Blah - just normal words, what you would expect.
Blah - Italics is for whatever is going on in the characters mind, their inner thoughts.
Blah - Bold is for anything status, skills, class related
Blah - When a character thinks of a skill
This story will follow a traditional level up route with a hopefully creative story, I have many ideas which would quite frankly look incredible in a webtoon or anime, so it will be hard for me to put it into words.
The MC will seem bland and boring in the beginning, that's because he is. He will develop as the story progresses.
The side characters will each have their own goals, purposes, backstories and won't just be lost puppies for the MC to collect.
There will be romance, but no harem. Every girl the MC meets won't just fall in love with him.
If you notice any spelling errors or plot holes I missed, please let me know.
Thank you for reading.

C-Rank Soul Core
Class: Statshifting Soulcerist of Change (Legendary): What do you get when you cross a brand new class, an extinct class and an imprisoned God? Nothing good. By bringing together various different aspects, this class has been created. This class will offer the user a medium boost to the acts of Statshifting and Soulcery, improving their proficiency while simultaneously reinforcing their soul. The user will be able to tamper with souls easier than the average being, making this the perfect class for modifying souls. This class grants +5 to all stats and +35 unasigned stat points per level.
Bloodline: 80% Human. 30% Kaiser of Souls.
80% Human: Extremely malleable race. Flexible in all classes and stats. Provides 2 unasigned stat points per level instead of assigned stat points
30% Kaiser of Souls: Your soul has been tugged on by the strings of fate, reinforcing it and granting it unknown power. With every increase in rank, you shall obtain new knowledge. You gain an in depth amount of knowledge to the working of souls that can be applied in various different areas of expertise. You gain a 30% boost to all soul related abilities.
Innate ability: Will of the Kaiser- Impose your will onto other sentient beings below your level or up to 10 levels above you depending on your Luck stat. No one should be able to disobey your commands, not even your enemies.
Allows the user to harness otherworldly creatures temporarily in exchange for Mana. Mana expenditure rate is based on the power of the creature who's power you're borrowing. The user is able to take the form of the creature who's power they are borrowing if they choose to. If the creature the user tries to fuse with is a contracted familiar, the user will also gain the skills of their familiar. Even creatures cannot resist the tyrannical power of the Kaiser.

Contract of Artemis (Rare): Allows the user to create a contract with a non humanoid creature within 15 levels of them. Any XP the creature earns, so will the master. The contracted creature will have an added bonus of 10% of each of the masters stats.
Soul Sense (Rare): A soul is one's being, peering at one's soul could definitely be considered perverted. Allows the user to perceive the souls of sentient beings. The user is able to perceive the Stat Sparks, an original concept created by the progenitor of Statshifting, and level of the beings who's soul they attempt to perceive. There is no limit for the act of perceiving souls, but the difficulty of viewing the beings level and Stat Sparks relies on the strength of the users own soul.
Soul Inferno (Rare): Blessed by the Remnant of Ash, the ember inside your soul has evolved into a beautiful and fiery inferno. The strength and resilience of your flames have been amplified massively. Your flames are immune to any impact of Water type Mana. Your flames can be separated from your body and are no longer bound by a distance limit, however, the further they are from you, the weaker they become. Your flames can be used to coat items, strengthening different aspects of them. User now has even more control of the abilities of their flames. May your Soul Hearth continue to prosper (increases all stats by 450, 575 when desparate, or by whatever Kai chooses)
Soul Link (Rare): Souls are one's true being, linking them together could almost be seen as intimate. Allows the user to tether their soul to another being that possesses a soul. The user can then share stats or skills with the one they are tethered to. Any skill or stats can only be possessed by one party. Severing the tether requires temporarily weakening your soul.
Soulcery (Epic): Every journey begins with a single being, yet can be influenced by those around them. Allows the user to passively influence the souls of those around them.

User is able to manipulate certain aspects of souls that can grow as the users proficiency and skill improves. Grants the user a small boost with anything to do with their own soul.
Ignition (Unique): This skill relies on the users original concept of Stat Sparks. The user is able to ignite the potential of any of their stat sparks, fuelling its potential and amplifying the effected stat massively. However, after the user decides to let the ignited spark run out, the ignited stat will suffer a penalty depending on how long the stat was ignited.
Adept Internal Mana Manipulation (Rare): Passively boosts the user's control of Internal Mana
Presets (Rare): Allows the user to switch their stats on the go to a pre created preset. Despite the rarity, this skill has the potential to become a Unique Skill. There is a 5 minute cooldown between switching each Preset. Presets can be deleted. The user can name their Presets.
2/3 Presets created. (Pitch Perfect = Equal. Kaiser = Normal.)
Significant Soul Mana Affinity (Epic): Increases the user's affinity with Soul based Mana.
Mana Surge (Epic): Allows the user to infuse their body with Mana, boosting any aspect of their body they wish. However, infusing your body for two long could cause unforseen side effects.
Soul Memorial (Legendary): In the end, death accepts everyone into their embrace. Allows the user to peer into the memories of beings they kill. The limit of this skill relies entirely on the strength of the user's own soul. When peering into a dead beings soul, there is a chance that the user may absorb some of their qualities, stats, skills or fighting styles.
