On the Run – Again
I kicked the horse into a full sprint, bolting out of the village like my life depended on it.
Which, to be fair, it absolutely did.
Behind me, I could hear the distant shouting of guards.
✔ Wanted for treason.
✔ Attacked a bounty hunter.
✔ Bit a guy like a f*cking vampire.
Yeah, I wasn't sticking around.
I leaned forward, urging the horse to go faster. "Come on, buddy. We're in this together now."
The horse neighed like it wanted to throw me off.
"Yeah, yeah, I stole you. Get over it."
Then—
A blue screen suddenly appeared in my vision.

…Wait. Hold the F*ck Up.
I yanked the horse to a stop, blinking at the glowing screen in front of me.
✔ A system?!
✔ Blood Absorption?!
✔ I CAN TRANSFORM INTO PEOPLE?!
I stared at the Shapeshift skill.
Then, without thinking—
I activated it.

Trying Transformation – Immediate Regret
My body shuddered, and within seconds—I had shrunk down and transformed… into the bounty hunter.
I immediately gagged.
"Oh, F*CK NO!"
I shifted back within a second.
My skin crawled. I could still feel the aftertaste of that sh*thead's existence.
"Nope. Nope. Nope. Never doing that again."
It was permanent, too—meaning I could change into him anytime.
Disgusting.
Still… this ability could be insanely useful.
If I bit stronger enemies, I could steal not just their strength—but their f*cking identity.
I grinned.
This game's storyline could go f*ck itself.

My Stats Are… Pretty Sh*t.
I checked my status again.
✔ +2 Strength
✔ +1 Agility
…That was barely anything.
So drinking blood made me stronger—but only in tiny amounts.
Unless…
The stronger the target, the more power I gain?
Which meant…
If I drank the right people's blood—
I could break the f*cking system.
I leaned back, letting that thought settle.

Final Thought – Time to Get Serious
For the first time since reincarnating, I felt excited.
The game had never let me use my real power.
Now?
Now I had a system, an ability that could rewrite my stats, and an entire world full of people stronger than me.
And I planned to take all of it.
I grinned, kicking the horse into motion again.
"Alright, buddy. Change of plans. We're not just running anymore."
"We're f*cking leveling up."
