1 01- A balanced diet is one of the secrets of having a long undeath?

I wake up open my eyes darkness and silence are all I can feel around me take me a moment to realize that I can't feel my body nor do I have eyes to open.

'So I failed in the end.'

Strangely enough, my heart feels at peace here in this void seems like my previous problems are irrelevant. 'Who would have thought that death is a so freeing experience, people should try it more frequently. But an eternity in this place doesn't sound so pleasant to me.'

Suddenly I am wake up from my thoughts by a strangely familiar noise and shining worlds appearing in my vision.

~Ding~

['Do you wish to live again?']

[Yes/No]

'That doesn't sound suspicious at all. An unknown entity conveniently offering me a second chance in life at the moment I start to ask for one what are the odds of this being a coincidence...'

~Ding~

['Hey! Do you want to live or not?']

[Yes/No]

'Mother always said that I should try to be more optimistic maybe they are just a good cosmic entity that has taken pity on me. Hahahaha who am I kidding there's no way that I am this lucky, I will probably be selling my soul to some random Cthulhu wanna-be.'

['Hey! dumbass don't ignore me!']

'But in the end what other options do I have... Heh! Whatever who cares I have made up my mind.'

' Oh, great lord or lady of the endless abyss, this lost lamb proclaim his loyalty to your cause I swear to spread chaos and madness whatever I go so all mortals may know and fear your profane name.'

For some moments I can almost feel the void trembling as if agreeing with my words but all come to halt with a sudden scream.

['WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!']

'Hey! shut up, Can't you see that I am making a great decision here!!! Wait a minute... Uhmm... Can we just... Forget all that I said right now?'

['Just say yes and you have a deal']

[Yes/No]

'Yes?'

['FINALLY!!!']

['By the way, I love the confidence in your voice.']

'WHAT THE HELL!!!'

I take a deep breath and start to calm down a little.

'First of all, what kind of customization did you talk about? All the available options are already locked. Second a zombie? Really?

['Look this is not all my fault A&%$#@& interfered with the process.]

[But you can be at ease the interference is beneficial to you so I allowed it. By the way, you seem to be taking all of this very well I thought that at least those (Traits) would make you freak out.']

I sight 'beggars can't be choosers. Can you at least explain the status to me? And why don't I have any points?'

[Ok first, we have your name I don't think I have to explain this to you right? Next, we have your species all I can say about this one is that if you attend certain requirements you can trigger an evolution. When evolving you will receive many options to chose from, all of them related to your previous one, the options have many variations from all around the Omniverse. The rarer the option higher are the requirements.']

['Spiritual and physical ranks are not relevant right now so I going to skip them.]

['Now (status) is the classification of your attributes they can be divided into the following ranks:]

[--- = Any value smaller than 10.]

[E = 10 times the average value of someone with the same physical rank as you, the rest will follow this pattern.]

[D = 20]

[C = 30]

[B = 40]

[A = 50]

[EX = Exceeds the maximum measured value.]

★ = Means that the value can't be numerically quantified. We also have the modifiers but this is a talk to another time.']

['Strenght is what defines your ability to carry weight and apply force to your physical attacks.']

['Agility is a measure of your reflexes, flexibility, and speed.']

['Endurance is what defines how resistant you are to damage, how fast your wounds naturally heal, how much damage you can take before perishing, and the strength of your immune system.']

['Mana is a measurement of your reserves of all kinds of metaphysical energy not physical in nature, and how fast they regenerate.']

['Luck defines your ability to deny fate, and the chances of events transpiring in your favor. All I can say is that you are going to need this.']

['Finally, we have (Traits) don't confound them with (Perks) they are so different that is not even funny, a (Trait) is the manifestation of your nature. The expression of one's self, in normal circumstances, is impossible to acquire a new (Trait) because acquiring one means reinscribing the meaning of your existence...']

['All your (Perks) are locked, and you have no (Skills) right now so I talk about them later when you need it.']

'Ok, can I at least choose the world I go to?'

[No!]

(-_-)

['See you on the other side when you recover your rationality. Ah!! And remember of eating some brains they are good for your health.']

'WAIT WHAT!!!.'

[Bye!]
