Vampire Skill: [Skill Absorption] activated. Attempting to absorb the skill [Hell Smash] from the prey.
Required gene to learn the skill: None.
The skill is an evolved version of a basic attack skill and can be learned by any species. Proceeding with absorption.
Due to the inefficiency of [Skill Absorption], only partial absorption could happen. As a result, the active skill [Hell Smash (lvl 10)] has been turned into the active skill [Rock Pound (lvl 1)].
(Note: The user is recommended to upgrade [Skill Absorption] as soon as they can.)

"Yeah, I'm already on it." Ashton stretched his neck for a bit before checking the information about the skill.
Ashton didn't know but the skill, [Rock Pound], was nothing special. As the system said, it was a basic attack skill that could be later evolved into [Hell Smash]. For now, the skill would only deal additional damage in a wide area and knock the targets back a bit.
The effect of [Hell Smash] didn't change much but the effects were more serious as it could both stun the targets as well as inflict bleeding on them.
"No point wondering what [Hell smash] can do if I don't have to skill. At least I levelled up all of my genes by a bit and I can finally use mana."

However, upon obtaining level 15, not only did he get a new class and two new abilities, but all of his stats also increased by 5 points, which was a welcomed surprise. Also Apart from getting 500 points of mana, his HP increased to 3500 from 3000.
But there was something else. He was notified by the system that now whenever he levelled up or killed a higher levelled being, he would get a free stat point which he could freely use to increase his stats, HP or mana.
Still, the main attractions of levelling up were his new Revenger class and the two most precious skills he got from it. Even though he was a bit bummed out that he could not select a class of his choice, the class that he got was supposed to be a <Unique> class. So it was supposedly the best starting class he could get his hands on.

"It sucks I can't just dump enough points and level up the skills right now. But it is still better than I could have expected." Ashton sighed before checking up on Seven who was still lying unconscious on the ground.
Ashton did not know why the heck was he still knocked out. But it was good considering he could get enough blood from him to get at least one skill from him. The only problem was... [Skill Absorption] was still in cooldown and would be for 24 hours.
Also, it had been a while since Virgil and his team left to inform the guild about their misfortune of encountering a Gorillan. Which meant the reinforcements could get there at any moment. But that didn't mean Ashton was gonna let Seven just go away like that.
Ashton took the man's sword and plunged it into Seven's open palm, before quickly collecting his blood in a vial and storing it inside his inventory. Once that was done, Ashton poured some healing potion on his hand and voila! The wound had healed completely.
"I guess this is it then..." Ashton mumbled and the following moment his legs gave out.
He wanted to continue looking for the hidden lair or the breeding grounds of the Monklins, but he was exhausted after taking down the Gorillan. It was better for him to rest a bit before hastily charging into the unknown as he did before with the Gorillan.
While he was laying down, a dangerous thought entered his mind. It was something he had not given attention to before as he was understandably preoccupied. Where the hell did Seven appear from out of nowhere?
'Was he hiding somewhere near? Or did he get here at the last moment by coincidence?' Ashton thought to himself, 'Even if I give him the benefit of doubt, it made no sense why he wanted to kill himself rather than killing the damned monster?'
He looked over at the unconscious knight who still had a look of surprise on his face.
"Looks like we'll have a long chat when you wake up."
