Once the Veil of Thousand skins was fully covering Arthur, he felt the surroundings change and he appeared in the familiar empty space. 

Only a single notification window floated in front of him.

>Veil of Thousand Skins has been activated. Please choose your new appearance<

Hundreds of names appeared in a list in front of Arthur along with their appearance to the side. Arthur could switch the name to take a look at the appearance.

'Not these ones. I'll be making a custom one.' Arthur thought to himself. 

But just as he was about to look for the custom option, a thought appeared to him.

"Hmm… Search for the preset Grey Watcher." Arthur said just in case.

~DING~

——

<Target Found>

Name: Grey Watcher 

Race: Half- Shadow Elf

Class: Elven Assassin 

——

"Huh? Didn't think it would actually exist." Arthur was surprised.

While his Online name was relatively common, he didn't think a game character would have the something similar to that. 

"How does it have the same name though?" Arthur couldn't help but wonder. 

After all, his name was more like a title than a direct name. And from what he remembered elves had different kinds of name. 

'Though this is a half Shadow Elf… they were relatively rare.' He thought before an idea appeared. "Can I… Dragon's Insight!" Arthur used the skill for more information.

>The difference between the player and the item is vast! Dragon's Insight has partially succeeded!<

'At least its gonna give something more to me.' Arthur thought and looked at the new window that had appeared.

~DING~

——

Name: Grey Watcher 

Race: Half- Shadow Elf

Class: Elven Assassin

Info: Born from an enslaved Shadow Elf, Grey Watcher lived a life of despair and pain. Owned by a cruel yet strong aristocrat master, he could only obey his commands and do as he said. Having lived as a slave for three hundred years and serving several generations, he sought freedom.

The Trickster Who Likes Plays discovered him and offered him a bargain for freedom and revenge. Grey Watcher accepted it and achieved what he had sought. But the power came at a cost and ended up with his own demise. He gained freedom for a bare moment, with the Trickster owning him after his demise.

Reading the new window that had appeared, Arthur couldn't help but gulp. 

'I knew that Loki isn't one to be easily trusted… guess this guy fell to his tricks too. Though if they knew that the Trickster Who Likes Plays is really the god Loki, they might rethink their every decision.' Arthur thought deeply, taking this as a warning for himself.

Still, the disguise was tempting for Arthur. It could make him appear even more mysterious and make others mistaken.

Though there were doubts that he still had.

'There's no way I would get the class right?' Arthur checked the information section on the window.

~DING~

——

<Picking a preset disguise would only provided the user with a class that is cosmetic in nature. The player would not have any of the class's original skills and abilities.

The player would also not have any equipment of that class.>

——

"Sure enough… but having it as a cosmetic class is still excellent. I can fool them with ease." Arthur smiled as making a custom disguise only presented Arthur with some basic class options.

Grey Watcher was an Elven Assassin which was an exclusive class for elves of all types. In order to obtain it, an elf with the thief class needed to upgrade it.

It was similar to the normal assassin class, but came with a few additional bonuses depending on the elven racial traits.

"This'll work. They won't know the class details anyway for a long time." Arthur reckoned.

He even had the Sneak Skill which would work in his favor in selling the authenticity of Grey Watcher. Of course, all this was just extra security for Arthur.

"Confirm Grey Watcher as a disguise!" Arthur commanded.

~shua~

In the next second, Arthur's avatar twitched and spasmed while its skin started to rapidly shift. Soon, he had transformed into a new avatar.

He was still wearing the Ember Bellow Set, but his build underneath it was a lot smaller. Most of the elves had slender bodies and it was the same for Shadow Elves. 

While half-shadow elves could have slightly bigger bodies, it could still pass off for a human when covered with an armor. Underneath the armor though, Arthur looked a lot different. His looks had become androgynous and he had short jet black hair. 

His skin on the other hand bordered between a slate Grey and black, the tone varying across his body. It was also one of the tell tale sign that he was a 'half' - shadow elf. 

A full blooded Shadow Elf would have fully black skin.

Arthur's eyes also turned black, with white iris looking not that different from a normal human. His ears though took on a pointed appearance which was characteristic of elves. 

But in addition to that, he was also wearing a few studs in his ear which was not something most elves did as their ears were sacred to them. 

"Now to change." Arthur left the alley and went to a nearby merchant that sold clothes.

He quickly bought some basic equipment that would fit him and make him look like a thief. He also got a headgear that fully covered his face, leaving only his eyes bare.

'This should be fine.' Arthur equipped it all in another secluded place, and took a look at the status window.

He wore a dark brown shirt along with similar colored pants. Both of these were just made from cloth and provided basically no defense.

The armor he wore though was light leather armor that thieves would use. It had been dyed black and provided slight stealth bonus.

Then there was his headgear which was just a black cowl and cloth wrap.

"Now to just meet Rain…"
