{Congrats, you have leveled up to level 35. Two Free Points have been awarded to you and your stats have been updated.}

{You have earned the inherent skill, Partial Shift.}

My jaw drops open at the sheer volume of levels and SP that I got from this one fight. Not to mention the new inherent skill.

The System is very clearly warning me about risking my life, but how can it really do that when its giving out such a nice reward at the exact same time? Its just hypocritical. Like someone slapping someone on the wrist for something then handing them a stack of cash with their other hand.

Are you complaining? Tar asks, tilting his head.

Hell no, I answer immediately before opening my status and slowly distributing my free points. First starting slowly with five points to my mental stat to bring it back up a bit.

My head begins to ache, but nowhere near as badly as my nerves hurt last time. Which Im guessing is a combination of the fact that I put it in mental, and that Im putting in less points this time.

Then after the pain fades away completely, I put in another five points to mental, leaving me with 14 points left.

The pain returns, making me go over to the bed and lie down again.

I repeat this process from the safety of my very comfortable bed over the course of the next several minutes, putting in four points to physical, four to magical, and the remaining six in mental. Then I focus on my status, looking at the massive difference between now and earlier.

Holy shit thats a lot.

Wait a second.

I glance down at my fist before clenching and unclenching it. Then I turn to Tar who is currently floating around my room as I ask, Why dont I need to adjust much to the new strength I have from the System?

Because the System isnt changing your body per se, its changing how your body is. What it is to reality. Meaning in your head, as long as you balance out your stats, nothing out of the ordinary has happened to your body, he answers while stopping in the middle of my room.

Huh. Thats okay, this reality altering stuff really is quite confusing. But I guess it doesnt really matter in the end. As long as Im growing stronger.

Well, anyways, I focus on the descriptions of Blood Siphon, Life drain, Partial Shift, and Blood Sacrifice, and the System tells me their descriptions back to back.

{Blood Siphon - Allows the user to drain the blood of nearby creatures and use it for various purposes, including transfusing the users or others blood or using the blood for the users skills to substitute 50% of the required blood the user would have to personally use.}

{Life Drain - Allows the user to drain the life energy of nearby creatures into themselves and others, healing them in the process. Costs mana to use.}

{Partial Shift Allows the user to transform a single hand or foot into that of a beast for a significant and one time price of mana each use.}

{Blood Sacrifice - A sacrificial skill that allows the user to burn their own blood in order to get a temporary boost in their physical capabilities. The more blood burned, the stronger the boost will be.}

My grin just continues growing wider and wider with each description I read. Especially the new partial shift skill.

Looks like blood siphon can substitute enemies blood into any of my skills now, hopefully including blood sacrifice. Life drain can use the life energy to heal others instead of only myself. If I remember the skill correctly from when I first looked at it, blood sacrifice at level 5 is able to burn more and more of my blood at a faster pace for a better boost. Like I was doing in the fight against the wraith.

And partial shift.

That new inherent skill is your first blood lycan specific skill youve gotten, Tar explains, making my grin widen even further. But dont worry. There are plenty of shapeshifting skills out there, so no one should be able to easily link it to a blood lycan. Unless you find a blood lycan or a noble demon, in which case you already have bigger problems to deal with.

Yeah. A blood lycan should be able to tell what I am without much trouble, and a noble demon will be able to kill me with a flick of its finger.

Much bigger problems than simply recognizing one of my skills.

Anyways, time to go check out the skills store. Since Im sure it has some very nice skills for me to obtain.
