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.

Reminiscence of the past...

The excitment while asking the system for notifications was unimaginable. I was never this excited ever. I was from a rather well off family so there was very less hardships for me and getting excited for something was a first time experience for me.

I might have been excited when I was little but as the time went by and the family business boomed, the only expectation from me was a degree for show. I would eventually just inherit the business disregarding degree I had.

" What could a child dream of ? "

Chocolates, new and nice clothes, shiny pairs of shoes, toys, nice bicycle and the praises from friends. I had it all.

Brain of child could not understand the complexity of societal structures.The Rich, The working class, The poor all these words meant nothing to a child. A child just knows what his needs are and does things in order to fulfill those needs.

And if a child gets whatever he wants, he starts lose the values of the things important to others. If I wanted a nice cool bike, I would get it. But for some nice cool bike might be a dream that would never be fulfilled.

I got a nice car at my eighteenth birthday. I took it to show my friends and see the looks on their faces. Every friend I had had hints of jealousy oozing out their faces.

Some friends congratulated me, some friendlily mocked me for being a lucky bastard and some had complex expressions. I was happy seeing their reaction but the joy of getting the car was not there. It felt like a natural thing that I got the car.

Asking for something and getting it the same day or the next killed the fire of expectation and achieving the expected thing. It felt like a natural process that I would ask something and would get it no questions asked.

And the things I asked were not so expensive but still were things of imagination for many was what I realized as I made friends and started to get integrated into the society.

The happiness in my friend's eyes when they got a pair of shoes for their birthday or for acheiving good academically would sometimes make me jealous.

Thinking about the past always has a great impact emotionally. I was never a emotional type but now feeling the happiness I once dreamed of naturally reminded me of the past.

The things of past were now on the past. Being sad or happy while remembering the things that happened was I hated the most. What had happened had happened, thinking about it and being sad or happy would gain me nothing.

If a thing had a positive impact, I would try to repeat it. If it had a negative impact, I would learn from it and try to become a better person from then on.

I stopped thinking about the things from the past and looked at the notification infront of me that was shown after I wanted to see what I had gained.

THE USER HAS GAINED A LOT OF EXP POINTS...
