Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

—–

It is said that Jobs are a gift from the Gods for the humans/demi-humans who need to fight against monsters and fiends generated by the fragments of the Dark God and also from the dungeons made by the Chaos God. Due to this, it is believed that monsters can’t change Jobs, and it has also been proven when tamers had tried using their monsters to change Jobs.

I’ve investigated as much within the memories of the souls I’ve eaten, and I’ve gotten as much info from them to assume such things.

But well, Majin are also believed to be monsters, and they can still change Jobs. That’s because they’re actually demi-humans, and they do indeed count as people and not monsters, even if they can evolve and have varied morphologies… but the same can be said of beast-kin as they come in all shapes and sizes. Even giants are considered people, and those can go up to three and a half meters which is inhumane.

So can I get a job, or not? Technically, I shouldn’t be able to as I am a Ghost—an Undead Monster. We don’t count as any kind of humanoid being, despite looking and once being a person.

I don’t know if Lucifer’s Dragon race, Partner’s Dhampir race, or the kid’s Homunculus race count, but I’m hoping they can.

Dragons were not seen as monsters before, so they might be part of the demi-human race, but they’re way too ancient and rare to guess it accurately.

Dhampirs could be seen as a lesser version of Vampires, which are Majin, and can change Jobs, I believe. So yeah, perhaps, or perhaps not? And homunculus… I really don’t know.

But here goes nothing.

I touched the crystal and…

…

…

…

“…”

Ah…

Nothing?

Come on!

I angrily slapped the crystal, and it suddenly released a strong shock of green-colored lightning into my hands.

ZAP! SPARK!

The lightning covered my body as I felt a sudden shock of power reach my very soul!

Right after that, I saw several holographic windows emerge before me…

[The [System] Unique Skill special function has been activated]

[Analyzing, Extracting, Copying, and Pasting new [System Function]…]

Wait, hold on! What’s going on now?

I had almost forgotten that my own System is not exactly the same as everyone, who can only see their status through something named Soul Records or whatever. I don’t remember the full name now!

FLASH!

The bright light of the crystal suddenly encompassed my body. I couldn’t help but scream a little bit in surprise.

“Uwaaah!”

[Success]

[Job System] has been analyzed and assimilated]

[You can now change Jobs]

“Huh? That easy?”

Ding!

…

I suddenly fell onto my butt as I saw a massive window pop up in front of my face.

There were… dozens of Jobs that emerged out of thin air, and all of them were available for me!contemporary romance

What!

I saw there was more than just Undead Queen as I continued browsing down the list, and it seemed to never come to an end… and then finally, I arrived a the bottom, noticed I saw there were at least 40 Jobs.

What do I pick?

And wait, did my System just absorb the crystal’s effect and copy-paste it? I guess that’s a good way to completely ignore the rules.

Okay, let’s calm down.

I crossed my legs and sat down on the ground, glancing at the system window and beginning to think what to pick.

Jobs in this world work rather peculiarly. They’re similar to equipping something. So you pick a Job and then “equip it.” The job itself will grant a stat boost, a passive ability, and an enhancement over a certain thing or things, and then specific skills to that job.

However, when you take away that Job, all those extra bonus stats disappear as you replace it for others that might give you something else, which you might hold more favor for.

There are also enhancements to already existing Jobs, which can often emerge. They’re called Job Rank Up, and they’re just better and upgraded versions of existing Jobs.

Usually, people use their jobs quite a lot, and due to this, it is impossible to just go on accumulating Jobs for extra massive stats and new skills endlessly. You have to be decisive in what you want!

And there are so many that I’m having trouble picking…

Nai wa…

Okay, let’s calm down and think.

What do I need?

Using my blade? I have fun using it, but I am not exactly a blade user, so it is more of a side job… yeah… I don’t want it.

My magic? Yes, I can use both shadow/darkness and death magic to act as a necromancer. Also, these are my two strongest powers…

What should I upgrade from these two? Darkness? Death? Or both?

If I only pick one, I can specialize more and grow stronger in that direction… but if I don’t, both might not grow as fast at the same time.

Nonetheless, it is better to pick both anyways as there are some insane Jobs that encompass both of them.

After a few more minutes of pondering this deeply, I decided to pick one of the latest and, therefore, strongest and most advanced Jobs there was on the list.

Ding!
