Chapter 7 - Neganite Awakening

[System Alert: Unauthorized Entity Detected]

Kaelion: What's happening? My vision is disappearing!

System Message: 47%… Repair failed… 47%…

Kaelion: What? (The darkness in his eyes fades) My vision… it's back to normal…

AAAH I thought I had just gained a new skill for the first time! Why did the system take what I already had?!

Other players start the game with at least 3 skills, and I had to fight creatures many times harder than normal without even gaining a single skill… WHY DOES THIS WORLD WANT ME TO DIE?!

System Message: Analysis complete… Initial skills for the Neganite class have been unlocked…

Kaelion: What? Class skills? The only good notification I've received since arriving in this cursed world… My starting skills are finally unlocked!

1. Shadow Break

Type: Physical Attack

Description: Neganite drives his sword into the ground, sending a purple-black energy ring around him.

Deals low damage but reduces enemy defense by 10% (5m area).

If HP is below 20%, attack power doubles (10m area).

Visual effect: short glitch flashes and broken data lines.

Cost: 60 MP

2. Null Veil

Type: Defense / Escape

Description: Puts the user in a data-out state for 3 seconds.

Cannot take physical damage and becomes invisible during this time.

After use, leaves a shadow reflection behind; mimics Kaelion's movements for 2 seconds.

If Null Veil is used for more than 10 seconds, the system marks the user as an anomaly and attempts to correct it through supernatural events (e.g., lightning strikes).

Visual effect: Glitch.

Cost: 100 MP

3. Death Pulse

Type: Early Level Death Magic

Description: Kaelion reverses his heartbeat, drawing energy inward from the world instead of pushing it outward.

Additionally, Kaelion restores HP equal to 5% of the damage dealt (life steal). Simultaneously increases Kaelion's Attack, Defense, and Agility by 10%. If MP reaches 0, the spell continues, but energy begins drawing directly from Kaelion's heart, causing 50 HP loss per second.

(As long as your heart beats, death breathes with you.)

Cost: 10 MP/sec

Kaelion: What are these skills?! They're so powerful! The fights I've endured since the beginning were worth it for this, but there's a problem…

Null Veil requires 100 mana, Shadow Break 60, and with my current mana level I can only use Shadow Break once, or Death Pulse for 6 seconds… Even though I've gained skills, with my low HP and mana it's better if I don't jump into a crowd of enemies yet, at least until I level up a few more times…
