As the white light that covered him fades away, a horizontal slashing sword coming towards his neck which he easily avoided it with a duck and side steps to left to dodge the upward sword's strike.
"Hoh, seems like my first prey is a capable man eh?"
Kim Shin's assaulter said in amazement with a smirked after his attacks didn't even surprise or scratch Kim Shin.
Looking at his attacker, it was well-build dark brown man at his mid-prime of his age, with a look of a typical criminal because of those big scars on his flat nose and bushy left eyebrow. Dressed in black iron armor and armed with a one-handed long sword.
Kim Shin's already expected this so it doesn't surprise him at all. Since, there's already a lot of participants came before him. It will be natural to appeared with someone already camping for new comers like him.
So, his attacker's kind of tricks was a trick that could only be effective to kids.
"Hmm, silent type pokemo—"
The assaulter was about to comment at Kim Shin's quietness. However Kim Shin didn't give him more time. He quickly pushed his feet and pounced; instantly appeared before the man and with right punch to its face 'BOOM' the man with a criminal face blasted to pieces like a broken watermelon.
Thud! Clank!
"You talk too much…"
Ding!
[You've obtained 1 Killed Point]
And the System notified him that he gained one KP for killing the man as the man body fell on the ground followed up by clanking sound of the sword that also fell on the ground beside its dead owner.
Approaching the man body, Kim Shin suddenly realized that the man's body didn't gone like what always happened after killing a person in Dark Hyena Forest.
"That's right! I'm not in Dark Hyena Forest anymore. If that's the case…Hehehe"
Kim Shin broke into creepy smile as he laughed evilly with the thought of using his Class Specific Skill 'Soul Cleave'.
Then, Kim Shin stretched his right hand on the deceased body of the man.
"Soul Cleave!"
As he activated the skill that symbolizing of him as a death priest, a dark violet aura appeared on his right hand. At first the dark violet aura did only covered his right hands. However, after few seconds it jumped on the man as it covered the man's whole body.
Kim Shin watched it intently and focused, since it's the first time he used this skill.
Shua! Shua!
A small round black light appeared out of the man's body and flashed, piercing Kim Shin's temple that surprised him.
'Ugh!'
He couldn't stop himself but wince in pain that quickly fades away.
"Huh?"
Kim Shin made a confused expression. He doesn't feel anything new.
"Did I fail?"
He questioned himself as he looked at the Mortiss pendant on his chest. When the black light pierced his temple he felt a throbbing pain that quickly disappeared after he felt a warm feeling from the Mortiss Pendant.
'Seems that black light was the negative energy of the man which sucked by the pendant.'

Checking the pendant he saw that there's already one accumulated negative emotion listed on it.
"So I succeeded, but I failed to get any knowledge or skill about the man?"
So, Kim Shin opened his System and look for his current stats. Since, he also have a passive class-specific skills that every time he soul cleaved a deceased body of human or monsters he will get additional 0.1 to all his base stats.

And there he found the additional .1 to his base stats. Although it was only a little add to his stats, this little value will be significant sooner or later.
And he still have 12 free allocation points after he leveled up twice after killing Herculean Undead Minotaur and another 2 level after killing Jade Clam Venomous Snake.

Then, after he checked and fixed his stats, Kim Shin finally got to look around his surroundings the place was also lighted by torch on the dark green polished wall. He was in a wide square room with a door at the distance opposite of him.
After checking the surroundings, Kim Shin didn't forget to pick everything the man had in his body.
A black iron armor which no use for him and a one-handed steel long sword.
Putting away the black iron armor, he then appraised the long sword
[Steel longsword]

Additional + 2 Strength
"Haist. Trash weapon."
Kim Shin sighed in disappointment after he saw the information of the longs word. However, he still equipped it. Since he don't have a weapon to use after his black iron sword got broken in half when he fought Bradley.
It's true that he have a battle ax but it's more comfortable to fight with a sword.
After equipping the sword, Kim Shin finally walked out of the room. However as he just left the door, a sharp wind sped through him that he cut by vertical slashed of his sword.
"Tsk."
Tap! Tap!
A sound of clicking tongue could be heard after Kim Shin cut the sharp wind in half and hurried footsteps resound.
Looking at the direction where the wind came from, Kim Shin found a running person clad in a robe, seems like distancing itself from Kim Shin. However, contrast to his assaulter's imagination; Kim Shin instantly appeared at his back with quick dash and with a 'Puchi' sound he pierced the back of the person in robe that also pierced the person's heart.
"Ugh"
Fresh blood drooled out of the person's mouth as it groaned in pain and slowly fell, face on the ground.
Ding!
[You've obtained 1 Killed Point]
He gained another KP after killing.
"Eight more, but I don't know yet the path to 2nd Floor."
Kim Shin murmured as he was about to turn the body of the person he just killed since he was curious at his attacker. However a swift arrow was coming toward his back, so without hesitation he activated his Pseudo Dragon body and caught the flying arrow.
"What?!"
A voice of man uttered in shocked as he witnessed Kim Shin catching his quick arrow.
