Blood Assimilation

"I want to become a dungeon hunter." Randy stated.

When everyone within the building heard his seemingly calm words, they turned in his direction and then observed the young man who did not seem to come from a wealthy family or a renowned family. 

The reason was that he was wearing cheap clothes that only people from the village wear and thus he was most likely here to register to become a dungeon hunter to make quick money. 

However, those who hunt in the dungeons knew that although if one was careful enough, they could avoid death in the dungeon, it did not mean that one would always be lucky, and therefore, they viewed this young man with scorn. They could not be bothered with people like this since they would die soon or later.

"Oh, is that so. Is this perhaps your first time registering? Or are you transferring from somewhere else?" Zophia asked him in confirmation.

"No, this is my first time." Randy quickly shook his head.

"Hmm… I see. In that case, can you fill out this form, and then we would proceed to measure your level and other talents."

"Level and talents?" Randy expressed his doubt.

"That's right. Have you not heard about this before?" Zophia raised her eyebrows and asked.

"No, that's not it. I know about levels. I just didn't know that I would be measuring them here during my registration." Randy said.

"There's no need to worry. You don't particularly need your level as of right now. We would be focusing on your physical and magical talents instead. Using the measured values, we can use that to determine what kind of missions and requests to assign to you. After you complete the mission or request assigned to you, we would then check your level after that and then use that to assign the appropriate ranking for you." Zophia explained to him.

"I see. I understand. Then I will fill out the form right now." Randy nodded in understanding as he grabbed the ink and paper placed in front of him and started filling it out with this world's language characters. 

He had already used his knowledge points to learn the characters of this world, coupled with his lesson with the old man, there was no way he could not write in this world's language. As for the things that needed to be filled out, they were simply his name, where he was from, level of strength if he had one, skill if he had one.

Randy left out the parts that required him to write his level and also, where it demanded his skills. After all, this is a completely different world and there was no way that he would reveal his skills to them.

Moreover, just a few days ago, when simply witnessing his blood manipulation ability due to his Blood Authority Skill, Klara and everyone in the village immediately assumed that he was some monster in disguise. Which further proved that he cannot carelessly reveal his skills to the people of this world. 

With that in mind, before reaching the city, Randy had already assumed his original human form, and right now, he had his usual curly blonde hair and grey eyes. Which was unlike his ancestral form that made his hair color blood-red, and his eyes amber-golden color. 

Without a doubt, if he came to this place with his previous appearance, the people here would have attacked him right away upon their meeting.

After Randy was done filling out the registration form, the receptionist, Zophia who went somewhere when he was filling out the registration paper, brought back some device or perhaps an artifact, and then placed it on the counter before gesturing with her hands. 

"Place your hand on this. It would display your talents when you do so." She said.

Randy observed this device which looked like a stone slab with nothing noteworthy about it except for its color, which was black. 

"Alright." Randy replied without thinking too much. 

After responding, he immediately put his right hand on the black stone slab. The next moment, before the stone could display his results, his system suddenly prompted him.

[[Detected an artifact which has the effects of discerning and assessing the abilities of the host. Would you permit the artifact to display your skills and basic statistics?]] 

'What? Are you saying that you can block it from checking my skills and even my basic statistics?' Randy doubtfully asked in his mind.

[[That is possible]] The system replied with a line of text.

'Hmm… Then just block my skills and leave my basic statistics intact. I can't simply claim that I don't any basic statistics when I clearly do have them. Even if I can hide it, they might find out using another method, and I would not be able to explain it to them then, so it's better to leave it as is.' Randy decisively said to the system. 

The moment he finished his conversation with the system, which only took a few moments, the black stone slab which was taking so long to display his results started vibrating.

'What's going on? I thought it was taking so long to measure this person's talents, but now, it started vibrating. Is this measuring device broken? No, this was something retrieved from the dungeon, so there's no way that it would be defective.' Zophia noticed the strange phenomenon and commented in her mind with a bewildered expression.

A few moments later, the black stone slab suddenly stopped vibrating and quickly let out a bright yellow light with golden runic characters hovering above it. 

A moment later, those golden runic characters formed the characters of this world's language and then displayed the results of the measurement above the black stone slab as if a holographic projection.

"2-250!!" Zophia immediately exclaimed in shock when she saw the displayed results.

Meanwhile, Randy was dumbfounded and baffled by his own displayed results, especially when he read the first few lines.

'What the hell is with these question marks? System, didn't you say that you were only going to block off my skills? Why are there missing words and numbers? More importantly, why is even my name hidden on the screen?" Randy questioned in bewilderment when he saw the displayed results.
