A white light filled the train and its compartnts. When the light died down, Blaze saw that he was now in a steampunk world.
The building afar was high but stacked on each other in an inorganic way. It looked like the building grew a new floor instead of an architect designing it with precision and symtry.
Where he ended up was a train station on the ground, there were no staff or custors around. The only person there was him.

Blaze could feel his power co back to him. The electricity surged inside his body, and his lungs lit up in blue. However, he imdiately felt a pain in his tight chest.
His Thunder Ascended God power was still conflicted with the Shadow Tattered Cloak and could not be used together without hurting himself.
Blaze took a look at his status window after a long ti.

Blaze took a deep breath, and instantly, his muscle was energized.
[You have gained a temporary effect: Ascension]
: All your physical attributes 30; All your ntal attributes 10.
He turned into a blur and jumped off the train. With his current attributes, a simple Ascension turned him into a respectable speedster.
Blaze ran around the train station but didn’t find anyone. He found a secluded room to hide in to open the new system gift.
This was the second gift the system ever gave him. The first was from the beginning when he had activated the system.
"Opening Adept Gift."
[OPENING ADEPT GIFT...]
[You have received x1 Customisable Outfit (Uncommon); x1 Equipnt Fusion (Uncommon)]
: Design a piece of outfit to your desire.
: Fuse two pieces of equipnt together for a chance to have a more powerful piece of equipnt. The pieces of equipnt cannot be higher than Uncommon rank.
More customizable options. Similar to the first one Blaze had received to make his Destruction Wand, now known as Blue Bolt.
The attire of the Wraith could be a hindrance. Especially in this Undercity. This place was deserted, but maybe there was a society out there. Blaze also didn’t bring any clothes with him, so the Customizable Outfit was very useful.
"Make a battle suit. Preferred black. Let it match well with the Cloud Coat. If you can, make it have regeneration power for the wearer as well."
[Retrieving User’s preference...]
[Creating an outfit based on the user’s request...]
[Congratulations, you have received Night Owl (Uncommon)]
Blaze unequipped his Shadow Tattered Cloak and put on the new piece of equipnt. It was an all-black attire with a shiny surface. It almost looked like it was made out of black leather, but it wasn’t as hot inside.
The top was a padded shirt that stuck close to the body. The chest was padded the most, with an engraved owl face on it. The bottom was a long pair of pants that had padded knees. Blaze’s Running Shoes (Common) changed itself to black boots that went very well with the pants.
"Ah ha! I finally know what your hidden trait is!"
- Rank: Uncommon
- Hidden Power: Hungry Owl
- Hungry Owl: The suit is a symbiotic parasite that feeds on the wearer’s power. In turn, it will provide regenerative healing power to the wearer once it is full.
- Hunger ter: (100/100)
"Well. Not exactly what I was imagining, but it looks good."
Blaze then wore the Cloud Coat on top of the Night Owl. The contrast of black and white surprisingly went well together. He looked like an old knight of a fantasy world in common attire with a bit of modern aesthetic mixed in.
The last thing was the . Blaze had a chance to reduce his arsenal to have more powerful items. Of all the pieces of equipnt, the two most useless ones at the mont were Butcher Knife (Uncommon) and Steel Claw (Common).
The Butcher Knife wasn’t that bad, and its infection effect could prove useful. But comparing it to Twinblade’s pure power and penetration capability, Blaze rarely had a chance to use it.
As for the Steel Claw, he still hadn’t had a chance to use it for the sa reason. Its range was bad, and it has no Hidden Power either.
"Let’s fuse the Butcher Knife and Steel Claw."
[FUSION IN PROGRESS...]
[Congratulations, you have received a new piece of equipnt: Slaughter’s Blade (Uncommon)]
: A single steel glove with sharp claws at the tips of the fingers.
- Dizziness: Attacking with this weapon has a chance to make the enemy stunned for a few seconds. This effect is stackable.
- Plain Blade: The glove can summon a two-ter-long sword.
The fusion did not advance the new equipnt to Rare rank, but it did awaken an additional hidden power. Blaze equipped it. The large tal claw was now a humble steel glove with sharp fingers.
With a single thought, a long Western sword appears in his hand. The sword was thin and straight, with its handle made out of pure, shiny steel.
It felt really good in the hand, and the best thing was its range. That blade must have three tis the range of the Twinblade. Now it had beco a weapon that could actually be utilized.
Blaze retracted its blade and then continued to walk out of the station. He needed to learn the situation of this world.
The way leading out of the station was also deserted; no soul was seen walking around.
However, at the gate of the station, there was a young man standing. He leaned his back toward the wall and was smoking. When he saw Blaze, he couldn’t hold his mouth closed.
"Holy shit! An actual survivor from the woods! Boys, co out and et the newcor."
A group of young n gathered at the gate. Looking at their faces, Blaze could see they were around their early twenties. They were actually older than him, chronologically speaking.
But because of the several tamorphoses Blaze had gone through, he actually seed older for his age. He actually seed to be a young man in his twenties or twenty-one. His hulking shoulder didn’t help show his young years either.
The group of young n quickly approached him. Before Blaze could open his mouth, a skinny young man pulled out a gun and aid at him.
"You’re new to this place, huh? Give us everything you have!"
Blaze blinked a few tis. He couldn’t believe what he was encountering.
The group of young n laughed at his face.
"Look at the naive deer! Ha ha! His face says everything!"
"Co on, little bitch! Give us everything you have now! Including that fancy body armor of yours!"
"Look, do it quickly and we can let you go to the Awakened Center!"
Blaze turned into a blur and dashed forward. He kicked the man with a gun right in his chest and sent him flying through the group. Most of them fell to the ground.
Then Blaze took out Irony. With one spin, he fired all six bullets into each and every knee of the thugs.
They all scread in pain. Their eyes widened. They couldn’t hide their shock at what was happening.
"How?! How are you able to use your power?!"
A man said. Blaze approached him and stomped his knee so hard it bent backward. The man writhed in pain.
Blaze grabbed him at the collar and lifted him up.
"Is this the Undercity? What do you an by the Awakened Center? You seem surprised that I can use my power. Why?"
"Hey... Hey... Slow down. I can’t think..."
Blaze pulled the trigger and pierced another bullet through his stomach.
"Speak! If you value your life."
The man tried his best to not scream again. Sweat poured out of his forehead.
"This... This is the Undercity. The Awakened Center is where you get back your power... but not many people can afford it... People that ca here from the woods... They are usually so corrupted... They lose their power.
That’s all I know! I promise!"
Blaze dropped him to the ground and aid Irony at his head.
"Please! Please! I told you the truth!" The man begged for his life. His eyes teared up.
"I believe you. But still, that isn’t going to save you."
A deafening bang, and the man was dead. The others were terrified. They tried to crawl away from Blaze.
Blaze summoned his two-ter Slaughter’s Blade and did a spin. The blade cut off the heads of every single assailant. Then he sucked all of their souls into the Lantern of the Damned.
"Should have thought twice before ssing with soone else."
Blaze continued on his path.
