"Woah! Three entire levels? Nice, I'm level five!" Keir cheered and put away his gear into the inventory, returning to his uniformed state. He wanted to accept his quest rewards for completing the quest, he was curious to see what items he would get from it.
Reaper's Mask (Lesser) - A black mask that covers the lower half of the user's face, simple but useful. Permanently boosts all stats by 5%.
Scythe Fragment x1 - A broken piece of a reaper's main weapon, used to craft a powerful scythe.
Both Items were worth it in Keir's opinion so it was a win-win situation. He gained three levels, 200 credits, two new useful items he would check out later, what could the system possibly do next? As if the system was listening in on his thoughts, a sudden notification appeared in his vision.
[Level 5 has been reached. The Evolution process will now commence.]
"Evolution process-" Keir was cut off by a familiar sensation spreading throughout his body. It was the feeling he felt when encountering that mysterious figure just a day ago. In the midst of that happening, a dark aura quickly formed and engulfed his body entirely. The process was not harmful in any way, but it did feel extremely uncomfortable as Keir felt like the inside of his body was being tampered with in real time, but he forced himself to endure it for now.
It felt like an eternity had passed before Keir was released from the strange, black energy. He found himself breathing heavily and clenching his chest, something felt different…New.
[Evolution process completed. You are now a Lesser Reaper]
The sudden notification took Keir off guard. "Lesser Reaper? What does that mean?" The term was unfamiliar to him and he had no idea what it meant, but it obviously meant something important, but what? He looked into a nearby mirror in the infirmary to see if his appearance had changed. At first he saw nothing, but when looking closer, Keir could see that his skin was a bit paler than before, his jawline was shaper, his hair was longer by a few short inches, and his irises were even darker.
"Wow! I look so…" He blinked in awe, running a few of his fingers across his newly soft skin and a hand through his grown hair. It was like looking at a much more defined version of himself. However, that wasn't all that the system notified him about, and he was hit with another notification.
[Skill Alert!]
Skill Name: Hollow Blade Lvl.1
Skill Type: Race Skill
Description: When this skill is activated, -10 Mana will be deducted from the Mana bar. The user will conjure up a small amount of power and form a medium-sized blade, made from Reaper energy. Skill lasts for ten seconds and has a 10% of landing critical damage when landed.
Keir's eyes widened in excitement and surprise. He had been wondering when he would get his first skills, and it seemed like the system granted him just that. "Hollow Blade? And its skill type is something I've seen before in games, but not in real life." The skill type Keir was referring to was the Race Skill category.
In games, a player could choose their race at the start of the game and earn skills that are connected to that origin. However, that wasn't a concept in the real world, or so he thought. "This must be connected to the Lesser Reaper thing…am I not human anymore..? Now that I think about it…the figure who granted me this system didn't seem human either…" Keir couldn't help but feel a shiver of uncertainty crawl up his spine, but he didn't want to jump to conclusions yet until he had answers.
Keir snapped out of it and realized he must've had a decent amount of newly gained stat points, "Open," he commanded.

"Now this is what I'm talking about!" Keir's earlier excitement resurfaced and clouded the uneasiness he was feeling, knowing that having this amount of stat points meant a good increase in power, depending on how he spent them. But right now, he wasn't sure what to spend these stat points on. When aiding Lucas, Keir had dumped those five stat points into strength because he was in a rush, but now he actually had a few minutes before heading to the gathering in the combat class.
"Maybe I should evenly distribute these stat points and see what happens…" Keir mused, thinking it was a good idea to do so because he wanted to see how each attribute would affect his body. He returned to the status menu and distributed the 15 stat points evenly.
[Stats]
|Strength|18|
|Agility|13|
|Defense|13|
|Intelligence|13|
|Senses|13|
|Available Stat Points|0|
After doing so, Keir felt a subtle shift in his body, nothing too significant, but enough to tell him that he had grown in some way. His body felt faster, but also more durable. His mind felt slightly clearer than before, as if he could learn quicker. And his senses felt stronger, but only slightly. But Keir could tell it was from the various different stat categories.
"So this is how the other stat categories feel. Hm, it's a satisfying feeling." He thought before noticing a change in his Health points and Mana. Both bars had a slight increase.
|HP|115/115|
|Mana|65/65|
Keir hummed in thought, realizing that both bars increased by 15 after he distributed those three stat points into the categories. His health increased from, obviously, increasing his Endurance stat by three. And his Mana increased most likely from increasing intelligence. "So a 15 bar increase every three stat points distributed in those two areas? So 5 each stat point." Keir hummed and moved towards the door of the infirmary, done looking through all of his rewards.
There was no need to linger in the infirmary any longer than he had to. He made sure his uniform was straight and neat as he walked out, ready to catch up to Lucas and Tasha, who were on their way to the assembly happening in the large combat classroom.
