Shine

## Appearance

At the age of fourteen he was already over 180 cm tall and his skin was unusually pale. Being tall and strong along with his handsome appearance resulted in an exotic charm comparable to a fairy of darkness. (Ch 176)

## Background

In the Game :

* He was born in the dungeon city of Sheridan. Once spring, while he was 11 years of age, he lost his parents during the massive dungeon reflux. The orphan was sold in a slave market. Foreign mercenaries bought him for a very low price, and thus started his unfortunate childhood of trouble and getting inside dungeons.
* The Silent K/Night, the strongest assassin, ranking within the Top 5 of the strongest characters in the Yo-Ma Great War

## History

Shine was orphaned early in his life during a dungeon backflow. Being born as a 'Rookie' he was too weak to survive on his own. Knowing this fact, he sold himself into slavery for a chance to survive. In the slave market he was assigned to share a room with Belois who he initially did not recognize for a girl. High-stress environment of the slave marker resulted in both him and Belois being the favourite punching-bags of other children. Bought as a slave by Evan D. Sherden. Later he and Belois were comforted by Evan and he was told that he had a talent.

The day his parents died and left him alone in the world, Shine had two desires. To survive and avenge his parents’ deaths. In the game, he was known for his hatred for monsters.

## Abilities

**Double Swordsmanship**

**Cheonan**

* One of two skills that the butler had intensively taught Shine. He was trained to be able to acquire a lot of information through both his eyes at once so that he could understand and cope with the situation at any time. In other words, when it came to transcendental vision, Shine was someone they could count on.

**Youngshin**

* Another ability the butler had taught him.

**Christina's Blessing**

* Existence level and skill growth rate are increased by 10%.

**Blood Bird**

* The moment Shine was recognized as the Master of Twin Blood daggers, a skill was engraved in his soul. It grants the ability to move faster and restore stamina as more blood is continuously absorbed by the dagger. It’s a skill that is perfect for a combat style specializing in one against many.

**Rookie Training Act**

* The Rookie Training Act was a unique skill dedicated to effectively educate, correct, and strengthen the Rookies born in a state where their body’s balance was distorted.

**Magi Resistance**

* Grants resistance to Magi, the mana of demons.

**Shadow Dagger**

* It was a skill that could only be learned by the owner of a dagger-type weapon, and it was one of the attack assisting skills, which was particularly high-ranking among the countless other skills that appeared in the Yo-Ma Great War series.
* An assist skill that unconditionally doubles the damage of every blow
* A dagger made of shadow would appear and hover around the dagger you were holding when you activated this skill. It attacked the enemy with the same amount of force as the original dagger.
* It was used as a one-shot skill and had a long delay, but it was still a very good ability to inflict damage at a crucial moment in the battle as it couldn’t be used with other active skills. It could only be applied to help increase the damage of the dagger attacks.

**Red Dragon's Breath**

* 5% increase in all stats, correction to occupational and weapon skills. Acquired after eating Yu Bain's Perfectly Cooked Dragon Steak.

## Artifacts

**Twin Blood→Twin Bloodhorn**

* Twin Blood - Twin daggers, one black one red.

* Twin Bloodhorn - A dual dagger artifact created by Evan and Horta by combining the blood scimitar, EB metal, and Shine’s original artifacts with the absorbed the Devil Runes. It was created by reprocessing the scimitar, which was strengthened by drinking blood, and the power of the Devil Rune it absorbed. It was a result of Evan’s ability to separate, process, and put the Devil Rune into the weapon completely, so anyone who wasn’t resistant to Magi couldn’t handle it. Shine had to train Magi Resistance to a level rivaling Evan’s to extract the weapon’s power. The hilt is remade with dragon bone in chapter 305. It grows stronger by absorbing the Blood Crystals dropped by Demons. It is strengthened once again in chapter 381 by absorbing the Phoenix's Blood Crystal. Increases strength, and grants the Phoenix's regenerative trait.

**Ghost Bracelet**

* A silver bracelet adorned with obsidian that increases movement speed and attack speed by 15%. Initially considered not good enough for 'final equipment' but still serviceable until 60th floor of the dungeon but was then upgraded by housing the ghost of Christina, who died in Yo-Ma Great War 2. By leveling up in the dungeon Christina has learned telekinesis and shadow manipulation.

**Astray Knights Cloak**

A stylish red full-body cape that emphasized unity. Compared to the female design, the men’s capes were bigger and sharper. It's made out of dragon leather, and has the Astray logo on the back. Created by Ottpah.

* Defense - Being made out of dragon leather, the cloak boasts tremendous defensive capabilities.

* Hardening - By injecting a small amount of mana, the cloak becomes harder and sharper.

* Volume Control - Depending how much mana is used, it is possible to increase or decrease the size of the cloak. Combined with Hardening, it is possible to create a large, nigh-impenetrable wall.

* Hood - When the hood is worn, it's possible to create a magical shield that protects the entire face. It also has visual aids.

## Trivia

* Terribly afraid of ghosts (first shown during ghost easter egg in chapter 52)
