Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

—–

I looked into my own Status and quickly saw the growth I had attained after the frenetic leveling I got. As everyone was resting and slowly packing items and other things laying around (including the meat of the Flesh Dragon, which Partner was grilling over a fire), I decided to quickly evolve. I had imagined what sort of insane evolutions I would get; the last two evolutions were already strange.

I mean, Pandora and Gorgon? I could had never guessed there would be a race of ghosts named like that… But there are. And each evolution brought me some pretty amazing new Skills and enhancement to my powers. The latest one, Gorgon, helped me divide myself into little clones, which allowed a lot of new tactics and things to do with my own capabilities. Even the power of being in many places at the same time.

Now, what sort of weird things will emerge? Hmm…

I looked into the Evolution Options at long last, tired of recalling the past evolutions.

[Available Evolution Options]

[Apophis]

[Abyssal Titan]

[Echidna]

[Lamashtu]

[Beelzebub]

And we start strong, five new evolution options. God, I wish I could just pick all five of them, but that’s now how it works at all. I must choose, but first, we must check them all. And without even checking them and based solely on first impressions, I can already say that this is a tad bit insane. I am fairly sure Apophis is a snake god from Egyptian Mythology that represents chaos and destruction, then there’s Echidna, the mother of all monsters of Greek Mythology, who gave birth to Typhoon, a chaotic monster that even Zeus had a hard time dealing with, then Lamashtu, a monstrous demonic evil goddess of Mesopotamian Mythology that… I think it ate babies?

And lastly, Beelzebub, the literal Archdemon of Gluttony, he’s a fly most of the time, so he might be associated with famine as well… Oh right, “Abyssal Titan” I don’t know what’s that. Maybe the titans of Greek myth got an evil and edgy version that I can evolve into? Nonetheless, time to check their descriptions to clear out my mind about what they’re all about.

[Apophis]

[Rank: A+]

A monstrous and terrifying gigantic snake the size of a mountain, it roams the Underworld and devours souls and Undead by opening its enormous gaping maws and engulfing everything into an endless abyss that is its stomach. It possess a deadly venom which can dissolve through most tissues and even ores, like an acid. It is protected with enormous, armored scales all over its phantasmal body, which gain metallic properties and grow stronger by digesting magic items and ores.

Its whole presence brings disaster and Chaos, and it has only been documented once in history when a powerful Necromancer that threatened the entire Continent of Alfheim summoned one to destroy the entire Kingdom of Heartfell and bite through the strong roots of the World’s Tree for nefarious purposes. It was only defeated after 1 year of efforts by all elves unified. Even now, it is feared by the Elves culture as an Evil God or a living disaster, despite its nature as an Undead-type Monster that roams freely in large quantities within the Underworld.

Whew, this one evolution option is indeed quite something! I had never expected this to become something available but I can see it is possible now because I choose Gorgon, right? She’s a snake and all of that. Now I got the chance to become a giant snake myself and… do giant snake stuff, I suppose. It does feels interesting to be honest, but if I am going to be a giant snake in my base form then… Huh, I don’t know, sounds kind of forced. Well, I will see the other evolutions before making any decision.

[Abyssal Titan]

[Rank: A]

Abyssal Titans are frightening monsters born from thousands of souls unified together in symbiosis to survive the harshness of the Underworld, over thousands of years, such fused legion of souls gathers darkness and shadows, turning into a gigantic mass of darkness in the shape of a human, with two glowing red eyes as its only visible face. It reaches over 50 meters of length and can walk over mountains, usually making the blazing pits of the Underground as its home, where it sleeps for thousands of years.

It is a frightening monster that has been documented in history a few times, usually born in abandoned battlefields were thousands of people had died in battle. It consumes ores and earth but can also devour anything alive to gain energy and power. It size alone makes it a threat of A Rank or above, but it has a passive nature where it usually doesn’t disturb others unless provoked, so sometimes, it is merely ignored and the area where it resides is abandoned.

Well now, this one seems interesting, I could become a giant made of darkness! Well, isn’t this kind of the same as Apophis in various ways? Just weaker and less interesting I guess, but the tidbits of lore in the descriptions are really worth it, I find them pretty interesting and it makes reading stuff I won’t evolve worth it anyways.

[Echidna]

[Rank: A+]

Rumored to be the [Mother of All Monsters] by ancient descriptions, Echidnas are monstrous half-snake and half-woman ghostly entities that are capable of multiplying incredibly fast, populating large quantities of land within the Underworld, where they mostly originate. They have the power to create eggs for monsters of various types, or even create weaker clones of themselves.

They can modify the eggs and create truly terrifying creatures. As long as it has enough Mana and food, it can create thousands of monsters in a few days, overpowering anything within their step. Echidna are also capable of commanding monsters and tame them easily, and often build colonies of monsters that can be up to thousands. Their powers are upgraded Gorgons, with stronger cursed eyes and also have the ability to transform into monstrous, chimeric snake-like titanic monsters for fighting. The more monsters they give birth to, the stronger they can grow, these Undead monsters are true calamity bringers…

Huh, this one is…
