Chapter 2:

  Chapter 2:

  My head was hurting a little, when I opened my eyes. Even though it hurt, I quickly forgot about the headache as I stared at the notification screens in front of me.

  I unlocked the 2 locked titles and gained 1 new title. I was always wondering about what it was, and now I know. I click on the title "Reincarnated One".

  When I clicked it, memories started flowing into my brain. It seems I used to be a man named Luke Smith, who was living in a world that was technologically advanced. That world then crumbled, because a new virus created creatures they called "zombies". The man was an engineer, and survived in the world for 5 years. One day, a handsome 24 blonde guy joined his survivor group. At first it didn't really matter, but the man's girlfriend started cheating on him for the man. The blonde guy had wild ambitions, and made Luke's girlfriend to kill him in his sleep. He died at the age of 35, but he came back as a ghost to haunt the man and his girlfriend. He was satisfied when he found out the group died 1 week later under the leadership of the blonde guy, they all died cruelly. Satisfied, he dissipated from the world and came into my body.

  Coming back to reality, I saw the title.

  I gained 30 points of Spirit, 25 intelligence, 17 charisma and 13 wisdom. I was surprised to get spirit, as it was the hardest stat to increase. Normal stats can be increased by training, or by using stat points you acquire from leveling up, but spirit can only be increased by meditation. Calming down a little, I proceeded to click on the title "2 Souls, 1 Body".

  This title confused me at first, but when I read it, it made sense. It seems my body had to different souls, my soul, and the soul of Luke. It seems my soul was stronger, because I was born in the dungeon universe, also known as Starrim. This title gave me 20 spirit and 10 vitality, which made happy. Finally I clicked on the title I gained, "Merged Souls".

  I kind of had a vague understanding of this title from its name. My guess was right, as the 2 souls in my body merged together, to create 1 soul. This I had the stronger soul, I had my personality kept, while only some of Luke's personality is kept. I gained 40 spirit, 10 perception, 10 luck and 18 dexterity from the title. I was confused about what perception is, but it made me happy to get it. The thing that made me the happiest about the title is the increase in luck. Although spirit is the hardest stat to increase, luck cannot be increased by stat points. They are inherent from birth, and can only be increased by items and titles.

  Before checking out the skills, Soul Manipulation and Soul Sense, that I got from the "Merged Souls" title, I will check out my stats.

  I clicked on the perception stat.

  It seems the perception stat came from having 100 spirit, the perception stat gives me better perception of danger and where enemies are going to strike. It is like the 6th sense.

  Spirit increases the strength of the soul and the persons awareness, every 10 spirit = 1 perception. Strength allows the person to cause more damage and carry heavier items. Agility allows the person to attack faster and move faster. Vitality is how much damage a person can take, how durable a person's body is and how fast it heals (hp regen)., 1 vitality = 0.05 hp regen. Dexterity is reaction speed and hand-eye coordination. Intelligence is how fast a person can process things and the amount of mana a person has. 1 intelligence = 2 mana and 10 intelligence = 0.1 mana regen. Wisdom is increases magic damage ( for example if a person with 10 wisdom uses fireball on iron, it will make it hot, but if someone with 20 wisdom uses fireball on it, it will melt it into liquid metal) and mana regen. 1 wisdom = 0.05 mana regen. Charisma is how well a person can lead a group and how charming they are to others. Last but not the least, luck is how lucky a person is, for example: what drops they get from monsters, the people they encounter, how bargains go, how they survive dangerous situations, etc. Mana is how much spells they can use . Leveling up gives a person 2 stat points and 20 mana. Leveling up also gives the person 0.1 regen in mana, health. I started off with 210 mana, with 49 intelligence, I now have 308 mana.

  After thinking about the advantages of gaining a new stat, I go into my skill list.

  Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

  I become shocked at the sheer amount of skills I gained. It seems I gained it from Luke, while Soul Manipulation and Soul Sense came from the title "Merged Souls".

  Skills involving the are extremely rare and most of the times extremely strong. Knowing this fact made me excited.

  After going through my skills descriptions, I became happy about my major improvement in strength. Just as I was going to get up to test my new abilities, the rising sun blinded me eyes.

  That's when I realized I had school. I call out World Clock after exiting my notifications.

  World Clock is a feature of the Dungeon System all races have. It allows the person using it to know the time of the dungeon. Although it is useful, people still buy watches and clocks as some floors don't permit the usage of the World Clock. This could be dangerous in many floors, so all parties have at least one watch.

  The time is 6:30 am and I have to arrive at school at 8:30 am. I rush home to shower and get my lunch. My parents weren't worried were I was as I stay outside training the whole night a lot of times.

  I grinning the whole day, and people looked at me like I was crazy, but I don't care. When school finished, I rushed back to train. This time, to try out my new skills.

  To be continued.

  Author's note: Hey guys, hoped you enjoyed the chapter. This chapter will be last info dump in a while. Sorry I didn't have the scenes of him training his skills this chapter I got tired from making all the tables. Here is a little spoiler, the Soul Manipulation is not what it seems like, it will be much more useful and powerful in the future. It will be the skill he mainly uses in the future, it's true power will be revealed when he enters the dungeon. I took out health and stamina because I want this story to be more real, also it is easier to write. Remember to leave feedback, comments, reviews, advice and criticism, it will help make the story better. There might be a poll in the future about whether there should be classes or not.
