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.

[ '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.
