Rein was a notorious hitman working for a mysterious agency under the alias 'Agent X'. He was known to be the most dangerous hitman the world has ever seen, with an almost perfect record. It was said that no target had ever escaped his grasp, making him a monster that every notable figure in the world feared.

Until, one day, and seemingly out of nowhere, the world shifted completely as humans started turning into flesh-eating monsters, and all the living creatures in the world became terrifying monsters. Cities burned down, and countless people died.

However, unbeknownst to Rein, this was but the start of his journey. From a normal human to the pinnacle of power.

[Your body has entered the Evolution cycle.]

[You have been granted the blessing of Essence.]

[You have killed a Level 1 Undead.]

Rein used the last rune and checked the skill.


[Description: You are able to condense energy within a single point of your body and unleash it in one second as an energy attack that deals devastating damage. Requires Life Essence to activate.]


"Hmmm, this one is quite interesting." Rein rubbed his chin as he read the description. 'It reminds me of Fortified Fist, but it sounds way more versatile and stronger. It would also fit perfectly with the amount of Life Essence I have. If I condense energy anywhere I want and unleash it… That would definitely deal a deadly blow.'


Rein could already see how he could use it with Fortified Fist and his sword to create a brutal arsenal of weapons almost impossible to predict or counter properly. Each skill complemented the other and gave him an advantage in any fight he got into.
