    I kinda got a gist of how leveling up worked out, but I still decided to ask Long for confirmations.

    "Long…"

    However, as soon as I started to speak I was almost instantly interrupted…..

    [Stop! Before you ask anything let me give you the elementary info that is told to every player on the first time they level up.] ( Long )

    [As a player, everytime you level up gives you a certain amount of points that you can locate manually along with some other little improvements, the way they are calculated is as follows…]

    [Every time the player levels up once, every stat increases permanently by 0.01 point every time the player levels up once, and they would receive '' 0.1 x (number of stats they have) '' of freely allocated stat points]

    [Disregarding the passive increase that doesn''t require explanation, as you have 7 types of stats, you would receive 0.7 points every time you level up ( which equals 7 normal points )]

    After ending his speech which he recited in a monotonous robot like voice, Long shut both his mouth and eyes as if he was heading to sleep.

    [Don''t disturb this Long, if it isn''t anything important]

    While wondering why he was this tired after only leaving the system space by less than half an hour, I headed towards the corruption core which was standing on a short pillar 2 m behind the throne.

    [ Activating ''Eye of knowledge''.... ]

    [ ''Massacre corruption Core'' (Special)

    Essence Accumulation: 95,989/100,000 ]

    The core seemed to be quite ominous as if it contained the lives of various victims, and it seemed to be overflowing by the second.

    [ Essence Accumulation: 96,265/100,000 ]

    [ Essence Accumulation: 96,666/100,000 ]

    ....

    It seemed that it would reach the out-break stage very soon, and leaving it more than that didn''t seem like a good choice.

    I went back to the corpse of the death knight as I held his great sword to smash the core, however, as soon as I touched it it turned into a wisp of light which was absorbed by [ Lightning Cloud ].

    [ A Sword type weapon ( Great sword ) has been detected ]

    [ ''Heavy Sword of Death'' ( Special ) has been absorbed by ''Lightning Cloud'' ]

    [ ''Lightning Cloud'' (Unique) - ''Lightning Cloud'' (Unique*) ]

    [ Item Skill - ''Transformation'' unlocked ]

    [ ''Lightning Cloud'' has unlocked the ( Great Sword ) form… ]

    [ ''Transformation''

    Description: ''a sword has no fixed shape, it follows the heart of its wielder''

    Current forms: 1st - ( Great Sword ) ]

    A sequence of events unfolded with just one nonchalant move of mine, it seemed that the sword used by the death knight was not a normal special grade sword, or else the mystery shrouded [ Lightning Cloud ] wouldn''t have interacted with it and even unlock an item skill.

    It seemed that searching for special swords of other forms might seem useful in discovering what''s more to this [ Lightning Cloud ].

    In any case, I held the sword as I tried to use the new skill, I still had to smash that orb. I hesitated to use [ Lightning Cloud ] at first in fear of the corruption affecting it thus trying to the death knight''s sword, but just then I was reminded of how special is this sword.

    [ Activating ''Transformation''.... ]

    [ ''Lightning Cloud'' has adopted the ( Great Sword ) form! ]
