Immediately after Stroph heard the name of the coat, there were many strange notices in front of him. He had never seen such a thing before.
[Got the item ??? rarities, the coat is "Snow White Darkness"]
[Congratulations, you got the history of epic level - "An ant who got the dragon"]
[Being incredibly weak like an ant, you could get an incredibly strong creature! You stood up to the incredible pressure and didn`t fall in the face of something beyond your understanding! This is truly an historic moment in your life!]
[Effect - when fighting against opponents much stronger than you, you will deal 15% more damage, also after each victory over such a strong opponent, you will receive an additional reward]
[Congratulations, your level is up, the current level is 5]
[With Level 5, your authority has been increased, now you are- a History Collector]
[It is possible to increase the characteristics with the help of the system, the methods of obtaining coins and points are increased]
[All your characteristics except the Luck and the Spirit are increased by 10]
<That's a lot, just because "Snow White Darkness" agreed to my proposal. It's just unbelievable! An epic story! And also with two effects, and incredibly useful! It even has a description! Bookmark, what exactly is the History Collector, and what are the new ways to get coins and points?> Stroph was delighted, every time he received several levels, the system constantly opened for him something new and cool. He couldn't wait to see what he got.
[This is your new status, if simple, you have moved to a new stage of development as my master.]
<It said that my stats increased by 10, given my past performance, it is an incredible increase> Stroph immediately wanted to see the changes, and a window with all the information opened before his eyes.

<Bookmark, how strong am I now comparing with the monsters? > Stroph was in amazement at the characteristics he had seen, it became literally several times stronger in a moment.
[Judging only by your characteristics, fighting with your bare hands against a second rank monster will not be a problem].
<Okay, even some Purple Ghoul could have cut me before, so what's with the new ways to get points and coins?
[Now, when you kill the monsters, you will get points and coins, because even killing one weak monster of the first rank is itself some kind of event and a small history. But it is far from enough to get a full history, even a common one].
<I see, and I was worried that I would have to go out of my way to get some histories for my points. Updating the status fundamentally changes the game rules. Bookmark, how much can I get for killing ten Purple Ghouls?
[1 common point and 5 history coins].
<Total 0.1 common point and 0.5 history coins for one Purple Ghoul, well, I guess it was worth expecting> Stroph was a little upset by the scanty number of coins and points he could get for killing ten monsters, but he expected it to be probably like this.
[The number of receiving coins and points depends on how important their lives are to history].
Stroph thought for a while about his new possibilities and then said calmly: "Snow White Darkness, how do we explain them what just happened?" Saying it, he looked at Richard, Anthony and Charles lying behind him.
<It`s not worth worrying , my young friend, in this old room it has accumulated enough energy to create one little miracle.> His voice as it before was creepy and would have caused incredible fear for the ordinary man , but after it had joined to Stroph, his words stopped to seem so creepy any more, it can be said, for Stroph they were the most ordinary.
"What? Why did the words sound right in my head? Have you managed telepathy?" Stroph was very surprised and his eyes expanded slightly, because everything that "Snow White Darkness" said was heard right in his head. He had never experienced anything like it before.
<Ahhhhh, don't worry, now we can communicate with each other telepathically, not only me, you can also, just try>
Stroph had a slight frown, and then decided to try to talk to his new friend.
<That's it? Do you hear me?> Stroph wasn`t sure if he`s doing everything correctly.
<Yes, you learn quite quickly, not bad ... not bad ... > "Snow White Darkness" slowly answered.
< Before showing your little miracle, I have one question to which I need to get the answer> Stroph was silent for a while, but soon he took a slight breath and confidently said <How strong are you? I need to know.> Stroph wanted to know more about this strange and incredible coat.
<You can't understand now how strong I am, it's just beyond your imagination and understanding. But my strength doesn`t depend on myself, but on my partner, in this case it`s you. The stronger you are, the more power I can release. Anyway, I think you are lucky to travel with me.> His words were calm and easily penetrated into Stroph`s mind.
Stroph quickly answered him <I see, by the way, and where is your manner of speaking very slowly and with small pauses? You are now talking just like me>
<All depends on my mood, I don't see the point in talking like that just now>
Stroph nodded his head and decided to ask what "Snow White Darkness" meant
<What miracle do you want to show? I hope you're not going to kill them?>
<Don't worry, now you will see everything. I say at once, it`s possible just one time, only here and now, only because a huge amount of energy has gathered here. Look carefully>
After these words, three white belts rushed instantly to Richard, Anthony and Charles. They just hovered over them in the air, after which dark energy went on them, coming out of the coat itself. This energy enveloped their heads and after 10 seconds it almost completely disappeared and the belts returned to the place.
<What have you done now...?> Stroph was confused, he didn't understand what had happened now and whether they were all right.
<If in short, now for them you were always dressed like that and they wouldn't be surprised to see me, just say that the coffin was empty, and that's all> His voice was calm and creepy as always.
<You mean, you literally changed their memory in 10 seconds? Unbelievable ... > Stroph was shocked by such turn of events, is it so easy to rewrite the memory, for him it was something impossible.
After a couple of minutes, Stroph saw how everyone started to wake up. A small amount of energy that looked like dark smoke were still near their heads. And at the moment when each of them got back on their feet, only then it disappeared without a trace.
Stroph looked at them for some time, after which he heard a voice.
As if nothing had happened, Anthony calmly said: "Well, boy, is there anything useful there?"
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
