"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.

"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?

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.

"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.

"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.

"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.

nAs Arnold read through the description, a weird idea popped up in his mind.
n
"I wonder what type of ability would be generated from my blood?
" He mumbled.
