After making sure that he was registered for the upcoming cup and checking out the rules of the Shadow Ranking Cup, Shin could now have some time to relax. And while he was at it, he also took a look at the harvest that he got from his Awakening Quest.

The first in the line were the skills that he managed to create during the time that he spent inside that hellish special dungeon.

--------------------------

--------------------------

Self-Created Skill (Personalized)

MP Cost: 7,000

Cooldown: 5 minutes

Note: This skill can only be used when the sword is sheath.

--------------------------

During his battle against the clones of Mondi and Regan, his opponents pushed him to his limits and forced him to improve even further. And due to that, these two new skills were born.

He still had a lot of ideas on creating a few more skills. But unfortunately, he couldn't execute them the way he wanted even if he had the whole picture in mind.

But at the same time, he still managed to create one more Self-Created Skill based on the Power of Eclipse.

--------------------------

Self-Created Skill (Personalized)

Skill Name: Eclipse Shower

Skill Rank: Epic

Skill Level: Tier 2

Details:

Call forth the power of Eclipse, summoning a bunch of powerful beams from the sky.

Each Beam will land on all of the enemies inside the 5-meter range away from you.

Each Beam will deal a damage equivalent to 500% Mixed Damage (Physical + Magical)

MP Cost: 10,000

Duration: 10 seconds

Cooldown: 5 minutes

--------------------------

After seeing the details of those skills, Shin proceeded to check out the rewards that he got from his Awakening Quest. And just like what Arthur and Leonard had said, the Awakening Skill that he got from this quest was obviously much stronger than the usual Awakening Skills; what's more, he got 2 skills at that.

--------------------------

Skill Name: The Dance of the Sun and Moon (Passive)

Skill Rank: Special (Awakening Skill)

Details: Increase the damage that you can deal when switching between powers of the Sun and the Moon while also increasing its extra effects at the same time.

(From Ice to Fire): Combustion

-Deal an extra damage (200% of the total damage of the fire-type skill) if you hit your enemy with a flame-type skill after using an ice-type skill.

(From Fire to Ice): Frozen

-Deal an extra Damage (100% of the total damage of the ice-type skill) and freeze your opponent for 2 seconds after hitting them with your fire to ice combo.

--------------------------

Skill Name: Eclipse Stance (Passive)

Skill Rank: Special (Awakening Skill)

Details: After you put your sword back to its sheath, you will gain Super Armor that will reduce all of that damage dealt to you by 50% and also give you an immunity protection against any type of CC-skills (Grappling Skills excluded).

Duration: 2 seconds after sheathing the sword

Cooldown: 5 seconds after sheathing the sword

--------------------------

These two skills perfectly fit Shin's style of battle, which gave him a lot of leeway at doing multiple things.

The first one was just the improved version of his Fire-Ice combo, but he didn't need to concern himself about messing up his rhythm whenever he was doing that combo; the bonus damage and freezing effects would surely take effect as long as he was transitioning his skills between those two elements.

At the same time, he got some Skill and Legacy Points as a bonus reward of that quest. But he didn't spend any of them yet since he had other plans for them.

He didn't need to buy any more skills books for the time being. His current skill arsenal was sufficiently enough to support him for now. He also didn't need to concern himself about the lack of magical skills since the 'Regan's Method' Legacy Skill was more than enough to fill that spot.

If his guess was right, then this Legacy Skill was quite special as it could give him a bunch of magical spells when it reached a certain level; especially when he witnessed how helpful this skill could be during his battle against Regan's clone.

At the same time, he was also expecting that he could combine some of the 'spell links' if he utilized the spells correctly.

And given with all of these thoughts, Shin was planning to save his Legacy Points for as much as possible. "Looks like I really need to win this Shadow Ranking Cup. And also look for some high-ranking quest that can give me a lot of Legacy Points when I get a chance."

After that, he proceeded checking out the other cards that were added on his arsenal.

--------------------------

Elemental Spirit Possession

Type: Weapon Possession

Details: Summon your Elemental Companions and fuse them with your designated weapon, improving the skills and effects of that weapon by 100% while also giving you a bunch of extra abilities at the same time.

Note 1: Every time you successfully contracted an Elemental Spirit, the respective Possession will automatically be unlocked.

Note 2: The higher control you have over your Elementa Spirits, the better the effects these Possession can give.

--------------------------

Due to the intensity of the battles that he had gone through, Shin finally got his own style of elemental possession. And after experiencing the benefits that he could get from using them, he finally understood how powerful he could be with these elemental possessions.

"So, this is one of the advantages that a Transcendent Race can have compared to the lesser ranking races," muttered Shin as he took a look at the current list of Transcendent Beings.

On the list, there are already a total of 30 known Transcendent Races of the game including himself. And under this list, there were some Transcendent Races that had 2 or 3 Classes under them.

While looking at the list, Shin tried to point out how many of them he had met so far. A moment later, he discovered that he already met six of them which were Faker, Charlotte, Immortal, Zero, Simba, and Siegfried.

All of these guys were strong on their own good, especially the latter four. And when he realized this, he couldn't help but shake his head and muttered himself. "Looks like there are still a lot of strong players out there. I wonder how strong they are."

After that, Shin went to the bed in the room and lie down on it, trying to have some rest for as much as he could. His virtual body might have an inexhaustible stamina, but his mind could still feel some mental fatigue. With all of these, he still needed to get some rest so that he could regain his peak condition.

Shin spent all of the remaining time resting on his bed while waiting for the system notification that would inform him about the start of the Shadow Ranking Cup. And after a few more hours, the long-awaited nonfiction finally arrived.

He opened his eyes and stood from the bed before forming a huge grin with his lips. "Alright, let's see who are the strong guys that I am going to meet this time. I hope that are as good as Arthur had said."
