Heir Of Yggdrasil 3 Memories And Double Evolution

The situation with the squirrel had been going on for a few days now and zero progress was achieved. And finally, the system couldn't take it anymore.

'Wait, what impact, what memory, and what does upload mean-Ahhhhh-it hurts-ahhh-make it stopppp-i'm gonna die!'

After 6 hours of me continuously, mentally screaming, the pain finally eased.

What didn't ease though, was my confusion. My head or more specifically my mind, as I don't have a head, was filled with tons of memories. Okay, that's a lie because if they were this heavy I would physically break under the pressure and so far I'm only breaking mentally.

It took me two more days to order everything that had been forcefully crammed into my head. As to what it is, memories. Memories of my past life.

'I have lived in this world for so long and now you make me remember all this, why?'

'Is that all!? You know what, fine. I don't even care anymore, let's get this acorn.'

In my previous life, I had been a peak high mage that was stuck at his rank due to insufficient potential. Died of old age and a long life after 1300 something years.

I seemed to be in luck as the squirrel just jumped out of the bushes taking its usual way to bring home its acorn. Usually, I would start firing leaves right about now but I wasn't the same as before. I quickly gathered some magic in a leaf, forming a peculiar looking symbol and firing the leaf. The leaf flew with terrifying aim and pierced straight through the squirrel's head. The deed was done, the fiend dead and the acorn dropped. Next, utilizing large amounts of time and willpower I moved both squirrel and acorn to my tree body with a vine I grew with nature magic.

Upon contact, both objects dissolved into s.h.i.+ning particles and entered my body. And boy the system didn't let me wait even a second before immediately giving a prompt.

'And now?'

The system was right, I felt the knowledge to do so in my mind. So I formed some magic power in my branches and willed that acorn to grow. Not long after an acorn was formed on one of my branches. I was prepared to spend the next few days growing more but the system would have none of that.

'Apple'

I answered without thinking. The question was suspect, no questions asked but it was a natural reflex to just answer. And with me having just regained my memories, everything was still fresh and present.

The second I registered that I might have answered a bit too hastily I felt a short pang of pain in my mind. I discovered the sudden existence of a new magic structure next to the acorn, presumably from an apple. The acorn I had previously grown had also turned into a s.h.i.+ny red apple.

'System, explain in great detail what happened today, please.'

'Stop! Use English for G.o.d's sake, not half latinized nonsense and stick to important stuff.'

'What was the condition for the second evolution?'

'Why would there even be such an evolution if it could only last a few seconds?'

'Nice going there system, perfect excuse complemented by a following threat.'

So I chose to go after this highly dubious happening no more and grow some apples.

It took me a while to get the hang of it but I could eventually grow apples without expending too much effort. Another half year had pa.s.sed and I had grown to a height of 15 meters. The lowest two meters were only bark but above that branches started to extend, decorated in lush leaves. Countless red apples were scattered over my tree crown, sparkling in the morning sun like gems. At least that's how I imagined them to look. Magic perception might have its perks but seeing things like reflections and s.h.i.+nes wasn't among them.

A nice evening was just coming to a close and darkness started to devour the world when a bang echoed over the forest. A storm was fast approaching it seemed. I didn't think anything of it, it wasn't the first storm that I had witnessed and surely wouldn't be the last. Admittedly, I had been pretty freaked out the first time as I could only perceive the influx in thunder energy and the sonic waves.

Thinking this storm would be like any other I settled down waiting to enjoy the feeling of rain and the cool winds. Yet the expected rain didn't come. Only the amount of thunder energy in the surrounding air wouldn't stop rising. And suddenly I felt pain, not physical pain, more like I was losing something important.

'How are you so calm. Won't a forest fire be bad?'
