He turned around and chose a different path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that path also had a girl in a white dress sitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Terrorstate, huh...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter turned once more and chose a different path. There was also a girl sitting on the path. He spun around and everywhere he saw, a girl was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl didn’t move but she was slowly appearing closer to Carter. It was as if the space was distorted and it pulled Carter closer to the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I guess I can’t be you right now, System Ghost. Equip Eldritch Knight!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[ELDRITCH KNIGHT EQUIPPED]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark cloud enveloped Carter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl in the white dress was now extremely close to Carter. Her cry echoed. A desperate cry that made the skin of the listener crawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl lifted her head up. Her face was a mix between a human and a bird. Her nose was a long beak. Her eyes had no eyelids. They were two black sleek spheres. She had no mouth nor ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl suddenly stood up and lunged at the dark cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter’s fist shot out and punched the girl, sending her rolling a few times on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cloud disappeared, revealing Carter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure white robe on the outside. A black battle suit on the inside. His right hand held a black sword. His left hand had a metallic bracer on the wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter’s face also changed. He had a pair of determined eyes. Short brown hair. And a dangerous relentless aura on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not Carter Hayes. Nor the System Ghost. It was no one that Carter knew before. It was the Eldritch Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hunter...\" The girl growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter unsheathed his sword. The Prisoner was shorter than he thought. It had no guard, only a sleek black body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the powers within the skin flooded into Carter. He knew everything he needed to know. All the strength, skills, and minor details embedded into Carter automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter raised the Prisoner higher, entering a sword stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"En Garde.\" Carter said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl jumped at him. Carter slashed the Prisoner at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was slashed in two. Her body dissolved like smoke. The girl reappeared behind Carter and lunged at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter could react to her. He already anticipated it. But he didn’t. He only smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl jumped on his back. Her fingernails grew longer and slashed at Carter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pulse of white energy shot out and repelled the girl back. She slammed her back on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter spun and kicked her in the abdomen. He held his leg there to pin her to the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should have let me leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter swung his sword, decapitating the girl in one hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Synchronization +5.3%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current Synchronization]: 10.6%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>: 10\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl dropped to the ground. Her body convulsed and changed. She showed her true form once she’s dead. She was a bird demon with no wings. Her skin was as dark as charcoal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, both windows of the Prime System and the Infinite Skin System popped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Prime System was built to colonize other worlds. It had a basic feature of rewarding Primer when they killed any being of another dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skin System, however, showed a more unique stat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What is Synchronization?’ Carter asked in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skin System responded immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Synchronization: The measurement of how much you have become the character of the skin]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[At 100%, Host will absorb the strength of the skin]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[At 100%, Host may choose one aspect to receive from the skin (1 Ability or 1 Skill or 1 Item)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t many things that could cause Carter to be uneasy. But for the first time, he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter widened his eyes a little before returning back to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Synchronization... It is basically acting according to the skin. The more I become it, the more powerful my true self will be. Perfect for a little actor like me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter looked back down at the Terror. A pulsing sledge hammer appeared right above it. It was coming from the Skin System, not the Prime System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What is this?’ Carter asked himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please put your hand on the target]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skin System immediately responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter placed his hand on the corpse of the Terror. Immediately, a progress bar appeared right beneath the pulsing hammer. It filled up slowly. Once it was full, the body of the Terror disintegrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[+1 Minor Terror Skin Shard (Awaken)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skin Forge is unlocked]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You can forge 10 Skin Shards of the same rank together to receive the corresponding skin]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter smiled gently, ’Skin Shards, huh? So this is how I can gain new skin without accessing a new world.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eldritch Knight stood up. He sheathed his sword and continued on his way. The night was young and Terrors lurked in all the corners of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter needed to fill the shoes of the Eldritch Knight. There was nothing more fitting than him hunting Terrors in the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Terror jumped out from the corner. Its hand reached out at him. Carter was surprised. If he was his usual self, he would turn around and run for his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t Carter Hayes at the moment. He was the Eldritch Knight. And a hunter of the night does not run. They hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter maintained the cold facade and grabbed the Prisoner. He drew the sword in the same motion as slicing the Terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Synchronization +4.6%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current Synchronization]: 15.2%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>: 20\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Terror was decapitated in one simple motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mortal. Awaken. Then Elite Awaken. But Prime World usually calls it as Elite for short. I am one rank higher than an Awaken. These Awaken Terror are like children to me. I can kill them easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carter placed his hand on the Terror and converted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[+1 Minor Terror Skin Shard (Awaken)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Carter heard a scream. A guttural angry scream. His head snapped over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Alan stabbing a large machete inside Nina Chekhova.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You damn traitor!\" Nina’s hands glowed pink as she punched Alan, sending him flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan rolled a few times on the ground. He quickly regained balance and got up, wiping his bleeding nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sword is a cursed object. The Terrors would kill you now.\" Alan stepped into darkness and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrors walked out from the shadow and circled Nina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!\" Nina shouted. \"I should’ve known!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was injured and tired. There was no way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she saw a man in a white robe approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed his sword and unsheathed it slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prisoner...
