"The Assassin's Blade."
Yami clicked the symbol, and a purple light engulfed his vision. A new screen appeared with the Assassin's logo at the top with three categories below. He clicked each one to read the description to avoid making mistakes.
[PURE ASSASSINS ARE FULL ASSASSIN SKILLS WITH NO OTHER ROLE INCLUDED.]
[PRIMARY ASSASSINS ARE SKILLS THAT CAN BE USED FOR A DIFFERENT PURPOSE.]
[SECONDARY ASSASSINS ARE SKILLS USED IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN AN ASSASSIN'S MAIN PURPOSE, THESE SKILLS ARE HALF-ASSASSIN TYPE.]
"Interesting, I'd better go with this one," Yami smirked as he clicked the Pure Assassin's category.
A holographic roulette wheel appeared ahead of Yami with twelve numbers placed inside.
"Woah!" Yami examined the hologram; he extended his hand and touched the wheel when his hand went through. He looked around to see if there were people nearby and wondered if they could see the roulette beside him.
Then a single tiny ball emerged at the center of the wheel and floated in the air, waiting for Yami.
[THROW THE BALL INTO THE ROULETTE WHEEL TO OBTAIN A PURE ASSASSIN SOUL.]
Yami didn't waste any time. He grabbed and threw the ball onto the roulette and hoped that he would get something valuable for him.
'Why can't the system let me choose a soul instead,' Yami thought in annoyance while he looked at the ball spinning around the roulette. The tension increased at each spin as Yami had a cold sweat running on his forehead.
The ball rolled over to the numbers multiple times before stopping at a certain number.
[NUMBER 8 HAS BEEN OBTAINED. WOULD YOU LIKE TO OPEN THE SOUL?]
Yami accepted the Soul with excitement running through his veins to know what he had gotten.
[CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE OBTAINED SOUL 'NIGHTSHADOW']
An information tab appeared, which showed the attributes of the Soul.

Yami turned his attention to the screen and saw newer icons added to his side vision. These are the three skills in the form of three circles aligned with one another.
Yami clicked the first skill, and a description box appeared.
[SHADOW SHIFT]

"This is good," Yami nodded his head in satisfaction after reading about the 1st skill. That made him thrilled to unlock the remaining skills to wield during the next combat against the Soul Beasts.
Yami proceeded to inspect the 2nd skill when a message appeared.
[SOUL NIGHTSHADOW'S SKILL 2 WILL BE UNLOCKED AFTER THE PLAYER REACHES LEVEL 5.]
Yami swiped the screen away and looked at his status. That was when he realized that he leveled up after completing several quests.
"Already at level 3, not bad," Yami stated with a smile. His other stats increased as well, making his character more potent. "This means that the locked skills will open every time I level up."
Yami watched as the hologram vanished, and everything came back to normal. He stood up and stretched his body, and that was when he noticed that his soul ring had a purple line in the middle, which wasn't there before.
"Is this because of the Soul Class I have attained?"
Yami nodded his head with delight since that purple line showed that he was getting stronger each day.
"Suyin, I will find you!" Yami stated with determination when a yawn escaped his mouth. It was already 10:30 in the evening, and he was getting sleepy.
Yami patted his cheeks to woke himself. He lifted his body since sitting for long made him more drowsy. Yami decided to go outside the house for some fresh air and ate the melon bread Mei gave him.
"Delicious." Yami commented as he took a bite of the bread. He wanted to enjoy his time, but the scenery was just off to feel relaxed.
He could not help but wonder what had happened before for houses to be so broken and unlivable. Those questions kept repeating in his mind and making him more tired than usual.
The forbidden area had several poles with lights and speakers to broadcast the portal's emergence in the area. The evidence of constant war against Soul Beast was visible in the cracks on the ground and wrecked houses that continued to disintegrate.
"I should have asked Shun about the history of this world earlier," Yami stated with a sigh.
Yami's mind went about Suyin's letters that were sent to him. He imagined his cute little sister fighting off those nasty soul beast, and that thought brought pain into his chest, and anger rose with the idea of her getting wounded after the fight.
Yami clenched his fist as he tried to control his emotions and cleared his mind from pondering over negative thoughts.
"Don't worry, Suyin, your brother, will save you," Yami muttered as he looked at the dark sky. The moon shined so bright, making him yawn again.
Yami came back inside the house with tired eyes. He looked for some old mattresses, and cloth's to sleep with. Seeing that there was not much privacy in the place he was in. Yami went to find a decent site that could hide his body if ever a combatant arrived in the area.
Yami made himself comfortable as he closed his eyes and sleep consumed his body.
[ARTIFICIAL BODY IS NOW OFFLINE.]
