As my consciousness merged with Morse's, the lines between us blurred and I became one with his soul. It was a transcendent experience, like I had opened my eyes for the first time and was seeing the world through his eyes, feeling his pain and emotions at the same time. When I opened my eyes again, the darkness that had enveloped me for so long dissipated. "Ah..." I opened my mouth to speak reflexively, but felt a strong smell of blood entering my mouth. It was a familiar smell, and then, severe pain swept over my whole body. "Ugh...!" I groaned in pain, my whole body was overwhelmed. However, the pain did not make me feel uncomfortable, but made me feel alive again. "Long-lost feeling..." I murmured to myself, even though it filled my whole body with pain. I don't know who tied me up or who brought me here, I know nothing about it. But I was alive, I could feel sensations in my body again… and that was enough. "Hahaha!" I couldn't help but laugh crazily... because everything I experienced couldn't be judged by common sense. "Uh..." followed by another groan, and I felt sore all over again. As Morse's emotions returned, the anger in me grew.
No, it wasn't just his emotions, I think back on everything now. Morse and I were one... We were one now, our goals were one... “Now that I think about it, my existence is nothing more than that of an insignificant, superfluous person who is destined to die, just to beautify the existence of a protagonist.” This realization hit me like a bolt from the blue, but it did not arouse my anger. Instead, it inspired my unyielding determination. "Well, my fate should be decided by me!" I declared. The pain that ravaged my body became my unshakable determination. I endured the pain in my body and slowly stood up. I began to look around and found myself in a remote place. “That’s also where they’ve been bullying me.” I began to recall the background of the academy... As one of the most famous hunter academies in the Human Federation, Arcadia Academy occupies a fairly large area. It is not difficult to find a place here that is unknown to others. "I have to take care of the wounds first..." Thinking this, I dragged my tired body back to the dormitory. ...... When I got back to the dorm, I immediately jumped into the bathtub. Arcadia Hunter Academy is a place to train potential hunters. "Status window." I muttered to myself in my mind and tried to open my status panel. This is one of the most important abilities of becoming an awakener, which means that you can view your own attributes and use the power of the awakener. But each person's status panel is only visible to themselves. At my command, a translucent window panel appeared before my eyes. ———— Name: Morse Scott Occupation: Weapon Master (Level 1) Talent Cap: 4
— Attributes: Strength: Agility: Constitution: Perception: Mana Power: 0 (?) → Mana Capacity: 0 (?) → — Features: Insight Perception (Unique) ??? — Stunt Basic Dagger Skills (Normal) 12% Basic Combat (Normal) 29% - Skill Sprint (Normal) Sharp Eyes (Advanced) — Psychic Brand: ??? ———— Looking at these data, I muttered to myself: "This is why I am so weak." Considering that the average attribute of an average adult is 2, my attributes are a bit disappointing. The main reason is the talent limit, because Morse's talent limit is 4, so he can only reach 4 in his lifetime. This is also the setting of the game, which determines a person's level. However... there is a question mark next to the magic and mana capacity, which is also the problem that has been bothering Morse before. At the beginning, after he awakened, he was different from others and he could not use any mana. Why is it zero? Why couldn't he use his mana before? This is the question he always asked himself before, but he could never find the answer. But I know the reason behind this. That means it is sealed, because in the game, you can only see a question mark when your attribute is sealed. But...why is it back to normal now?
This question lingered in my mind and the answer soon emerged. It was because of me. His soul was not complete before, and as I realized this, I felt that the reason why I was dragged into this world began to surface. So what triggered it? What brought me here? "Is it because of his sister... no, to be more precise, my sister's death?" These thoughts lingered in my mind and I couldn't explain them for the time being, so I turned my attention to 'career'. Occupations are talents based on statistics. For example, if you have a talent for using swords, your class is "Swordsman", and if you have a talent for using bows, your class is "Ranger". At the beginning, Morse was like this too. His profession was "Assassin", so he practiced dagger hard. But now my profession has become "Weapon Master". "It seems that after our souls merged, our talents also merged." 'Weapon Master' is one of the rarest professions in this world. Unlike other professions that can only master one weapon, the 'Weapon Master' can master all weapons. After looking at my statistics, next comes the section on traits and skills. “Insight into perception” is something Morse also didn’t have, and I began to look for a description. ———— Insight Perception: Insight perception can give an individual a heightened ability to observe and understand their surroundings with extraordinary clarity and depth. People with this trait have a keen sense of perception, able to notice subtle details, patterns, and hidden abilities. It includes keen observation skills and a deep understanding of the information collected. ———— When I finished my research, I understood why I had this feature now. "It was because of an ability I learned during the time I was trapped in the necklace." Seeing this feature level (unique) makes me feel relieved. Tiers represent the rarity and degree of ability of a person's traits, skills, and specialties. Tiers are ranked as follows. Common＜High＜Rare＜Unique＜Epic＜Legendary However, there was one more thing that caught my attention. A lingering sense of mystery. "Those question marks, my secondary characteristics that I haven't activated yet." I thought, pondering the reasons, but I couldn't come to a conclusion, so I had to leave it for later. Then there are the skills. Skills are fixed modes that you activate to use, and then it costs mana. They are generally hard to come by, and most average hunters will have three or four at most. Initially Morse only had one skill, but after I merged with him, there was an additional skill. ———— Skills: Sprint Level: Normal Description: An augmented skill that allows the user to move with extraordinary speed and agility, beyond normal physical limits. It allows the user to dash forward quickly, gaining significant advantages both offensively and defensively. ————
Skills: Sharp Eyes Level: Advanced Description: It can enhance the user's visual perception ability, making his field of vision clearer and wider. By channeling mana, the user can increase the range of observation, so as to perceive distant objects or small details around. ———— Looking at this skill, it should be attached to my characteristics, which also means it is my soul skill. Finally, there is the last item in the status window, “Psionic Brand”. Having a psionic brand means that you can unlock a special type of physique, but it is difficult to unlock it. And so, I finished studying the window panel and walked out of the bathroom...
