The ghoul made his way back in the higher rooms of the manor after leaving his in the basement, and as per orders, he decided to go out to train in order to increase his battle prowess and better follow his master's order, who graciously took him under his wings.
--------------------------Jack POV-----------------------------
I never spewed as much bullshit as I did today in my whole life, I must say that I have some talent in it, if I had found this talent of mine before dying, I would have gone down the politic career.
Doesn't matter, I now need to find a quiet place outside this zone and I should be ok; something is telling me that my can immediately know everything that happens in here, so I better look out for it, I don't want to blow my cover.
I made my way in the undead zone, and after entering in my stealth state I wasted some time killing the undeads in front of the manor in order to keep up the appearances, you never know; if you scheme against someone, that someone could have already prepared a counter scheme, it's always better be at least three to four moves ahead and never think they can't see through your plans... especially when your age in two lifes is less than theirs in only one.
By the time I killed all the undeads in front of the manor four hours passed, but my stamina is still in the 3/4 range, so I'm not worried of being caught in the middle of another battle, it's time to go slightly away and review my past notices and status.
"Show log".
You died.
You were revived by the Hell's rules to the beginning of your last evolution at the best conditions for it; Hell declines any and all responsibilities for any temporary/permanent damage that this process may have been created in your body.

WELCOME TO HELLWelcome to the 7th circle of hell.
If you can read this, my best regards, it means you reached the minimum level of intelligence necessary to access to the system
(quite rare on that level, you're the most intelligent idiot out there, must feel good).
The rules here are simple:
1) You can do what you want, but beware, you are not alone.
2) You will always be revived, so don't worry about dying.
3) If you want a more eternal death, please head to one of the many exits.
4) Please, make me laugh with your struggles.
Thanks to the way you died, you developed a way to resist to mental attacks, this includes every kind of status that can affect your mind (overload, charm, sleep, exc.), thus creating the skill Mental fortitude.
Because the skill Mental fortitude is complementing with the skill Severed by fate, which prevents any kind of mental control, the two skill fused to become Defier of fate
As you revived with Hell's rules, your memories from after your evolution should have been wiped out, but because of the skill Endless memories, you kept both your memories and your mastery over your skills, however your resistance against light has been reset to 79% as it's considered your body adaptation to light.
Because of your actions while in the Nether realm, you gained 15% dark magic profiency.
Because your dark magic proficiency surpassed the 50% mark, you gained the .
Congratulations, because of your experience in traveling between worlds and realms, you gain 25% spatial magic proficiency.
Someone tried to force a lifelong telepathy contact with you, but because of the Defier of fate skill, you have the possibility to reject him.
You accepted the forced lifelong telepathy contact, because you were prepared for it, the being who proposed it didn't find anything strange, as if his forced telepathy contact completely succeeded.

Someone tried to influence your mind, but the Defier of fate skill protected you.
Woah, does this mean that from now on I'm completely immune from any kind of mental attack? This sure is helpful, considering the fucker down there can kill me with only a thought.
Moreover, this gives me new option, if I play my cards right, then I should be able to advance to the first part of my evolution plan with an even better result than even my imagined , I only need to pull it off... the best thing is, he gave me all the information needed thinking I would forget after he killed me.
He's really the best kind of villain one could hope for.... the ones who fuck themselves by revealing everything to the protagonist, the difference is that I couldn't do a comeback before dying; for this I'll give him a passing grade, though if it was everyone else but me, then his plan would have been perfect.
It seems that a long life does help in these kind of things.
Let's put things in order, first I need to figure out this spatial affinity; let's see what I can do. I used spatial magic around me, just like an elemental cloak, but as I tried, the magic covered a good ten meters around me... and I that hoped for some kind of immunity to physical attacks.
This being said, I can now feel everything in those ten meters, and when I say everything, I really mean everything; from the soil to the air, from the old bones under me to the magic particles around me; though I am some kind of black figure, spatial magic can't pass me, so I think that everything with life... no, that can't be right, spatial magic can't go through things that have too much magic particles in them.
Congratulation, because your understanding of space, you developed the skill Space coordinates
Because of the synergy between the skill Spatial coordinates and the skill Instinct of the beast, this skill will be absorbed by the Instinct of the beast skill
The world around me abruptly changed, now I can feel even more precisely, it's like I can tell the exact distance between me and everything else down to the millimeter (even more if I concentrate on it).
I don't know how this will be useful to me, even if I know that I'm 3.6594 meters away from the wall, then wh-
From a second to another I found myself at 0.1286 meters from the wall.
Congratulations, because of your actions you developed the skill Blink
Ok, now I understand, no need to think that if I had make a mistake I would have found myself one meter inside the wall, let's try to use both the spatial affinity and the Summon house skill, here I go.
Congratulations, because of your actions you developed the skill Spatial pocket
I was finally able to develop my inventory? "Show skill Spatial pocket"
Spatial pocket: a passage in the space that leads to your dimension; you still need to use mana to take and send inanimate objects to your dimension, but with this you'll be able to easily retrieve things.
The MP consumption varies from 0.1 MP for coins to several hundreds for carriages.
It's useful, but for now it doesn't matter, for now I need to train, the target is to hit level one hundred.

8 132Call it a Mission
Palantine and Co. is an unusual company that does its work in an unusual field. But it's attractive enough to out of work Gary Bellamy, and offers decent pay and a good benefits package. But there are a few things a little strange about the local office. The CEO is perpetually out of town, apparently in search of ‘Enlightenment’. His co-workers are involved in research and investigations involve the likes of Bigfoot, ghosts, walk-ins and other supernatural phenomena, for who its not quite clear. It all seems a bit dodgy to Gary but again, good benefits package. Ephram Palantine is having problems of his own. His search for Enlightenment hasn’t been going all that well, has lead down some rather bizarre rabbit holes. It's about to get a lot worse. The employees of Palantine and Co. are themselves hoping their new hire is exactly what they need. Otherworldly phenomena is on the rise. A seven year old girl has gone missing in northern Michigan, and they are sure it involves something that happened to Gary when he was a boy, thirty years ago, not to mention that there have been sightings of same identical dead man on a Lake Erie beach now for several decades. Some might call what Gary and his co-workers are about to get involved in to protect humanity from a world whose borders with other realities are fraying at the edges, incredible and perhaps even insane. Some might call it a mission.
