Four Split Personalities

When Motan logged in, he found himself in Med Leven’s house, everything around was exactly the same as before he was forcibly disconnected, except that it was now night.

This was expected. After all, there was no fire or explosion here, and considering Med’s less than twice a week appearances in town, it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to notice his unusual disappearance. This just goes to show, if you don’t want to get kidnapped without anyone realizing, it’s better to have a few close friends around. In the worst-case scenario, try owing someone some money.

Motan casually sat down against the wall. The first thing he did was bring up his character panel and continued to check the items that he didn’t have time to review last time. Of course, he had already collected the rewards for the tutorial quest and successfully obtained the basic Thief profession along with corresponding 60 experience points.

So ...

[Tan Mo]

Faction: Chaotic Neutral

Profession: Fraud level 2 (77/150); Thief level 1 (60/70)

Faith: None

Health Points: 170/170

Stamina Points: 140/140

Clarity Points: 310/310

Talents: Chaos, Cunning, Sophistry, Infidel (You can’t choose a faith. Because you simply cannot revere any higher being. No preacher will waste time on you! None!)

Basic Attributes: Strength 4, Agility 11, Wisdom 11, Constitution 7

Civilization Attributes: Eloquence 10, Charm 10, Knowledge 9, Leadership 4

Combat Attributes: Cunning School level 6

Skills: Confusion, Deceive, Stealth, Steal, Throat Cut

Considering it would be too time-consuming to describe each skill in detail, a specific explanation will not be given in the text before the first use of each skill, for which your understanding is appreciated.

The conversion ratio for Constitution is just as I thought," Motan murmured to himself as he examined his character panel. "Every level of the Thief profession adds one point to both Constitution and Agility, while the Fraud profession adds one point each to Agility, Constitution, and Wisdom. Both raise my Cunning School level...the latter even affects Civilization Attributes to some extent, hmm..."

He pondered for a moment before using the bonus experience rewarded for completing the tutorial mission on the Thief profession, turning it into a level 2 Thief (140/150). He then stood up, stretched lazily, and began to rummage through Med’s cabin.

For a corpse, earthly possessions were entirely unnecessary. It’s better to benefit his descendants or the common people, while things like wedding rings that held sentimental value or spiritual importance weren’t counted as earthly possessions. So, with that in mind, Motan didn’t feel any guilt about looting the house, nor did he regret burying those high-quality rings earlier...

Either it was pure luck, or Med was quite wealthy. The loot that Tan Mo swiped showed a world of difference compared to a few shoddy potions that had required much effort to acquire when he was Hei Fan.

The consumable items included: Initial Life Potion*4, Intermediate Mana Potion*2, Gargoyle Regent*1, Random Teleportation Scroll*2, God’s Grace Scroll*2, a Spirit Summoning Vase, two bags of finely ground bone ash, and an ancient book.

As for the equipment, there was a ceremonial robe, a pair of cloth bracers, and a Blood Sacrifice Dagger.

When he put on the first two items, Tan Mo’s defensive power and his intelligence increased by 1 point. The last weapon had an average quality but suited the Thief profession perfectly.

[Blood Sacrifice Dagger]

Weapon Type: Single Hand

Quality: Normal

Attack: Weak

Attribute: None

Equipment Requirement: None

[Note: If you’re willing, we can teach you more than seventy ways of hurting yourself, and we promise... What? Did you say you want to use it to hack someone? Alright then, just remember to close the door on your way out.]

"Honestly," Motan sighed as he fastened the dagger to his waist, "if someone could give me a complete compendium of all the game’s equipment, I would probably spend a whole day quietly reading it to enhance my knowledge. Now, let’s see what we have here..."

He opened the only book he hadn’t stashed in his bag and immediately found exactly what he had been hoping for.

[Introductory Necromancy Knowledge]

Use: Gives you the profession: Primary Necromancer

[Note: You shouldn’t hold high expectations for this book. Please, there’s no way we could really include something like Channeling in here. Long live understanding, okay?]

"Alright. Long live understanding." Motan laughed, casually putting the book into his bag. But he didn’t immediately learn another profession, as we might expect.

He had calculated immediately that at this early ’newbie’ stage, learning the controversial profession of Necromancy would be more harmful than beneficial. Aside from the potential decrease in Constitution and Strength attributes, just the sensitives religious people alone were enough to tie him to the stake to have a half-day barbecue. He wasn’t Med Leven, and his Infidel talent had already ruled out the possibility of him secretly learning Holy Light knowledge to conceal his other professions.

So, he wouldn’t learn it!

At least not now!

Leaving the cabin, Tan Mo stretched pleasantly in the cool evening breeze before putting on the hood of his ceremonial robe and walking away from Maple Sugar Town without even looking back. He was well aware that this peaceful rural town was not the right place for him to settle down, nor could it bring him the happiness he desired. Moreover...
