The higher the level, the more difficult it became to level up. Yet for him, that was not a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After slaying numerous Level 7 and Level 8 beasts, Thoren arrived at another junction where the tunnel split into five massive passages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before one of the tunnels stood a party of five, standing with confidence. When they saw Thoren and his skeleton, they were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their leader, a tall, confident boy, furrowed his brow as he regarded Thoren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Necromancer... not just any Necromancer, but a powerful one,\" he thought, stepping forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren looked at the approaching boy and furrowed his brow as well. He did not dwell on it; he prepared to enter one of the tunnels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I have a word with you?\" Thoren asked calmly, his voice steady with quiet confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Thoren halted in his tracks and regarded him coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Orven, Level 8 Awakener.\" Orven said, his voice laced with pride. \"These are my party members.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured to the group behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren nodded but said nothing. He did not yet understand why he had been stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’d like to invite you to join our guild.\" Orven’s eyes shone with expectation. \"Don’t rush to reject my offer.\" He added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our guild is one of the top five strongest on this floor. With us, you won’t have to worry about others attacking you because of your occupation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, the government wouldn’t target you for turning humans into undead servants,\" he explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren remained quiet, his expression unreadable. In the past, he might have considered such an opportunity to join a top guild, but not now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What were the top five guilds?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his ever-increasing undead army, what was there to fear? As for the government, he sneered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already been targeted by them; why should he care about their opinions? If they thought they could bully him into submission, he would unleash his full undead army in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the quiet boy, Orven’s confidence grew. To him, it seemed unlikely that a lone Necromancer would refuse an offer to join one of the top five guilds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was common knowledge that a Necromancer needed powerful backing to survive in the abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those without powerful backing, they were easy targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a member of the Crimson Arc Guild, Orven had been privy to many secrets that eluded ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren did not know what was going on in Orven’s mind as he looked at him and asked, \"What is the name of your guild?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crimson Arc Guild,\" Orven replied with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren nodded and answered, \"I’ll keep that in mind, but for now I’m not ready to join any guild.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orven and his party members were stunned. They had not expected him to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure?\" Orven’s eyes darkened. \"Don’t think that a few skeletons will keep you from being targeted. I’d advise you to reconsider.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren shook his head. \"Thank you for the offer, but no.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he strode away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching him go, Orven ground his teeth for a moment before a faint smile escaped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fool!\" one of the party members sneered. She was one of the two females in the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, you don’t need to dwell on him. When people start to target him, he’ll realize what a golden opportunity he missed, but it will be too late.\" A boy added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orven nodded. He glanced in Thoren’s direction for a moment, then decided not to dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1024,"2026-06-03T10:41:31.485Z","2026-06-03T10:41:38.326Z",1,"novelbin.me","fb3605d77fc1a49d46a3fac426d7bbefbbab741967f3398de89235cd35ef0217","global-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-chapter-19","global-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-chapter-17",326,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-i-have-endless-skeletons-cover.jpg"]
