Before he pulled his consciousness out of the storage, he took out some soul beast cores out with him. When he returned back to his body, he found five soul beast cores in his hands. The cores glowed a beautiful ocean blue and pulsated with energy that threatened to burst. Keith brought one core to his chest and soon it vanished out of sight seemingly being absorbed by his body.
[+20 soul fragments]
In this world, dragons and onis who awaken classes also have a system. With this system also comes the opportunity to level up and grow stronger. With each level up, the system adds one stat point to each of the stats and awards them with three unassigned stat points which they can use however they wished. For those who tread on the soul path like Keith, Merlin and Kayla, they need soul fragments in order for them to advance.
They can only obtain soul fragments through the absorption of soul beast cores. These cores are extracted from soul beasts that are slain by the soul fighter (The term that for the individuals who tread on the soul path).
He took another core and brought it to his chest and it dissolved into his body. a similar status panel appeared right in front of him.
[+20 Soul fragments]
[Level up!!]
"Status," he muttered and his blue transparent screen appeared right before his eyes.

Keith gazed at Merlin who seemed to be snoring. He shook Merlin's body hoping to wake him up but he didn't wake up from his slumber. He looked over to Kayla who was also sleeping too. He couldn't help but sigh. "I guess there are tired. I guess I will ask Merlin's undead about this new world tomorrow."
Keith decided to distribute his unassigned stat points.
[Body-7(10]
[Mind-8(11]
After distributing his stats points, his body felt lighter and mind and sense felt sharper. He stood up and walked towards a tree. He got into a battle stance. He put one foot in front of the other. He took in a deep breath and he punched out. His fist travelled through the air with an incredible speed and dealt a blow to the tree trunk.
The blow dealt to the tree trunk destroyed the entire tree. Splinters and pieces of wood flew through the air and scattered around the place. Keith wasn't shocked at his explosive strength, he expected because from his past life the same thing happened to him. He looked at his fist with a cold glint in his eyes and muttered something under his breath:
"I need more strength."

It was dawn of a new day. The sun rays against his skin woke Keith up from his slumber. He stood up and gazed at his friends. There were both still sound asleep. Keith took one of the burgers from the plastic bags and ate it greedily.
After he finished eating his food, he took out his two relics and started training. He held the sword in his hands and swung them a few times just to get accustomed with their weight. At first his footing felt wrong and he stabbed himself with the blade a few times with the blade due to his clumsiness but gradually overtime.
His movement began to be more refined and fluid. Each swing of his swords carried tons of strength and force. The fighting style he was practicing is a fighting style known for its agile and swift movements and each strike lethal and precise. His eyes caught two leaves falling from the trees and each one was in different directions.
He swords whistled through the air, both swords meeting its mark, slicing the leaves in half. Just as he slashed the two leaves in half both Merlin and Kayla woke up from their slumber. Keith noticed them waking up from their slumber and said in a playful tone:
"Welcome back to the land of the living sleepy heads."
"Good morning, Keith," both of them said whilst rubbing their eyes.
"Merlin. May you please summon Caster and ask her more questions about this world."
"Alright," Merlin said as he muttered the word 'rise'. A female's body dragged itself out of Merlin's shadow. Shadows wrapped around her figure and now she was fully clothed.
"Mind if I ask why, you summoned this humble servant," she asked as she bowed down to him.
"We want to know more about this world. Tell us how many paths are there. The ranks for both paths and the ranks of beasts and also if this place also has a tower,"
"There are only two paths. The soul path and the spirit path. Those who tread on the soul path are called soul fighter whilst those who tread on the spirit path are called spirit combatants. The duty of both factions is to conquer the soul rifts. There are seven known ranks on the soul path which are namely Acolyte, Warrior, Master, Grandmaster, Saint, Paragon and Sovereign. The ranks for spirit combatants are as follows: apprentice, novice, master, grandmaster, sage, paragon and Immortal. The ranking for soul beasts and spirit devourers is similar. They are Beast, Monster, Demon, Devil, Tyrant, Paragon and Cursed. I can answer your question about the tower. There is no tower in this universe but there is something else…"
