Synopsis
When young Auriel tragically meets his end, he awakens to a bizarre reality on the distant planet of Warkinels. Reincarnated as a necromancer tree, he finds himself immersed in a world governed by a real-life game system, where every creature is relentlessly striving to level up and gain strength. Unfazed by his peculiar transformation, Auriel embraces his new identity and sets out on a singular quest: to ascend the ranks and become the most powerful being in the Warkinels. With each encounter, he absorbs the life force of fallen creatures, enhancing his own abilities and expanding his necromantic influence. As Auriel delves deeper into the intricacies of Warkinel’s game system, he discovers hidden mechanics and exploits that allow him to accelerate his progression. Along the way, he forms alliances with fellow adventurers and clashes with rival factions, all vying for dominance in the ever-shifting landscape of Warkinels. Driven by an insatiable thirst for power, Auriel navigates treacherous dungeons, battles formidable foes, and unearths ancient artifacts that augment his necromantic prowess. But with each victory comes greater challenges, as rival players and malevolent forces seek to thwart his ascent. As Auriel rises through the ranks of Warkinel’s hierarchy, he becomes a force to be reckoned with, feared and respected by all who dare to oppose him. Yet, amidst his quest for supremacy, he must grapple with the moral implications of his actions and confront the darkness that lurks within his own heart. Arboreal Ascendance is a riveting tale of ambition, sacrifice, and the pursuit of power, as one boy's journey from death to rebirth leads him on an epic quest to conquer the game of life itself.

Chapter 1 - New world

This day began with a very bizzare experience. I know I am a sleepy head who liked to lay on the bed and do nothing for hours even after waking up from my sleep.

The bizzare part in this, I was unable to recollect any of my memories from the night before. This has never happened to me ever before.

I always thought about the things I did in the previous day and planned out all of my activities for the day while laying on the bed.

But I was unable to recollect any of my memories from the previous day. I knew I went to a friend's place but after that there is nothing.

It felt like something was deliberately stopping me from accessing those memories from the previous day. Especially what happened after I returned from my friend's place.

My hands and legs felt weirdly heavy today. I might have had a few extra drinks at my friend's place and that must be what was fucking with my brain right now.

Having a cold shower would probably remove this fatigued feeling was what I was thinking at the time.

With all of my thoughts organized and a desire for having a cold shower I opened.

After opening my eyes, both of my pupils suddenly contracted as I was greeted by a dazzling blue light out of nowhere in the morning.

The assault from the dazzling light jolted me awake. Battling the tired feeling I somehow opened my eyes.

" Was my friend pranking me ?" This was the first thought I had as I was opening my eyes.

I get annoyed if someone disturbed my early morning and my friends knew that so it was unlikely to be a prank.

I tried to rub my face to clear up the foggy sight and see the thing that assaulted me this early in the morning.

" HOLY F*CK..!! I COULDN'T MOVE MY HANDS. "

Where the fuck have my hands gone?? I instantly sobered up from my sleep as well as from all the other thoughts and focused on the blue light.

I could vaguely see some writings admist the weird dazzling blue light. I tried to read what was written on it .

I was so shocked that I could not even utter a single word. I was utterly flabbergasted. Naming this feeling as a feeling of shock would weaken it.

What the fuck was the thing I was seeing ? Isn't the word status window the thing that describe the overall capacity of a playable character in the game.

" Haha William. You are really funny. I know I have been too much indulged in the games. I will stop playing them. Please open my arms. " I shouted still thinking I was being pranked by my friend William.

5 minutes passed by but there was no reply from William. My mind was rotating in the speed of light.

" Was I kidnapped ?? But why the fuck would a kidnapper show me that type of hologram." Every type of thought crossed my mind but I could not reach a perfect conclusion.

" WILLIAM I AM FREAKING THE FUCK OUT MAN. OPEN MY TIED ARMS OR I WOULD BEAT THE LIVING HELL OUT OF YOU. "

I shouted my lungs out but there was nothing but silence. This eerie silence will make me mad.

I started to breath using a military technique that helps one calm their mind when in a state of frenzy.

Soon I calmed down and started looking here and there for clues that could tell me where I was.

My idea of looking for clues were blocked by the blue holographic screen infornt of me. Reading this might unexpectedly give me some clue about the situation I was in.

I studied the whole status window from top to bottom and there were some things that I noticed.

The word necromancer tree intrigued me. I know what a necromancer meant but what is a necromancer tree. Does it mean I was no longer a human being now ???? What did it even mean ???

Just yesterday I having a big party at William's house with all of my friends now all of a sudden I am reading a hollographic screen infront of me like a madman.

And a suprising part of all of these was that I became a tree from all of the things that I could have been. And the status window was eerily similar to the RPG game I used to like so much.

What was even more outrageous in all this was the number behind mobility stat. Even a snail would have more mobility than 0.001. And even after multiplying it with a thousand would not raise it to a satisfactory number.

If one had played any games in their life they would know the importance of speed for a character in the game.

And if anybody had given proper attention to their Botany classed they could be know how vunerable a tree really is.

Anything could easily kill a tree. Any bit of stress, insects or change in the environment could easily result in death of a tree.

A tree at level 0 that cannot even move what would be the consequences of any adversary coming its way.

I had previously heard about reincarnation and transmigration from my friends but I used to laugh everytime any of my friends tried to talk about it.

They would always make the reincarnation story sound fancy. Somebody got hit by a truck and was reincarnated in the world of magic with a fucking awesome hidden talent.

And Me, a level 0 tree with 0.001 mobilty. Fuck I want to beat the shit out of someone so bad right now.

While returning from yesterday's party, something might have caused my death after which I transmigrated into the body of this tree. It was the most logical explanation right now even though it was hard to believe right now.

I could not recall any memories after I left the party so thinking about how I died yesterday would not give me any answers.

So I started thinking about the present and ways of keeping my tree self alive and healthy.

I looked at my status window and examine what abilites the various stats provided. Strength was a straight forward stat, Intelligence should be related to MP, vitality should be related to HP, sense ? What does it do ? And lastly mobility should be related to speed right.

Everything was still managable but mobilty bothered me too much. I tired to move my branches and could move a little bit.

But my legs were converted to roots which were attached and could not be moved at all. And I hope it would probably change as I increased my mobility stat.

I was still unsure how the stats worked or what effect the individual stat would have on me. If it was like in the games I used to play then I should be correct but it could differ.

Sorting everything out my main focus now would be to increase the mobility stat so that I could change migrate to a safer place to ensure my survivabilty.

If I was reincarnated into a tree and the status window represented my overall capability at the moment, I needed to strengthen my self as fast as possible.
