"System, show me my status" I spoke with confidence.

The status panel is split into 4 different parts: General status, Energy like Mana or Aura, Attributes, and Skills which are split into Unique, Active, and Passive.
"Show me my Unique Skill" I told the system
-----
Soul Reflection (EX)
Karma: -53
Your skills and abilities reflect the essence of your soul. To use this skill you must gain Karma be it Negative or Positive and spend 10 Karma to gain a random Attribute Point or 100 Karma to gain a random Active or Passive Skill depending on which type of Karma you use.
Most actions have a Karma price associated with them like giving a dollar to a beggar will earn you 1 positive Karma while stealing the money from the same beggar will earn you -10 Karma.
-----
It seems my Karma from my old life carried over from my previous life which is useful and while I could use it all to add to my Attributes, I'd rather save up for a skill since it might be more useful.
After a few more twists and turns the glowing moss begins to become less prevalent and the tunnel I'm walking down becomes darker and darker so I stay close to the wall so I don't run into anything.
Soon enough upon taking a turn I began to see a light at the end of the tunnel and began to walk a bit faster, eager to breathe in the fresh air.
I reach the end and squint on instinct as I'm hit with the light and blink a few times to clear my vision. I find myself met with soft mossy ground on my bare feet, a stark contrast to the cold stone I felt before and I'm surrounded by dense trees and other flora.
"System, can you show me the way to the nearest piece of civilization?" I asked
A blue string shoots from my chest and curves around trees and above it is a panel.
-----
Nearest village in 1.5 miles
----
As I walked, following the blue string, I began to ask the System some questions "System, can you tell me the full extent of your abilities?" I asked.
-----
The System was made with utility in mind but not in a way that'll stunt your growth. The System has three main functions: Status, Map, Inventory, and Analyze features. The Status feature shows you your progress and strength as well as physical and mental state, the Map feature which you are using now can show you a map of the general area which includes 5 square miles or places you've already visited and can show you the fastest route to a location you've pinned, the Inventory feature is an interdimensional space where you can store any non-living item, and finally the Analyze feature can be used to Analyze any living or non-living thing to give you in depth information about the target.
The System can also answer questions about how the world works but cannot give you in depth information on certain things like fighting techniques or spell casting methods.
-----
"Ok, so System, tell me what energy I need to make the most negative Karma"
-----
The System cannot give specific information about Karma amounts.
-----
"Ok... then what energy would be the best for me to use?"
-----
The System recommends the use of both Hex Energy and Death Energy. Hex Energy is used by Witches to cast spells, rituals, and create magical objects and is gained through a ritual to connect with the Allmother. Death Energy is used by Necromancers to cast spells, rituals, and raise the dead and is gained through gathering Death Energy from corpses or places of death.
-----
"Ok, can you tell me what this ritual to connect with the Allmother is?"
-----
The System cannot share specifics on the ritual to connect with the Allmother, you must find a witch and convince them to share the ritual with you.
-----
"Ok, is there a witch nearby?" I stop walking.
-----
Yes, would you like to change your pathfinding to the witch?
-----
"Yes" I said and the blue string changed directions to my left.
-----
Witch in 2.3 Miles
-----
A smile crossed my face and I began walking in the direction of the witch.
