Closing my inventory, I let out an annoyed sigh, it was a pity that beginner's luck had run out before the boss could arrive. Maybe I would've gained something useful besides a bottle of wine that allows me to reenact Romeo and Juliet.

[Ya know; for someone who's highest stat is Wisdom, you sure as hell don't show it.]

Of course, the System decided to bring that matter back up.

"I already told you, if I simply vanished from my room and they happened to check up on me; it would raise more than a few eyebrows." I explained, the sarcastic tone of the System soon filling my head.

[Oh sure, you totally didn't forget you could enter the empty dungeon to decrease your exhaustion.]

Coughing; I blamed the fact that I wasn't adjusted to the sudden eidetic memory. Her words held truth despite the thick sarcasm, while in the outside world the pieces of the souls would dissipate to Hell or Heaven.

In the Dungeon, they had no way to go; it was one of the few perks of the dungeon. While I wasn't sure exactly why; I learned not to question things that benefited me in the long run.

While the process took me hours upon hours -I was sure that the sun had started to rise- I had finally depleted my storage of souls and finished the product, and it only took me over two dozen Mana Recovery Potions.

[Epic Soul] (Fusion)

[A soul fused by Tsuki Satanchia, carries the strength and will of over a thousand zombies.

Rarity: Epic]

While there wasn't much change in description, this was the first item in my possession to have an Epic rarity. There was much change to the soul, besides the faint golden tint in the center.

Clasping the soul roughly; my suspicions were confirmed when I began to mold it, it was far more durable than common zombie souls. Frowning, I noticed it was far colder too; numbingly so.

Not only that, it was originally bigger than my head; so I had to condense it down into a smaller form.

Concentrating on the wispy ball of silver, I begin to shape and mold it; turning it thinner but longer as well. The process was a lot smoother than my first attempt with a common soul; of course this was due to the fact that my skill has reached near its level cap.

[Soul Fusion] -LVL 97/100 (92%) [Novice]

[Able to fuse dissipating souls into their original form; or fuse two complete souls to form a stronger soul.

Cost: 100 MP

Rarity: Rare]

There weren't any changes to the skill, be it description or cost; but by the time I reached half of the level cap I could fuse four or more souls at once. It sharply decreased the cost of time but also raised the pace at which I drank the potions.

Despite the practice I had with fusing souls; shaping the soul itself was proving to be a tad more difficult than I first thought it would be.

[Skill Created!]

[Soul Form] -LVL 1/100 (92%) [Novice]

[Able to truly twist the soul and manipulate it to however the user desires; shaping the soul into a weapon or a mere decoration.

Cost: 1,..... MP

Rarity: Unique]

Allowing the silver glow to envelope the surroundings; the dark and gloomy dungeon was illuminated by a bright light that became increasingly dimmer at an alarming rate. It didn't take long for said light to finally vanish and condense to what was in my hands.

Grasping the hilt; I inspected my craft, a fully translucent silver longsword, it's weight light and balanced despite its length. Cold to the touch but almost comforting, it was a bit beautiful if I was being honest.

"Observe"

[?]

[A longsword crafted by the Soul Magic Novice, Tsuki Satanachia, using the souls of thousands of human turned zombies as the catalyst.

Durability: 10K/10K

DMG: WIS * INT + 400

Rarity: Epic]

I smiled, pleased with the results as I wiped off the beads of sweat from my forehead; it seemed like all the exhaustion it had cost me was worth it. Although I would've preferred it if it had a name.

[First of its kind, since you're the creator you can give it one.]

How about… Kireina? Upon my decision, the weapon's info was changed; I guess it really was that simple. Placing the weapon in my Dream Storage, I decide to have it in a place where I can draw the weapon without raising eyebrows.

It never hurt to be prepared, especially during this era where the Great War barely ended.

[How did you even come up with the thought to use the souls into a sword?]

While creating a soul technique would've been preferable, I only had a finite number of souls to work with. And trying to create a technique like Soul Subduementrequired a living specimen; something I lacked.

As such, with no choice and knowing full well that the second dungeon would be many times more difficult than the first; I created a weapon that would last me some time until I become more powerful

[+1 WIS for thinking ahead]

Dusting off the dust that clung to my clothing; I raised my hand. It should be morning soon and I would rather not have to explain why I disappeared from my room.

"ID Destroy" Almost as if I was entrapped in a glass cage, reality shattered before me like a poor and fragile imitation of the true world. Standing upon my original spot where I first entered the dungeon, a frown settled on my face.

I was hoping the distance traveled in the dungeon would also equal the distance traveled in the real world, but apparently not. It would've been a gift all thieves and fugitives would slice their and their mother's arm for.

Well, it was also a good thing I didn't actually move from my original spot. Explaining why I could simply vanish and reappear in a different spot would be rather difficult to explain.

[As if I would ever give you such a powerful ability so early on.]

Of course , whatever you say.
