《The undead who yearned for life》15-Leaving the 9th circle
Advertisement
Just to be sure, after I exited from that space, I took a rock and threw it in the air, after that I used the skill again; while in the I played a bit with the infinite mana at my disposition... and guys, it feels good to be a God.
Do you want a massive earthquake that creates mountains? you can. Do you want to create a sun and stay inside of it because you feel cold? (though I couldn't feel cold or hot), you can; everything inside here is like outside, so if I gain enough control over the elements, I'll be able to create whatever I want and take it to the outside.
This means an unlimited supply of materials; not only that, if time really don't pass, I'll be able to train my reaction speed, my sense of danger and eventually martial arts, if I ever manage to acquire a normal body... and at worst I'll develop a style for my final evolution, in the case that I can't change back to human... though I have some ideas of how to accomplish it, but nothing is for sure in this world.
Following the great destruction that I caused, I decided to wait some more minutes in order to calm down (after being a God for some time I needed to revert back to a mortal... undead)
After calming myself, I exited again, only to find the rock that i threw earlier still falling; this confirm that time does not affect my , now is time to think about what to do.
From my investigations, in the 9th circle I reached the peak strength (when you're able to kill the strongest beast and camp it's spawn point, it's difficult not to gain levels); the only reason I stayed here was to finish the castle, and now that I can bring it with me, I don't see what is keeping me from going in the 8th layer.
With my speed what took me a day at level 1 will now take half the time; the only thing I need to be careful of is to be as discreet as possible when I reach the next circle, though the undead there should still be mindless monster, I don't need to get myself in trouble by underestimating them... from now on even if I can revive, it would still be a .

So, while I have decided to use stealth-like tactics in the new layer, while I'm still here I can relax... now that I think about it, in the wasn't there an option for the mana reserve needed for the upgrades? Let's see.
"Show house upgrades window"
Do you want to see the upgrades for the Hut or for the Castle of the King of Hell?
Let's go with th simple one "show upgrades for the Hut"

Oh my God. This is epic. It seems that if I have the knowledge, the system will recognize everything, let's first try with something simple.
"Upgrade foundations"
The requirements for upgrading the foundation are: 20% earth magic proficiency and 1500 mana, proceed with the upgrade?
Damn, it seems that to automatically upgrade something, the mana needed is higher than normal, let's try something else: "no, upgrade internal coating"
The requirements for upgrading the internal coating are: 15 % nature magic proficiency, 750 mana. You do not meet the requirements
"upgrade running water"
The requirements for the upgrade are: upgrade, 25% water magic proficiency, water mana core. You do not meet the requirements[/td]
So it seems that I need more mana in the skill reserve and I need to acquire the other magic affinities... still there is one of the upgrades that intrigues me: "upgrade distorted space"
[td]The requirements for the are: 60% dark magic proficiency, 15% space magic proficiency, 10 dark mana cores or 1 space mana core, 10.000 mana. You do not meet the requirements.
Ahahahah, I think I'll make a police box with this, then I just need to study teleportation magic and I can go travelling with it, only to hear other people say: , my sister will die from laughing when I'll show it to her.

Well, enough about the future (it wasn't a joke, I'll seriously make it), let's now see the castle options: "show castle upgrades"
............Why nothing is coming out? I said the right thing.
H.E.I_.P.Nope, you didn't say to whom belong that castle, the system needs the complete name, you know? Now be a good ghoul and say the name of the castle of your God, slave
This help function is becoming more and more irritating as time passes, did they already forgot who built it?
Sigh, this is getting nowhere, let's just do as that fucker said: "show upgrades for the castle of the King of Hell"
H.E.I_.P.Now, this is how it's done; no complaint, no cursing, only the real hard truth. Good job slave

Even though the upgrades for this castle are amazing, I feel defeated. I swear that in the future I'll find the idiot who made this program and I'll put its hardware in his butt.
Just at that moment I surpassed the boundary of the 9th layer, onwards to a new hunting groud.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know why but there is a "window" that no matter what I do, it doesn't want to come out, I wonder why.
What's more, the windows can't be saved for successive use, so I don't know if you'll ever see those windows again, maybe I'll just copy and paste them, but even that takes time, we'll see when the time will come. Advertisement Previous

Among Monsters and Men
Mankind has settled the distant world of Orr and devolved into a post apocalyptic late medieval era, at war with its native races. The Crown King has been assassinated by native hands after what seemed would be a tenuous peace. Now his son, Crown Prince Hector, must take the High Throne and renew the call to war. As he uncovers more of the truth, bloody secrets are revealed and even darker revelations...I am inspired by A Game of Thrones, Mark Lawrence's hauntingly dark tone, Joe Abercrombie's gritty combat, and Patrick Rothfuss' beautiful prose; seeking to emulate these elements into my own story.

*Note: The current content of this story up to Volume 2 will remain on RR, but further updates will only be available on Scribblehub. Will also be moving to Tapas in the future.* Hovestile is a world of magic, dangerous monsters and conflict. Earth is a world of science, dominant humanity and endless strife. In an uncertain future, tensions escalate between the nations of Earth as resources fall into perilous scarcity. Cities collapse into anarchy as governments tremble at the world's crisis. Boundaries blur from neglect and outright scorn. In sheer desperation, mankind turned to the stars...and failed. They resorted to more grounded technology and accessed a world known as Hovestile. Hundreds of candidates were carefully chosen to enter this world with plans to prepare for colonization, but contact with the humans of Earth was immediately lost. Over time, the people of Hovestile welcomed any assistance to defeat the monsters threatening their lands. Those from Earth were labeled as Outworld Adventurers, humans with the ability to increase their natural abilities through stats. Those born to Hovestile were referred to as Native Adventurers, original denizens with a natural competence for magic.-----------Alphonse Kneller is one outworld adventurer who dreams of making Hovestile his true home. But on his third dungeon foray, he is betrayed by his adventuring party and left for dead. As he begins to abandon hope, two young catgirl demihumans appear before him named Kirie and Asa. Their mother, Rinka, offers Alphonse a precarious gift known as the Construct Contract. Accompanied by the two demihuman sisters as adventuring partners, Alphonse seeks to make further contracts and establish the guild known as GRIM. Cover art is by sushirollw. Check her stuff out!

The wish trials
The God of reincarnation has brought to many idiots back to life with ridiculous wishes and the high council is sick of it messing up their worlds. So a new God was brought in. One that actually made people earn their new lives. But the actions of this unknown deity cause a boy's life to spiral out of control. After a tragic incident, the boy meets the diety where he requests to be able to fly. To accommodate this desire he allows the Boy to complete his task in the body of a random bird. There's only one problem, this bird cant fly. Follow the voices in the boy's head as he struggles to survive and grow stronger so he can get the life he always wanted. Criticism would be great. I also have heavy dyslexia along with some other metal 'uniqueness' so this whole story is a big F you to it but I am sorry for any and all inevitable mistakes.

Pit against the tides of fate, struggling to change the future. Her nemesis, victim of a cruel life and the irresponsibility of adults.

I hope you had a good time reading! This is my very first book, but I've spent quite the time writing and editing this. So I'm a tad bit confident with this. Sadly, I'm only able to put up 2 chapters weekly. The reason is...I'm still a student. School is hard, annoying and a hassle but necessary. So I'm really sorry for the slow updates, but please bear with me~!(?-?-?) I hope you enjoy reading this ('cuz I sure as hell had so much fun writing this ( • ??•? )). Thanks~!
