“What do you mean?” I wondered. As Lucifer congratulated me about my possibility to evolve now, he quickly began to talk about something interesting.
“Where we are all living is the Land of the Living, there are Undead here naturally as Death is everywhere, but there is a place called Land of the Dead, it is the place where Hel and other gods similar to her resides, often times it is referred as the Underworld or Helheim.” Said Lucifer. “People fear this place and do not desire to go there, as it is a gloomy world where monsters and undead roam everywhere… In this place, there is probably Undead that even surpass A Rank…”
“Wow… So that’s a lot of EXP!” I said.
“Wait, no, you’re not supposed to think of that place as a land of EXP-“
“Maybe we could go there one day, after all I am an Undead so I doubt it might affect me!” I said.
“Wait a second!” Said Lucifer. “Don’t get weird ideas now, I was just saying that Undead of high ranks like you roaming in the land of the living are incredibly rare. Undead usually never reach such a high rank to begin with, it is very surprising.”
“Hmmm… You’re right in that regard, it is pretty crazy.” I said while nodding in agreement to his statement. “Nonetheless, I will try to evolve right away…”
“Wait, wouldn’t it be weird to get back there with your appearance completely changed though?” Asked Emeraldine rather concerned. “If you end up changing too much, it might get hard to explain it…”
“Hmm… But I got the ability to shapeshift my body, it should be alright, don’t sweat over the details too much…” I said rather carefreely, as I looked into my Status to see how I’ve progressed.

My progression has been rather smooth, I seem to have increased MP and Magic a lot as usual, making me even more of a magician and also a magic tank, coupled with elemental resistance skill at a high level, I can tank a lot of elemental magic, even my greatest weakness, light and life magic might be tanked without problems. I feel confident in that I can take a ray of light right in the face by now… But it’s not like I am capable of taking many though. Perhaps I could ask Emeraldine to bathe me with light and life magic until I learn the Resistance Skills for the elements, but I am afraid of the agony.
Nonetheless, now even my Attack and Defense have increased rather nicely, at 10k! Well, at my current Rank 10k of such stats is garbage, Lucifer has even more than me in those stats but… Yeah, I am a ghost, it’s not like I pack some muscles or have good physical defense when anything physical just get through my phantasmal body to begin with… My HP is not the prettiest Stat either, but at least it has a better number. And well, then there’s MP, Magic, and Agility, my greatest Stat, I am pretty much min-maxing those stats since I was reborn as a ghost, and so does every single evolution I pick.
Picking something defense oriented at this point seems pretty bad, so I should definitely pick an evolution that can simply continue boosting what I am good at doing, moving fast, and unleashing bombastic magic that destroy everything. I am very frail, but if I don’t let my enemies get closer to me, then there’s no problem! Just as they say, the best defense is offense, and for me, it applies all the time because my defense is paper thin compared to those at my rank or even below it! That saying is pretty much my un-life philosophy…
Anyways, it should be about time to check what sort of wacky evolutions I get to choose now, I’ve been wondering what I can get… My previous two evolution had rather… famous names (Pandora and Gorgon), perhaps I should go for something more lowkey now… let’s see.
