Swanto was unconscious while his system was buzzing with a lot of notifications appearing.
[ Ding! A foreign energy is invading the body of host. ]
[ Ding! Analyzing the nature of the energy. ]
[ Ding! Positive changes has been made in the body of host by this energy. ]
[ Ding! Sending body into hibernating state to fulfill the need of body to complete changes. ]
[ … ]

Swanto have been unaware of anything while young master made guards took Swanto to his room. Though guards wanted to question the reason behind but just one stare from young master made them give up on it.
Young master was looking at the Swanto lying on his head while he pressed his hand on his forehead while closing his eyes like he is doing something requiring the concentration.
"So, you have tired stealing my ability stone. How foolish? But, you do seem to have some unique potential and I will help you realize it so you can stand on humanity's side." Swanto said while analyzing the body of Swanto through mysterious means.
Young master took out red stone from the pillow and he chanted something which made stone flew in circle around the head of Swanto before slowly turning into red light which was dragged into Swanto's head.
[ Ding! Random blood ability stone is consumed. ]
[ Ding! Body of host now possess the weak talent of blood refining. ]
[ Ding! Ability will manifest after host reached a certain point in the blood refining. ]
Swanto was lying unconscious for six days now, young master have asked the lord to appoint Swanto as his direct subordinate instead of normal servant.
Many small changes were constantly taking place in his body. All nights, young master was observing the Swanto and sleep on one more bed he had arranged for himself.
Finally at seventh day, Swanto woke up with feeling that he had become a little light in weight and some sort of shackles are released. Swanto saw at his body and shirt were gone, and he was only wearing pants. All the bed was wet while his body was filled with sweat.
'Wait, did young master did something weird with me? Is he into men? Woah, god please save from this.'
Before Swanto could run his head in any more of ring direction, he heard footsteps of someone approaching toward where he is.
Swanto lied back while acting like he is unconscious.
It was young master who arrived and sat on the chair next to bed on which Swanto is laying.
"Swanto, I helped you get talent but everything ahead will require your own time and efforts. I think I should arrange some food soon as changes in his body seemed to have stopped." Young master glanced over the body of Swanto which was now too skinny and look like he would die anytime soon from starvation and dehydration, but it was just body consuming all the needed energy from body to keep up with changes happening.
Young master left.
Swanto have heard everything young master Kai Lester just said. He have now gotten the ideas that somehow he have attention of this person and he caused the talent of blood refining to awaken inside him through some means.
Swanto now noticed that panel is showing the sign of unread notifications which have now piled up to 99+.
Taking a lot of time, Swanto gleaned information from all that notifications and got specially shocked about the ability. He was glad that he have obtained such opportunity and did what he had did or otherwise he may have missed such chance coming his way.
But now it will all be worth nothing if he can't have method of practicing the blood refining which is strictly controlled method in family of lord or lords of other cities. Though he have expectation that young master Kai might allow him to have practice if he felt I am diligent and loyal enough.
Handing out such precious and strong thing to a ungrateful person can be costly.

Swanto have been recovering from that energy loss while his work is removed and given to other servant. He got to know that he is placed as a direct subordinate under young master.
His lifestyle and health have improved greatly since he have gotten up from that unconscious state. Swanto was now training basics of swordsmanship on training place with some weight training.
His body kept improving and it have reached a where that energy loss was coming in his way to improve any further because that energy loss left a weakness in his legs that does not improve after certain pot t despite training or great food consumption.
His swordsmanship which was a little clumsy at first was now in working condition where he can make swings without loosing balance, of course his sword light one two handed sword instead of being big, burly and heavy one like those guards have.
Days kept passing and soon it was day when at night it would red blood moon when monsters would invade them from other world. Many other servant who was hating on Swanto for living a good life was dancing in joy ( Metaphorical ) because now Swanto would sent to the battlefield where trained people, blood refiners and criminals fight to secure the safety of the city.
Swanto was afraid but he was also eager to see what kind of monsters these are and can he achieve something if he is randomly made to born as that monster, and what advantages would he have then compared to humans.
"Swanto, this is your first battle so try to use shield more than sword to negate their attacks because most of their are laced with strong poison which is impossible to cure by current means." Kai said to Swanto before picking two light weight swords in his both hands along with getting five sharp needle like things that he had put in pocket on his belt.
Swanto was not sure why is he using two swords when he had trained with one heavy sword instead.
