"I'll take the others next time."

[14 rewards left.]

"Hrng..." They grunt as they regained their conscience.

It seems they're waking up.

"That was rough." Zeta said as he held his head.

"What's... Going on?" I asked as I saw the Gazer armor formed on their bodies turned into different color. "Everyone, pull out your weapons." Everyone spawned in their weapons but something was wrong. "Why do you all have different weapons?"

Afal had a Saber, Greta had Claws, Precia had a sword and shield, Rize had a bow, Zeta had a mage staff, Yefa had Brawler Gauntlets.

"Gazer form!" I transformed into my own version of Gazer and then spawned in my weapon. "It's... A scythe. The skill specifically listed that it's a scythe? And why are your armors colored red? Precia, show me the skill description."

"Yes. Skill Decription, enlarge, show it to Zieglind."

"This is..."

[Gazer Form, creates an armor made from the followers of the True Death Reaper. Has 3 sub-skills.

|Reaper's Accomplice, Valkyrie|

Can summon a sword and shield that was originally from the Death Reaper's Valkyrie.

|Valkyrian Smite|

Deal 20% more damage. Every 1 minute, you'll be immune to one attack and the attacker will be damaged 80% of the attack they've dealt.

|Resilience of the Valkyrie|

Upon armor's destruction, spawn in a new one that will adopt to the battle.

While in Gazer form, you can fly.]

I was questioning myself on why the skill description and the effects changed. This never happened before. "This is different... Everyone, tell me what you saw when you were all unconscious."

"We were all basically together when we were unconscious. We saw the same things." Afal said.

Yefa agreed with him. "Mhm. We were watching a couple of people looking for someone. We couldn't touch them or talk to them. As if we were just spectating."

Greta then continued, "And they were looking for someone. Their leader so to speak."

"And after they met up with him, a bright light shone upon us." Zeta said. "And then we were brought to an unknown room. Everytime we touched the weapons, a small shock of electricity ran through our whole body. It was a very small shock but it felt so painful. I don't know if the shock was painful because of our physical body or if the shock was attacking our soul. But when I picked up this staff, it gave me a lot of new skills and I could feel myself growing stronger."

Precia agreed with him, "I can vouch for that. And after we picked up the weapons that we can, a loud voice was heard ringing. 'FIND THE REAPER!' It just repeated and repeated until we woke up. But I definitely felt stronger. I think we also leveled up quite a few levels. Let me check. Status." Precia's eyes grew wider. "Everyone... Look at your status..."

Everyone then opened their status and their eyes widened.

"What's going on?" I asked.

They all looked at each other and showed me their status.

"No way... You're all level 100? And what's this next to your name?"

Afal the Deathdancer

Greta the Soul Hungry Beast

Yefa the Devastator

Rize the Heartpiercer

Precia the Demon Valkyrie

Zeta the Dark Mage

And beside their names lies the title...

«Death Reaper's Accomplice»

And then, a screen popped up infront of me.

[Gained skill, The One Who Governs Death, if all of the Death Reaper's accomplice is near you, you'll gain these bonus passive buffs.

|Soul Harvest|

Gains 30% of the dead's maximum health as your own. This skill covers 30 meters range in a circular area and absorbs everything.

|Death is a Blessing|

Gain temporary status boost when absorbing souls. Gains 20% of their status for 1 minute. Add one more minute for the whole stack of status buff when absorbing souls.

|One With His People|

When you're near with one Death Reaper's Accomplice, about 100 meters, you'll gain a 50% strength boost. This passive stacks. Clones do not stack, only their main bodies.

The One Who Governs Death is a skill that will deactivate if you leave your accomplices' side.]

"I have so many questions..." I sat down on the chair while contemplating on what's happening.

"Now that I think about it, you kinda look like the person we saw when we were unconscious. But what we saw was a female in the same armor as you." Zeta said.

"Yeah I agree." As soon as Yefa said that, they all looked at me.

"Val."

"Who? They all asked."

"Val may just be still alive. I never experienced the things you said." My domain cannot be escaped unless I win or they win. But it doesn't say anything about being resurrected. "What you saw are the accomplices' goal. Death Reaper and Death Reaper's Accomplice is just a title not a being. So maybe in the future, we'll meet the original ones."
