After Blanca left, Shin had a lot of time. Yes, instead of wasting it, he immediately started thinking about a topic that had been bugging him.
*gulp*
'Is this really the right thing to do…?'
*Ding*
[ You have used the skill Necromancy ]
The moment he used the skill and imagined an undead appearing before him, a large Boar made out of the smoke with green shining eyes appeared out of the darkness near the trees.
*gulp*
'I ended up making him an undead, but what if he levels up and gets revived?', Shin asked himself as he looked at its three distinct stats.
[ Name: Avan ]
[ Levels to completely regain powers: 1/10 ]
[ Levels to revive: 1/100 ]
Shin understood this only after looking at the stats.
This undead particularly had a name – Avan. That was because, once a being is named, the name gets imprinted or engraved to the soul.
Since Necromancy is basically pulling the soul out of the darkness and giving them a temporary body, their name would still be attached to their souls.
Shin had turned Avan into an undead too because he didn't want to waste an opportunity of getting a strong subordinate.
But yes, even now, nothing more than these three stats could be seen.
He couldn't see what the skills the undead could use, nor could he see their attack power and defenses. Well, only their HP was visible after all.
[ HP: 100/100 ]
Also, there was something else Shin observed in the undead Avan.
The number of levels required for him to regain all his powers was twice as much as others. On the contrary, only half of the total level was required for him to revive.
'Hmm, I wonder what decides the stats in the undead.'
Literally, there seemed only a few differences between Avan and other boars. One – he was much stronger than them with a higher level almost reaching 100. Two – he lived much longer than all of them.
Blanca soon returned while Shin was thinking.
"Here master, I've hunted a Smoll Deer for you.", Blanca said.
"Small deer?", Shin asked.
"Yes.", Blanca replied.
It was a deer with yellowish-brown fur. Shin started eating.
"Wow!"
"What's with this taste?"
The deer was especially tasty. For someone who enjoyed eating a lot of beasts in the past, this was definitely one of the best that he had.
He immediately looked at its stats but soon realized that all it stated was '<Dead>'.
Of course, all he could see was its type too.
[ Smoll Deer ]
He realized that Blanca was talking about the Deer's name instead of its size because it was as large as any other average deer.
Regardless, Shin kept eating it when suddenly he had the urge of looking at Blanca's status.

His MP was a little less since he had used some amount to hunt the Smoll Deer. Also, a lot of it was being consumed because of the long-activated skill Void Tiger Spirit.
Although Shin couldn't actually see it, he knew what it was called as Blanca mentioned it.
Yes, Blanca was already a part of the clan and thus the rank had been raised yet again but this time, by a lot!
[ Clan name: Lou Shin ]
[ Clan Leader: Shin ]
[ Clan Vice-Leader: <not appointed> ]
[ Clan Ranking: 499 ]
[ Clan Power: 10 ]
[ Clan Members: 5748 ]
The clan members count had increased by 1 and the same was true with clan power. Whereas for ranking, they were in the top 500 right now.
Whatever, the reason why Shin wanted to see Blanca's stats was that he suspected something.
He then asked the system, 'Yo, could you show me Avan's old stats?'
[ Profile ]
[ Name: Avan (Male: 78 years) ] [ Race: Level 93 Scrofa ( Exp 73.19%) ]
[ Boar King ]

-< cannot be shown due to the host's low level >-
These were the stats that was recorded last time by the system. Of course, Shin could summon and look at the stats history as well. It was within the capabilities of the system.
But yes, he was not just simply acting on a whim. After thorough speculation, he noticed a similarity between Blanca's and Avan's stats.
Yes, it was their ranks.
=
[ Great White Tiger Monarch ]
[ Rank: SS || Max. rank: SSS+ ]
=
[ Boar King ]
[ Rank: S || Max. rank: SSS ]
=
These were their ranks. When Shin took a look at his own rank, he realized what made a huge difference.
=
[ Wolf Lord ]
[ Rank: A || Max. rank: SSS+ ]
=
Yes, the system had been telling that Shin couldn't see the stats because of his low level. But when he looked at Avan's stats, he realized that Raka and even Terran were of similar levels earlier.
So it was not necessarily the levels that made the difference!
Yes, what made the difference was Rank!
Because Shin had a lower rank when compared to other stronger beasts, he couldn't look at their profile.
'Maybe that is also a reason why I couldn't look at the profiles of those Apes…', Shin thought after which, he gave a death glare at the system screen that was showing Avan's stats.
"…"
'What do you have to say in this matter, system?'
'Is my conclusion wrong?', he asked the system.
Blanca was nervous because of the death glare that Shin was giving. Of course, he was doing that to the system, but for Blanca, it was as if he was doing it to the air.
'Is it really right to trust him with myself and my family?', Blanca asked himself.
"…"
