REINCARNATION PARADISE

[Contractor No. 13013. (For the protection of the Hunter, this is a fake number. No means can track the Hunter.)]

[Name: Su Xiao (Hunter)]

[Level: LV.2 (Tier 1) (Every 10 levels represent one tier. Leveling up does not provide any attribute bonuses but corresponds to the Hunter's permissions in the 'Reincarnation Paradise,' as well as world and mission difficulty).]

[Health: 100% (This attribute cannot be fully digitized and changes based on the level of injury).]

[Mana: 153 (Intelligence × 10; current mana recovery rate is 4 points per hour).]

[Strength: 12 (related to attack power, carrying capacity, etc.).] 

[Agility: 10 (related to movement and attack speed).] 

[Endurance: 6 (related to health, defense, and resistance to abnormal statuses).] 

[Intelligence: 12 (related to spell damage, mana, and perception).]

[Charm: 3 (related to social interactions and summoning).] 

[Luck: 1 (related to item drops, crafting, etc.; this attribute is very difficult to improve, so Hunters should cherish any opportunity to raise it).]

[(Note: The standard attribute value for an adult male is 5, with Luck being 1).]

[Slaughter Talent: Soul Devourer – After killing a target, the Hunter permanently absorbs 1 to 15 points of mana. The maximum mana that can be absorbed in each world is 100 points.]

After receiving the Inheritance of the [Shadow of Extinction], Su Xiao's stats underwent a massive transformation. 

His Strength rose from 7 points to 12 points.

Agility also saw a significant boost, going from 7 to 10 points.

Similarly, Intelligence increased from 6 to 12 points. 

The boost in Strength and Agility was immediately noticeable. 

Su Xiao tested a punch, and the sound of the wind being torn apart followed. The power behind his punch was far greater than before. 

He tried running a few steps forward, but quickly stopped, nearly crashing into a wall. His sudden speed increase caught him off guard. 

The surge in power made his heart race. 

If he had this level of power when he was in the One Piece world, assassinating the king would have been ridiculously easy. He wouldn't have needed three days—six hours would have been more than enough to complete the task. 

This... is what it feels like to be strong. The allure of power is so great that it seems worth risking one's life to pursue it. 

However, this sudden boost in his attributes required some time to adapt. If he were to fight now, he would be clumsy. 

But once he got used to his new stats, his combat abilities would reach an astonishing level. 

"Shadow of Extinction, huh? What an unexpected reward," Su Xiao muttered, satisfied. 

Just as he was about to close his personal info screen, he noticed that the skills section was flashing. 

Opening the skill panel, he found that it had changed significantly. A skill tree had appeared where there was previously nothing. 

A message from Reincarnation Paradise popped up: 

[Due to the Hunter obtaining the unique class, Shadow of Extinction, the skill list has been updated accordingly.]

[Shadow of Extinction (Unique)]

[Skill One: Azure Steel Shadow (LV.1) (Active Skill]

[Activation Conditions: After activating Azure Steel Shadow, the Hunter will consume 2 points of mana per minute. If mana drops below 1%, the skill will automatically deactivate.]

[Skill Effect: While Azure Steel Shadow is active, each melee attack will burn 10 points of the enemy's mana and deal the same amount in true damage. The enemy will also feel intense pain from the mana burn.]

---

[Skill Two: Sword Mastery (LV.1) (Passive Skill)]

[Skill Effect: Increases melee attack power by 10% and improves proficiency with sword-type weapons. (Note: Skill-based abilities have levels such as Basic, Proficient, Mastery, and Grandmaster. Higher levels offer greater growth potential. Mastery-level abilities are exceedingly rare).]

---

[Skill Three: Anti-Magic Body (LV. MAX)]

[Skill Effect: Unable to learn or use any magic-based skills.]

---

[Skill Four: Locked (Requires 1 Small Soul Crystal and 1000 Paradise Coins to unlock).]

---

Su Xiao now understood what he had gained: a complete class inheritance.

This class, Shadow of Extinction, seemed designed to counter magic users. 

When Azure Steel Shadow was activated, every melee strike would burn the enemy's mana. 

If a mage lost their mana, they'd be practically useless, reduced to hitting people with a staff. 

However, Su Xiao was confused about one thing—did magic users even exist in Reincarnation Paradise?

Despite the power boost and impressive skills, there was one downside: he could never learn magic-based skills. 

That wasn't something to worry about right now, though. He wasn't in a rush to unlock the fourth skill. For now, he wanted to explore Reincarnation Paradise itself. 

Opening the door to his room, the bustling sounds of people immediately filled the air. Reincarnation Paradise revealed itself to him. 

Buildings of all shapes and sizes filled his view—some made of metal, others of stone, and even a few that appeared to be alive, with their surfaces oozing liquids. 

These buildings formed streets lined with people dressed in all sorts of bizarre outfits. Some wore full suits of armor, while others held staves and wore robes, looking like stereotypical mages. 

Su Xiao felt like he had wandered into a cosplay convention, with all the strange outfits around him.

Some people were even sitting on the street, setting up little stalls to sell items. 

"White-tier weapon, 6 star-rated, 700 Paradise Coins! If you're broke, get lost!" 

"5% health recovery potion, 1000 Paradise Coins each! Buy three or more, get a discount!" 

"Looking for a powerful mage to protect me in the next world! My world difficulty is Lv.3, and I'm willing to pay well!" 

Hearing all this, Su Xiao began to suspect that most of these people came from the real world. 

Phrases like "broke" and "mage" weren't exactly common in the derivative worlds.

Su Xiao wandered around, taking in the sights, when a man in a suit, his face obscured by mist, called out to him. 

"Hey, brother, want to check out my goods? They're cheap. I'm about to head into a derivative world, and I need Paradise Coins to survive." 

Turning to look, Su Xiao found that even though the man's face wasn't covered, he couldn't see it clearly no matter how hard he tried. 

Curious, Su Xiao stopped by the man's stall. The items were laid out on a black cloth, with no fear of them being stolen. 

Su Xiao picked up one of the items and immediately understood why. 

[Beast Bone]

[Quality: White]

[Type: Material]

[Rating: 1 (Note: White-tier materials are rated between 1 and 10. The higher the rating, the rarer the material).]

[Description: The bones of an ordinary beast.] 

[This item belongs to someone else and cannot be taken more than a meter away. It also cannot be stored in your inventory unless purchased.]

---

It seemed Reincarnation Paradise had some safeguards in place for selling items. 

However, the items on display weren't particularly valuable. 

"Is this stuff really useful?" Su Xiao asked. 

The man in the suit laughed awkwardly, though a trace of annoyance showed on his face.

"Hey, I almost died getting this. That rhino was no joke! How about this—30 Paradise Coins for this beast bone? It may not be highly rated, but it's a decent material for crafting weapons."

Su Xiao shook his head and left the stall, continuing his exploration.

"Hey, you over there—the rookie. Yeah, you!"

A small girl with blonde hair and blue eyes called out to Su Xiao. When he saw her face clearly, Su Xiao froze in place.

"Ka-Kanna?"
