[Item Name: Blood Pill]

Side Effects: Permanently decreases the user's level by 5 after the effect wears off.

Restriction: Can only be used by warriors Level 35 or higher.

"A pill made from human flesh?" A chill ran down his spine. "Just what the hell is the Tiger Guild doing…?"

"Are they really making this kind of pill from human flesh and blood?".

Jit's hands clenched into fists. His blood boiled at the thought. "The Tiger Guild isn't just corrupt… they're worse than the monsters outside the walls."Just how twisted is the Tiger Guild…?"

So that's why he was hesitating to give me his storage ring, Jit thought.

Many questions swirled in Jit's mind

Where is the Tiger Guild getting the humans for these pills? Were they kidnapping people from the city?

And who was using them? If powerful warriors or entire guilds were relying on Blood Pills, how far would they go to keep this secret buried?

Jit suddenly remembered something, back when he lived in Block D, his coworkers used to talk about people mysteriously disappearing. At the time, he hadn't thought much of it.But now… what if those disappearances were the work of the Tiger Guild?

His fists clenched. They're not just a corrupt guild they're murderers, preying on innocent people to make these sickening pills.

His blood boiled with fury. I have to stop them.

But to take on a powerful guild, he needed strength—

Taking a deep breath, Jit pulled out monster cores from his storage.

"If I want to stop them, I need to get stronger… much stronger."

He activated Super Absorption,

You are absoring monster

Somewhere in Block B – Morning

Mohan and His Group

Mohan clenched his fists. "Let's go catch that bastard. I'm going to kill him today!"

One of his guild members hesitated. "But, boss… we can't beat him. He's too powerful."

Mohan smirked. "Don't worry. I've already asked my brother to send two Level 50 warriors. This time, he won't be able to do anything to us."

Another guild member spoke up. "Boss, we don't even know who that man is or where he lives. How are we supposed to find him?"

Mohan's expression darkened. "I've already sent two men to gather information. They'll find out everything soon."

Just then, two men suddenly appeared before them, dressed in black suits with face masks covering their faces.

Mohan's face lit up. "Ravi, Kewal! You're here." He turned to them eagerly. "What did you find out?"

Ravi spoke first. "It wasn't easy to get information about a warrior from the Warrior Guild, but we managed. His name is Jit. He lives in Block D, and he recently awakened."

Mohan's grin widened. "Good. Then let's go to Block D and find him. I want that item at any cost."

Block D

Mohan and his men spread out across the district, searching every corner for Jit. Hours passed with no sign of him.

Finally, one of Mohan's guild members rushed over. "Boss! After interrogating an old man, I found out that Jit left Block D a few days ago."

Mohan's face twisted in anger. "Damn it! Now where are we supposed to find him?"

Kewal crossed his arms, thinking. "Jit is a newly awakened warrior, and his family isn't wealthy. If he wants to earn money, he'll have to go outside the city to hunt monsters."

Mohan's anger turned into a sinister smile. "Then we'll wait at the city gate. The moment he steps outside, we'll catch him."

He turned to his men. "Let's go to the city wall. This time, he'll beg me to kill him."

Jit's House – Block D

I practiced with glass and water all night, so I didn't absorb many monster cores. Plus, glass and water don't provide much Energy Points. Let's see how much I've accumulated.

[Energy Points: 2134]

I gained about 600 Energy Points today. The rest are from yesterday… Yesterday was a crazy day. I even met a really beautiful girl. So many things happened.

Let's convert 1500 Energy Points into Free Attribute Points.

[+150 Free Attribute Points]

[Total Free Attribute Points: 170]

Put 50 attribute point in strength,50 into agility ,40 into defence and 30 into intelligence

+50 Strength

+50 Agility

+40 Defense

+30 Intelligence

[Attribute Points Successfully Distributed]

I can feel my body getting stronger. Time to check my status.

Jit! Jit!

His mother's voice called from downstairs.

"Jit, wake up! Come down and eat. You didn't eat anything last night!"

After washing up, Jit headed downstairs. His father and siblings were already sitting at the table.

Jit looked at his father. "We should send Sonu and Soni to a proper school. Before, we couldn't afford it, so they only attended a normal school in Block D. But now, we can send them to a Warrior Academy."

His father frowned. "If we want to send them to a Warrior Academy, we should ask them first if they want to go. Also, the tuition is expensive. On top of that, we'll need to strengthen their bodies. Warrior Academies only admit children with at least 15 total attribute points. To achieve that, we'll need to buy Strength Pills, Agility Pills, and Defense Pills and they're not cheap."

Jit looked at his father in shock. "How do you know all this?"

His father hesitated for a moment before replying, "I… I heard it from a warrior I met when I was younger."

Jit narrowed his eyes slightly but didn't press further. "Oh… I see."

Turning to his siblings, he asked, "Do you two want to go to a Warrior Academy?"

Sonu and Soni's faces lit up. "Yes!" they shouted excitedly.

His father sighed. "But where are you going to get that much money?"

Jit smirked and opened his Storage. With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out twenty-eight thousand gold coins and placed them on the table.

His entire family stared in shock.

"W-Whoa!" Sonu and Soni gasped. "That's so much money!"

His parents looked at him, stunned. His mother asked him. "Jit… where did you get all this? And wait… I didn't pay attention earlier, but your level is already 30? How is your level increasing so fast?"

Jit simply smiled.
