14 Chapter 14 – Fusion (2/2)

Within the square, there was a tall man surrounded by a forest. The man was as tall as some of the trees in the backdrop. He was dressed in orange Daoist robes. He had pulled down his robes to reveal his upper body.

His face was hazy and you couldn't get a clear picture of it from any angle. His neck was as thick as a person's thigh. The muscles on his shoulders were developed to the point that they looked like right triangles.

Every muscle on his chest and arms were outlined. His arms were buff and the veins on them protruding like lightning running down his arms. His almost barrel-like chest slowly contracted as it went down to his waist full of abs.

His body was almost as if chiselled from stone by a master crafter. Truly magnificent.

This was still not the most eye-catching thing about the picture.

The man within was moving. Sometimes he would sit in the lotus position another time he would be standing and performing a punching routine. His actions were varied and they didn't follow an order or repeat.

It was like the man within the square painting was truly living beyond it.

Underneath the painting, a few lines of text were displayed. The words were popping out like a hologram on the card.

'Body of a monk : (Passive Skill)

Level - 0

Exp to next level – 0/1000'

This was the skill that granted him the abilities of a monk and set him on the path of levelling as a monk adventurer.

A line extending from this square into the mist covered area of the card below could be seen.

The other card was also very similar and made of the same material.

The only difference being the square and the lines of text.

At the top, in crude letter's that seemed to be carved out by a knife or dagger of some sort was the word 'Ranger'.

The rim of the square below it had a design of multiple different short weapons, bows and arrows of different kinds. It exuded a completely different presence from the monk card.

The monk card was soothing while this card had a sharpness to it.

Within the picture of this card was an alluring woman dressed completely in black skin tight clothes.

She wore a full sleeved top and full-length tights. Even her hands were covered by white gloves.

There were belts with holsters attached to them for different weapons all over her. From her ankles, thighs, waist, wrists, forearms, back and even her moderately bulging chest.

She exposed no skin below her neck.

Just like the man in the monk painting her face was hazy.

Her crimson hair was tied into a single ponytail that pointed to the back.

She was in a completely brick-walled room that looked like it was in the basement of some old castle.

The room was filled with wooden shelves, stands and tables that were all completely filled with cold and glimmering weapon's.

Chain's hung from the ceiling upon which hung more weapons.

Her wide hips swayed as she walked around the room in heeled black boots inspecting the different weapons. She would occasionally bend her thin waist forward and with her long slender hands pick up a weapon or two from a table or shelf. She would then execute an exquisite movement with it.

Watching her was mesmerizing, to say the least.

Below the square were a few lines of text.

'Body of a ranger : (Passive Skill)

Level – 0

Exp to next level – 0/1000'

Adam was lost in his admiration of both cards especially the two live paintings when he was jolted awake by a message from his sentient mind.

'Efficiency increase through card merging detected.

Merging cards.'

”What?!” He was even capable of merging these two class cards. If he wasn't shocked by the fusion of elements before then now he was completely rattled.

This was truly unprecedented. Was his sentient mind going to create a completely new class?

This was way too exaggerated, even by his standards.

His thoughts were about to run wild when the completion message showed up and he rushed to read it.

”Ah, thank god. I would have truly lost it if it got any crazier!” he breathed out a sigh of relief.

Adam hadn't realized it but since coming to this world he had grown increasingly more expressive.

He was very isolated in his previous life and after the tempering of his soul, he had become almost as plain as a sheet of paper.

The interaction's he had with the eccentric Yuki and the caring Fen had started shaping him unconsciously.

His ability to maintain a cool head in a heated situation, however, was embedded in his soul.
