While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

"What is it?" asked Shinka's uncle in an annoyed and unbothered manner.

There was too much mystery behind Adam and he seemed to have a lot of knowledge about the universe and its affairs, which was shocking considering he seemed to be a lone and weak wandering soul when he encountered him.

However, since he was relatively capable by Mortal's standards and had helped Shinka so much, he was willing to hear him out, but was also ready to decline anything he requested, knowing how crafty he could be.

"I want a Death Corps certification. With it, I would be able to openly communicate with those from the Death Corps, even if they have a sensory cover, and can also aid any in my vicinity. But I also don't want to be tracked or restricted by the underworld and Death Corps. If you can do that for me, I will be able to lend you a hand more, since my world seems to be within your jurisdiction," answered Adam.

His request didn't seem outrageous when he thought about it, but he had no idea how crazy it was to Shinka's uncle and the rookie Death Wraith that couldn't help but eavesdrop.

"That's insane. It's forbidden for anyone that isn't a Soul Creature of the underworld to join the Death Corps, while it is also impossible as your existence is not suitable for it," he exclaimed in response to Adam's request.

Adam didn't want to reveal that his existence actually was suitable for it, and they seemed to have gotten his request confused.

"I am not looking to join you. I just want to be recognised as an ally of the Death Corps or a soul that is off-limits to the Death Corps, but is also someone that can help them..." corrected Adam.

However, before Shinka's uncle could even respond, seeming to be still against it, Adam continued, "And I am sure that you are capable of doing that, at least in your own jurisdiction. While Shinka would also be happy to hear that you did her friend a favour,"

The way he spoke to the boss was outrageous to the rookie Death Wraith, and he was even more shocked by Adam's claim of being Shinka's friend. Shinka was known for being a failure that was unusual and infatuated with mortals, but she suddenly switched and became an incredible individual. Although she was always treated well, before the respect she was shown was for her identity and ancestors, but now it was for her possible future and good work.

She wasn't known for having any friends, or at least any that would openly claim to be friends with her, and yet Adam did and at that time he appeared to be a normal wandering soul. While Adam also didn't outwardly appear to be anything amazing, despite the speed he displayed.

"Okay, I can make you recognised by the death corps, but I have some conditions and these are not up for negotiation," said Shinka's uncle, giving in and knowing that Adam being recognised by the Death Corps would make life easier in the future.

"What are they?"

"First off, you will be merely be recognised as an affiliate of the Death Corps, meaning that you are not officially a part of the Death Corps, but will not be targeted or seen as an enemy by those sent from the Death Corps. As for the recognition, it will not go further than that, and it gives you no authority over those from the Death Corps, while it also doesn't mean that you have our backing or support. All it gives you is more freedom and allows you to contact with those sent from the Death Corps, even those with sensory covers. In return, I would like you to aid struggling Death Wraiths in your vicinity when you can, as you already know that we are struggling with the number of deaths taking place in the universe,"

"Sure, that was exactly what I was looking for, anyway. But is there any chance I could get my hands on one of these communication devices?"

"Absolutely not! Hand the communication device back over to the rookie Death Wraith and I will remotely assign your soul a seal of recognition and affiliation from the Death Corps. Although it might not be recognised by all from the Death Corps, at least in my jurisdiction you have nothing to worry about," the powerful figure answered immediately, clearly on the verge of exploding in anger.

Handing back the communication device just like Shinka's uncle had said, as he did, he had one last thing to say.

"Seeya old bull and pass on my regards to Shinka,"

After saying that, Adam flew off into the distance as if he was leaving, but he was going to go back and return to his Physical Form once the rookie Death Wraith had returned to the underworld. It was just as an extra precaution, not wanting the underworld to find out about his Form Switching Characteristic, which would place a massive target on his head.

The shocked rookie Death Wraith who had only been sent to retrieve souls a few times so far was too astonished to even think straight, but as soon as the authoritative voice of his boss resounded through the communication device, he snapped out of it.

"Return to headquarters and forget about the exchange you just observed. This was a private and unique matter that will not repeat itself, and you did well to react quickly and calmly. However, you must become stronger to be able to handle all threats alone,"

Hearing the words of praise, despite sounding cold, knowing how his boss was, the rookie Death Wraith was elated, and couldn't help but feel as though his boss's mood was better than usual.. And the only reason he could think of that would be the reason for that was the unusual and unknown wandering soul he had come across.
