Start as a Spiritual Planter: I Have a Game Panel

While Ram was still thinking, the Wraith attacked again. This time, Su Mu was ready. She ducked under its claws and drove her dagger deep into its chest.

The Wraith let out a final, agonized scream and dispersed, leaving only a lingering chill in the air as it retreated.

Su Mu turned to Ram, her expression serious. "We need to get out of here. There might be more of them."

Ram nodded, still in shock from the encounter. "Thank you," he said, his voice shaky. "I don't know how to repay you."

Su Mu shook her head. "There are worse things than Wraiths out here." she paused slightly, looked around to make sure there was no one, and continued, "Do you know why it's after you?"

"I probably guessed why it's after me," Ram replied, but he kept the details about his resurrection to himself.

Even if he said it out loud, people might think he was crazy. As far as he knew, on the entire Blue Star, only the believers of the Goddess of Life could perform resurrection techniques.

He had never heard of other professions capable of such feats.

Also, not every dead person summoned Wraiths; only those unlucky ones in a thousand or ten thousand would call forth Wraiths from the underworld.

Wraiths summoned this way were cursed to absorb the soul of the dead that summoned them to evolve.

If they failed, they could not return to the underworld and would slowly weaken unless they continued to kill and absorb souls and Life Energy.

However, doing so would attract unwanted attention and prompt a hunt, as no one wanted a Wraith killing indiscriminately, potentially becoming strong enough to destroy an entire city.

The Wraith would not let him go unless it was completely destroyed, or it successfully absorbed his soul and broke the curse binding them both.

Ram took a deep breath and followed her out of the alley, his mind filled with questions, and he became curious about this mysterious woman who had saved his life twice.

"If my guess is correct, the Wraith might come after me again. I don't know if you can help me again?" Ram asked, as he slowly followed behind Su Mu.

He thought about it again and again but couldn't find any means to defeat the Wraith with his current strength.

Maybe Mai could help him, as an Arcane Master she should know one or two spells that could cause damage to Wraiths, but he wasn't sure if she really could.

The only possible way he could think of was to find a profession or skill that could cause damage to Wraiths.

He also considered some Spiritual Plants that could harm Wraiths, but they were hard to find in a short time.

So, his best option was Su Mu. He had seen her attribute panel, and her profession seemed to be the nemesis of all Soul-type entities.

However, she seemed to be in a bigger problem than he was in. It's her life span, seemed to have been drained by something, with only less than one year left to live.

[ Name: Su Mu]

[ Age: 22/23 (Drained)]

[ Race: Human]

[ Profession: Soul Reaper Lv1]

[ Physique: 15.4]

[ Spirit: 12.1]

[ Talent: ???]

[ Hero Talent: Soul Lock]

Ram was shocked again when he saw her level and attributes. He didn't understand why the woman he had met recently seemed to be way stronger than he expected, just like Mai before.

But now, the woman in front of him seemed to be even more monstrous than Mai was. Just a Tier-1, yet her attributes seemed to be comparable to or stronger than Tier-2 professionals.

Although he wasn't able to identify her talent, he guessed it should be related to her creating energy weapons with spiritual power, as he had seen earlier.

When he saw an extra attribute called Hero Talent that he had never seen on any other attribute panels he identified so far, he finally understood why her attributes were so high.

"Damn, Soul Reaper is a Hero profession!!" he exclaimed secretly. Curious, he wanted to check what this hero talent 'Soul Lock' was.

A new panel with details appeared again. Hero professions were rare and coveted. They granted significant attribute increases and powerful Hero skills.

Each star level not only enhanced a professional's basic attributes but also provided additional enhancements to the hero's skills and talent that could turn the tide of battle.

Hero Talents were specific to Hero Professions and could be incredibly versatile, allowing the professional to adapt to various combat situations with ease.

[ Hero Talent: Soul Lock, an exclusive talent of Soul Reaper.

Soul Reapers, a long line of inheritors of an ancient family, have the ability to capture powerful Soul bodies, Monster Spirits, Ghosts, or Evil Spirits to lock inside their bodies, granting them the ability to use all the skills and talents of the locked Spirit Entity.]

When he looked at the talent description, he found that this talent seemed to be even more powerful than he expected.

The Soul Reaper she awakened should be a powerful 5-star Hero Profession. Unlike ordinary and rare professions, all hero professions are classified into different levels based on various factors, from one star to five stars.

The higher the star level, the stronger the profession. A 5-star hero profession is only a little bit short of becoming a Lord Profession, the highest of all.

While he was still marveling at her attribute panel. Before he could even process what he'd seen, Su Mu stopped suddenly and turned back at him, their faces mere inches apart.

Ram could feel the warmth of her breath tickle his cheek, sending a jolt through him, his heart suddenly began to beat faster.

He couldn't tear his gaze from her face. Her beauty was breathtaking. Her flawless skin seemed to glow with an inner light, her eyes sparkled like polished sapphires, and her lips, full and inviting, were curved into a hint of a smile.

An unsettling mix of emotions swirled within him – awe, trepidation, and a strange flutter of something that felt suspiciously like excitement.

"So," she said, her voice a husky murmur that sent shivers down his spine, "you want me to help you?" She paused for a moment, tilting her head slightly as if considering his request.

Then, a slow, knowing smile played on her lips, as if she had finally snagged the prize she'd been hoping for. "Yes," she continued, her voice dropping to an even softer tone, "I can help you. But it won't be easy, and there's a condition. How does that sound?"
