I looked at all the things floating in my head and all I can say is...
Yeah, if you take as a person who has been swallowed by colonial ntality, then you're wrong, yes I read Japanese and Arican Literature but I don't fancy all of them and I mostly read romance and the Philippines loves Romance a lot, obviously making my country a horde of Romance authors, and this thing that happened to is like those Isekai genre kinds of stuff, my first Isekai is about that sli that beca a god and... Yeah, I don't like how all things always co his way.
I an, if not because of his ability but because of Wisdom Lord Raphael, then he's just a corporate worker who always went with the flow, if only he can beco soone like Shiro who have to struggle to beco a god, then I would approve to him, though I do approve to his gentle part, that also caused so things undesirable for him.
Anyway, enough with the hot takes and face reality. First, where the hell I am and what the hell are those skills? Oh, yeah that [Guide] thing earlier sounds like... a guide(duh), let's see, Hello [Guide].
[Hello, master.]
My newborn body shook and my inside voice went "GYAAA!!" for a second but cald down imdiately, damn, that was not too manly of , good thing I'm a girl now, HAHA!
I consoled myself as such and asked about my unique skill.
Care to explain where I am?
[Master, I will explain.
Master is currently thirty ters inside the Five-Pronged Forest ]
That's quite a la na, but then again, who am I to judge this world's naming sense? For now, the information that I am abandoned in this forest is already confird and I don't want a talking voice inside my head to smother with the fact that I am once again abandoned in my second life.
Digesting the information, I imdiately proceeded to the next one.
If this world works like an Isekai one, then there should be a staple for isekai novels right?
[Guide] Show my Status Board.
As I say that, a flash of blue appeared in front of my eyes though I am not sure if other people will see this if I flashed it elsewhere or if I am the only one who can see it.

I looked at my Status Board, confused, aren't newborns supposed to be powerless? Then how can I have fives on my stats? Normally, it should have been zero because, I an, think about it theoretically, in an MMORPG ga, what would you expect if you choose to have a.. let's say three-week-old baby human as an avatar?
Right, no stats right? That's why I'm confused and thus asked [Guide] about this question.
[Master, the God of Undead has taken an interest in you, choosing you as one of his potential Hero that can represent his will in the mortal world, upon receiving the na that was given by The God of Undead, he has modified the newborn's base stats so that master can have the upper hand.]
I imdiately flinched at his reply.
A god? Taking interest in ? An abandoned random child? Why?
[I am not allowed to disclose such information.]
Sigh...
I know that he will not answer because [Guide's] creator is the God of Undead and thus that god can make adjustnts to him so that he will not give information that will leak how his mind works, well, I an, normally, a god should be a billion folds more intelligent than a human right?
So yeah, I have expected as much, my pops should be intelligent at least. Yeah, pops, I would have called him my father if its the forr but I am "The Cooler Elio" now so I would call him pops from now on, I an I have a title calling his daughter and all so might as well take the part and call him my dad right?
Anyway, with the small thing with my cosmic dad concluded I started to ponder my skills.
And even though all of them are self-explanatory, you will not know what twists this world will make to these "self-explanatory" skills, for example, necromancy makes you think of summoning dead people but what if you can't summon them if you didn't raise them in the first place?
However, it seems like Necromancy has a more Mysterious background in this world than I thought.
[Necromancy: A new concept of power originated from the brilliant mind of the God of Undead: ???, It is a power to raise the dead and command them at the user's will, naturally generated undead will only follow the command of the wielder of the skill if the user is the Undead Monarch(King or Queen).]
I paused for a while, looking at the first verse of the explanation, I an, why are there undead if there are no necromancers? Does this an that the undead is just a bunch of corpses that got raised from dark magic or so crap and don't have a legion or sothing?
Aww, co on, that's boring and here I am thinking that I might command a legion of Undead... Damn, that would be fun, that was the reason why am I a Necromancer in an MMORPG ga I played before. Ah still, all of these mysteries will be quite difficult to decipher when even the system of this world is not giving adequate information, furthermore, if Necromancy is a new concept to this place then that ans that I am the first Necromancer (Even though I am yet to raise my first undead), then my task given to by pops... Or if he even gave one given that [Guide] just said that pops just found interesting.
Who knows maybe he has a kink on Abandonnt Play or sothing(Coz I am abandoned) but, if by any chance I am the center of his focus, then I am sure my role is to spread his na... Though Pops needs to give his na before I spread it.
That was just speculation that even with my ultra super ga amazing brain cannot co to a proper conclusion.
There is also the question of why is it a new concept in the first place... And I can't have any conclusion, I am confused because all of my references are from books from my past life and all of them have different logic and of course, I cannot rely heavily on them.
I an, by logic who wouldn't want an army of tireless soldiers right? So why did the people of this world didn't think of searching for a way to control those undead?
Geh... Confusing.
Confusion huh... What a strange feeling, this is the first ti in my life that I have felt confused and honestly, I don't know how to react, First, I died from disease and then got reincarnated and am now bombarded by tons of mysteries. Its... Bizzare, I may look like an idiot but yeah, I think that's the bad side of being a genius, you unconsciously think that you know it all, and when the ti cos that there is confusing shit in front of you, you cannot get past it.
Good thing I have a lot of ntal strength credited to my screwed-up past life and is not despairing because of this, hell if I don't know, I just have to know it, right?
Well, enough with the inspirational monologue and ti to inspect my other Oh so Unique skills.
Well, [Guide] is already functioning right now so I do not need him to be inspected so I just inspected the other one.
[Hastened Human Evolution]: Hastens the stages of human growth, from gradual growth, from a newborn to an infant will require a certain level cap to evolve rather than years to do so.
Level for next Evolution: 10
Oh wow, how shocking that information is...
I swiped the information tab out of my vision and proceeded to question [Guide] once again. I don't like Rimuru having such an explanation cheat of a skill in him but I guess I can't say no to such a convenient skill.
Sorry for not liking you, Rimuru-sama.
Ahem, anyway, [Guide], you say these skills are unique right?
[Master, yes they are.]
Then does that an I am the only one who has them?
[...]
[Master, That's what unique would an...]
HEY, WHAT'S WITH THAT MYSTERIOUS PAUSE!? I'M JUST ASKING A QUESTION!
The skill didn't answer making give up on giving him a stern scolding and directly asked.
Does that an that there are also common skills? And how can I have them? And how do they affect a person's performance?
This ti, without that strange silence earlier, the Unique Skill replied with his robotic and monotone voice.
[Master, yes, they are commonly called Common Skills, though so are rarer than the others because of the difficulty of acquisition that sotis needed years of patience, all of those skills are virtually possible to obtain by a mortal.
Obtaining a common skill requires the corresponding motion of the said skill, for example, if you, Master wants to learn to throw, you have to throw objects until a notification that you have acquired the said skill ca.
Having the skill [Throw] will make the system of the world help you be more accurate in your throw and also increase the damage of the said skill.
The Common Skills works as such.]
Hooh... I see, so that's how is it, so basically you just have to continue doing things until a notification pooped out, this is especially hard for humans, I an, humans are a civilized race and thus throwing things around to get skill about throwing is severely unethical to them and will surely just have so orthodox swords, spears, shields, bows and the other weapon skills... Now that I think about it, isn't that the true reason why are humans portrayed as weak in novels?
They might be too civilized and Orthodox to survive, that's why there are usually heroes of humanity to have humans at least have one of their race to break the monotony.
I imdiately took myself out of that trance and asked another question.
Then, does that ans that Stats also works that way?
[Master, yes, stats can be obtained by doing tasks manually related to the stats, for example lifting heavy objects will increase the STR stat, sa goes with INT, DEX, and more of the said stats, another way to increase stats is the stats that the system gives when leveling up.
This is way easier but rarer to co by for one to receive it only when he levels up.
The "training thod" of acquiring stats is only available for five levels of the initial form and will never be used again.]
Oh, I see, so it does, my deduction is correct and I am out of questions... At least imdiate ones, I already knew where am I and also confird long ago that I am once again abandoned, what I needed to do right now is to... Do what I can do, I am still a child, a newborn baby... Though I have quite the headstart and can probably able to walk if I just put my mind to it.
So what I am gonna do right now is to evolve, damn, I didn't even drink once in my past life because I am just ten before I died and I want to drink beer or ale even once in my life so I wanna be an adult fast.
But then there is a problem, a problem that I didn't realize because the ridiculousness of the situation made it slip out of my mind.
... Newborn babies... Have blurred eyes and it seems to also be a fact, even in another world.
