Soulless Players

Chapter -1: Exceptional Professions (SPOILERS)

Warning! Spoiler ahead.

Four main exceptional professions.

1. Warriors

-No information regarding this yet. However, it was believed that the east continent was the home of the warriors. Additionally, Philip's adoptive father was most likely one.

2. Magicians

-The north continent was the home ground of the magicians. They were exceptional in using elemental powers. However, the magicians have a strict rule to never touch the ordinary people.

This was later confirmed by Philip when he understood that to become a magician, a person must either kill one or be harmed by one with a high pool of mana.

3. Mentalist

- This profession was the main focus of the earliest part of the novel. They were extremely weak in fighting abilities but possessed exceptional infiltrating and covert abilities.

To become a mentalist, a strict order and prerequisite must be followed:

- 1. An individual must possess at least 150 IQ or any other equivalent measuring system of mental strength. For soulless players, they must have at least 15 mental base stats.

- 2. An individual must at least once, unlock their core memory in the past. This was akin to a mother bestowed by a sudden increase in strength to save her child. It was easy to confuse this for an adrenaline rush, but in truth, it involved supernatural phenomena.

Additionally, the individual must lock it after using it. This was similar to the relief felt by a mother when she succeeded in saving her child. If an individual didn't lock it after, they would become more unhinged and have a sudden decrease in life span, resulting in early death.

- 3. After possessing the two requirements above, an individual could now perceive anyone who could travel in an astral state. To become a fully-fledged mentalist, they must undergo a procedure where they have to enter into sleep paralysis and summon their astral body. Afterward, they would have to summon a door leading to their space of consciousness. Only when an individual entered into his space would he become a level 1 mentalist called Dreamwalker.

1. Dreamwalker

-Dreamwalker possessed the following abilities.

1. A 1/3 increase in mental strength

2. Exceptional sensitivity to human emotion and mannerisms

3. Capable of traveling in an astral state (2000 meters) and summoning an astral domain of 25 meters in radius.

4. Placate nightmares by imbuing a sleeping person in their astral domain.

5. Enter into a dream world where every mentalist and dream citizen gathers.

2. Empath

-It was not discussed yet in the novel however some of its abilities have already been mentioned.

1. Capable of seeing the basic emotion orbs of individuals.

2. Once the luminosity of the orb reaches the darkest or brightest color, an empath could steal this, making an individual forget what they had felt earlier.

...

3. ???

-Its name wasn't mentioned but some of its abilities include:

1. Storing and bringing real and dream items in and out of the dream realm.

2. Capable of possessing psychic abilities.

4. Spiritualist

-There were many kinds of spiritualists but so far, the novel has only discussed two of them.

1. Hotelier

- To become a hotelier, an individual must possess the hotelier's key in half spirit state and half-human state.

A hotelier must serve humans in the real world and lingering ghosts and spirits in the mirroring world.

After the death of the previous owner, if he has a descendant, the firstborn would immediately become the new hotelier.
