[Crystal Core Room, Isaac''s Dungeon.]
Isaac stood in front of the Crystal Core. He was monitoring the dungeon''s condition.
''The hunters were starting to be more active in hunting.''
The control panel window showed Isaac the dungeon dweller''s statistics. The number of monster deaths on Floor 1 and Floor 2 increased by 20% more than usual. Meanwhile, the 3rd Floor was the opposite, the number of dead humans increased by 30% more.
Isaac ordered Asterius to hunt down the hunters at his lower level and forbade him to attack a group of hunters at the same or higher level alone. He would only act as a filter.
For the time being, Isaac wouldn''t be making any adjustments to his dungeon. He waited for the Elf Vige to bepleted first. At least, it would take three to four weeks for the vige to bepleted. Only then he would adjust the monster army.
''The dungeon matter is finished.''
He was sure that the dungeon was under control. His op priority had been fulfilled. Now, he can focus on himself.
Isaac waved his hand, and the control panel system window vanished, reced by the character information window.

[Poption : 221,345/400,000]
[Fund : 2,145,059 zenny]
His eyes scanned the stats.
''I still have 2 million zenny left. I think it''s more than enough to upgrade the Seed of Mind and Soul Taker.''
Isaac then essed the shop and bought four C-ss skills and two B-ss skills. In total, he spent 1,000,000 zenny.
[You purchased the skill scroll ''Hell ze: Fire Magic (B)'']
[You purchased the skill scroll ''East Star: Water Magic (B)'']
[You purchased the skill scroll ''Curaga: Healing Magic (C)'']
[You purchased the skill scroll ''Mutant Gen Body (C)'']
[You purchased the skill scroll ''eleration (C)'']
[You purchased the skill scroll…]
[All items are added to the inventory.]
After purchasing what he needed, Isaac quickly essed the shop''s ''upgrade'' feature. He inputted the ''Seed of Mind'' skill and 2 C-ss skill scrolls. Since the upgraded skills and materials were at the same level, the sess percentage was 50% for one material as a sacrifice.
[Material : 2 ]
[Upgrade percentage : 100%]
[Upgrade? Yes/No]
Without hesitation, Isaac chose the ''Yes'' option.
Ding!
[Upgrade sessful!]
[Skill effect added]<sub> </sub>
A new notification screen appeared. The information description for ''Seed of Mind'' had just been updated. The exp and zenny bonuses from killing monsters increased from 20% to 40% and the limit of seeds imnted in living beings increased from 4 to 6.
''Good, but the power of this skill can still be improved.''
Isaac wasn''t done yet. He inputted the ''Seed of Mind'' skill and sacrificed two B-ss skill scrolls as the materials this time.
Ding!
[Upgrade sessful!]

Seed of Mind status description changed again. Isaac smiled widely after seeing his new skill.
<Seed of Mind>
[ss : A]
[Type : Skill]
[Users can control the mind of all kinds of living beings (except demons).]
[Exp or zenny bonus (60% of the original amount earned) will be given to the user if every living thing that is nted by the seed kills a monster or a human.]
[Users can take over the body of the creature nted by the seed.]
[Limit of seeds that can be nted : 8]
The strongest secret of the ''Seed of Mind'' skill—taking over the host''s body.
This was the reason Isaac was wandering outside the dungeon at the beginning of the game. He chose important people and had a strong influence in every country in order to mobilize the power of the masses of people.
Controlling their minds wasn''t enough for Isaac. It would be easier for him to take the host''s body and execute his own ns. Sometimes, there were some crucial events that had to be handled directly by him to prevent failure.
''Now, I really have control over HFD and Nine Sky.''
This was just the beginning of the n.
Now, it was time for Isaac to upgrade his second skill—Soul Taker. A rare skill that only angels possessed. At least until the sixth year of the game.
This skill would be very popr among demons.
<Soul Taker>
[ss : C]
[Type : Skill]
[Users can take the life of the living beings and get their rukh.]
[Rukh: a manifestation of the possessor of the soul in the form of objects.]
Every living being had a soul. When they were born, the soul did not have permanent form, like the water that changed with vessel. As the owner of the soul developed and grew up, the soul would slowly form into an object.
This object-shaped soul was called rukh.
Rukh was a manifestation of the life of its owner. The form taken from rukh followed the mentality, feelings, and thoughts of its owner. The stronger the character of the owner, the stronger the impact rukh produced.
For example, like the spirit of Fedorov''s shield or the fangs of Byakko.
It could be said that rukh was the manifestation of the life of its owner. Rukh couldn''t be used inbat, but it could be used as a basic material for making artefacts.
All artefacts sold in the shops and auctions used rukh as their basic material. Everything was produced in the Heaven Realm.
It could be said, the weapons used in this game came from the lives of the living beings.
That was why Isaac really wanted this Soul Taker skill.
''I will create an extremely powerful artefact to kill demons.''
However, there was still another surprise hidden in Soul Taker.
Isaac inputted the Soul Taker skill into the system and then sacrificed 2 C ss skills.
Ding!
[Upgrade sessful!]

The description of the skill changed.
Isaac read the skill information, his eyes scanning the line of letter words. Then, a smirk appeared on his face.
