Rise of the Undead Legion

The Death Knight armor was the standard issue equipment for all Death Knight ranked Undead.

There were a range of design option for the set, and the armor’s appearance and fit adapted to different Undead types. But the basic configuration and bonuses remained the same for everyone.

The armor was forged from a dark metal, the color was a deep blue that shaded to black when seen from different angles.

The barbute style helmet had a high crest of bristly hair running from front to back. The faceplate presented a grim, intimidating visage to the world. The wearer’s identity was hidden by the eerie blue glow that was emitted from the T-shaped opening.

The chest piece had a skull enameled on it, the eyes glowing with the same blue light that came from the helmet.

Dave had always thought the Death Knights were impressive looking, even intimidating, striding around in their heavy armor. He was excited and impatient to see what he would look like in all that metal badassery.

Not to mention what it was going to do for his stats. How the armor looked was cool, but in the end he would wear rags if they did for him what this armor would do. The thought of all the bonuses and what his stats would look like set his inner Evil-Overlord to cackling and rubbing his hands together once again.

He’d been waiting for this a long time. He took the armor out from his inventory and lovingly inspected the set piece-by-piece.

"Whoa, those bonuses are outrageous. But I’m going to need to raise my Strength stat to equip it."

He added 40 points from his unused attribute points to Strength, then finally, taking a deep breath, he equipped the Death Knight armor set.

He looked down, at his metal encased arms, his legs, and checked the range of movement and his visibility within the helmet.

He checked his interface.

"YES! The set-bonuses on this armor are OP! The Dave likes, yeah!"

The Death Knight’s armor was unlike any other Player’s armor in the game, it was truly an exceptional set. It added enormous amounts of Strength and Vitality. And it would be useful to him for many levels to come.

With the exception of a few elites who wore ultra-powerful gear he had the best armor of any Player under level 400. With it equipped he had far more than a normal amount of HP for someone of his level, enough to rival most regular level 400 Players.

Title

I know it all!

Grand Strategist!

"Sweet! Hmmm, I still have the Chaos runes from the Blood Stone mines. Maybe they will fit into this armor’s sockets..."

Interlude

"So, it’s fixed now?" a developer asked the programmer about the AI.

"Yeah, Alfie’s reset. At least for however long it takes him to get his knickers in a twist again."

"Yeah, this is a pain, we just de-bugged him. I don’t understand what is going on with his antics. We should get him a shrink."

"Nah. They all work for the government, mostly the military. Besides, those guys charge crazy money for their ’special’ services, we’re not budgeted to use them."

"Whaa...I was joking! That’s really a thing? Shrinks for AIs? Therapists?!"

"Yep sure is. They aren’t really called therapists, they have some lonnng fancy title. There’s only a few in the entire world. And it’s definitely not a medical profession. It’s a graduate-level multi-degree study in computer-science, electrical engineering, quantum physics and, believe it or not, philosophy. But it comes down to being an AI therapist. They started the program after the GAI laws were passed."

"Jeez. AI therapists. Unbelievable. The truth is out there...and it’s more fucked-up than fiction ever is."
