mana Burst] but over time it got more stable. on the 4th hour...

Hidden Skill [Mana Drain]
[Mana Drain]: Passively drain the mana of surrounding entities. 2 mana drained/s
No wonder. talk about overpowered. This must be why i never run completely out of MP.
I have 30 minutes left until [Rebirth] takes affect. I see a few wierdly shaped flowers right next to my skull. I try to grab them with my jaw hoping to put them into my inventory. Maybe i could sell them or make potions out of them. This is elven territory, after all. These must some sort of rare flower. I manage to grab one with my jaw, but right when i close i crush the flower...
Sometimes being a skeleton without a body isnt fun. Anyways, i need to be more careful. I only have 3 [Rebirths] left. And seeing that 1 takes 5 years to recharge.
I was hoping to save my rebirths, only having to use it when im in grave danger. i guess that plan wont work. Who knew this world was so dangerous?
There are ten seconds left as i feel a tingly sensation. I then see the trees flash before my eyes. I then break into a few treehouses. i couldnt see any elves because of how fast i was.
This remarkable speed. I wonder whatll happen to the elves when i barrel though them.
Right when i said that, i feel my head rushing though something squishy, they blood splattered everywhere. My body finally reattached and i feel great. I cant same the same for the elf though. I didnt feel anything when i look at his Torso, with a hole the size of a watermelon. his intestines spilled out and near my legs i see a wierdly shaped sac. I then realized it is his stomach, because of the fluid pouring out. you could hear the sounds of someone vomitting at the sight.

Nice a few levels. that stat change will be nice.
The surrounding elves were horrified at the spectacle that had just occurred, but i felt nothing. Maybe because i am a skeleton? The thought of this kinda spooked me, but i shook the feeling away and Spoke to the elves.
"I be sorry. No mean to hurt." I said with my broken english.
"What the hell? It speaks? what is this monster? We must purge it at once!" Said one well built elf, with slanted eyes.
"Wait! Thats a skeleton. Theres no way a skeleton can be this far from a dungeon, let alone speak. Quickly, appraise it!" said a young-looking elf

"Wha..Whats this?! Level 15?! and intelligence over 100? How can this be?!" The Well built elf said.
It seems this elve has a high level of [Aprraisal] since he could see my stats. so its not limited to Fae.
"What is his name? if he has a name, then hes not a summoned creature." the young one said.
"His...his name is Skellie. Hes not a summoned. His class is [Land skeletal] Ive never heard of that before. We must report this to the queen immediately. Farkas, i leave this to you." the Well-built one siad.
"Right away, Sir"
I sat there in silence. The fae had the same reaction when they appraised me.
"'Skellie', youre coming with me. We dont know how you killed our sub-ordinant, so were going to have to lock you up." the Well built one said
"Okeh" i reply.
I wonder whats going to happen to me? Also when can my Speech level up? i dont like this impolite way of speech.
As i followed the Strong man i ask
"What is ur nam?"
He replies, "Just call me Ivraan" (pronounced ee-ver-ahn)
"Ok, Ivraan."
We approach what seems to be a knights barracks. We enter and he leads me down some stairs. He points towards a call and i enter, right after that, he locks the cell door and sits on a nearby chair.
"So Skellie, what were you up to and how did you kill our comrade?"
I start to explain to him what happened when form right when i woke up in that coffin to when i entered the forest. I also explain to him what [Rebirth] does, even though i dont know all of its abilities yet.
"Tha..Thats amazing. You outclass all of our trainees and yet youve "lived" for only a few days. The queen might take a liking to you. Especially you killed a Cyclops at level 10. their level averages from 25-35."
"Rely? i thought good to."
After i said that sentence, something popped up

Do you wish to level up [Beginners Speech] to [Intermediate Speech]?
"Yes" i say out loud.
Ivraan looked with a questioning look, but before i could explain, there were a bunch of sparkles and felt a slight gust. Then, a beautiful woman appeared. Her hair was golden, looking as if it was liquid gold. Her eyes were slanted upwards, and Her pupils were Sky blue. Her ears were poking out, near the size of a humans but pointy and more triangular.
"Is this 'Him', Farkas?" the queen said
"Yes, my queen. He may be something that could never happen, a miracle you could say but i think we should, 'dispose' of him. Who knows where hes from?" Farkas replied.
"what do you think of him, Ivraan?" she said
"From what he just told me, i dont think we need to. if he could kill Taeral that quickly then he could kill at least one more person before we noticed. Plus he did apoligize. Hes better than most trainees we have, so i think we should train him and he can become a guard or mediator for the elves." Ivraan said
"Preposterous! He killed Taeral With out any signs of guilt! He could be decieving us with his lies!" Farkas said
"Although he did kill my best friend, and i kinda resent him for that, but this is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity."
"What a load of Breet(bulls with 8 legs) Excrement! Stand back my queen, i will dispose of it before anything happens to you."
"Silence Farkas! Lets keep him under surveillance, we will train him, just like Ivraan said. i think he can become the bodyguard for the princess for when she goes out on her adventures." The queen said
"Al...Alright." Farkas said, as he looked at me. I swear i could feel bloodlust but only for a millisecond.
"I put you in charge of him, Ivraan." the queen said
"Yes my Queen. When will the funeral be held?"
"In 2 days time. Keep that skeleton down here until after the funeral." the queen said as she said some indecipherable words and disappeared with Farkas.
"Im sorry to say but youll be down here for a few days. Ill be in charge of your training and because youre stronger than normal, itll be harsh."
"Okay. I deeply apoligize for what happened to your friend. I truly didnt mean it." i said
"Its alright" Ivraan said has he left. when he turned around i swear i could hear sniffles.
