"It will take two hours for the Assembly kit to get forged, it'll be better if I buy another knowledge from the shop and gain a third subclass for the advancement quest.

"

nStill lost in his thoughts, Arnold opened the and started going through the knowledges once again. He was looking for a class that would help to upgrade his creationist abilities. But sadly the didn't had any knowledge that would help him accomplish this task.

n

"Tsk. Looks like creationist would be a money consuming class for now.

" Arnold shook his head,

"If I can't find another subclass to help my creationist abilities, I think I should get a subclass that would enhance my combat capabilities. Having couple of more skills and abilities wouldn't be a bad idea. Let's see... how about the BLOODMAGE?

"

n_________________________

nBLOODMAGE : The basic knowledge required by who wish to enhance their combat capabilities which can be upgraded over time. This subclass of is known for its destructive and bloody nature. The power of this subclass increases by spilling more and more blood of your enemies. Buying this knowledge also unlocks the abilities BLOOD NECROMANCY using this skill would also take a bit of your HP so use it in moderation.

nBLOOD NECROMANCY : (Active ability) Basic ability for subclass. This ability allows the user to capture a target's abilities by using the it's blood. You'll require a to extract an ability from the target's blood. One can only be used once. The number of skills and abilities that would get extracted depends on the level of ability and the amount of target's blood used. If you use this skill, You won't be able to use any type of HP potion for the next 3 hours to recover your lost HP.

nREMARK : Only your summons and automatons can use the blood runes to permanently gain these abilities. Using the on yourself would not have any effect and the would get destroyed.

n_________________________

nThe subclass was very useful indeed but then it was shrouded in mystery as well. Arnold really liked the BLOOD NECROMANCY skill, it essentially meant that if he had sufficient amount of blood, he could technically transform his summons and automatons into one of his enemies or allies but he'd have to do it secretly as he doubted anyone would be pleased know that he was going around copying their abilities, not to mention he would have to obtain their blood first. The other drawback was that it would cost him his own HP to use this ability but the cost wasn't much. It should be alright if he used it in moderation as the system had told him to.

n

"Would this work with a monsters and dungeon bosses though? It should, after all they have abilities as well as blood.

"

nArnold thought about this for a little while longer and then decided to buy the knowledge.

n

"If you really want to help me system-sama, then could you get rid of the advancement quests for me?

" Arnold laughed.

nThere was no response from the system, but Arnold pretty much expected this. The system never responded to any of his weird requests because if it did, then Arnold would already be the world's strongest warrior.

nArnold opened the tab and selected the blueprint.

n_________________________

n

"That's pretty fast...

" Arnold smiled.

nTwenty seconds passed in a flash and soon Arnold had a grey stone in his hands. The stone had blood red engravings on it that were written in a weird language which Arnold didn't knew. He used his PROBE skill on it.

"I wonder what type of ability would be generated from my blood?

" He mumbled.
