After returning to his room, Shinji locked the door tight.
At present, the resources he had on hand were: 6,500 Cursed Soul Points, a cursed item—Perfect Perfu, one Cursed Technique Enhancent Scroll, and the Executioner's Blade, which had yet to be converted into a cursed tool.
First, the 6,500 Cursed Soul Points. Since it wasn't enough for a ten-pull, that option was off the table—but he could still do six single draws.
Alternatively, he could spend 5,000 points to convert the Executioner's Blade into a cursed tool and worry about the gacha later.
Shinji had actually thought about this for a long ti. In the end, he decided to do a single pull first—to test the waters. If the drop rate for good items wasn't terrible, he'd dump everything into draws.
But if the pool was a scam, he'd spend the 5,000 points upgrading the Executioner's Blade first. That way, at least he wouldn't lose out completely—guaranteed value.
With that decision made, he decisively pulled up the system's lottery interface and selected a single draw.
The system screen instantly burst into blinding golden light—so bright his eyes almost went blind.
Shinji couldn't help but feel excited.
Could it be? Had he finally escaped his bad luck and gone straight to SSR heaven with a single pull?!
Very soon, the light faded…
[You have obtained: Mischief Imp's Temporary Curse Card ×1]
[Mischief Imp's Temporary Curse Card]
Effect: Guaranteed to trip on flat ground while walking
Duration: Five minutes
PS: I don't know if it's cute, but my advice is—protect your face.
...
I finally get a drop—and this is how you repay ?
Damn it!
One thousand Cursed Soul Points for such a trash cursed item—and it's a one-ti consumable at that. This garbage system is absolutely toxic!
Of course, Shinji wasn't about to admit that his own luck was terrible. He promptly dumped all the bla onto the system—after all, the system wasn't going to pop out and argue with him.
"Ha… look at . What kind of household do I think I co from, dreaming of getting rich through gacha?"
Letting out a self-mocking laugh, Shinji decisively gave up, refusing to throw the rest of his Cursed Soul Points into that bottomless pit.
Instead, he picked up the Executioner's Blade and began converting it into a cursed tool.
Five thousand Cursed Soul Points were instantly deducted. A dark, blackish energy wrapped around the blade in his hands—clearly the transformation process had begun.
After about three minutes, the energy dissipated. The conversion was complete.
Shinji examined it carefully. There was no major change in appearance; however, at the raised section where the blade connected to the handle, a row of seven translucent white dots had appeared.
[Executioner's Blade — Curse]
Self-Regeneration: After being damaged, the blade can rapidly repair itself by absorbing blood.
Soul Imprisonnt: Enemies slain by this weapon have their vengeful souls imprisoned within the blade, lighting one of the Seven Killing Lamps.
Piercing Shadow Strike: Unlocked when all Seven Killing Lamps are lit. Within a straight-line distance of 100 ters, as long as the target is within sight, the user instantly appears behind the target—even if the user was concealed—and delivers double damage!
...
After reading the new properties of the Executioner's Blade, Shinji couldn't hide the delight on his face.
Aside from Self-Regeneration, which the blade already possessed, the cursed-tool conversion had granted it two new abilities.
Soul Imprisonnt was straightforward. It ant that anyone killed by the Cursed Executioner's Blade could never be revived—a hard counter to techniques like Edo Tensei. In certain special situations, this would surely give enemies a very unpleasant surprise.
But what truly blew Shinji away was Piercing Shadow Strike.
Once all Seven Killing Lamps were lit, consuming all the imprisoned souls allowed him to unleash a close-range slash akin to a small-scale Flying Thunder God technique—with double damage.
This ant his mobility in future battles would skyrocket.
Situations like enemies escaping with low HP, or being dragged into a prolonged fight and worn down to death, would be far less likely.
If used properly, it could even serve as a way to dodge enemy ultimates.
In just a short mont, he'd already imagined several wild applications—now all that remained was to test whether they were feasible.
At this point, his painstakingly accumulated Cursed Soul Points had basically vanished overnight. Only 500 points remained—enough to do absolutely nothing.
After admiring the blade for another half hour, Shinji finally set it aside and took out the Cursed Technique Enhancent Scroll.
The na was brutally simple, which only heightened his expectations. After all, relying solely on slowly developing cursed techniques on his own was far too inefficient.
Getting sothing for nothing might be shaful, but…
It's damn effective.
Who could possibly resist the temptation of effortless gains?!
[Cursed Technique Enhancent Scroll]
Usage: Tear open
Effect: Gain a large amount of experience corresponding to the selected cursed technique. Small chance to comprehend "Supre Technique."
PS: Supre Technique — The ultimate form of a cursed technique, excluding Domains.
...
Without hesitation, Shinji tore the Cursed Technique Enhancent Scroll open with a rip.
A beam of white light imdiately burst out—and before he could even react, it shot straight into his head.
Shinji felt a wave of dizziness. When he regained his senses, he realized that he had appeared in an extrely unfamiliar place—and had beco soone else entirely.
Had he transmigrated again?
No. He quickly understood what was happening.
This so-called Cursed Technique Enhancent Scroll was actually allowing him to experience another person's life from a first-person perspective.
In this life, there was nothing else—no ssy distractions at all. Only the cultivation and application of Blood Manipulation. All other mories seed to have been stripped away.
Every day consisted of nothing but training.
Training.
And more training.
How much ti had passed?
The question itself was aningless.
Ti progressed in jumps. As soon as one day's training ended, it skipped directly to the next. If the following day contained no morable training, it skipped again—to the third day.
In this bizarre world, concepts like ti, hunger, or fatigue simply didn't exist.
Shinji didn't even know who this "person" was. Everyone and everything around him was blurred and indistinct.
He could do nothing but continuously absorb the knowledge being learned and mastered.
He felt the flow of blood, body heat, pulse… even the changes within every single red blood cell.
Gradually, Shinji stopped passively accepting everything. Using this incredibly precious experience, he began to think actively.
After an unknown amount of ti, Shinji's stiff body suddenly trembled. The vacant look in his eyes slowly returned to life.
The extra mories faded away bit by bit, leaving behind only the invaluable experience of day-after-day cultivation and developnt of Blood Manipulation—completely and utterly becoming his own.
Shinji felt dazed for a mont.
He knew he had struck gold this ti.
The most valuable reward from this mission wasn't the re 5,000 Cursed Soul Points—it was this Cursed Technique Enhancent Scroll.
If he could experience this once more, he was confident that he could, relying solely on himself, comprehend and construct a Domain of his own!
