Chapter 9 - Trait

Leo's heart raced as he stared at the bag containing six small tubes, each filled with a different colored liquid.

His eyes shimmered with excitement, and a smile crept onto his face. "Finally, the moment I've been waiting for," he muttered to himself.

Quickly sitting down on the floor, Leo crossed his legs and took out the first tube containing the blood of a [G Realm] monster. With trembling hands, he downed the liquid in one gulp, his excitement at its peak.

A surge of heat and pain coursed through his veins as he finished drinking. Although the process was familiar, this time, the sensations were more intense, pushing him to the brink of endurance. But there was no immediate change in his [Status] screen.

Undeterred, Leo proceeded to consume the blood of four more [G Realm] monsters, hoping to unlock new abilities. However, with each attempt, his [Status] remained unchanged.

Leo's eyebrows furrowed with disappointment, but he quickly regained his composure. "I can't depend on buying these blood samples. If I want more abilities, I have to earn them," he told himself firmly.

Taking a deep breath, Leo set his sights on the final bottle - the blood of an [F Realm] monster. This time, he hesitated for a moment, knowing the pain would be even more excruciating.

Summoning his determination, he gulped down the liquid, and immediately, his body was engulfed in searing heat and agony. It felt like his very Mana Core was being tested. Enduring the pain, he silently persevered.

After what felt like an eternity, the pain finally subsided, leaving Leo's body sore and drenched in sweat. As he checked his [Status] screen again, his eyes widened in astonishment.

Leo's heart swelled with joy. He had gained a Trait.Getting Trait was not a average thing. One has to posses exeptional capabilities, and also the recognition from the mysterious System , to have a Trait section in you [Status] screen.

The [Regeneration] Trait had evolved from Getting devouring the healing capabilities of numerous monsters, each with exceptional regenerative abilities.

Overwhelmed with happiness, Leo couldn't help but laugh in disbelief. "I actually got a Trait! This is unbelievable!" he exclaimed, basking in his accomplishment.

With newfound confidence, Leo knew he had to continue his quest for more abilities. Drinking the blood of monsters wasn't just a means to power; it was a path to discovering his true potential.

Rising to his feet, Leo smiled determinedly. "I still haven't tried the main course of tonight's dinner," he said, holding up the last vial containing the blood of another [F Realm] monster.

Without hesitation, he drank it down, knowing the pain would be unlike anything he had experienced before. But he was ready for it.

As the burning sensation surged through his body, Leo gritted his teeth and persevered. The agony this time involved even his Mana Core, making it excruciatingly challenging to endure.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the pain subsided, and Leo collapsed on the ground, utterly drained. As he glanced at his [Status] screen one last time, he couldn't help but smile triumphantly.
