Sorry if I'm suddenly asking a question like this, but have you ever thought about how reincarnation feels? If I had to describe the feeling, it would probably be like an egg being cracked and then reconstituted.
Honestly thinking about how this sudden nausea makes me feel uncomfortable and want to throw up at any time. Seriously this is even too much for me who is used to seeing many corpses on the battlefield.
It's been about 3 hours since Miss A.i helped me to get out from inside the tree trunk where I first woke up. To be honest when I first got out of there a sense of excitement and happiness came over me.
After all, another world filled with fantasy creatures is something that modern society can't even see in person. No matter how much money they have, they will not be able to enjoy this luxury.
Just like how my biggest fantasies and desires since childhood came true, I started exploring this forest like a madman at first.
Plus, the war that happened about 4 months ago made all cultural sectors in the previous world stop working. Creating mental pressure for us cultured people, maybe this is an outlet for the stress I received from the previous world.
Believe me, it was more or less comparable to the mental stress I got during the war.
But now, it seemed that the happiness inside me had somehow disappeared like dust on a window pane. Staring at how all the bloody scenes that were far more brutal than the pile of body parts in my previous life made me shudder slightly.
How could it be, just look at all the pieces of flesh and pools of blood on the ground, I can 100% guarantee that this forest is much more dangerous than what I imagined in the first place.
Looking at the impact of the battle that was left afterwards, it honestly gave me a little chill. Thinking of what kind of creature could create this much damage.
Even the bombs often used by soldiers from the western bloc wouldn't leave a crater of this size. But just look at how the living creatures that fought earlier created an attack power that was far more destructive than the bomb itself.
[Answer: judging from the impact of the attack, it is most likely that the creatures that fought earlier were the silver wolf and the five-tailed fox]
Eh? Miss A.I do you know what's going on here? Well it seems that I still underestimated Miss A.I's ability to work.
But the five-tailed fox huh? well if the five-tailed fox exists in this world maybe creatures like the nine-tailed fox also exist. Then does it mean that in this world there are spirit creatures like Kurama from Naruto anime? I wonder what his true form looks like.
But before that.
'Miss A.I! Can you give me all the information you know about this forest?'
[Answer: Yes]
'Miss A.I. you're the best! If so can you tell me what kind of forest this really is, and how dangerous it is for me to live in, also tell me what percentage chance of survival I have in this forest'
Firstly I have to gather all the information I know, after all with enough information I can prevent the worst possibilities in the future.
It's like the saying "provide an umbrella before it rains" where I have to really prepare for all the worst possibilities that will happen in the future. After all, this is a normal thing that will be done by all humans who experience situations similar to mine.
And as for the chances of survival....let's just say it was purely out of curiosity. After all, Miss A.I. has already told me some of the strong skills that I have, such as (kanca pati) and others.
[Processing information]
[Requesting permission from the world voice to access forest information ••••]
[Permission granted! Starts providing general information to users]
[Answer: Your current location is referred to as the spirit forest or better known as the birthplace by most of the existing spirits located in the Elemental Realm. Where usually in one day this forest can give birth to many protective spirits that will guard the planet in the future]
[But due to the limited amount of energy the planet's energy can produce, the world decided to make this forest a selection ground for the spirits who are worthy of becoming protectors in other words, this forest is a battlefield]
[Here every newborn spirit will emerge and survive by all means at their disposal to truly prove to the world that they are worthy of being one of its guardians]
[As the birthplace of all the spirits in the world, many powerful spirits often roam the forest just to collect the purest energy that comes from the infant spirits as a means of assistance for many old spirits to evolve]
[Also if I measure the standard line of strength in this forest, then your chances of survival are only about 2.45%. That is if your luck is not bad during the early days of your journey]
[Note: You are currently in the most primitive form of the spirit world]
WAIT!!! WHAT DO YOU SAY!!! Doesn't that mean I'll die just by walking in the middle of the forest one day. Then isn't this forest very dangerous for an innocent Spirit like me?
Then why don't we just go back inside the tree trunk before? I don't think I want to die anymore since I've just gained a new life.
[Master, you don't need to be discouraged, after all with the innate racial traits you have as a (Spirit), you will be able to grow stronger just by waiting for time to pass, without needing to do anything and your strength will increase slowly in the future]
Really? Then how long would it take me to become the strongest in this world without even trying?
[Answer: Calculating your current level of strength, it would take at least 5,000 years or so to achieve that, but unfortunately that long would not make you the strongest either]
"...."
I don't know why for the first time in my life I hate people who tell the truth.
Letting out a sigh, I stared at the monster corpse in front of me that had become a pile of flesh.
'So tell me, how do spirits usually evolve? Miss A.I. You said that it takes pure/magical spirit energy to evolve but you didn't explain how a low-ranked spirit like me can start.
[Answer: Sir, as a spirit in a very primitive form you can only rely on nature's energy to evolve which will take much longer than how higher ranking spirits begin their evolutionary path.]
[But as a spirit born with a much stronger soul (reincarnation) than other ordinary spirits, you may be able to absorb spiritual energy from the corpses of spirit beings like the one in front of you, sir]
[Also I advise you to look for places that are filled with natural energy to speed up your evolution, but I advise to be careful at all times as usually places with a high density of natural energy are already occupied by other high ranking spirits]
'so do I have to gather natural energy through cultivation as cultivators from Chinese cultivation novels often do?'
Well it seems that the spirits in this case were specially born as natural cultivators, after all if what Miss A.I said is true then just by breathing we spirits can attract natural energy naturally.
Seriously, the cultivators in those Chinese novels would probably cry if they knew this.
'Then Miss A.I, you haven't explained the spirit rank properly before, after all you only said explicitly that I'm a primitive spirit'
[Answer: Each spirit power rank represents how much power and how close their control is to the realm. In general, the spirit rank/Elemental is divided into 4 evolutionary paths. Firstly Lesser Elemental, Medium Elemental, Greater Elemental and lastly the Elemental Lord]
[Lesser Elemental: Are the lowest ranked elementals in the hierarchy, usually they only have knowledge and feelings but no personality which makes them disabled, and a much shorter lifespan than other higher ranked spirits]
[Medium Elemental: is the Evolution of the lower spirits, with life experience and long lifespans they have further expanded their powers, unlike lesser elementals who cannot speak this Evolutionary Path can have occasional conversations]
[Greater Elemental: A high level spirit that has reached maturity that can even fight equally against Arch demons, this elemental has a strong personality and is one of the human's cards against daemons]
[Elemental Lord: The highest evolutionary path that can be achieved by normal spirits, as the final path of normal evolution this spirit has a threat level equivalent to the demon king and it is not uncommon for them to be able to take down the demon king]
[As for further evolutionary paths such as Elves, I have no further access to them]
Hearing how Miss A.I gave a brief explanation about the spirit level, I was silent for a moment.
Thinking that there are a lot of powerful people in this world, which might be a disaster for the people from my previous world. So in order to continue surviving in this world I will become even stronger.
"Miss A.I.! Tell me how to absorb the natural/magical energy from the corpse of the spirit creature in front of me?"
[Answer: Your master can use the Skill (kanca pati) to extract the magical energy from this corpse]
"So" with a short nod I walked towards the pieces of the spirit creature's corpse quickly.
Standing in the middle of it, I activated (Kanca Pati)
"Activate (Kanca Pati)"
