"*Sigh*..."

A young man, next to a large bag, sat alone on a small wooden table.

He recalled a dark memory, a monster that looked like a black fog had appeared and his companions were dead soon after.

He was collecting monster cores for the party, as his role was a porter, when suddenly he heard a scream.

He turned the corner, and all he saw was an ominous, black mist. By then he had assumed the worst, his companions were trapped in there and were most likely dead meat. He remembered running as fast as he could.

His Adventurer's badge had a small, glowing blue stone embedded in its center. There were 5 other smaller stones surrounding the blue one. 3 of them used to be green. All of them are now gray.

He had already reported to the Guild, but he was now helpless with no fighting ability and no party to support him.

{Porter}
"How am I supposed to get a steady income without them..."

Then, a beautiful woman wearing a white jacket with green stripes, a red shirt, and a long black skirt underneath approached him.

{Receptionist}
"I'm sorry about your party members. The Guild-master set up a subjugation quest for that Wraith-"

{Porter}
"So it was a Wraith, huh..."

{Receptionist}
"...Yeah. Wraiths are usually very weak, and are very uncommon, so they are rated F+. However, if a Wraith has a skill that involves a Scythe, they can be devastating to cross. Even more so if said Wraith has many negative elemental affinities... About that, how dark was it?"

{Porter}
"Pitch black."

{Receptionist}
"...Excuse me?"

{Porter}
"It was Pitch black. So dark that even looking at it felt like my soul was getting sucked in."

{Receptionist}
"...This is really bad."

{Porter}
"Hm?"

{Receptionist}
"Erm, sir. Do you know what the color of a Wraith usually is?"

{Porter}
"No, why?"

{Receptionist}
"Remember how i said that Wraiths are dangerous with numerous negative affinities?"

{Porter}
"...Yeah?"

{Receptionist}
"A normal Wraith is actually light gray. The more darker it is, the more negative affinities it has."

{Porter}
"...So how many negative elemental affinities does a pitch black one have?"

{Receptionist}
"... All 4."

{Porter}
"4? I thought there were only 2?"

{Receptionist}
"No. There is 4. The most well known ones to us is Dark and Void. However, There are two more forgotten elements."

{Porter}
"...Which are..?"

{Receptionist}
"Soul."

{Porter}
"A-and?"

{Receptionist}
"...th."

{Porter}
"Excuse me?"

{Receptionist}
". . . Death."
