Daughter of Misery Description
The one who has earned this title is the Child of Despair, the Being of Fear, the Daughter of Misery. This title is gained by one whose soul is full of sadness and ensures that the Goddess of Misery will look over whoever has this title. This title will bring misery to the user but also great power.
---------------------------------------------
Blessing of Despair Description
Passive
The blessing despair is the first gift the title "Daughter of Misery" gifts the user. This blessing strikes fear and spreads misery throughout the body and soul of any enemy weaker than the user.
If fear affects the enemy, their stats will be cut in two. Based on the enemy's level, the effect of fear will vary.
Due to the constant effect of fear, the user starts to lose the ability to feel sadness and fear; they will only be able to inflict it.
---------------------------------------------
Inspect Description
Passive
Cost: None
Allows the user to see the enemy's level; if the level is 30% or higher than the user's level, the enemy's level will not be shown.

---------------------------------------------
Conceal Description
Passive
Cost: None
Conceals the user's presence; if the enemy sense level is too high, they will still be able to sense the user.
Evolution: Conditions not met
---------------------------------------------
"So these are the skills he used." No wonder I couldn't sense his presence. Inspect seems very useful; this will allow me to gauge the power of my enemies. The real problem is this title, Daughter of Misery. I will lose my emotions? I will cause fear to everyone around me. Is the power it will give me worth it? I don't know if this is good or bad. Well, I can't dwell on it; this title seems to be unremovable. I guess for the time being, I'll have to live with it.
!Ding! 12 Unused Stat Points remaining
"Oh, that's right!" I need to use these!
"Status" The blue screen appears in front of me.
---------------------------------------------
Health: 315/340
Mana: 200/370
stats:
Strength: 19
Vitality: 18
Agility: 15
dexterity: 12
Intelligence: 19
Sense:12
Unused stat points: 12
---------------------------------------------
"where should I put these stat points?" I believe my race excels in magic, so I should boost intelligence, right? That does seem like the obvious one because of how much mana my skills blow through, but I should also add a few to the other categories too. Just to be safe.
"Ok, I know what I want!"
---------------------------------------------
Health: 400/400
Mana: 660/660
stats:
Strength: 20
Vitality: 20
Agility: 16
dexterity: 13
Intelligence: 25
Sense:13
Unused stat points: 0
---------------------------------------------
"There, that's all 12 of my stat points." It is strange though, that before upgrading my stats, my health and mana were depleted. It seems like I have a very fast natural regeneration. That is very useful considering my mana usage and lack of combat experience.
"What is this sensation?" I started feeling the presence of something very strong. It wasn't even trying to hide its presence. I knew that, I did not want to run into this beast for now, or it would cut my life short. I need to get stronger. When I was thinking of power, one skill came to mind.
---------------------------------------------

"This skill is legendary." I need to use it to its fullest.
"Soul Weaver" As I say those words, 2 figures manifest in front of me. They were both purple and had a bit of transparency to them. Both emitted a purple glow but only one had an eerie presence. The first one I noticed was the large purple Cow standing in front of me.
---------------------------------------------
Title: Servant of Souls
!Ding! Due to the master's title, the "Servant of Souls" title will evolve

Servant of Misery Description
Lost souls that are preserved will serve the Daughter of Misery and will grow with her; they have unfaltering loyalty and will do whatever their master says. Like their master, they spread fear and misery. If the soul is destroyed, it will be returned to the daughter of Misery. The soul will only be destroyed if the master runs out of mana.

Spiritual Body Description
The body of the user is completely spiritual, meaning all physical attacks can not affect the user. Only magic or direct spiritual attacks can damage the user.
---------------------------------------------
"This skill... This skill is amazing!" I can control the dead? On top of that, my title made this skill even better. They are practically invisible too! Even if they get destroyed, as long as I have mana, they can keep fighting! I wish I had this skill in my past life; maybe I could have brought my sister back...
"My emotions really are fading." I barely feel sad when I think about her anymore. It truly is depressing.
"Shut up, shut up! I still love her; that's all that matters. Anyways, when I was in the abyss, I'm pretty sure the message implied that if I chose to live, I would see my sister again. So I need to grow stronger so that when I find her, I can keep her safe and uphold my duties as a big sister.
"So, Angie, just wait a bit longer."
