what's your name boy

Ugh. Kill yourself. Again.

>>333617
You poor guy. Well, if you have full access and you're a mage, then let's go to the library!

>>333617
Ok, where you are? Southern peninsula? Any idea what's going on in the world?

Also, you don't want to be a lich. Liches are dicks. Be a heroic vampire so you'll have men and women lining up to have sex with you and/or feed you their blood.
Also, you can get basically all the same powers, but you don't have to be a skeleton or a festering sack of meat AND you can get people to respect you for a reason other than fear!

Totally a better deal.

YOUR NAME IS NOW DERRICK. DEEEEERRRRRRRIIIIIIICK.

>>333624
AND YOUR SECOND NAME IS DUKE. DERRICK DUKE IS YOU.

My name is... my name is...!

I don't remember. My succulent brain doesn't appear to have succulent memory after the whole out-of-coffin experience!

My name is now DERRICK DUKE.

Vampire would be pretty cool. I never tried it before, actually. I see blood, and my first thought generally hasn't been "Drink that right up!" Not that I'm judging. Derrick Duke is not a judger!

Alright yeah the library!

I uh... I don't know how to read.

Don't worry, you have souls inside you that do.

You know how to wizard but you don't know how to read?

Speaking of wizarding, what stuff can you do with your magic?

>>333628
Seriously? Well, that limits our options. I guess we'll just wander aimlessly unless you know of any other interesting places to go in here.

Hey, who were you talking to before us? Also, what kind of magic can you use?

Well, about that, um.. apparently I'm supposed to become a mage. I don't actually know how to mage yet! Or read. Maybe I should learn how to do that too. So, no magic. Or reading. Maybe wandering aimlessly.

I think I saw a mage practice chamber, and an evil dungeon, and the dragon roost and the alchemy shop with that one succubus and then the lich's throne and man I can't believe I don't know how to read even that kid kobold can read.

>>even that kid kobold can read
FUCK THIS IS THE WAY PAST

What kobold?

Seeing as most of us souls can read I'm guessing we're only here to give you guidance and not abilities. Either that or you just can't get reading ability from a soul.

Oh, and to answer two questions with one stone, I was talking to the kobold! Real nice kid. A little dense at times, but everyone else has incredibly evil faces and are always intense all the time. Well, not everyone, some of the more unusual residents can be... not intense?

Yup. This communication orb was given to me to chat with others. Spiffy stuff.

Inventory from left to right:

-The shattered remnants of my social life.
-One suspiciously fine set of pearly whites in my mouth, a staunch rebellion against my zombie like state.
-A... note, asking to call someone with the accompanying rune alignment. I don't remember where I got this, odd. Too bad I dropped the orb!

Definitely shapeshifting.

Alteration! They get in your grill, you're like BOOM! YOU'RE A FROG NOW!

60 days later.

Oh god I haven't eaten or pretty much talked to anyone worth talking to. But I got magic. After 24 hours a day. Everyday. Apparently I only have the capacity for three spells at a time. I can learn any of the ones below, but only can have 3 at a time. I can change them later, but it takes a few hours each time I want to switch spells around. Something about being a zombie. I didn't really listen.

Available spells! Pick 3 for now!
Open lock. (This goes for any non-magical lock, and I'm pretty good at bypassing all but the strongest anti-magic locks.)
Water breathing.
Shapeshift (self) (Same amount of mass is easy, making myself smaller or bigger is possible but only for a few minutes!
Polymorph Other (Same restrictions as above.)
Flight (I can't go very fast, maybe around 10 miles per hour upwards?)
Feather Fall
Increase strength (Triple my own!)
Increase Speed (Also triple!)
Invisibility (I can hold it for about 4 minutes, but can't cast anything else while it's on.)

>Would you hug a necromantic bird? I wouldn't. You wouldn't. Nobody would.
Chee would.

>>333695
Increase speed. Shapeshifting. Polymorph others.

OH LOOK AT ME I AM A HARMLESS BIRD NO NOT THE FREAKY UNDEAD KIND NORMAL BIRD ALSO YOU ARE NOW A FROG AND I AM RUNNING AWAY SO FAST HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

Shapeshift
Polymorph other
Open Lock

You will be the ultimate... cat burglar.

>>333695
Invisibility, Open Lock, Shapeshift.

You shall be a spy.

shapeshift, increase strength, and increase speed.

>>333703
Increase speed can basically act as a proxy Increase strength so I don't think getting both would be necessary unless you wanted to punch REAL HARD

>>333695
Speed, shapeshift self, open lock. This'll be great.

>>333695
You'ra a zombie why do you need water breathing?
Anyway go with shape shifting, increase speed and increase strength.
1.TURN INTO A GNOLL
2.PUNCH EVERYTHING
3.???

So now I'm in open range again. Maybe I should fix my communication orb, go and talk to someone?

Actuallllyyy, now that I have these spells, the oddest thing happened. I just started to notice all of these doors everwhere. They were there before of course, but now, they're just screaming out to my eyes, with their beautiful looking locks.

>>333715

you know what to do.

You know what's also screaming out for attention?
Your newly shapeshifted breasts.

>>333715
There is really only one option.

Unless someone has specifically told you to not open a door, then by giving you the Open Lock spell they've implicitly given you permission to go exploring through every locked door. Yay exploration!

Transform into the butler.
Explore.

First room breached! First target: Evident slob!

Sooo, yep. Someone's room. Breaking the law. I think.

Open the drawers
Jack all the sweet loot

eat the red thing

Shit on the desk and bawk like an chicken
it beckons
after stealing sweet loot of course

>>333732
What's that gunk on the floor and leaking out of the cabinet?

Also, shapeshift into something less recognizable. Like, a bunny. Then if you get caught, you can run away and they won't know who it was! Make sure you don't shapeshift into anyone you know, though. Don't wanna get anyone in trouble.

Shapeshift into a young kobold with a wizard robe and pointy hat. No negative repercussions foreseen.

tip tip tip

Oh god someone's coming this way. I could shapeshift but into what? There's no exits except the door, and there's a window here but there's no sill or anything to grab hold of.

I can shapeshift into something 1/5 or 5x my size. Kobold's with wizard hats and bunnies are acceptable, but I do need to hide!

Turn into a coatrack.

Turn into a sextoy

>>333745
Chair.

Wait no, turn into your body mass's equivalent to the amount of wallpaper that looks exactly like the wall to cover the walls

Shapeshift into... something that can climb walls, so you can hide above the door. A gecko?

Oh, it's room to a kobold?

Burp. Also mess up your shapeshift and turn into the kobold.

Steal her hat and burn it.

Belch fire and mess up the shapeshifting, causing your face to pop out of the backrest of the chair.
