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.

" I would have swatted it " .....I thought over it again and again. It felt feasible. Swatting it with my branch would probably kill it for sure. And this bug was annoying me as well. But a problem arose, my speed. I was slow as f*ck. I knew that. I wanted to unalive this little bastard not just scare it away after knowing it was the reason for my exp points going down.

I looked at the bug once again. Closed eyes, full focus, happy expression of that bug peaked my anger. I raised my branches and swatted it. I was slow for sure but it gave me a advantage. Before it could react to the threat, I was already above it. Next i swatted with my full power. It died. No resistance, no flying, not anything, it just died. I was happy, now that f*cking bug was gone i could again focus on taking energy and increasing my level.

Just as i closed my eyes. The mechanical voice rang suddenly.

I blinked many times. I calculated my exp points. " I had four from the cultivation , four from killing that insect and i gained four from absorbing its soul." The calculations were correct. I was shocked. Killing that damned insect was the best thing i did. If i had disturbed it and let it go, I would not have been able to gain a level this fast.

Even though i was ecstatic from the level up, something bothered me. What does it mean by absorbing the soul ? How was i able to absorb the soul ?

The system replied still in its stoic voice

THE INNATE SPECIAL TRAIT OF NECROMANCER.....ABLE TO ENSLAVE OR ABSORB THE SOUL OF THE DEAD KILLED BY NECROMANCER

OH ! That was what it was about !!! Now it all made sense. The subordinate column below my various stats was weird on the first place. The subordinate column was for the one i killed and made my slave...

NO....YOU CAN GROW SUBORDINATES WITH THE SOUL YOU HAVE COLLECTED OR RESURRECT THE DEAD

It was not making anysense. Grow subordinates? What the hell...

NOT ABLE TO ANSWER DUE TO USER BEING LOW LEVELED

I wanted to cuss out a few words for the system for giving me such a beautiful answer but i refrained from doing it. Even the system was making fun of me for being low levelled.

I ignored all that and started to look for the changes that i got from the level up. I was for now a low levelled being but with the speed of my level up , i would soon catch up to the level that system want me to be on.
