14-The result of the training

  So, in the end, I was rewarded, punished and left without even a roof on top on my head, I don't know if I must cry or laugh... let's find out.

  "Show status, skills and magic proficiencies"

  Well, even if it's me who says it, I'm pretty impressive; just by randomly killing some undead I actually reached level 37, not only that, I also gained quite the boost in magic proficiencies.

  Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

  What's more, I also discovered why I wandered for twelve years in the 8th layer and how to reach the next layer without being roasted: it seems that ghouls should spawn in this layer and we're the bottom of the food chain; probably because of this, they are not friendly even if we are of the same race.

  Another thing that i found out is that I don't need to eat, and when out of curiosity I tried to use the skill Glutton, it didn't work, the reason being that undeads, even when just killed, aren't exactly , the expiration date already passed a long, looooong time ago; and let me say this: even if it worked, I wouldn't use it anyway, in novels the peoples reincarnated as monsters change the way they taste things, the problem is... someone forgot to give me that patch.

  That or the skill Endless memory reminds me of what normal food taste, so even with a human cuisine is thousands of times better... you don't realize how bad monsters have it until you become one of them, after that experience I understand why undead eat everything living, for us they must be delicious.

  Well, enough about how human must taste, the only way I found in order to go to the 8th and probably even the next layers is to continuously train my light resistance, every layer the effect of the light magic probably rise by around 10%, and if your resistance is too low... you start to burn, and every time you die, the light resistance is reset, so I'll need to avoid being killed from now, or the possibility of passing another one hundred years wandering may not be too far fetched.

  I also found by messing with my stats that is definitely better to keep the stamina, strength, agility and wisdom stat even, or at least they must be not too far behind between each other; if you don't do this, the penality vary from bones too brittle to support the muscles to various kind of malformations of the body.

  Wisdom is needed in order to understand what you're doing at high speed; try to run at 40 Km/h while your mind can at most keep up with half that speed... fortunately I tried it in the plains, or I would've become a stain in one of the tombstones.

  The final thing that I found out is that lesser ghouls can't use magic, while I have a big mana pool; the only reason tha I could think of is that my soul must have had some kind of effect in order to give me an abnormal mana pool; when I thought about it, I understood that my mana pool is not the only abnormal thing in my status, but also the speed at which I learn new skill is too much (because in this world everything seems to go by the law of cause and effect).

  I'm not saying that I'm not smart enough (even though I noted that by raising intelligence and wisdom the comprehension stat rise), but even in my previous life I needed more than simply hours or days to learn new jobs (mainly because my sister wanted everything done by me, from cooking to sewing).

  The last strange thing is my luck; because I gave all of my karma to Elise, it should have sent me in negative (which is shown in fame, if I'm not wrong it doesn't matter if you're famous or not, it changes how the other peoples look at you, it raises if you do good deeds, it goes down if you do evil things and remains the same if what you're doing doesn't matter to anyone), so I who have -100 fame should have negative luck (karma always gets back at you), but that's not the case, my soul seems to interfere with that.

  Now that this is confirmed, let's try to understand how the skill House summon works; I made a simple hut using the stone from a nearby tombstone, then I engraved the characters for on it.

  "yes" I said in my mind, after that I needed to pour enough magic in the skill in order to make my hut reappear... let's first try with one hundred mana.

  Mmm... "show house management window"

  When I read that I have a 100:1 replica of my... of the King of Hell castle I wished to see it, and just like that I entered another dimension.

  And with this I gained a cheat ability, quite generous for a God of the Underworld... ah, I forgot, the castle size is the same as when I made it, so the King of Hell must have enlarged it quite a few times; befitting for a God size and power I'd say
