Chapter 1 - Attach the body to its soul

Deep in the forest, a small ball of light hovering in the air in front of an enormous tree, sometimes it will take minutes floating around it, sometimes moving through it without effect, inspecting it as if this tree is some mystery waiting to be solved.

The trees here in this forest are somehow special, the shortest of these trees are more than 100 meters long while the tallest ones are over 150 meters in length and 4 to 6 meters wide. Each tree has its own characteristics and colors that decorated the whole forest. The strange thing is that you won't find a single fruit in any tree inside this forest, not to mention a bird at some tree branches nor some tooth and claw marks at the foot of the tree, it is like the animals don't even see the trees on this forest.

But the tree that captured the attention of the small soul is like a mountain compared to the other trees, with a 210-meters height and 12 meters width, White leaves, and glowing aura around it. This is what any normal being can see but the small soul can see more, it can see the core of the tree, and what inside it made this tiny soul have many emotions, surprise, happiness, confusion and sadness.

The core of this tree contains a baby or more clearly a "Fetus", But this fetus together with the core is caged with some powers that restrict it to stay alive but not to grow mature. The same thing with the other trees around, but they don't have a fetus inside of them, maybe because they did not live too long to form it or maybe it is just that this Tree is special.

The small soul did not care about the power that is restricting the core nor did it care for the far away "being" that is absorbing the tree resources, but the idea that this is a "tree" and not some other creature or race confuses it and makes it helpless. That is why the tiny soul is here for many days thinking about what to do.

After pondering to who knows how long the tiny soul made its resolve and dived through the tree walls like a ghost, then to the core to merge itself with the fetus without alerting the one who is absorbing the tree resources.

The tiny soul starts merging with the fetus, eating its awareness, until it fully takes control of the body to feel the power that now goes inside it from other trees to move through it to one source. Right now, this tiny soul possesses a body that has the same Physique to its own with the power to Absorb.

A long time ago when the tiny soul gained its consciousness for the first time, it gained the ability to Absorb, and it can absorb any living being, to take the memories, abilities, physique, flesh. And all the characteristics of the victim.

but this all applicable only if the tiny soul has a body with the same ability, so the only thing it can do is roam the multiverse to search, Although most abilities are not available it can still read memories or stay in a body for a small amount of time but thanks to this it gained Knowledge, as well as emotions, at first, it was a simulation of the host, then it started to feel Joy, a joy to find a smart person and gain knowledge, then Fear, a fear if there's nobody with its power, this fear waken the Sadness and Anger to why the unqualify have this and that, it made it feel Envy how much they have wealth and lands and women, from this it gained Lust, for power and wealth and women that is when it knows it is a "he" not a "she" and named himself Amon. Until one day, he gained Ambition from that he starts learning about everything be it Science, medicine, magic or cultivation. For millions of years and from a world to a world and because his body is unaffected by the laws of the universe he can move freely.

Even the gravity inside the black hole did not affect him to pass to the infinite density and like that he found himself in this strange dimension and the first thing he saw is a world sealed with many unknown strong formations, Which in turn will not affect him for sure that is why he entered this world To be surprised that something is attracting him maybe calling him, it was his first time feeling this so he tracked the source of his longing to discover the big tree, after inspecting it he found a fetus that has the "Absorb" ability.

It was a joy for him but at the same time sadness, how can "he" start his new life like a tree? What about his ambitions? He dreamed about finding the most divine body for himself, not some old Tree, Even if he can evolve his body to a Drus (the male type of Dryads) but he will be connected to the core of the tree and maybe he can't stay away from it, because of these problems his spiritual "brain" stopped working, He was stuck if he should man up and take the risk or keep searching like always, he took many hours thinking of the best choice until he made his decision to take the body.

________________________________________

And now he is feeling the essence of many trees moving through his body he can tell what is going on. There are three spells inside and around him, the first spell can bound the trees and herbs to him so that he can absorb only their essence and not devore them and with a steady amount every day, the second spell restricts him from absorbing the essence that is coming to him from his "tree" or the others, it will just stay inside his body for a while then go to the "powerful being", the third spell is an illusion so that monsters will never approach this zone.

Therefore, to start constructing his own body, he lacks the essence and for that, he needs to edit the first spell a little to make it absorb a "little more" and than edit the second spell to allow him to absorb and so that he can take the "little more" essence for himself and pass the fixed amount to the "powerful being."

Every creature have magical power inside their body, but without consciousness, Intelligence, and sense this magical power will just stay in the core of this creature, and it will affect the world, negatively or positively, depending on the magical nature and properties of the creature, the same for trees and herbs, let us take the Lavender as an example, this herb works as an anxiolytic and as a sedative, to increase relaxation and calm, so its magical power will work as an amplifier and it will affect the zone around with this anxiolytic, the more old the herb the more wide the zone that will be under its effect. Trees are the same but unlike herbs, trees can gain consciousness, maybe it will take thousands of years or millions it is unknown but it wholly depends on tree type, location. And of course luck.

But the moment it gains consciousness and the moment it obtains its form the tree will change from "tree" to Dryad race, this dryad is spirit race born from trees and their physique has plant Manipulation ability and hold strong power over plants, particularly trees and wood. They can change a seed into a towering tree. And can call on the energy within the wood, even that of dead-wood, so their magic somehow has a connection with nature but they can pursue other types if they wish so. But that is not the case for the tree that Amon found, adding to the plant Manipulation abilities it has the "Absorb" physique too, it is a mystery why.
