I woke up to that system message. I noticed the cleansing fire around my bed was fixing broken bones and muscle sprains, and burning enemies who came close. Shadowy perfection was now increasing the size of my shadow, but I could make it smaller or make it disappear. I collected the drops of the monsters, but I found nothing interesting, until I found a power stone, and I absorbed it:
You have absorbed power stone of luck
You have unlocked soul stone of omen power (perfect luck)
Class luck aid
Effect (copper)
Makes your luck perfect, unless you have an effect that gives you bad luck, or are dealing with an enemy of a higher category
Won’t be good until I get out, I thought. I asked Ordeath to do the next trial. He told me to get to a specific building. I started fighting my way there, getting a new power:
You have absorbed power stone of weaponry
You have unlocked soul stone of doom power (blade of death)
Class conjured weapon
Effect (copper)
Gives you a dagger, inflicting all your possible afflictions every hit
Cost: moderate smith mana
Incantation: Blade of one, arise

I started using the dagger. The jade-category ice king came, and I treid teleporting away. The Ice King was an elemental king and a jade-category gone astray. It was extremely worrying, so I summoned a bunch of daggers on the floor behind me to slow him down, but they did little but annoy him. He jumped over the daggers like a kangaroo and attacked with his sword of ice. The blow was so strong that the dagger was knocked out of my hand and froze. I summoned the cleansing fire and my cloak, because I had heard that he was weak to fire. Whenever he dealt a blow, I summoned a new one.

Not to mention all the different franchises and characters I am going to mention, I don't own a single one of these nor do I claim to by writing this, I just want people to have something to enjoy since I am drained on my other work.I hope you enjoy, and to say it right off the bat since this is something that upsets me, I don't mind if you're critical of the work, but jesus, don't be rude. I love criticism but I hate people that go and put a 1 star with no reason, but if you put 1 star and give me a good reason then I'll use it to grow as an author! Thanks everyone! Hope you enjoy the story!
