"First you must pick your new race that align with the undead category."
Spoke Shalvaveesha who was telling Author the general first procedure he must take in order for his rebirth to be successful.
"I see, so what are my option."
"Well Author-Sama since all heroes are right hands to their respected Gods or Goddess who rule over a respected race in one of the remaining twenty realms, then you're going to be reborn into an undead for sure, since I am the Goddess that the Undead serve and worship."
"Ok, so can you give me a brief synopsis of what the undead race is, because honestly I don't want to eat brains, much less have to pick my own gut and intestine off the floor every minute."
"Why do everyone think undead survive by eating brains, yes some relies on blood and maybe life force through rather intimate mean, but apart from that undead are races who are dead in some shape or form, their appearance varies from variant, because their many undead monsters in the undead realm."
"I don't know you tell me."
"Sigh whatever, look normally I wouldn't allow this, but since I have to power you up to the best of my capabilities, I'm going to give you five options to choose from, and these options are extinct race of undead that doesn't exist in the world anymore due to various reasons, just tell me when you're ready."
"I'm ready."
"Ok sure, so open your hand."
"For what reason?"
"I'm going to give you a scroll with the three choices you have to pick from, you can take your time as well, since the summoning won't take place till after you leave my personal realm."
"Summoning, what that about?"
"I will explain that later so open up your hand."
Upon Shalvaveesha orders, I open up my hand and suddenly a bright light blind me, and that when I saw the object in my hand, I had an old scroll in my hand, I wasted no time as I instantly unsheathed it from the old looking capsule it was in, but there was one problem I couldn't read it at all, since the language was unknown to me.
Everything was writing in a weird language, that look like it was all over the place, but at the same time it looks like a sculptured portrait of various glyphs put together.
And just when I was busting my brains, to make out, what the hell I was seeing, I heard the voice of Shalvaveesha, as she said.
"My bad, let me help you out a little."
After she said those words, the words on the scrolls turn to that of English, automatically I could understand the thing that were on it.
As the scroll itself was titled as such.
『Three Ancient Races』
I wasted no time I took a seat on the sea of black roses, and began reading with interest.
. The Legions: These species of undead where like a Chimera of other races that died, they were generally known for their insane reproductive skills, they have an insane healing factor along with insane physical strength, they had abilities to plunder other abilities upon eating anything that was dead and adding them their colony, but please note that their weakness to a holy artifact was so immense that even the broken and lesser ones could do an insane amount of damage to them.
. Scarlet Ghoul: These Ghoul had insane hyper speed regeneration, insane speed that could easily travel at the Mach- levels, and also insane physical strength that could destroy a giant boulder with relative ease, along with limitless potential to grow with the more people they kill, as their power relies heavily on something called blood essence, they also specialize in curses in their blood and they also have blood manipulation, their only weakness was the sun-light and holy light as sunlight split their individual power by 80% and holy light weaken their regeneration by 90%.
. Wicked ones: These undead are also known as the highest grade of evil spirit, they are born when a righteous soul falls from grace and died an unjust death, hence fort the reason they are so hard to be born in the first place, they don't possess a physical body since they exist spiritually, they are also perfectly immune to any and all holy attacks, and they possess immense telekinesis capabilities that can move large building with ease even meteors could be pull from space with relative ease, although their weakness are destroying the thing that they chose as beacon, which is an item that makes their existence in this world possible, after it is destroy they will cease to exist.
After Author finish reading each and every one the races, he was in a dilemma, reason be each of them had amazing powers, and also weaknesses, sadly speaking, Legion can fuse undead monsters to it colony and making itself grow in power relatively quickly, but in return they basically become prone to be one shotted.
Then comes the scarlet ghoul, it had everything he could asked for, insane regeneration capabilities, insane physical strength, and insane speed that could far surpass what a human was capable of, the only downfall is, that sun light weaken them severely, and whatever this holy light was, it can be considered poison to them, but the greatest plus was the limitless potential they had.
And finally came the Wicked ones, they were nigh invisible in a way by marking an item that hold the very fabric of their existence they could hide the item anywhere they want, even places that were unreachable and live for as long as they want or until the item deteriorate in time, their resistance to holy attributes were also insane, plus their insane control over telekinesis was also a plus, it was so strong they can throw houses, large building and even meteorites around like how a human throws a ball to play some kind of sports, the only downside is they lack physical form and if the item that they marked is destroyed so are they.
Author began to think carefully, if he picks the legion his power can increase at drastic rate, but he will be too prone to the holy source, if he picks the scarlet ghoul, then injuries and life threatening wounds would be a thing of the pass, as long as he doesn't get exposed to sun-light, much less holy light, and if he picks wicked ones, his life is reassured but he won't be able to interact with people at a physical level, if his chosen item is destroyed, he will definitely die no question ask.
But after spending an entire hour deciding on what he wanted his new race to be, he finally came to a decision, as Author spoke.
"Shalvaveesha I finally made up my mind."
"Ohhh... that was quick, so tell me what will it be."
"I want to be a scarlet ghoul."
"Ok, may I ask why you chose the Scarlet Ghoul?"
"The race itself just sounds like a better package deal to me, although sunlight is the biggest problem along with holy light, I'm sure I could counter that weakness by wearing a full suite of armor most of the time, that and the fact hyper speed regeneration sounds too good to give up."
"Agh... a good choice, I was going to suggest the same thing as well since holy light is basically a special type of light weapon that are made using angel feathers, and it's a very rare material hence fort it's hard to come by as only high priestess, saints, paladin or arch deacon possess them, while your cursed blood is poisonous to any living race due to the fact it can be anyone of ten racial curses."
When Author heard this, he was genuinely curious, to know what these curses are, so of course he asks what they were as he said.
"And what are these curses?"
"Half of them are de-buffs, slow down slows an enemy down by 30%, strength down severs about 35% of the enemy physical strength, blindness slowly blinds the enemy, bleeding ignores regeneration and make the enemies bleed to death, defense down weaken durability by 50%."
"I see are they random."
"Yes, they are random."
"How about the other five what do they do."
"The other five are unique as it only takes place once every one hundred thousand slashes, Cell deconstruction deconstruct living cells, absolute paralysis paralyzes an enemy for eight hours straight immunity does not matter, true death, kill a person instantly without a chance of reincarnation, rapid time ages a person by ten thousand years, and merciless practically fuse all curses you possess on the target."
Upon hearing that Author was glad he chose the scarlet ghoul as his new race, it was too fricking coinvent to pass up.
So, with that said, Shalvaveesha then told Author.
"Well scarlet ghoul it is."
After she said that he felt and heard a rumbling noise beneath him, and that when he notices that thousands of black roses beneath him start to travel up his leg.
And creating an egg made of nothing but black roses, and the last thing he heard before losing consciousness was.
"You will be out of commission for exactly one week, so take it easy, and relax because when you wake up, we will meet face to face, apart from that please have sweet dreams."
And right after that Author was unconscious to commence his rebirth.
