Wat da hayl ya say!?
Okay! Wait wait, let me repeat it.
Wat da hayl ya say!?
This is just outrageous! Why would you suddenly make a world fucking notification with me as the main character!? Stupid Siri!
No, that's not the issue okay? I mean, why would I suddenly receive a test without even proper notice? You should at least tell me that you will be testing me in this very forest pops... I was just figuring out how the goblins will open up to me... However, as I was grumbling about pops, a notification, most probably dedicated to the Hero being tested, me in short, came dinging in my ear.
Notice [You have been officially granted the honor to enter the Hero's Test for becoming the representative of the god of the undead into the mortal world.
Your Test is to reach the center of the forest by conquering the points every layer had, the point can be right in front of a layer's door, or on the other side of the layer, you must find all of them and capture them.
Once a layering point has been captured, you have free reign with it and can do anything you want except for the point of the fifth layer, once that point is captured, you must give the authority of the point to your god.
Passing the test means immense power and failing it means your demise.
Because this is a test, adjustments have been made to accommodate the challenge needed by the Hero Prospect.]
And then, another ding came out of my head.
Notice[ The God of Undead has removed the [Monarch] Status of the undead race in the five-pronged forest, all beings in the forest will now not cower in fear in their sight and will attack them without any hesitation.]
And then another.
Notice[ The 50% decrease in EXP. The requirement ability has been removed to the Unique Skill: [Hastened Human Evolution].
The Title [The Mortal Child of the God of Undead] has a new ability to compensate for the loss.
+300 mana.
+1 to STR, INT, VIT, DEX, and AGI
10% increased affinity towards the Dark Element (Not Available because of lack of the skill)
The Prospect is advised to evolve her undead before proceeding to the test.
Good luck, and may your almighty god bless you.]
The stream of notifications then finally stopped, leaving me able to understand what was happening for most of the situation, no actually, I already expected this but not to this extreme extent. Who would have thought that a baby will be put to a test in the early month of her life with a remark that says that if she passed then I live and when she failed, I die, that's a little extreme you know?
The system notification that rang out from the ever so-lazy Siri answered my question from the very first day of my journey, it seems like the reason why all monsters in the forest are scurrying away with tails between their legs is that undead are the 'monarch' of this place, well Monarch he said but weak-ass goblins are in the layer closest to humans, while strong beings like that giant are in the center.
Plus they don't have a city or anything to protect these people.
Well, I could say they have shit for territory management.
Anyway, [Guide], I have a question.
Can you pinpoint the location of the points stated by the system notification?
... If yes please give me a visual of their general location by making beacon signals into the points.
Uhm... [Guide]?
The Earth to [Guide]!!
BINGI KA BA!? (ARE YOU FUCKING DEAF!?)
This is kind of strange... Usually, it will not even take a milli of a second for my skill to respond, but as if he is ignoring me, not even a trace of his presence can be felt...
I thought so as I noticed something beyond the word strange, except for light and air, everything came to a halt, not figuratively, but, literally, the birds flying around stopped from their trails, and the falling leaf hang in mid-air as if some invisible strings are supporting them and anything not in the immediate skin touch of me came to an abrupt halt as if time itself stopped from working.
And thinking that this is a fantasy world, is the most probable explanation I can think of, for it seems like all of my system skills are rendered inaccessible in this time-stop phenomenon.
Suddenly, as if on cue, a voice made by thousands of people but was surely spoken by a single person alone resounded in the whole area.

(Welcome to the world without time, blessed one.)
The voice came from everywhere, yet I know that the person who suddenly appeared in front of me, that have a hairy body and looks extremely like the giant who appeared in the center of the forest, is the one behind the voice that sounds young, teen, adult and old at the same time as if it is indeed that this place has no concept of time and the past present and future are all existing at the same time.
The only thing is that his voice was muffled by something similar to what he is saying but with different voices that have different pitches, tones, and speeds all ringing at the same time in complete whack.
"W-who are you!? No, you're that giant at the last layer, right?"
My voice, to my surprise, is also like the hairy guy with a cigar in his mouth, really like a Kapre, but the difference is that the man has a manly sounding voice while mine contained several womanly voices
From a child to a teen, and then a luscious and seductive adult and domineering voice, with also several mufflers-like voices with also voices of different tones, pitch and is also not in harmony, what the fucking hell is this.

(Good luck on your journey to becoming a hero, my daughter, I shall watch you from afar and see if you are worthy of the name I have given you.)
I feel my brain which I thought had infinite capacity throb with a migraine, why can't he just turn off the sound effects? I shook off the headache as I was about to ask something, the giant spoke, now not having the sound effects, wow, did he just read my mind?
"And... Do you know why you got injured in your fight with the goblin earlier?"
He has that voice of wisdom on it, as if a minute of his oral autobiography will fill me with the knowledge to conquer a nation.
"Because I was surprised attack-"
With a faint shake of his head, the kapre disappeared and the time started to flow once again normally, why the disappointed look?
... Well, not my fault if he's disappointed, I guess if you're so strong that you can cut chunks of a mountain and make it a wall so that the moment when your god released the protection he is giving to his people, they will be prepared, after all being attacked by losing the Monarch Status is not just about my undead, it also means that undead in the center of the forest.
How did I conclude that the undead is the ones occupying the center of this large ass forest? Well, who would snatch a monarch status in a race of a place that had that abomination? And also, yeah, common sense will tell that because there's no undead outside then they might be inside.
Well, that's about it, and I am quite calm despite knowing that I am having a test right now, the last test I took is millions of years ago after all (counting the time I am in the void), and it is in a paper.
And oh... I should evolve, but first, let us look at the stats of my subordinates.
I immediately asked them to come into my presence and then they immediately came running in front of me.

_Huh... Kabuto is already at the ninth level..._
I thought so while scheming through their new stats, their skills are still the most basic of the basics, and I am quite disgruntled about that, this is kind of inconvenient given that I will be going on a test, actually I am already taking the Hero's Test right now and what I am doing can be referring to as preparations, good thing I marked the layers with different colors with [Guide]'s help, and apparently, the system will beacon the locations of the points that I have to conquer so I immediately memorized it.
So the only lacking is their evolution, and I bet by Siri recommending this move that they will get some kind of skill, a Unique one at best or a title with a title skill at minimum.
Well, I am anticipating it.
Oh, and I have to evolve too, though don't expect too much of a grandiose change because I am one hundred percent certain that I will not evolve into something appealing, well if you find a baby who can cleave a goblin dilf into half interesting, then you might enjoy it...
Hmmm...
Newborn, baby, toddler, child, pre-teen, teenager, adult, and elderly.
I don't like the sound of elderly so I will assume that I will have the adult as the peak of my evolution... And I can say that there will be a long time before I can reach it.
That being said, time to evolve.
"Then, go forth and multiply your EXP.!"
I ordered so and all of them nodded, because there is already none of the monarch stuff the system is talking about, I can rest assured that they will evolve soon.
[Master, I suggest you don't get your hopes high too much, besides having new skills, evolutions will not have any significant change besides being more beautiful or handsome until they reached the peak of the evolution tree of their race, Lyra for example, will remain a goblin but cuter.]
Shut up, will you? And why did you only appear now? I was looking for you when that dude with the cigar appeared, yet you are nowhere to be seen.
[Master, my apologies, but The World Without Time disabled all of your skills, including myself. I only learned I was disabled by your memories.]
Huh... Well, that's rough I guess, anyway, time to evolve.
I said so as I immediately looked for a vacant place and just crouched down there, and suddenly, a notification appeared and a feeling so tranquil and comforting that made me fall asleep immediately attacked my being.
Notice[Evolution tree did not find...
God of the Undead: ??? employed evolution tree available, using the employed evolution tree...
Evolving...]
Suddenly, outside, a cocoon appeared in my whole body and the only difference is that no beam came out of me as I evolved and after a whole day, I came out of the cocoon.
I looked at the poodle made of a strange liquid that is inside the cocoon and yeah, this is a boring ass evolution, I just gained hair all over my head, not being bald anymore, and got a little bit taller, nothing more.
Or so I thought.
Notice [Being the very first of your race's long since immemorial history to evolve has granted you the title [First Human to Evolve] ]

Who would have thought that a baby will be put to a test in the early month of her life with a remark that says that if she passed then I live and when she failed, I die, that's a little extreme you know?
The system notification that rang out from the ever so-lazy Siri answered my question from the very first day of my journey, it seems like the reason why all monsters in the forest are scurrying away with tails between their legs is that undead are the 'monarch' of this place, well Monarch he said but weak-ass goblins are in the layer closest to humans, while strong beings like that giant are in the center.
Plus they don't have a city or anything to protect these people.
Well, I could say they have shit for territory management.
Anyway, [Guide], I have a question.
Can you pinpoint the location of the points stated by the system notification?
... If yes please give me a visual of their general location by making beacon signals into the points.
Uhm... [Guide]?
The Earth to [Guide]!!
BINGI KA BA!? (ARE YOU FUCKING DEAF!?)
This is kind of strange... Usually, it will not even take a milli of a second for my skill to respond, but as if he is ignoring me, not even a trace of his presence can be felt...
I thought so as I noticed something beyond the word strange, except for light and air, everything came to a halt, not figuratively, but, literally, the birds flying around stopped from their trails, and the falling leaf hang in mid-air as if some invisible strings are supporting them and anything not in the immediate skin touch of me came to an abrupt halt as if time itself stopped from working.
And thinking that this is a fantasy world, is the most probable explanation I can think of, for it seems like all of my system skills are rendered inaccessible in this time-stop phenomenon.
Suddenly, as if on cue, a voice made by thousands of people but was surely spoken by a single person alone resounded in the whole area.

(Welcome to the world without time, blessed one.)
The voice came from everywhere, yet I know that the person who suddenly appeared in front of me, that have a hairy body and looks extremely like the giant who appeared in the center of the forest, is the one behind the voice that sounds young, teen, adult and old at the same time as if it is indeed that this place has no concept of time and the past present and future are all existing at the same time.
The only thing is that his voice was muffled by something similar to what he is saying but with different voices that have different pitches, tones, and speeds all ringing at the same time in complete whack.
"W-who are you!? No, you're that giant at the last layer, right?"
My voice, to my surprise, is also like the hairy guy with a cigar in his mouth, really like a Kapre, but the difference is that the man has a manly sounding voice while mine contained several womanly voices
From a child to a teen, and then a luscious and seductive adult and domineering voice, with also several mufflers-like voices with also voices of different tones, pitch and is also not in harmony, what the fucking hell is this.

(Good luck on your journey to becoming a hero, my daughter, I shall watch you from afar and see if you are worthy of the name I have given you.)
I feel my brain which I thought had infinite capacity throb with a migraine, why can't he just turn off the sound effects? I shook off the headache as I was about to ask something, the giant spoke, now not having the sound effects, wow, did he just read my mind?
"And... Do you know why you got injured in your fight with the goblin earlier?"
He has that voice of wisdom on it, as if a minute of his oral autobiography will fill me with the knowledge to conquer a nation.
"Because I was surprised attack-"
With a faint shake of his head, the kapre disappeared and the time started to flow once again normally, why the disappointed look?
... Well, not my fault if he's disappointed, I guess if you're so strong that you can cut chunks of a mountain and make it a wall so that the moment when your god released the protection he is giving to his people, they will be prepared, after all being attacked by losing the Monarch Status is not just about my undead, it also means that undead in the center of the forest.
How did I conclude that the undead is the ones occupying the center of this large ass forest? Well, who would snatch a monarch status in a race of a place that had that abomination? And also, yeah, common sense will tell that because there's no undead outside then they might be inside.
Well, that's about it, and I am quite calm despite knowing that I am having a test right now, the last test I took is millions of years ago after all (counting the time I am in the void), and it is in a paper.
And oh... I should evolve, but first, let us look at the stats of my subordinates.
I immediately asked them to come into my presence and then they immediately came running in front of me.

_Huh... Kabuto is already at the ninth level..._
I thought so while scheming through their new stats, their skills are still the most basic of the basics, and I am quite disgruntled about that, this is kind of inconvenient given that I will be going on a test, actually I am already taking the Hero's Test right now and what I am doing can be referring to as preparations, good thing I marked the layers with different colors with [Guide]'s help, and apparently, the system will beacon the locations of the points that I have to conquer so I immediately memorized it.
So the only lacking is their evolution, and I bet by Siri recommending this move that they will get some kind of skill, a Unique one at best or a title with a title skill at minimum.
Well, I am anticipating it.
Oh, and I have to evolve too, though don't expect too much of a grandiose change because I am one hundred percent certain that I will not evolve into something appealing, well if you find a baby who can cleave a goblin dilf into half interesting, then you might enjoy it...
Hmmm...
Newborn, baby, toddler, child, pre-teen, teenager, adult, and elderly.
I don't like the sound of elderly so I will assume that I will have the adult as the peak of my evolution... And I can say that there will be a long time before I can reach it.
That being said, time to evolve.
"Then, go forth and multiply your EXP.!"
I ordered so and all of them nodded, because there is already none of the monarch stuff the system is talking about, I can rest assured that they will evolve soon.
[Master, I suggest you don't get your hopes high too much, besides having new skills, evolutions will not have any significant change besides being more beautiful or handsome until they reached the peak of the evolution tree of their race, Lyra for example, will remain a goblin but cuter.]
Shut up, will you? And why did you only appear now? I was looking for you when that dude with the cigar appeared, yet you are nowhere to be seen.
[Master, my apologies, but The World Without Time disabled all of your skills, including myself. I only learned I was disabled by your memories.]
Huh... Well, that's rough I guess, anyway, time to evolve.
I said so as I immediately looked for a vacant place and just crouched down there, and suddenly, a notification appeared and a feeling so tranquil and comforting that made me fall asleep immediately attacked my being.
Notice[Evolution tree did not find...
God of the Undead: ??? employed evolution tree available, using the employed evolution tree...
Evolving...]
Suddenly, outside, a cocoon appeared in my whole body and the only difference is that no beam came out of me as I evolved and after a whole day, I came out of the cocoon.
I looked at the poodle made of a strange liquid that is inside the cocoon and yeah, this is a boring ass evolution, I just gained hair all over my head, not being bald anymore, and got a little bit taller, nothing more.
Or so I thought.
Notice [Being the very first of your race's long since immemorial history to evolve has granted you the title [First Human to Evolve] ]
Such a unique name...
