[Congratulations! You got 200 XP from killing Miner Monkey Level 5!]

[Congratulations! You got 200 XP from killing Miner Monkey Level 5!]

[Congratulations! You got 200 XP from killing Miner Monkey Level 5!]

[Congratulations! You have risen from level 6>7!]

[You got 3 attribute points!]

Abell didn't miss the chance and immediately put his 3 attribute points into magic, feeling the power flow through his entire body, a truly ecstatic sensation. He also felt something changing inside him, he didn't know what happened first, but soon he noticed a system notification, naturally surprised he watched it carefully.

[Congratulations! By reaching 10 points in MAG you unlocked a quirk called Innate Magic Circuit!]

[Congratulations! Two of your attributes reached 10 points on your second day of life and because of that you earned the title: Genius.]

[Genius: You get 10% more XP. You receive a 5% discount when purchasing skills.]

[Innate Magic Circuit: With this quirk you can finally connect your core mana into your own body, managing to easily conduct it throughout your body. Your abilities are strengthened by 20% when infused with mana and you can now learn magic. Despite giving her the ability to drive mana through her body as well as her abilities she is still very crude and clumsy, wasting a lot of energy in the use process.]

Miller was very happy to win both the title and the quirk that allowed him to use magic! In fact now he could upgrade his [Enhanced Echolocation] if he had enough bioenergy, his stats were basically like this:

Just a little longer and he'll hit the level cap, it got him excited, what would happen when he did? Despite this making him happy he still felt that all this was wrong after all this power came from the death of innocents and even after being modified by Humir the remorse for the dead still made the boy especially sad. Leaving that aside, the boy just went ahead along the path he chose for himself, he saved the bodies of the three primates and started walking with harsh steps, adapting to walking with four limbs was not very difficult, but he was still clumsy , at least a little bit. Not being hungry the boy simply kept on exploring, unfortunately he found a dead end and was forced to head back to the crossroads to take the right path. Now he should face four [Miner Monkeys], simple opponents in this new strength stage, because of his magic circuit he can infuse mana into his abilities making him extremely strong, without wasting time he just advanced on one of the monkeys, his claws did all the work tearing him apart, the only light came from his paws now infused with dark blue mana, it didn't take long to kill all four, it was basically a one-sided battle, Abell still hasn't found any enemies his height there and maybe not, during this fight he felt more excited than usual, a nauseating joy to kill, but he preferred to let it go, controlling himself can be difficult but he was giving it away. Again he kept the monkeys' bodies in the inventory, if it was like in games that space would be frozen in time so their flesh would not rot at all and the guide just confirmed this fact.

[It's like you're imagining, you can store anything you own in these inventory slots and it will be frozen in time. Ah, living things can't be put on it obviously!]

Not being surprised he just kept walking, honestly he only had two goals at the moment: Complete the mission and eventually get out of this place! Well, he would do it as quickly as possible. But he didn't have something growing inside him, his will to kill was increasing and he was at a point of no return, his bestial instincts took over the boy and engulfed all his senses, Humir's modifications made him much worse than he thought initially, it looked like the taste for killing had been placed inside him. With his conscience fading the last thing he heard was the screams of agony of the weak [Miner Monkeys].

Recovering from the pitch, he noticed the pungent smell of blood, around him the apes' bodies were piled up, there were even cubs piled between them... Abell couldn't stand it, he had felt from the beginning that something was wrong with him and it ended of finding out what it was: His inhibitions were lifted, his thoughts took shape and eventually consumed him to that point. It was as if every moment he was being bullied, the thoughts of anger, the cruelest thoughts he'd ever had, had merged into something unique in that moment. Destroyed, that moment had simply blown away Miller and he asked himself a question: "Is this real? I can't have turned this monster! Not! Not! Not!" With his mind collapsing he started laughing, crying, punching the ground, honestly he was lost and needed a moment to calm down. Taking a deep breath he started to calm down after some time, first he had to resolve this, what should he do to become "normal" again? If this continued the boy was sure that something would be born of this nature forcedly implanted inside him and with that thought he listened to the system ringing in his head...

[Congratulations! You received the ability [Rellim Lebal (Rank A)] for unknown reasons!]

[Congratulations! You got 220 XP from killing Miner Monkey Level 5!]

[Congratulations! You got 110 XP from killing Miner Monkey Level 1!]

[Congratulations! You got 198 XP from killing Miner Monkey Level 4!]

...

[Congratulations! You killed the boss of Rualy Mountain's Nest, the Level 13 Gorilla Miner!]

[Congratulations! You completed your quest and received 5,500 XP and the Blood of the Njarnian Wolf!]

[Congratulations! You've killed a huge amount of monsters and because of that you've been given the title Beginner Monster Slayer!]

[Congratulations! For killing an incredible amount of monsters you gained a skill called Predator Aura (Rank C)!]

[Congratulations! For eating a huge amount of monsters you have gained a skill called Monster Eater (Rank B)]

[Congratulations! By using the skills [Bite (Rank E)], [Claws (Rank D)] and [Uncommon Strength (Rank E)] many times you've evolved them! Bite went straight up to Rank D+, Claws to Rank C and Uncommon Strength to Rank D+.]

[Congratulations! You have risen from level 7>14! Some experience points were lost in the collection process and because of that your XP was zeroed as well as your bioenergy, be careful about letting Rellim Lebal take care of you or the penalties will be even higher!]

Abell felt increasingly sad when he saw the notifications, he didn't even know how many monkeys he had killed, he didn't even know how many days had passed so far, maybe it's been weeks... What should he do from now on? First he decided to distribute his attribute points while calming down, leaving his stats like this:

| Stats of Abell Miller. |

> Race: Magic Bat.

> Title: Genius.

> Level: 14/15.

> XP: 0/81,920.

> Attributes: STR – 10; AGI – 5; INT – 15; MAG – 20; STA - 6.

> Skills: [Bite (Rank D+)]; [Flight (Rank C)]; [Claws (Rank C)], [Essence Sucker], [Lunys Tongue (Rank C)] [Ore Eater (Rank E)], [Uncommon Strength (Rank D+)], [Rellim Lebal (Rank A)], [Predator Aura (Rank C)] and [Monster Eater (Rank B)]

> Peculiarities: [Small Lower Magic Core], [Enhanced Echolocation], [Improved Muscles] and [Innate Magic Circuit].

[Congratulations! Upon reaching 20 in MAG you gain the Mana Control skill (Rank E)!]

[Congratulations! Upon reaching 10 in INT you gain the Super Hippocampus feature!]

[Bite (Rank D+)]: Their bites can destroy even steel, E Rank monsters are just food for you.

[Claws (Rank C)]: Their claws can easily pierce armor made of steel as they were made of plastic, they have become the equivalent of a sword made of an alloy called Red Steel, an alloy made through magic.

[Uncommon Strength (Rank D+)]: With just your hands iron can be destroyed, your blows are strong enough to rival zero-grade spells!

[Rellim Lebal (Rank A)]: It's the materialization of all your anger and hatred towards your old world, all your evil thoughts took shape in this skill. By not having control of it you can unintentionally summon it when killing monsters, it makes you 3x stronger, amplifying all your attributes, but in return your consciousness fades away and you become nothing but a beast that craves blood. She uses her bioenergy and XP as fuel to be activated.

[Predator Aura (Rank C)]: When activating this skill your body is surrounded by a black aura, any enemy who is lower level than yours will instinctively feel scared and beings who have a rank lower than yours basically faint with so much pressure on them.

[Monster Eater (Rank B)]: This skill allows its user the ability to eat poisonous or corrosive monsters without difficulty, although it is not immune to poison or corrosion.

[Mana Control (Rank E)]: With this skill the job of controlling mana becomes much easier and fluid, letting the mana become more effective and hardly losing energy in the process. Because it's in a very weak stage it only serves so that the user doesn't lose a lot of energy when driving mana through his body or through his abilities.

[Super Hippocampus]: Access to memories is very simple due to this feature that organizes everything as if it were a library organized by topics, in addition it makes its storage capacity about 5x larger.

[Blood of the Njarnian Wolf]: Coming from the lands of Njar, this wolf is an A-rank monster with a baron-class noble bloodline, its body is about 5 meters wide and 10 meters high, its coat is completely silver, they are descendants of Moon King Njar. This blood is a material of evolution.

Abell sat silently away from the shattered bodies of the apes and began to think. What should he do to deal with the Rellim Lebal skill? She could be of help, but she was certainly affecting him too much! His only option would be to get a skill or feature that dealt with it, lost in his thoughts he just let it all go, would he feel remorse for killing all those monkeys? Yes, but that was just an excuse to himself, even if he didn't kill them all he would have destroyed the nest core and the boss monster anyway if he wanted to get out of there with the mission completed. Hardening his heart he let it go, eventually he would have to kill even more monsters to become strong. He prefers to put aside his thoughts that he can't hurt anyone in order to survive, after all Abell Miller is just a child who lets himself be swept away by the current, powerless and weak! Humir may have given him a chance to live again, but he also took away his choices about surviving, at this point he can only think of monsters as if they were just mobs to avoid getting hurt further. Her purity and innocence were slipping away every moment there....
