Blood Assimilation

The moment Randy tossed the blood of the blonde man into his blood, the usual notification from his system flashed across his eyes without delay.

[[Detected that the host have consumed the blood of a human]]

[[Assimilation Mode Activated]]

[[Assimilation With Blood Commencing]]

'Hmm...This time, I am not getting that vague and yet unsettling feeling that something was wrong with the blood as opposed to what happened at the time when I consumed that chimera monster's blood. But I wonder why, though? Was that feeling from before a part of my assimilation ability that I did not know of until that time?'

Randy just realized that despite knowing how his awakened abilities work, he did not truly understand how the mechanism behind them worked. Therefore, he was unable to recognize the feedback he received when he was assimilating with the chimera monster's blood.

At that time, he managed to purify the chimera monster's blood, which turned out to be human blood mixed with other types of contaminated blood-looking substances.

However, immediately after consuming it to assimilate with it, he abruptly received some sort of precognitive feedback regarding the blood, but he did not understand it until the results of the assimilation was displayed in front of eyes.

At that point, he understood that perhaps the feedback that he received before the assimilation was completed had something to do with the incomplete blood knowledge found in the assimilated blood, which then resulted in an incomplete ability formation from the chimera monster's blood.

While he was thinking this to himself, his system's notification flashed once again, displaying a few lines of texts with the results of the assimilation this time.

[[Assimilation Completion: 100%]]

[[Due to assimilating with a human blood, you have obtained the following abilities and traits: Sacred Sword(100%), Sacred Enchant(100%), Sacred Aura(100%) Swordsmanship(100%), God of light's Blessing(Minor)(Unobtainable without consent)]]

"Oh, he has some pretty useful skills with him. Although most of them are related to light attribute mana, so he truly was a holy knight or something similar. I heard there are people like that in the Western District, but I have never met one before until today." Randy muttered in a seemingly pleased tone right after reading through the displayed abilities.

'But what is this 'God of light's Blessing'? It even said that I need their consent to get their blessing. Then again, can my assimilation ability even access something intangible like a blessing…? No, in the first place, the skills and abilities of others are not tangible either, so it kind of makes sense that I could obtain the blessing of a god that was recorded in the blood of that blonde man.'

'But still, I have no idea how I can even obtain this 'blood knowledge' from people's blood. I mean, what is the principle behind this ability?'

Randy thought in admiration and bewilderment toward his own ability.

Randy had never truly thought about the origin of his ability until now when he saw that it could even access the blessing of a supposed god.

After pondering for a bit, a wild thought suddenly came into his mind and he then muttered: "Then, what would happen if I took my parents' blood instead of other creatures' blood and obtain their abilities as my own through my access to their blood knowledge?"

Although he thought of this method that had a possibility of getting him stronger quickly, he soon dismissed this thought. As if that was truly possible then it would inevitably make him become too arrogant and conceited after easily obtaining power through such an easy method.

That was because, if he ended up using this method to get stronger, he would eventually think that he was stronger than everyone else based on his abilities alone, whereas his actual combat experience might still be lacking when faced with enemies with unusual abilities or more experienced than him.

Rather than using this easy method, it was better for him to hunt the creatures himself and take their blood to assimilate. This way, he could vividly feel his growth progress as opposed to receiving an explosive power out of nowhere.

However, in the future, he planned on discerning which blood was worth it before taking and consuming them.

After all, he could not simply take blood from every single creature that he would have to kill in the future. Otherwise, there would be too many assimilated states and he could not keep track of them all.

Thus, it was more logical to be selective when it comes to the blood that he would consume in the future.

With that in mind, he immediately tried to activate his newly acquired assimilated state and see how useful it was.

However, there was a sudden knock on the door of his room, and with that, he put the thought aside and went to receive the person behind the door to his room.

It turned out it was Klara, she felt apologetic about what happened earlier, so she came to apologize for her actions that almost led the villagers to attack him. After that, Randy accepted her apology and then reassured her afterward.

Randy then returned to his room after sending the girl away. He planned on continuing what he was about to do before he was interrupted but he decided against it for now and proceeded to sleep right away.

Even though he appeared to be fine on the outside, he was actually physically tired, mostly from the fight with the chimera monster. Not to mention, he spent an untold amount of time inside the portal, which left him mentally exhausted.

As a result, he decided to rest his exhausted body without immediately testing out his newly acquired assimilated states and skills since he could do that following day. However, Randy did not fall into deep sleep, he was only half asleep throughout the whole night.

The following day, when he woke up, he had so many things to prepare himself for the new world.

And thus, he was busy with learning the language and other stuff, so he did not have the time to test out his assimilated states nor use his abilities for that matter.

….

The present.

At this moment, Randy still sat on the floor in the safe room of the first floor of the dungeon of beasts, as he pondered for a few moments before an idea suddenly popped up into his mind and just like that he decided to pick up where he left off back in the village.

Without anything to do, or anything distracting him in this white space inside the safe room, Randy concentrated on the assimilated state that he had acquired a week ago and then urged with his mind.

Recognizing his actions, a notification suddenly popped up from his system with a flash, as lines of lines displayed in his vision shortly after. 

[[Assimilated Mode Activated]]

[[Assimilated Type: Unnamed Human Blood 2]

[[Swordsmanship Skill Activated]]

"Hm?"

Right after the notification stopped scrolling, Randy immediately felt the effects of the Swordsmanship Skill, which made him acquire some sort of muscle memory as to how to use his sword even though this was his first using a cold weapon, let alone, a sword technique.

However, after immersing himself in this feeling for a short while, Randy noticed something very odd. He then checked his body to confirm his doubts, but he was instantly perplexed when he discovered that nothing has happened to his body.

To be more precise, at this moment, he realized that nothing has happened to his body's form whatsoever despite entering his assimilated state, which was completely unlike the other times when he entered his assimilated state. At this point, Randy suddenly realized something crucial in this situation.

In truth, this was actually his first time entering a human assimilated state. As this realization dawned on him, it made him wonder if there was a difference in treatment or the effects of the assimilated states depending on the source of the blood?
