The virtual screen then vanished.
"What are fiend points ? And masked assassination, what does it imply ?? " Kei asked .
" It implies that you will receive bonus fiend points if you can perform these assassinations without being undetected and your identity remaining unknown. As for fiend points I will tell you about it later, now is not the right time " Epoch replied .
"Just tell me one thing , why do all the rakshasas look more like humans if we are fiends ?" the question had suddenly popped in Kei's head, and he enquired .
" As I said earlier, rakshasa's are low level fiends. They possess the same vices as are present in humans . In this universe , Abyss , vices and evil deeds define shape and appearance of its denizens . Since , rakshasa possess vices tantamount to vices present in humans they look partly like humans but only in facial shape and body structure .
Rakshasa would commit greater evils and vices soon lose their human resemblance . " Epoch answered and then immediately said "Time is running , you should get to work , these questions can come later . "
"Ok, then show me the attribute interface you said earlier " Kei said . Immediately another virtual screen appeared before Kei .
"I have also gamified your health and stamina on the interface "Epoch said

The virtual screen remained open before Kei as he read the contents .
"As I said ,you can use your thrill points to increase your attribute points or purchase any manuals . You can also store the thrill points until they reach 5 to automatically level up and then use them. Tell me what you decide when you are ready. " Epoch's voice sounded .
"How do I learn from these skill manuals, by reading ? " Kei asked .
"Not only by reading but through practice and see training vids. I will share training vids and you can practice here inside the Mind Palace . I will then make simulation scenario's here in the mind place and test and asses what you have learnt until you perfect these arts ." Epoch replied .
"What about the dissection arts manual ? Tell me about it " Kei asked .
" It will help you to identify vulnerable points and nerve points in any enemy. But you will require dead bodies to dissect them in order to learn more about the vulnerability of enemies . For instance , if you dissect any rakshasa body you will know the weak nerve points in any rakshasa's , you can use this knowledge to kill any enemy rakshasa and also to protect your vulnerable points from harm. This art combined with the Angam art will allow you to cause serious injury in opponents ,sometimes killing them instantly or sometimes causing a timed death as per your fancy. Epoch replied.
"Ok, I have made my choice , I will give my 2 thrill points in exchange for one point increase in deftness and for stealth arts manual. " Kei announced.
"Done ! Shall I begin the stealth arts training videos ?" Epoch asked .
" Yes , lets do this " Kei replied
