As Caleb swallowed the pill. He braced himself for the incoming murmurings that were about to assault him.
Then. Just like he expected. Changes began to take place in his vision. Red became redder. Blue became bluer. Green turned greener. It was a kaleidoscope of damned colors. It was as if someone had kicked towards a canvas. Stay updated through empire
However, this is just the beginning. Following that, he felt that the bones all over his body were ground to fine dust. The pill started the process of changes to the cellular level!
'Fucking pain!' Gritting his teeth, he tried to hold back the intense itchiness that began to spread throughout his entire body. Furthermore, what really horrified him was the changes in his skin. From pale, the color transitioned seamlessly to blue and red. He felt confused and was unsure if the pill had failed.
"Calm down... That's a normal change."
David's voice pulled back Caleb to reality.
He gradually calmed down, and a determined light emerged from his eyes.
Fortunately, it only took three minutes before the painful process began to gradually recede. He felt his entire skeleton suddenly twitch and the pain fully stopped.
Regardless, Caleb still feels uncomfortable due to the fiery, indescribable heat that erupted from his heart.
What the fuck are these side effects!? They are more severe than the last time. Well, he knew that this was the case because it was more of a physical side effect.
'Goddamn it! Here it comes!'
An intense dizziness assaulted his mind. Hundreds... No, thousands of voices came pouring down on his head. The intensity was like a dam being broken! Whispers, screaming, and constant buzzing repeatedly echoed directly to his brain.
However, instead of pain or anything of the like that he had experienced before. He felt an unprecedented coolness in his head that lessened the voices by at least 60%!
And gradually, the physical effect on his body completely disappeared. The murmurings eventually vanished.

'So the name of this Tier 8 of the Shadow Path is called ghost. Interesting...'
Then Caleb's attention was directed to the two new passive and active abilities. By their name, he could vaguely guess their effect.
Ephemeral Cloak (Passive): The user gains the ability to blend with shadows seamlessly, becoming nearly invisible to the naked eye. This passive skill allows the Ghost to blend effortlessly into the darkness, concealing their presence even further. It not only diminishes the user's smell, aura, and sounds, as in Ghost Walk but takes it a step further by providing an almost ethereal quality to their form, making them exceptionally elusive. The effect is heightened when the user remains motionless, further enhancing their ability to remain undetected within the shadows.
Shadow Veil (Active): When activated, this ability extends the Ghost's concealment to nearby allies within a certain radius for a limited time. The Ghost can temporarily shroud their comrades in the same ephemeral cloak, making the entire group nearly invisible to enemies within the shadows. This active support skill synchronizes seamlessly with the Ghost's passive ability, Ephemeral Cloak, by not only concealing the user but also extending this concealment to their allies. The duration and effectiveness of Shadow Veil may vary based on the user's mastery of their Tier 8 abilities, creating a tactical advantage for the entire team during covert operations or stealthy maneuvers.
Limitations: Can only use 3 members currently. Once performed an attack or moves out of the shadows, the effect of the ability would get deactivated. Can only be activated once the targeted allies are in the shadows.
I'll be damned!
