Tree Growing Bones: Birth of a Necromancer

When young Auriel tragically meets his end, he awakens to a bizarre reality on the distant planet of Warkinels. Reincarnated as a necromancer tree, he finds himself immersed in a world governed by a real-life game system, where every creature is relentlessly striving to level up and gain strength. Unfazed by his peculiar transformation, Auriel embraces his new identity and sets out on a singular quest: to ascend the ranks and become the most powerful being in the Warkinels. With each encounter, he absorbs the life force of fallen creatures, enhancing his own abilities and expanding his necromantic influence. As Auriel delves deeper into the intricacies of Warkinel’s game system, he discovers hidden mechanics and exploits that allow him to accelerate his progression. Along the way, he forms alliances with fellow adventurers and clashes with rival factions, all vying for dominance in the ever-shifting landscape of Warkinels. Driven by an insatiable thirst for power, Auriel navigates treacherous dungeons, battles formidable foes, and unearths ancient artifacts that augment his necromantic prowess. But with each victory comes greater challenges, as rival players and malevolent forces seek to thwart his ascent. As Auriel rises through the ranks of Warkinel’s hierarchy, he becomes a force to be reckoned with, feared and respected by all who dare to oppose him. Yet, amidst his quest for supremacy, he must grapple with the moral implications of his actions and confront the darkness that lurks within his own heart. Arboreal Ascendance is a riveting tale of ambition, sacrifice, and the pursuit of power, as one boy's journey from death to rebirth leads him on an epic quest to conquer the game of life itself.

A New day .....

My eyes opened only after the system voice rang inside my head once again. I heard it ring one time before but it was not so alarming like this so i ignored the first one.

DING...DING....DING

A DAY HAS BEEN COMPLETED SINCE THE ARRIVAL OF NEW SOULS

RANKING OF THE PLAYERS WILL BE STARTED FROM DAY 7

BE PREPARED....

WOW! A day has ended. There was no any watches here whatsoever and only time I would be able to tell the time was when I looked at my status window. It would tell me how much time has gone since i arrived at warkinels.

I felt that the day was too long. Aren't I advancing too fast? Is this speed for leveling too rush ?

I was feeling smug for a while and the system voiced its concern.

PLAYER IS AMONG 98% OF THE TOTAL PLAYERS...

PLAYER WITH HIGHEST LEVEL NOW IS AT LEVEL 8...

PLAYERS CAN COLLECT EVOLUTION POINTS ONCE THEY HAVE REACHED LEVEL 10...

I....I was too shocked to have heard what the system had said just now. I thought of me gettting to level 2 within a day was too mind blowing but level 8. What the hell did they even do to reach such a level at such short time..? All sorts of questions were bothering me now. What type of monster was level 8 ? Was that even possible ? My leveling speed seems very average compared to level 8.

PLAYERS LEVELING SPEED IS VERY SLOW....

AVERAGE LEVEL OF PLAYERS FROM EARTH IS NOW AT LEVEL 4 AND ABOVE...

PLAYER AT LEVEL 8 HAS KILLED ABOUT 78 FIERCE BEASTS AND 13 PLAYERS...

SPEED UP YOUR LEVELING SPEED AND GET YOURSELF ON THE RANKING THAT WILL BE HELD AT DAY 8...

KILLING MORE FIERCE BEASTS IS SUGGESTED...

The system stopped its mumbling. I stayed silent for a while and thought speed up my leveling speed ... how the fuck was i supposed to do that now ? Killing one puny mosquito took me hours and you suggest that i kill more fierce beasts. I was angry at system as my inability to move was rubbed in my face by the system.

Level 8 has killed 13 players was what i focused next. " 13 PLAYERS " means beings like me from earth right ?

AFFIRMATIVE ....

I was just thinking but system's answer cleared some things for me.

1) killing fierce beast would help me level up faster.

2) killing players was allowed.

3) I was the slowest player to level up and i had only 8 days left to level up now.

Killing of other beings came a littile shocking to me. Transmigrating to another world, turning into a f*cking tree and now murdering. I knew this world was not so welcoming for us as the fierce beast i encountered was a mosquito but it gave me a literal headache. But killing among ourselves..... As a person born and raised under strict rules and laws killing other people seems a little absurd to me.

KILLING FIERCE BEASTS CAN GIVE YOU EQUIPMENTS AND RARE MATERIALS.....

KILLING PLAYER CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH DOUBLE EXP POINTS AND MATERIALS BEFORE THE 1ST RANKING STARTS....

Ohhh! Now this makes a lot of things clear. Double exp points will surely attract player killing also known as pking. And materials are necessary for evolution. Those who evlove fastest will have the chance to be on rankings. Evolution points comes from leveling and evolution material comes from killing beasts. Now everything started tp become clear to me.

Now leveling up seems to pose a huge problem for me. How can i even level up in this 6 remaining days to appear on the rankings.. neither could i move nor could i kill fierce beasts. I am in a pinch now.

All of the things can be thought later on a whole hour has passed since the start of new day. I better start focusing on cultivating and leveling up. After i reach another level i will assign two more points on mobility attribute and see if i will be able to move or not.
