After a few seconds have passed I open my eyes to see if the blinding light has faded. Upon opening my eyes I found that I was now surrounded by old looking tombstones ready to fall apart. I had a plain black dress on and was standing in long grass with tree roots shooting through the ground. Around the edges of the graveyard, there seemed to be a wooden fence that was once painted white that was now lying in the grass and had faded. Around the fence where many large trees with a dark-colored bark and dark green leaves that moved with the gentle wind. The sky was completely covered by dark grey clouds that blocked out any light the sun could have shined if it was daytime. I suppose for now I should get to making use of my necromancy. Walking over to one of the larger tombs I say.
“Rise my minion.”
Wh-what. I have such a cute voice. I guess I did ask to be made 12. I wonder what my appearance looks like. My hair seems to be pitch black but not shiny in the slightest as if it absorbed all the light around it. I seem to be maybe 150cm tall at best but I don’t have anything to compare myself to check. Anyway enough about me, where is my minion? I suppose I have to do more than just talk. I try envisioning the dead skeleton rising from the ground. Focusing on this image alone I hear the sound of the grass being trampled. Opening my eyes there was a large skeleton in front of me and a hole in front of the gravestone. It worked! I wonder if my necromancy skill leveled up from that.
Thinking status the information appears in my head. It was all level one and my body’s condition was listed as healthy. The only new bit of information was that I had a minion count of 1/1. I suppose I can only have one minion for now then. Doesn’t that mean the rest of this graveyard is kind of useless?
Looking up at my new minion I realize I must be short. It is as expected of someone my age I suppose. I should have made myself older. Whatever it can't be helped now.

So I have a minion now but... Next to him, I don't look that threatening it totally ruins the evil necromancer thing. I don't look cool at all I just look short! I need to hide him somehow.
Space magic!
Maybe that can hide him? To be honest... Before now I didn't know what space magic did but maybe now that I learned the skill I understand it? I mean I know that space magic generally has to do with dimensions and time. It seems low-level magic for it would be opening a mini dimension that I could store things in.
This is supposed to be used as a closet I feel like but what better place to hide a few dead bodies. Let's do it.
I use my space magic and open up the closed door. Now there is just a door in the middle of an abandoned graveyard. Quite the scene. I open up the door and shove my minion into the darkness behind the door.
"Umph!"
I-I can't move him.
"Hurry up and get in the closet!"
I should just stick to telling my minions to move. That was embarrassing. I end the space magic and the door disappears. I was expecting to feel pretty drained after using magic. Maybe it is because I put all my points into mind. So the mind stat did have something to do with magic. I invested my points well.
Now that I have my 1/1 minion I suppose there is no real reason to be in the graveyard. For some reason, I understand that leveling up my necromancy will let me have more minions so I had better go level it up. I can level it up by fighting with my necromancy skills. In other words, I have to fight something.
This information that came with the skills are quite helpful. I'm not sure what I'd do without them. So let's go fight some stuff! And food... I want food. Maybe the graveyard wasn't the best place to start.
Well if I want to fight something in find have to leave the graveyard. Goodbye, my future minions, I'll be back later for you. Now into the forest.
----------------------------------------
Ahh. This forest is kinda scary. I want to go back to my graveyard. Where are the slimes outside the starting village to grind? I haven't found a monster or anything. It's been like two hours. I'm starving.
----------------------------------------
So I'm not sure what time it is with how dark these clouds are I can't see the sun or the moon. But it feels like it is time to sleep. I open up my door and go inside not wanting to sleep out in the open.
It's unbelievably dark in here. It's surprisingly comfortable it feels like I'm floating. I think I could fall asleep in here without issues. Good night my minion.
