*1st Pov*
How should I distribute my 60 attribute points? Should I focus more on strength or agility? To defeat Muzan, I would need both agility and strength, but I could die if I have a pitiful constitution and get hit.
(Note: Speed changes to Agility, Durability to Constitution)
I'll prioritize agility with my 60 attribute points. Allocating 20 to agility, 8 to strength, 10 to dexterity, 8 to constitution, 6 to intelligence, 4 to wisdom, and 4 to charm should suffice.
I hope this distribution won't lead to an imbalanced physique, especially crucial when facing Muzan.
I'm uncertain about the specific uses of wisdom and intelligence in enhancing my abilities, but I understand they likely affect energy consumption or mana in RPG games.
With that settled, I'll proceed with the distribution. In life, I believe that investing wisely is key to success.
*3rd Pov*
As soon as Tanjiro distributed the attribute points, the effect on his body was exhilarating. He felt like a completely new person, several times stronger than any normal human.
Now, he moved 21 times faster and perceived time 21 times slower than an average human.
His mind became clearer and more capable of processing thoughts, though he didn't acquire skills like parallel thinking or eidetic memory.
However, he developed something akin to eidetic memory, instantly recalling nearly every recent experience but unable to access deeply buried memories.
He also began to feel an energy with every breath, a sensation he hadn't noticed before.
It seemed like a natural force, nourishing every cell and muscle, coursing through his body and enhancing his overall physique.
Luckily, there were no changes in his appearance, just a slight reduction in body fat.
Where Tanjiro was likable before, he now possessed such charm that he could compete in modeling competitions and likely win first place.
Tanjiro decided to check the changes in his status. He wanted to see how his attributes had been affected by the distribution of his points.

It seemed that Tanjiro would slowly gain more and more power. It was also the first time he noticed his HCP (Hyper Cognitive Mastery) was at level 1.
He hadn't checked this when he bought the perk, but it seemed he could also upgrade perks, which was perfect.
Despite the option to upgrade, he decided not to become overpowered immediately. After all, there was still some time before Muzan would appear.
Tanjiro chose not to upgrade the HCP. Instead, he planned that when he turned three years old, he would begin training his swordsmanship.
Tanjiro decided to travel to Mount Sagiri to learn the Water Breathing Style, known for its fluid, flowing movements that mimic the adaptability and flexibility of water.
While he could have chosen to learn other breathing styles such as Thunder, Flame, Stone, or Wind Breathing from different mentors, his priority was to become a demon slayer first.
To achieve this goal, he needed to go to Mount Sagiri and meet Urokodaki Sakonji. Urokodaki was not only the Hashira of Water Breathing but also the mentor of Giyu Tomioka, the future Water Hashira.
If Tanjiro were to go to Mount Sagiri and become an apprentice of Urokodaki Sakonji at the age of 5, Giyu would be 11 years old.
Currently, Giyu is still 7 years old in the storyline, likely training at Mount Sagiri or somewhere else in the world, cherishing his childhood moments.
It's been quite some time since Tanjiro last read Demon Slayer, and even though he read all of it, he can't recall most of the minor details, only the important ones.
Despite his improved memory, there are still limitations to what he can retain.
For now, Tanjiro's primary focus was to be a good son to his parents. Despite being the only Tanjiro and not inheriting the memories of the original host, he didn't want to simply mimic his predecessor's personality or rely solely on inherent advantages.
Instead, he aspired to forge his own identity as a unique Tanjiro. He aimed to use his newfound abilities to positively impact people's lives and make a difference through his actions.
With his goals set firmly in mind—to have a complete family, to become the strongest in the Demon Slayer world, and to travel the omniverse—Tanjiro was determined to forge his own path. He aimed to use his abilities to bring kindness and goodness to those who deserved it.
With confidence, Tanjiro stepped outside his house and leaped far away, ready to embark on his journey towards achieving his ambitions.
With his newfound agility, Tanjiro swiftly reached a safe distance where he could shout as loudly as he wanted without being heard by Tanjuro and Kei.
"I WILL BECOME THE MOST POWERFUL BEING IN THE WORLD! MARK MY WORDS! FOR I, TANJIRO KAMADO, WILL ACHIEVE MY GOAL OF HELPING THOSE WHO DESERVE MY KINDNESS!"
With that shout, even in his toddler voice, it felt as if the world had heard Tanjiro's conviction. The wind blew fiercely, the ground shook, and birds chirped in the middle of the night, seemingly acknowledging his resolve before everything returned to normal.
Tanjiro smiled lightly after his declaration. He felt a weight lift from his spirit, sensing a bright future ahead.
From now on, Tanjiro would become both feared and respected—a figure whose mighty fists punished evildoers and whose radiant kindness earned worship from those around him.
Satisfied with his determination, Tanjiro returned home and fell asleep with a beautiful smile on his face.

"You are truly kind, Aamon. Despite your name being associated with Aamon, known as the marquis of hell, you are indeed kind. I hope you stay strong in your convictions, my child." Smiling lightly, a ball of light glanced at Aamon, now known as Tanjiro Kamado, with gentleness.
.

Morning arrived with the rooster crowing, birds fluttering to find seeds and worms, trees gently swaying in the breeze that stirred the Kamado Family awake.
Tanjuro was the first to awaken, followed by Kei. Tanjiro, still feeling tired from the previous night despite his newfound strength that allowed him to defeat an adult with a single punch, remained in bed.
As Tanjuro woke up, he noticed a change in his eyesight—his vision was clearer than ever before. Glancing at Kei, he observed a remarkable transformation: her body was gradually transforming from flesh to veins, and then to organs.
It came as a surprise to Tanjuro, almost prompting him to shout in astonishment. However, he managed to hold back to avoid disturbing the children. When Kei looked at him, she couldn't contain her shock and ended up shouting herself.
" Kyaaa! Tanjuro what happened to you!? Why can I see you... " Before she could even complete her sentence, her red lips turned purple, and her whole face drained of color, becoming pale white. Kei fainted, but Tanjuro reacted quickly, catching her before she fell.
Her sudden shout was enough to startle baby Nezuko. Tanjuro gently laid Kei down and picked up Nezuko to comfort her.
' What just happened? Why can I see Kei's insides? And why can she see it too? From what I heard from Father, there's a history passed down to us about this. It's called the Transparent World, where you can see inside a human. The way to obtain it involves intense training in something called a breathing style.
But I don't think I've trained in that so-called breathing style. All I know is dancing—a ritual passed down in our family to worship the Sun God. '
Tanjuro was certain he wasn't qualified to unlock such skills, yet now Kei appeared to have unlocked them too.
Unbeknownst to Tanjiro, because he shared his power with them, any upgrades to his perks, techniques, skills, and abilities automatically updated for those he shared with. It was a detail he hadn't asked the system about or considered significant.
Now, Tanjuro, Kei, and even Nezuko have unlocked the Transparent World and the Demon Slayer Mark—achievements typically unlocked by maintaining a heart rate over 200 beats per minute and a body temperature above 39 degrees Celsius.
Because of the unique properties of Sun Breathing, it easily raised their body temperature and heart rate, meeting the initial requirements for the Demon Slayer Mark (DSM).
Having achieved maximum mastery in Sun Breathing and Hyper Cognitive Mastery, coupled with the inherent purpose of Sun Breathing to combat demons—especially the Progenitor of demons, Muzan—they naturally acquired the abilities associated with the DSM. This fulfilled all the necessary conditions for them to acquire the DSM.
Additionally, with Tanjiro unlocking the DSM and Transparent World (TW) near them and through the system, they effortlessly obtained one of the most challenging skills to acquire.
After a few minutes of chaos, Tanjiro finally woke up to see Tanjuro holding little Nezuko and fanning Kei, who seemed to have passed out. Concerned, he immediately checked her condition with the Transparent World (TW) before sighing in relief.
He looked at his father, and Tanjuro also noticed his gaze, smiling lightly and beckoning him to come closer. Tanjiro crawled out of bed and walked over, sitting down next to his father with Kei's head on his lap.
"Tanjiro, have you noticed anything unusual happening to you? Like seeing things you shouldn't normally see?" Tanjuro asked his calm son, who nodded cheerfully and replied, "I see something moving inside you, Father. But why is your neck different from Mother's?" Tanjiro spoke with perfect pronunciation, something Kei and Tanjuro already knew.
"Different? How do you mean, Tanjiro?" Tanjuro asked, puzzled by Tanjiro's statement.
Tanjiro looked intently at Tanjuro, knowing that his father wouldn't be familiar with tuberculosis, a disease caused by harmful bacteria transmitted through the air when infected people cough, sneeze, or spit. So, Tanjiro decided to draw what he saw to help Tanjuro understand. Grabbing a piece of charcoal, Tanjiro sketched out his observations and showed it to Tanjuro, who still seemed a bit confused despite the accurate drawing.
Gradually, Tanjiro noticed that the lungs in the drawing appeared to be slowly recovering before disappearing completely. He attributed this to the healing effects of Sun Breathing or the Demon Slayer Mark (DSM) on his father's health.
Tanjiro wasn't entirely sure if it was Sun Breathing that helped Tanjuro recover, but he was relieved that the treatment seemed to have worked.
"Father, look! Your neck looks just like Mother's now!" Tanjiro exclaimed, hurriedly drawing a perfectly healthy pair of lungs and showing it to Tanjuro, who carefully examined both drawings.
