The five goblins that attacked Blake are now imprisoned in Blake's cave.
'God dammit! That's just too much bad luck!
'I've seen some dumb goblins being killed by those humans, Gobin was an example, but be captured by them? That's a first. But why does it have to happen to me?
'Now I have to be imprisoned in this cave with these two humans that don't stop to speak nonsense...
'Of course, I know the human language you stupid. I just don't want to be interrogated or tell you a piece of good information by accident.
'What kind of dumb race that attacks a planet before even knowing its language you take us for?
'I will just observe how those idiots will kill themselves.' The leader of the goblins thought angrily.

"Great! I got to tier five!" Joe said out loud by "accident".
"Congratulations, Joe. You worked hard." Blake acknowledged with sincerity and respect.
When Joe saw Blake's reaction, a smile appeared on his face.
'This guy really has a good heart. I think I found what I was searching for.' Joe thought.
After chatting a little, both Joe and Blake went to sleep.
...
The next morning, the two of them woke up together and prepared for breakfast.
During the eating, Joe commented to Blake:
"Hey Blake, now serious. You said the day we met that you chose to be alone. Do you intend to play alone to the end?"
"Not actually. It's just that the only one in my group that was worth working with, wanted to be alone. Why this question out of a sudden?"
"Look, based on what Jhon said, all of us in this jungle right now are considered a genius of humanity. So, after going out, it is expected that even the worst among us become at least a bit outstanding."
"Yhea Yhea, what's your point, Joe?" Blake interrupted him.
"To be direct, it is that I plan to forge an alliance with the rankers trustworthy. And I want you to help me with it!" Joe said Brightly. A sean that did not match Joe's appearance at all.
However, Blake just looked at him reluctantly.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
'I can make an army of undead in the future. I don't need an alliance.' Blake thought.
"Blake, just as the earth, influence will open a lot of doors for us in the future. Even though we are all week right now, it will change in the future. I will take care of the bureaucratic stuff that comes with being responsible to organize a lot of people. You just need to support me when I want." Joe implemented.
"If I accepted, how do you plan to do it?"
"Simple, I will take the lead and act as the central figure to inspire people to participate in this alliance helping the integrants and being helped by them."
"And why do you need me?"
"Foundation! You are smart and strong, and just seeing your research I can see that you will suppress me easily in the future. I want you to be the vice leader that supports me and, if needed, gives a stronger sense of strength to our alliance with the outsiders."
"You want me to be your lackey? You kidding me right?" Blake was very displeasure with this proposal.
"No! You got me wrong. I won't order you around at all or anything like that. I just want you to back me out as a vice leader. That way you can either support this alliance and receive the benefits with its growth."
"Ok, I got it...
"...Fine, I agree. But I am not good at leading people." Blake answered after a long pause.
"Great! I will stay today to finish the skill you helped me develop yesterday, tomorrow I will go out to search for members."
"Sure."
By then, both of them had finished the meat the jaguars hunted, and Joe was about to go drink a bit of water in the river nearby as they use to do when he said:
"Also, you said that your undead may keep more strength when it takes less damage when being killed. Have you ever thought about killing them through suffocation?"
Joe left after saving that and left Blake thinking.
'That's true, I never thought about it. That should actually be the best method, right?
'And the insects, if I use water to kill them suffocated, I can preserve them entirely and make sure my theories work or not.
'I think that is exactly what I am going to do right now.'
Blake went direct to the river and, with some leaves, made an improvised cup. He filled it with water and went to the middle of the jungle again, surrounded by his undead of course.
He then waited a few minutes for a mosquito to land near the cup on one hand, and direct used the other hand to imprison the mosquito inside the cup with water.
Then he just shook the cup and the mosquito died inside of the cup. He felt the faint death energy and quickly use one of his undead leaves to turn the mosquito into an undead.
Blake kept the mosquito in his hand, waiting for the water left on it to drip. Then, the mosquito was flying again. But this time, the mosquito was practically intact.
Blake ordered it to reproduce. The mosquito directly sucked Blake's blood and after a few minutes, it landed near the cup to lay the eggs. But Blake interrupted and order it to lay them inside the cave.
Back in the cave, the mosquito started to lay the eggs, but just a few seconds after, the eggs exploded.
'That's a totally different result! Great!
'Based on what I observed when the eggs were laid, they had ether undead energy and life energy.
'Since the mosquito sucked my blood when I asked it to reproduce and an undead created by the skill "My undead creation" would not harm me unless I asked. Blood was needed to reproduce.
'Moreover, the life energy should have come from the blood then, since there shouldn't be life energy inside an undead mosquito.
'So the eggs could be laid last time because the mosquito luckily kept the blood it sucked before ding. That is why they were already dead.
'However this one could suck the blood after death, since the cells worked as they used to before death, the procreation was a success. But, the excess of life energy from my blood overwhelmed the undead energy from the mosquito's process, and, in the end, it exploded as an undead who absorbed too much life energy.
'They need the life energy to continue the cycle and turned from an embryo to a mosquito, but the undead energy quickly corrupts the cells turning all of them into undead. What should I do?'
Blake was tucked in a dilemma in his research and decided to kill some more mosquitos and keep testing and studying them.
...
Meanwhile, a girl was holding a sword and slashing it through the wood of some tree trunk. It cut the small tree into two with only one slash.
Close to her was a beautiful youth with blond hair and green eyes.
Suddenly the boy started to lose height, his blond hair turned black and his eyes turned brown, and, lastly, some of his facial characteristics changed, turning him into a sure not beautiful face.
"Shit! I could hold it just for a few minutes!" He shouted.
The girl stopped balancing her sword and said while looking at the boy:
"Stop trying to use your abilities to turn into someone else and develop your class into something more useful, Liam!"
"Shut up! That was who I really am! My real appearance! I clicked to create a random character in the game because I NEVER THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE MY APPEARANCE ONE DAY!"
"Calm down, it's just superficial appearance..."
"That's what all girls say before rejecting the ugly and sticking up with the beautiful."
"That's so not true!"
"You say it now, but Shofia got hit because I accidentally scared her when I got too close to her. If it was, Absko or Michael, she would jump over their arms."
"That sound like jealousy to me."
"It's not jealousy, I am just saying that while we were focused on fighting that ugly creature called goblin, for an instant, because of my ugliness, SHE GOT MORE AFRAIND OF ME THAN THE GOBLIN."
"Stop screaming, we are going to attract more goblins."
"Don't worry too much, Absko and Michael destroyed the village next to us."
"Anyway, I need to keep training and you too, so just shut up and work."
"Right, I need to recover my handsomeness."
