My eyes flickered with fla once again.
After I was swallowed by the pressure and magic from the magic circle, I was terrified. I gambled on little information and it worked, but I wasn’t sure if I’d actually land in another world.
Hell, I wasn’t even sure if they existed.
For a few seconds, I had been subjected to great darkness where I couldn’t see anything, even the off-white colour of my body.
It felt like I was in a dark, stagnant place.
Then, an opening appeared in the void and spat out.
I landed too fast to see where I was.
Now, I lay skull down on the ground.
I used my bony hands to push off where I lay and stood.
I raised my skull to see with my flickering flas the DISGUSTING scenery before !
Life.
Large protrusions stemd from the ground and rose into the air, at their ends, green swaying monstrosities that scread of life.
Where I stood was not the black ground I was used to, but brown soil that seed rich, bearing thin, green children everywhere.
Flesh , bro.
The sky was blue, flying creatures streaking across.
WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?
My body jerked and a couple of words appeared in my head.
Trees.
Grass.
Leaves..
Damn it! What the hell does that an?!
And…
Why does it seem so bloody familiar?!
Eeewwww!
From the blue, the voice I had heard before spoke again.
[Greetings young undead. Please make haste and settle your affairs].
Huh?
This voice was coming from my head.
I rembered hearing sothing about the Voice of Whatever when I was in Somanda’s tower.
[Would you like to check your status before it’s too late?]
‘Umm…what? Before what’s too late? What is this status?’
As soon I finished thinking those words, a red, half-transparent light screen appeared before my socket flas.
It had details inscribed on it which I focused on to perceive.

‘…’
“What is this?” I spoke. “And who are you? You’re creeping out.”
[I am the Voice of Worlds.
I am a guide to those who have achieved certain requirents.
I appear as the panel before you, called a Guidance field. This just happens to be its miniaturised version.
This is your status. It shows your current state in terms of Individual Information, statistics and skills].
I didn’t want to rage out yet. But I noticed so things that I needed answered. My socket flas flickered.
“Can you please kindly tell why that Inv whatever status says I’m currently Dood?”
[Please click that thread with your…finger and expand the information].
I looked at my finger and poked the Status. Strings of information being unfolded in the next mont.

[Dood Factor 1: Disowned
Your master, Undead Lich Somanda has cut off his mana supply to you. Under normal circumstances, you would cease to exist. However, the benevolent VOW has granted you ti to decide your own fate. If you cannot do that in the ti given, you will et your end.
Ti till DF1: 24hrs

Dood Factor 2: Existential Crisis
Your distinct perception and absorption of mana throughout the years has caused you to start awakening what should have been lost a long ti ago. If you fail to recover and rember this in ti, you will suffer a crisis of your own existence and descend into madness.
Ti till DF2 : 1yr ]
~~~
‘…..’
“So let get this straight. I am basically about to die or go mad from these two…..factors?
Flesh this! I completely forgot that Somanda owns and can just stop supplying with mana!
Arghh! What is it that I am supposed to recover! You know it don’t you, voice in my head?!” I yelled.
[Please refrain from calling that and call Voice of Worlds or VOW for short.
Yes. I know everything about you. You have been getting short bursts of mories that confuse you. You’re supposed to find out what they are. Even though you keep getting bits of them, this process is happening in an unstable manner. Furthermore, I cannot interfere with your path. My duty is to guide].
Hmmm. Well. There’s my motivation. A vague adventure with bigger stakes than a countryside butchery.
Wait! What was that? ARRRGHHHHHH!
Okay okay. I’ve kept my cool long enough.
“HEY, why am I called a Moronic Undead?!” I barked. “What kind of stupid na is that?! Level, None?? What’s that anyway? Strength Null, Agility Null?? Intelligence, h???! What are these comnts? Explain yourself, BRO!”
I heard a scoff in my head.
[Please refrain from calling , Bro! Everything on your status will be described with a comnt until you have a level.
Your current attributes are so dismal that you lack a level. A level is part of a power asurent system used across Worlds.
As for your race. That is YOUR race. A moron embodied in bone. That is why your kind was only sent to the mines and not given important tasks. You’re a closed-ended species that has limited requirents for any form of growth. So…yeah].
Well, that’s discouraging and insulting!
How am I a moron? Bonet yes, but ?!
I swear I’ll kill Somanda one day!
I looked around and felt sothing in the air. There was a peculiar sensation tingling around . It was sothing I was well accustod to. I almost laughed when I felt on my bones. Mana.
[As you’ve noticed, there is an abundance of mana here unlike in Deadmanland. This is a possible path for you to cure DF1. It’s also a path for you to evolve from the Moronic Undead race].
There’s so much mana here!
I extended my hand and ran my bones in the air feeling the chill of mana. My core was yearning for it.
“Maybe it won’t be so bad,” I tried to comfort myself.
I can finally explore mana to my core’s content!
“If I’m supposed to save myself from the mana problem I’m going to have to supply my own mana right?” I asked.
[Yes. However, you can only do that if you evolve from your current race and gain a level. The DF1 will not be a detrint solved in one instance. A continuous supply of mana will be needed at all tis. First, you need to increase your mana capacity through evolution. I would recomnd that you aim for Tier 1. Please check your skills].
Hmmm. Why do I feel like my life is about to beco an even bigger socket hole?
I focused on the skills and they gave strings of information.
