"elder brother......" It was pitch black around me...I couldn't see anything... "elder brother......" A voice echoed in the void, shrouded in mystery. I felt a pull, an irresistible force leading me to an unknown destination. "Looking for...the moon..." A voice echoed in my mind...but the words were unclear... I could feel her smile...but my eyes couldn't see it... The whispers grew louder as I tried to put the pieces of the puzzle together. A vision flashed before my eyes, shining silver and bathed in soft moonlight. I felt it was so important, like a key to my inner secrets, but at the same time I knew nothing about it… As time went by, the knot in my heart grew bigger and bigger...the feeling of suffocation overwhelmed me.
"ha!" I opened my eyes suddenly and woke up with my heart pounding. I gasped for air, shaking off the dream that haunted my mind. The darkness of the room enveloped me, and for a moment I tried to distinguish reality from the lingering echoes of my dream. "Ha ha......" My hand instinctively went to my chest, feeling my rapidly beating heart, trying to calm myself down. The vision of that person smiling and whispering those elusive words into the void has been haunting me, leaving me with a lingering sense of unease. "What was that dream?" I whispered, barely audible, as fragments of the dream danced in my mind. Is it her? The person I've always thought about... Although it's vague, I still know her identity... After all, it can't be anyone else except her... "Um?" Suddenly, I felt a movement in my legs and a groaning sound. "What?" My mind came back to its senses and I began to look around. My eyes gradually adjusted to the dim light in the room, and when the surroundings gradually became clear, I found myself lying on a comfortable bed covered with white sheets. The room was spacious, and soft sunlight shone in through the half-drawn curtains, casting gentle sunlight on the wooden floor. The walls are covered with intricate tapestries depicting scenes from the college's history, and along one wall a variety of healing potions and medical tools are displayed on shelves. The aroma of herbs and medicines lingers in the air, creating an atmosphere of calm and healing. 'This must be the college's infirmary,' I thought, looking at the room. "hiss....." But just as I was about to turn my body to the side, I felt a slight pain in my chest. I looked down and saw that my chest was wrapped in a bandage. This reminds me of the injuries I suffered while fighting the Mist Ghost. Soon after, I was able to remember what happened before I passed out. The pain has subsided now, but I can't remember what happened after I lost consciousness.
"But I'm still alive and still here. Someone must have found me." I thought, and immediately turned my gaze to the side, only to see a girl sleeping next to me. "Who?" At first, I thought it was an unknown person, but the moment I looked at the girl, I immediately recognized her identity. "Sylvia Solaris" After all, she is a well-known character in the game. As I stared at Sylvie, memories from the game flooded into my mind. In the game, she was a future saint, a gentle and caring healer with flowing blonde hair and a pair of charming green eyes, and her character was known for her kindness and willingness to help others. Despite this, she is also a helpful girl and tries her best to help others. Due to her kind nature and rare healing abilities, she was admitted to the Astor Hunter Academy. If it was her, then it would make sense that I was still here. I knew the wound on my chest was deep, and if it wasn't treated in time, I could be in danger if I lost consciousness. But in my plan, after I activate the Holy Light Scroll, the teachers and patrols will definitely be attracted, and the props will destroy the barrier of the fog ghost, but I still think that I will be grounded for review for a period of time. "But if Sylvie was there, it would make sense even if she didn't fully heal me. Her healing skills must not have improved yet," I thought to myself. But... when did she arrive? Did she witness what happened? Did she see how I killed the Mist Ghost? Silvi moved slightly in her sleep, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and these questions lingered in my mind. I watched her for a moment, her chest rising and falling as she breathed quietly. It felt strange to be here, in the real world, watching her as a living person instead of a fictional character in a game. Although I had seen other characters in the mess hall and on the training grounds, this was the first time I had observed a well-known figure so closely. Her complexion was fair with a hint of fineness, her blonde hair was scattered on her back, and she looked plain. However, after a closer look, I saw signs of messy makeup. I found that some strands of her hair were intertwined, revealing a messy look, and it seemed that she had no time to pay attention to her appearance. Her clothes are plain and have minor signs of wear, suggesting she lives frugally or is financially strapped. This is her casual style. However, the neatness of her clothing suggests she is trying to maintain a respectable appearance despite her difficult circumstances. Her hands are rough but not calloused, which suggests she hasn't done much heavy manual labor, but may have done some delicate work, which is to be expected, since she is the game's healer. At the moment, she definitely doesn't have a weapon yet. Being a healer doesn't mean she doesn't need to learn how to protect herself. It's quite the opposite, because healers are all light attributes, which makes them targets for demons. But right now, she hasn't learned how to protect herself yet. But there is still a problem. "Why is she here?" Although we were in the same class, I had never communicated with her. There were many questions that needed to be answered, but I felt someone was watching me. I immediately noticed the presence of other people around me, and the faint, lingering feeling that I was being watched. “It must be a skill,” I concluded. It was a subtle feeling, but I couldn’t see any cameras or recording devices here. It looks like I can only wait for them to show up on their own. I also need to check my data. As I thought about it, I called up the status window in my mind. ———— Name: Morse Scott Occupation: Weapon Master (Level 1) Talent Cap: 6
— Passive: Blade of Vengeance — Attributes: Strength: → Agility: → Constitution: → Perception: → Magic Power: → Mana Capacity: → — Features: Insight Perception (Unique) Moon (???) (Growth) (Stage 0) Shadow (Legendary) (Growing) (Stage 1) — Stunt Basic Dagger Skill (Normal) 12% → 36% Basic Combat (Normal) 29% -Skill Sprint (Normal) Sharp Eyes (Advanced) — Psionic Brand ??? ———— When the panel appeared in front of me, my attention was immediately drawn to the new properties displayed below. "Passive attributes appeared." This is a special tile that is used to activate special buffs when certain conditions are met. Normally, it is hidden because most people will not have such special skills unless they meet certain conditions. 【Blade of Vengeance】 Looking at the name, a passive description comes up. ————
Passive: Vengeance Blade Description: Passive, this passive allows the user to deal more damage to demons driven by the desire for revenge. With the Blade of Vengeance skill, the user's attacks are infused with more powerful energy, penetrating the demon's defenses and causing greater damage to the enemy. This skill reflects the user's determination to retaliate against those who have hurt him and those he cares about, transforming his anger into a powerful force. ———— "A passive that comes from myself?" According to the content of the game, it is reasonable for me to have such a passive skill. After all, Ethan and other protagonists will also gain relevant passive skills. But there was one more thing that caught my attention. The reason I risked my life and nearly got killed by that primal demon was because of this new feature. ———— Features: Shadow Description: An innate trait granted by the Mist Ghost that allows the user to skillfully harness and manipulate shadows. It enhances the user's control over darkness, allowing them to twist and shape shadows to their will. Phase 1 Shadow Veil: The user gains the ability to blend perfectly with the shadows, becoming nearly invisible in dimly lit environments. This gives them enhanced stealth and the ability to move undetected. ———— This is a growth trait that unlocks more and more skills and perks over time and with increased mastery. In the game, when the Mist Ghost is killed, this trait is passed on to another demon that is attacking the academy. That demon can use this new trait to blend into the shadows and escape. Afterwards, he will appear as a very scary demon heir. "But this won't happen again," I murmured. After all, it was in my hands now. I was tempted to play with the shadow in my hand, but I knew I was being watched, so I decided to let it go for now. I have also made considerable progress in all aspects of my physical condition, which makes me very happy. After closing the status window, I began to watch Sylvie sleeping comfortably... Until the door of the ward was opened...
