I wish the music of my old life. Or rather, I miss that you could listen to music whenever you wanted to. Life gets so boring without music. Yes, even in a fantasy world.
Recently I've had nothing to do. Absolutely nothing. Because of that dumb lich king I am not allowed to go outside or perform any quests. And other than leveling up my skills nothing have happened. Stealth is level 7, Shadow Cloak level 5 and Sensor is already level 8! Sigh, I wish that just SOMETHING would happen!
---Two hours later---
Nope! I changed my mind! Please bring back the boredom! I don't want any excitement!
Ok, calm down, it's cool, I'm cool, ahhhhhhh.... No it's not cool. I am gonna die. Why? The church is here. Yeah. They are by the city gate right now. I knew that they would come but for them to arrive today? Naha. I am not ready! But I've got to got with the plan I have; hiding.
Now the problem is, where am I going to hide. The guild headquarter is a no-no and I can't live on the street until they leave. So the only option I have left is hiring a room in a tavern and stay there until everything is over. Yes. Let's go with that. To the tavern!
---10 minutes later---
I've had a couple of taverns suggested to me but the one I have chosen is a low-class one. The ones from the church will surely not approach an insignificant little tavern like this one. Right?
As I enter the tavern I am immediately hit by a foul stench. Ugh! It smells like old cheese and grandmas armpits! No, this will do. Come on, it's either this or dying. But I might end up dying from the stench before everything is over...
I approach the counter where a woman stands.
"Hello little girl! Are you searching for someone?" the woman says while smiling.
"No, but I would like to rent a room" I say as I push a pouch of money over the counter. The woman look surprised for a second before she resumes her smile.
"Oh, but of course! It's 1 silver per night and if you wish a bath and a meal with that you will have to pay 30 copper coins for each day".
"I want to stay here for nine days, with meals and bath included, but I may extent my stay later on. Is that ok?"
"Yes, of course. You can always extent your stay as long as you've got the money". I give her the money and I can feel the other guests staring at us, or rather, at me. It's making me feel uncomfortable.
((Mistress, do you want me to pull their eyes out?)) Rowan asks.
((N-no! I don't want that!)) I protest. And don't say such thing so calmly! That's really worrying!
((I understand)) he simply says. Sigh, what was that all about? I need to have a small talk with him later about... not killing people.
"Thank you for choosing the Shattering Ram, dinner is served in three hours. Your room is the third one on the right" the woman says and gives me a rusty key. I give her a light bow and walk up the stairs. I put the key in the keyhole and enter my room.
... It's not the BEST room I've ever seen but I can make it. I. Can. Make. It. I just need to... Clean it up a bit. And open a window. Do this world have sanitizers?
---30 minutes later---
Ok, I think this will do. It still smell funny but hey, in my old life I once lived next to a dump so I can't complain. And I even got some flowers in the window. They may be dead, but still! Wait... What if I could... Bring them back to life?
... I'm gonna try. I need to try. Healing magic!
---5 seconds later---
Success! I have revived the dead! It costed me a lot of MP but it was all worth it! Call me a phoenix already! Or a necromancer... No, a phoenix. I'm a good guy after all. Not a villain. Nope.
The previously withered leaves have now regained their colors and I can feel a faint smell emerging from the flower. it smells like... cinnamon. And sunshine.

Suddenly a blue screen appears before me.
//You have gained the skill Minor Revival!//
Heck yeah!!! This is amazing! Mwahahahaha! Let's have a look at this beauty!
Minor Revival Lv. 1: You have gained the ability to raise the dead!... To a certain degree. You can at your current level revive plants and bugs. But be warned! The individuals you have revived are now undead and crave flesh. They are also quite dumb. The higher the skill level you can revive more complicated beings. MP cost; 1000.
This is not what I wanted. No. Just, no. This is an evil skill. A VILLAIN SPELL! I don't want to create zombies! I just want to help people! But with this skill I will just curse them! Another skill down the trashcan. See you never together with Plague Calling!
I glance at the flower I revived. Please tell me it's just a normal flower.

Oh no. This is no good. I'm sorry flower. Fireball... On that day bird-kind received a grim reminder. That little birds should not play with powers out of their league.
