Sophia Demiurge

In my entire life, I have never forgotten something I purposely want to remember, hell I can't forget something I want to forget, wants more things I want to stick in my mind right? I know that this information is not something important to me, it is just a question on a sudden whim and my plans for myself and my undead will not be affected by that information I want to know.

I tried to remember it going back from that moment I am brooding in that black space and said that I am tracking time-based on the twenty-four hours time format of the previous world, I even remembered what I said, here: 

"I am here in this... Whatever the hell this place for as long as I can remember, and if I can remember means I know that I am here for three million, eight hundred seventy-seven thousand and three hundred years already."

Right? Check it out if you are not impressed. 

I perfectly remembered anything I want to recall from my memories but the thing I want to ask... my memories just went to a screeching halt someone (you already know who, if you don't, read from the first chapter again) is blocking me from this information, maybe I'm too smart of a mortal that my whimsical questions can lead into a god putting his fingers personally into the matter.

I already gave up on remembering the matter, if a god doesn't want me to remember something, what can I do? No matter how I am confident of myself, I still cannot go against the will of a fuckin' god right? So with just little hope, I asked [Guide].

[Guide], please tell me what I want to ask you a while earlier!

[I am not allowed to disclose such information.]

Yeah, I figured out that much.

Damn, this god's game just got serious.

At first, I thought that I am just being played with and just went along with it because that's the most logical approach in my situation right now, I am just a baby and I can't fight gods. If you think about it, all mythological gods are fickle, will find interest in someone, and will become angry with someone with a touch.

There's even a goddess that cursed a woman to become a spider because the woman is more beautiful than her, but this matter is different, the god that is watching me right now is tempering me into his heroine, not because of interest but because of something... I don't have any idea what.

How did I come to that conclusion? Simple, these past weeks (a month to be exact), pops been rejecting any information about this forest and this world that are either too advantageous for me or it is too vital to be known for someone as insignificant as me, but there comes the third, considering the immediate reaction to a whim of a mere mortal, pieces of information that I am not yet ready to know will also be blocked.

Eh? It can be just the god watching me scramble about remembering something he makes me forget. No! If then, wouldn't it be more interesting to see how I dip my head into the information instead of watching me panicking about memory loss, wouldn't it be more interesting to see me, for example in despair and hopelessness-filled eyes by learning the information I want to know?

It would, right? But no, and thus I concluded that this world might be a world more than just a world with a system that gives you a throwing skill when you throw something, but is a world more complicated than what I seem to understand.

Then, I just have to understand it, no biggy, right? And I am still in my baby steps literally and so I can't do anything even if this world is made out of cake and pastry, so I just have to trust pops who have a greater vision than me, I, after all, have a Filipino Heritage and one of its youngest talent, and one of our traits is familial piety (that's also the reason I am so devastated about my past) and one such variable of familial piety is trust... in this case, a blind one.

So yeah, what can I say? May it be done unto me according to your word... no, but I will trust you on this, god of the undead.

I hope you give me something interesting, your beloved daughter is dying of boredom here. I am already traveling here for more than a week and still nothing... Sigh 

Anyway, I trailed out of that thought for now, for I can't do anything about a semi-omniscient individual's process of thinking, so what I did is to learn the magic I want to learn for so long in this world, who would have thought that a forest themed isekai will have its protagonist learn magic without even reaching thirty or forty plus chapters, right?

That's usually the standard, but I'm breaking off tropes here (though I have the "protagonist who has shit for luck" trope) and so I turned to my Goblin subordinate and ask him to teach me how to learn magic, which he does. First, he conjured mana and then circulated it in her palm and injected an attribute, and boom fire magic. That's how I understand it, it's really simple, just like how I used gasoline as an analogy, it is exactly like that.

You put mana(gasoline) and concentrate on it, and then pick an attribute... And...!

Duh-duh! (Sound effects)

Notice [Continuous training has granted you the following Magic Skill: Ember Magic]

Continuous? But I didn't do anything... anyway, it seems like I learned the lowest tire of the fire elemental magic, the ember magic huh? Well, that would be logical, would be weird if it went "Amaterasu Magic" if I am not even two months old, so yeah, anyway, there is this other thing after that quick shot magic learning session that didn't even last five minutes, when fighting, Siri, the system is muffling all notifications that can hinder and obstruct the fighter's minds, and before I knew it, my stats are already like this and even though I am aware of the benefits of being a leader type individual(those leading armies or a bunch of subordinates), I am still surprised by how my stats leveled up.

Right? First of all, my stats lean on the caster type so that one is understandable, I still don't have any luck which I can't understand, but anything more than that, except for the fact that killing three low-level goblins will give me a whooping three-level, everything is fairly understandable, I am thinking of that as suddenly, an idea popped out of my mind, an idea that maybe I am the only one who can think of and fulfill, but first of all, before that idea, I have one problem.

I have this one plan that I want to implement early this game, my subordinates are increasing and I don't want to just make it so that a whole ass army of assorted undead monsters that I killed and made into my underling will follow me until I reached the middle layer, that's illogical and might face a backlash like not knowing a "boss class" monster is already attacking my rear but I am still casually picking berries.

So I want to find suitable caves that will be the storehouse and resource point of my future army, eh? Too advanced? No no, it is better to be advanced than to be late, who knows what might happen in the future that might need these points right? But there comes a problem, how the hell do I find this point?

First, yeah I have a ranger which is Lyra, however, archers are not the resonance type of units that can properly inspect the insides of a cave, they can just look for the exact location of the caves but not inspect the geography, monster count estimation, resources availability and the danger level of the cave, and I am in a strange world so who knows what a normal, unassuming cave might have in surprise right?

And so, I need an assassin, an assassin or a shinobi can do infiltration and scouting work of course, but I don't have one so I am facing a dilemma, I want to prepare for this because my instincts tell me that I will badly need this resource points soon

But then, how can I find an assassin-type monster and turn it into an undead? Remember, the undead is feared in this forest for some darn reason and I will probably fail to search for a monster that is fast enough to be my shinobi because they will run by the sight of my undead.

But then, I am not also strong enough to find the said monster myself, I might just fucking die without my subordinates you know? There is also this worry that a monster is strong enough to disregard the fear of the forest of the undead and directly attack us, which is undesirable.

Hmm... What should I do... I glance around my party, thinking of possible remedies to this dilemma, rabbits are fast creatures but they are not observant, hell they even put their heads in the air without caution to projectiles hitting their skulls, so ekis(no), archer Lyra is also out as I stated why earlier and of course the three newbies are also ou- or maybe not?

I suddenly have a lightbulb idea and I immediately asked [Guide].

[Guide], is there a way to combine undead?

[Master, yes, there is, undeads are reanimated corpse, thus mingling their bodies is nothing but a simple feat to achieve.]

I nodded in expectation and excitement. I thought of that concept because, like [Guide] said, undead are moving corpses, so being able to put an arm of undead into the back of another is not that hard, right? That's how necromancers are, right?

And so, I continued asking.

[Guide], how can I achieve this "chimera making"?

[Master, you have to first name the creatures minimum of three that you choose to be the morphed ones the same name and choose yes in the morphing confirmation notification that the system of the world will give.]

Oh, I see... Fairly easy, thank you [Guide].

And so, I immediately went and hurled name after name jumbling in my head, a dilemma that I will never hate, and choose "Kabuto"(Helmet) in Japanese, well shinobis are one of the most famous forms of scouts after all, so might as well, right?

Anyway, the notification about the mana that because I already leveled up didn't get drained, it was repurposed as stats, all the usual and a new notification appeared.

Notice[Three undead have the same name, Chimera creation option available, please confirm]

[Yes/No]

I choose yes as they hugged each other out of a sudden and a light so bright that Rihanna will know that diamonds refract and don't shine emerged from the three Kabuto.

I looked at them with the evilest grin my cute little self can make.
