I Reincarnated As A Stick

Ding!

'1 OS Point has been obtained.'

"Eh?" Aurus couldn't believe what he was looking at. He closed his nonexistent eyes and rubbed it with his nonexistent fingers, thinking that it was a dream. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes once more, only to see the notification screen still in front of him.

Thinking that he was still hallucinating, he pinched his nonexistent skin which caused him some mild pain, yet didn't let the notification screen go away.

Seeing that it wouldn't go away, Aurus couldn't help but sigh. Not long after, he bursted out in joy.

"WOOHOO! ANOTHER OS POINT!"

Although he took evolving into a higher existence level as his main priority, he still wanted to obtain another OS Point since for some reason it locked his memories and even delayed his skills from leveling up at the right time. At the moment, he wasn't even sure if his skills were at the correct level.

"Anyways, now that I know that evolving to a higher existence level gives me an OS point, I can now rest easy," Aurus couldn't help but feel unimaginable joy while in the hell named Tempest Cliff.

"But wait a minute..." All of a sudden, a thought flashed in Aurus' mind since it seemed peculiar.

"System, why wasn't I given an OS point when I evolved to a B-grade Inanimate?"

Ding!

Of course, excluding skill level ups, the system would answer at the shortest instant possible.

'The user has not met the requirements to modify the system's OS.'

"Eh? What do you mean by that?" Aurus was confused. "Am I lacking in level or something?"

Ding!

'The user has not met the minimum requirement for opening the OS back then, which was the Synchronization Rate. Though this system is based in the user's soul, the system can only undergo modification once the soul has a connection to the body.'

"Hmm..." Aurus pondered for a bit before shaking his head. "Though it sounds like some nonsense to me, I guess there's a profound meaning to it."

"Bah, who the hell cares? I got my OS Point! Open OS!"

Ding!

________

The Existence Evolution OS screen looked like it was untouched when compared to before, but compared to before, Aurus now had 2 points to spend rather than 1. Now with Aurus knowing where the OS points came from, he could now rest easy with the points being scarce...well it was still scarce but he knew how to get them at least.

Ever since he found out about the EEOS, the first thing he wanted to upgrade out of all the choices was the [Level Up Synchronization] option. He didn't want to fight at full power against his enemy before ultimately knowing his power was actually sealed.

So he did.

"Upgrade [Level Up Synchronization]."

Ding!

Unlike skills and evolutions which had a confirmation screen before fully confirming an option, the OS section of the system only gave you the time before choosing the option as the confirmation.

'[Level Up Synchronization] has been upgraded to Level 1/10.'

'Delayed level ups have been removed.'

Aurus couldn't help but smile at the words that came from the system. Now, he could rest assured that he would be fighting at full power everytime.

"Now that's done, I only have one point left to use." After that was done, Aurus went back to the OS section of the system and looked at the options.

[Memory DLC]. Though it didn't sound like much and it didn't affect Aurus' current progress, it had intense importance to his progress in the future. He also noticed that at times when he tried remember something, although his memories feel like all have been retained, he always feels a haze obstructing his view from that memory.

Aurus looked around his surroundings for a bit and checked for any sign of enemies, to which there was none even as of now. Seeing that there were still no enemies in his surroundings, Aurus then commanded to the system after giving enough thought.

"Upgrade [Memory DLC]."

Since he was still an A-grade Inanimate, there was still room for improvement. He might have missed something along his way to the Tempest Cliff that would allow him to obtain skills unobtainable by sticks at his current stage. Nonetheless, it would be a beneficial change for him.

Ding!

'[Memory DLC] has been upgraded to Level 1/3.'

'Part of the user's memories have been unsealed.'

...

Within the vast universe, Kurohana's space.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

A melodious chime could be heard ringing from the orb Kurohana was staring at.

Kurohana's eyes widened as she looked at the thing that happened to the stick through the orb.

"Eh? A wood spirit?" Kurohana couldn't help but frown at the thought. She needed a piece of wood infused with a strong soul as the main ingredient for her Transcedent Deity weapon. But to think that this Aurus chose a path that didn't suit her needs made her somewhat irritated. But then, she looked further into Aurus' current form and then mumbled as a professional craftsman, "Ah, that's not the case. He hasn't turned into a wood spirit, he's still a piece of wood, although it can change forms."

"Hehe, if I used that as my catalyst, I wonder what properties it could show?" Letting her mind run wild, Kurohana smiled at the thought.

All of a sudden...

Ding! Ding! Ding!

A melodious chime rang once more, forcing Kurohana to snap back to reality and look at the orb in front of her.

"Heh...he has finally upgraded that option huh. I guess this will hasten the process of turning him into Archaic Soul Wood."

"Since I tampered with his memories anyway."

"Teehee~"

...

A nuclear explosion, that was what Aurus felt when part of his memories were unlocked. In an instant, like the neurons in a brain connecting with one another as they send electrical impulses at lightning speed, the unsealed memories within Aurus' soul quickly connected with the memories he previously had before upgrading.

Special grinding spots, places where he could get special skills, bosses which garnered some special items, all of that were unlocked within Aurus' mind.

Though at some point, it abruptly stopped since he had only unlocked one part of the [Memory DLC] option. Nonetheless, the amount of unsealed memories that Aurus obtained were enough for him to improve at breakneck speeds in his current stage.

For all of them....were memories of his early-game stages.
