There were so many things to do that I just didn't know where to start, so I pondered for a minute and thought it would be best to check my status to see the changes.

[HP: 650/920]

[MP:500/800]

[Profession: Monster Swordsman].

[Active Skills: Focused Slash - Seal Monster - Possession - The monster's arrival ] (There is currently a skill on standby!)

[Passive Abilities: Cold Mind - Monstruario].

[Mascot: Floral Hedgehog]

[Titles: Novice Herb Seeker - Ruthless - Crafty Dog - Provocateur - Monster Man].

[Current purse: 101-08-40-99]

Not only did I get a new profession, skills, and a degree, but my stats also increased significantly. Now, let's see what it says about my profession.

[Monster Swordsman]

[Description: Monster swordsmanship is a profession in which the individual seals and monsters to gain access to greater power. In doing so, the swordsman's mind will gradually erode into a being that seeks only destruction. It is recommended to have a high mental power before switching to this profession].

[Characteristics: HP/MP/Stamina +250, Strength/Skill/Agility/Intelligence +30]

When I read this, I realized the danger of this profession. There are no perfect professions; all have their weaknesses. In this case, the user's mind is gradually decaying like in those anime or manga where a character can get more power if you use your life as payment. "Greater Power - Greater Risk."

But that doesn't apply to me because my mind statistics are simply infinite, so I don't worry about it in the least. Now let's move on to the next point: The changes in the "Seal Monster" and "Possession" skills.

[Special Ability: Seal Monster]

[You can use your sword to seal monsters (20% chance)].

[Each Monster occupies one sword (4/7)].

[If the sword used as a medium is not strong enough, the Monster will escape and attack you].

[The stronger the Monster, the less likely you are to seal it].

[Cost: 100 MP]

[Cooling: 1 minute]

[Special Ability: Possession "Rank D”]

[You allow your weapon to be able to possess you in exchange for using its power].

[You may only possess one weapon].

[Your "Mind" statistic must be high to avoid being controlled].

[If the weapon is broken or disabled, the ability is automatically canceled].

[The more you use this ability, the longer the Possession will last].

[Cost: 200 MP]

[Duration: 20 Minutes]

[Cooling 30 Minutes]

The changes are both good and bad, "Seal Monster" now has a 10% chance of sealing a monster but is now limited to only 7 swords, plus I have to wait 1 minute to use it again.

"Possession" now has a duration of 20 minutes. If we consider that when I learned, it lasted 10 minutes, that means that for each rank, it increases by 5 minutes. Another significant change is the sentence, "Allow your weapon to possess you."

This simple phrase prevents me from using objects sealed with different types of beings that I do not know. Its cost has increased from 150 to 200 MP.

Now let's look at the new skills to see what they do.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

[Special Ability: The Monster's arrival].

[For a limited time, free the Monster sealed in your sword].

[The released Monster will follow all your orders except those that involve its death]

[The stronger the Monster, the less time it will be released].

[If your mind statistics are low, you may end up under the control of such a monster].

[During the use of "The monster's arrival," the sword you used as a medium cannot be used for the duration of this ability].

[Cost: 1000 MP]

[Duration: 5 Minutes]

[Cooling 30 Days]

[BUFF Ability: Polymerization].

[Fuse two monster swords to obtain a more powerful sword].

[The fused sword cannot be possessed].

[If the sword breaks, you will face the sealed monsters in both weights but fused together].

[Can be used in conjunction with "The monster's arrival"].

[Cost: 500 MP]

[Duration: 10 Minutes]

[Cooling: 60 Minutes]

* ... Am I hallucinating?

These abilities are terrifying, "The monster's arrival" allows me to summon a sealed monster to help me in the battle for 5 minutes. Although this time may vary depending on the power of the Monster, the fact that I can summon Ysiti to fight by my side is simply amazing. The bad thing is that it costs 1000 mana, and I have to wait 30 days to summon it again.

As for "Polymerization," one might think that it is not very powerful, but the fact that it can be used with the "Monster Arrival" skill gives it a new 180-degree twist. Can you imagine fusing two monster swords whose sealed monsters are of SSS rank and then releasing them to help you in battle?! You could cause a disaster of biblical proportions!

But there is a problem, if I learn this skill, I would have to delete "Focused Slash" since the other skills like "Seal Monster" and "Possession" are needed. I thought I could leave it on standby, and when I seal 7 SSS rank monsters, I could delete "Seal Monster" and replace it with "Polymerization." Still, there is a time limit on how long this skill can be on standby. In this case, it is 7 days from now.

As much as it pains me, I must let go of this skill and keep "Focused Slash" because it can evolve, and I need a technique that allows me to kill my opponents when I can't. Possession, so I must let this go.

[The "Polymerization" skill has been removed].

Now it's time to see the passive ability: Monstruario.

[Monstruario]

[Description: When visualizing a monster, you will have a detailed description of it].

I only doubt whether I can use this passive to see the invisible monsters. If so, I could avoid ambushes and know the abilities of the monsters. It's like a Pokedex but with monsters. If so, I could avoid ambushes and know the monsters' skills. It's like a Pokedex but of monsters.

Now we just need to see the title I just got. Let's hope this time I don't get insulted or anything.

[Title: Monster Man]

[Description: You faced a monster with the ability to destroy a continent with your bare fists 1vs1 and lived to tell the tale. Chuck Norris considers you fit to be his steward]

[Effect: Your flesh, skin, and organs have the same physique as monsters, but your mind and soul remain that of a human].

Leaving aside the description, are you really telling me that now my physique is comparable to that of monsters? It's hard to believe since I don't feel that my skin is equal to that of the monsters. Maybe you mean that now standard weapons can't hurt me easily. In any case, this adds an extra defense, so I won't complain about it.

Now that I have checked all the notifications, I just need to see Ysiti's active and passive skills, but before that, I have to talk to Hakoon and tell him I'm done.

As Marco goes up the stairs to talk to Hakoon, he is talking to his wife to calm her down and not worry. He even gave her Kawaii momentarily so that she would have something to calm down, which worked a little. However, he was also worried. He didn't think that Marco would revive a monster and that it could emit such a terrifying aura.

He also wondered where he had gotten it from. Still, he couldn't ask him that since he couldn't pry into the secrets of his clients, especially someone who gave him such valuable material as the A-Z ingots.

While she was thinking about it, the door of her workshop opened, and out of it appeared the person responsible for her heart being on a constant journey of emotions.

* Hi Hakoon, sorry for the wait. It took longer than I thought.

* Hakoon: Never mind, never mind.

When they see Marco again, Hakoon, his wife, and Kawaii feel that he has changed; however, they cannot say exactly what kind of change he has undergone.

* Hakoon: This... what happened to that "monster"?

* I just sealed it, but there were some complications. I also took some of your MP bottles. I hope you forgive me.

* Hakoon: Never mind, in any case, can I see your sword?

* Sure, but this one underwent a change.

* Hakoon: What do you mean?

At that, I pull out "Ysiti" for Hakoon to see. She shows a surprised expression as she sees how the katana-shaped sword changed drastically and became a cutlass-shaped sword. Still, she also noticed that this sword now had a "soul" inside it.

Hakoon reached out his hand to take the cutlass to take a closer look. Still, the moment he took the sword, he felt as if he had been transported to a dark world where time and space do not exist. Suddenly he felt as if the hairs on his whole body rose suddenly. In contrast, his body expelled huge amounts of sweat as a defense mechanism. Without knowing what happened, he began to look in all directions, until suddenly his eyes noticed something that left him frozen.

In the distance, he saw how a strange quadruped creature of 10 meters high, similar to a bear but with a demonic aspect, was observing him as if he was an unwanted guest. Still, without emitting a single sound, it only looked at him with its spectral red and crimson, blue eyes without making a single movement.

But that intense gaze caused him a sinister and uncomfortable feeling.

Moreover, the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Even though that creature did not make a single sound, he had the strange sensation that it was getting closer and closer.

Just when he didn't know what to do, suddenly and without warning, he came back to reality and saw how his wife and Marco were looking at him with concern. Then he saw that he had received a notification and opened it quickly.

[The Devourer of Life - Ysiti" refuses to be in your hands.]

[You are under the "Ysiti Test" effect].

[You have failed the "Ysiti Test" - Your mind returns to normal].

After hakoon saw these notifications, he understood that what he had just experienced was nothing more than a test performed by Marco's sword.

Still, he did not know what was haunting him in the shadows. He also wondered where Marco had gotten this terrifying being from.

* Dear, talk to me!

* Hakoon: I'm sorry, Nanna, what happened?

* Nanna: When you touched the sword, you were static for a moment, and then you started shaking and sweating. We didn't know what was happening to you!

* Mr. Hakoon, do you know what happened?

* Hakoon: *sigh* Apparently, your sword tested me, and I failed... but it doesn't matter since I'm not hurt.

Hearing this, Nanna and Marco were relieved, especially Marco, as he feared that his new sword, "Ysiti," would accidentally kill Hakoon. If that were to happen, he could not forgive himself, for after learning about the dangers of death, he realized that he must be very careful.
