《The undead who yearned for life》32-Forced evolution
Advertisement
And with this, all our enmity is finished; this idiot ancestor will forget everything about me, and I intend to wipe out this manor, so that he'll be unable to understand what's going on when he revives.
I also wanted to put a trap so that once he revives, he'll die again and again in the most painful way possible, but considering his strength and this place, it's extremely unlikely that I can pull off something like that, he'll escape of the undeads will mess up whatever I'd build.
For now let's fulfill my plan: now that I have his bones, it's time to change my body, and in order to change body, I need to use the skill Soul apparition.
As I started infusing myself in the bones, they started to violently shake, as if to oppose me from taking possession of them... I guess that there is some truth when people say that the bones are sacred to the person who died and are needed in order to ascend to paradise.
This is all good and well to know, but because he was an asshole and we're already in Hell, I'm not going to regret anything. I started to push myself in the bones with all the power that I could muster from my soul, without holding anything back.
Time passed, and after half of the day, I could feel the attachment to my old bones completely break, while my soul completely merged with the new ones.
Because of you action, you underwent a forced evolution. You're now a Skeleton ancestor.
Because of your evolution, you gained the .
Because of your evolution, your vitality stat raised.
Because of your evolution, your resistance against light is back to -89%.
Not bad, now I only need to know what happened to me: "show status, show ".

Vampiric trait (half-sealed): you're able to obtain a 50% strength temporary buff and 100% health from the blood of your victim when you drink his blood, but in exchange for this ability you suffer from the sun.
By leaving a victim alive, there is the possibility that he will mutate in a weaker vampiric race.
During the night you will be two times as powerful, but during the day you will have only half of your strength.
You're also weak to silver.
You also thirst for blood.
Because of the Defier of fate skill, you resisted the status.
Woah, I gained a whole five hundred points in vitality, if I wasn't sure that with my plan would grant me even more strength and how I look, I wouldn't mind putting all my points in vitality.
Regarding the , I'm sure enough that it's simply an advanced form of sun allergy or something like that, but I don't have to worry about it for now, because... a skeleton doesn't have flowing blood, though this is the most optimal situation to deal with it: I'll simply cut my dorsal spine open to let the sun penetrate in the marrow.
If I had blood then that would mean my death, but because I don't, my marrow will evolve in order to adapt to the sun, so that when blood will be produced, it will not reject the sun.
Following this line of reasoning, I also plan to mix oricalcum and mithril in an alloy, then I'll grind them into powder, that will then be applied to my skeleton, effectively reinforcing it and eliminating my silver weakness; I hope for a second forced evolution at the end of all of this.

The most dangerous part in this trait is the , honestly it scares me; though I'm sure enough that in the surface there will be not a lack of people who deserve death from which I can harvest blood, I read too many novels in which something like that is the downfall of the MC, so I hope that it will disappear.
After standing up, I started to get used to this body; I'll not do the same error twice and crash somewhere in the room, so I directly entered my dimension in order to test my hypothesis and control my newfound stregth.
After using some of the materials harvested from the ancestor in order to confirm my hypothesis, I used the Soul apparition skill to cut my dorsal spine, and after making the alloy powder, I walken in the zone where time is not stopped.
The pain that I could feel during my newfound self-torture method of evolution was even more than losing my flesh as a ghoul, not to mention the alloy of oricalcum and mithril slowly cladding my bones... in the future I must learn to think before putting in use my ridiculous ideas.
Two or three days passed before the pain receded, but it worked.
Because of you action, you underwent a forced evolution. You're now an Armored twilight skeleton.
Because of your evolution, the evolved.
Because of your evolution, your vitality stat raised by 150 points.
Because of your evolution, your resistance against light is now -79%.
"Show ".
Vampiric trait (half-sealed): because of your evolution, your vampiric instinct and power greatly diminished, from now on if you drink someone blood, you will be able to obtain 5% of their total health, mana and stamina point (this only if you drink all the blood of your victim).
You lost both your buff during the night that your debuff during the day, however there is always a moment between them in which miracles can be realized...
You lost the ability to mutate someone.
You lost tour weakness to silver.
Your thirst for blood will be replaced by heightened sexual desire.
Perfect if I say so myself, I managed to obtain all the benefits and none of the backlash, so I can consider myself a genius... wolverine does teach you something, though I don't intend to create those claws on me, this is still a good result.
The only thing that preoccupies me is that , as long as I stay undead it's nothing to be afraid of, but if I do manage to effectively revive... better to not think about it for now, there is still a long way before my revival.
For a period of time now I'll need to train in controlling my body, I wanted to learn martial arts, but it's still too early to practice them, when you're only bones, the movement will be a lot more free, so I'd have to relearn them once I regain muscles and tendons, making the time previously used a loss of time.
I also intend to keep my three hundred spendable stat points for now, as I don't plan to put them in vitality and for now the system gives me only that option.
I'll give myself a week before heading to the next layer... I only hope to be able to obtain experience along the way, after all those evolutions, I'm not so sure.
