A lone man was currently stepping in a not too hurry and not too slow steps. All around him was pitch-black. The whole place was gloomy. And besides the stepping sounds of his feet, he could only hear the water droplets that were coming from who knows where. Sometimes an eerie low growl could be heard from somewhere around the place. But it seems like he didn't care much of it.

The air was chilly inside, and the smell of blood was intense in this place. Spat was flying all around. "Damn, smell!" The man curses in a low and indistinctive voice since his left palm was wrapping on his mouth and nose.

In the darkness, the red eyes of this man were very conspicuous. He was like a monster himself. But the man was an ordinary human. No, he's not ordinary at all.

On his right palm, the bright-red glow was covering on it. And he seemed holding something in it.

Based on the man's figure, he was at his teens, and maybe a boy was the most suited to describe him instead of a man. But this boy was not the real boy himself because he truly was a man, a man who came-- from another world.

Right at this moment, he summoned his Window-Interface.

Now that he was not holding an inappropriate weapon, and received a Fountain of Souls, no more penalties on his status. It also meant that no more minuses to the overall of his stats. Maybe you figured out that even though he had 24 on his <Basic Stats> when he's level 10, but he has little <Base Stats>. Like for example on his <Dexterity>, supposedly every 1 dexterity was equal to 5 of his <Accuracy>, so, the total accuracy should be at 120. Plus additional 6 from his <Personal Stats> which was <Critical>. The total was 126. But what listed in his <Base Stats> was 91. That was because of the penalty that he received.

But those penalties were gone now. To calculate all his <Basic Stats> and <Base Stats>,

1 Strength = 5 Attack

3 Strength = 1 Defense/ 1 Spd

1 Vitality = 5 Defense/ 5% Sta/ 50 Hp

1 Sense = 5 Perception

1 Dexterity = 5 Accuracy/ 3 Atk

1 Agility = 5 Speed/ 3 Atk

That's how his status calculations work. But of course, his <Base Stats> calculation was optional. It dependant on his <Sub Class>, just like what happened to his agility after he became an apprentice assassin. From 1 agility equal to 5 speed it became 1 agility equal to 7 speed, and the attack became 5.

Whereas, every level up granted him 2 points on every aspect of his <Basic Stats>, and 10 extra points.

"My Lord, enemy incoming, ahead," Elder Priest warned.

Sudden telepathy from his pet who was walking ahead of him.

Yeman nodded, and then, took a stone from his pocket. After that, his right hand exuded a glowing bright red. Then it slowly envelopes the stone in his hand.

A hissing noise ahead of them reaches Yeman's ears. After a few seconds, a monster rat with knuckles on its hands rapidly dashed towards Yeman and Elder Priest. But before it could reach them, without even lifting his hand, a streak of red light shoot toward the knuckle user rat. Yeman flung the stone using his fingers.
