Having a powerful lord as a father figure, what's wrong with just wanting to draw cards?

2. Photographic memory

3. Possessed by the Sword Saint

Domi didn't even glance at anything related to swords, and blindly chose "photographic memory".

[Special Talent - Photographic Memory, copied to the host.]

It seems that from now on, all he needs to do when reading a book is to skim the beginning and end, and then flip through the pages quickly to finish reading.

Everyone knows that reading is a good thing, but not everyone has the time, perseverance, and interest to read. His two abilities are simply a blessing!

A flurry of actions, and soon only one reward remained.

The tremor at the end of tragedy, a passive skill, only grants beginner-level proficiency when drawn, with a bonus of only 1%.

However, it is one of the few skills that can directly increase the total damage of Soul Devouring Energy!

No matter how fancy his other skills are, Soul Devouring Energy is his main power system, and focusing on it to level up is definitely the right thing to do.

Domi glanced at the "Thank you for your patronage" messages in his account—a total of 4,560. It was finally time for them to sacrifice themselves for the organization!

"Discard 4000 'Thank You for Your Patronage' tokens to exchange for Enhancement Essence, and use them all on the skill - Trembling at the End of Tragedy."

[Gained 400 Enhancement Essence]

[Remaining quantity: 560 (thank you for your patronage)]

[The Trembling Sound at the End of Tragedy, Upgrade: Beginner → Some Success; Some Success → Mastery (0.9w/5w), Bonus: 1% → 10%]

Domi forgot to mention one more reward—a random beginner earth magic book. This thing allows you to learn a spell instantly just by using it, even if you don't have the corresponding magic reserves.

It won't do Domi any harm. He has the Magic Hand anyway, so he can use it as a material to create shadow or necromancy magic that he can use.

[Random beginner earth magic book used. You have learned the beginner earth magic - Earth Escape (unusable)]

However, without magic, his magic is useless.

Without magic, what an awkward situation it was for him. Before the battle, his prayers could only produce nothing, the scarecrow couldn't perform its big jump, and he couldn't use powerful skills like Susanoo, Flying Thunder God, or Summoning Ashes.

What's the use of gold-quality cremated remains? Aren't they just going to gather dust in the warehouse?

So Domi resolutely opened the 'Book of Heraldry'.

He flipped through the pages quickly, and three seconds later, okay, he had a general idea of ​​how to use it.

Arriving at the castle's special warehouse for storing materials, this place contains almost every type and variety of materials from across the entire continent.

There are no material difficulties in crafting second-tier coats of arms.

He casually summoned a famous tattoo artist, told him to stand by, and then began mixing the emblem serum himself.

That's how it's called in the book.

Domi chose simple ink sacs as the colors for his coat of arms.

Finally, add the instant paper engraved with the following magic array to the undiluted solution...

If these materials are hardware, then this super-complex magic array is an integrated system that drives and connects various hardware components.

As the process was carried out step by step, with the rapid distillation of the original solution, only 50ml of dark, viscous liquid remained in the glass bottle.

According to the book, the very last step is to use the undiluted solution to draw your favorite patterns on any part of your body, and then you're all done.

The author suggests drawing it on the heart area so that the absorbed magic can be quickly distributed to every part of the body.

"That's quite humane..."

Domi couldn't help but marvel at the magical intelligence of this mysterious author. To be able to research something like this and customize its diversity—amazing!

Since the undiluted solution couldn't be left out for too long, Domi immediately called the tattoo artist in and handed him the design she had drawn.

"Master, what is this?"

"The Qilin Treading on the Ghost, I usually call it the big arm tattoo."

"But I've never seen a Qilin..."

"Just draw it based on your imagination."

Eight hours later, Domi stopped absorbing energy from her finger bones. The tattoo artist put down his brush and then brought a mirror to Domi's heart area.

It must be said that this tattoo artist truly deserves his reputation as the most renowned in the entire territory; the result was better than he had imagined.

It doesn't have much of a traditional Chinese style, just a semblance of it, since he had never been to his hometown in his previous life. But it has a strong Western fantasy element; he seems to have put the image of a giant dragon head into a Qilin head.

Its entire body, including its face and limbs, is black, as are its scales, but the spaces between the scales and its flowing sideburns are white.

The ethereal and shapeless ghosts were replaced by eerie black clouds.

The Qilin extends diagonally downwards from the left shoulder onto the left chest, appearing to soar through the clouds, its face ferocious and terrifying, as if determined to suppress all demons and monsters in the world.

It's incredibly powerful!

Even if the people from another world don't appreciate the culture of their homeland, they can still feel its majesty and terror just by looking at it.

Anyway, since he usually hides it in his clothes, whether or not we can actually open his clothes to see is another matter.

Domi dismissed the tattoo artist and gave him a generous sum of money before returning to his room.

In such a short time, his perfect-level shadow talent, by absorbing the surrounding shadow magic factors, had already filled the emblem that could only store one high-level spell.

The magical tattoo then revealed its hidden side—its ink seemed to be filled with the magic of shadows, as if it were the deepest black in the world, even blacker than purebred black people.

Now he can use magic again.

Moreover, given his usage speed, his perfect talent can restore as much as he uses.

Even if you use too much force at once, it will be refilled in a few minutes.

Absolutely wonderful!

At this point, it won't be so awkward to study magic.

"Earth Release, huh..."

"Try Earth Release combined with Shadow Release."

His desk was covered with magic books, and he kept writing down their magical sequences with a quill pen.

Shadow Release allows him to move through shadows, while Earth Release theoretically allows him to move through physical objects. Combining the two, he can move through most scenes.

But that wasn't enough; he didn't even use the add-ons to his Magic Hand.

It was only barely passable after adding invisibility magic to the magician's hand.

Now, Domi, who has a photographic memory, can unleash it simply by reciting a spell to his memory:

"Shadows have touched everything, and I choose to dance on the edge of darkness..." he recited the incantation for easy memorization.

Fingers could penetrate walls, then legs, and finally the body!

While his body can pass through walls, the spirit-devouring energy within him cannot, though the energy itself possesses penetrability.

Therefore, when he used this spell, the Soul Devouring spell appeared as a deep blue gradient.

From an outsider's perspective, it looks like a will-o'-the-wisp wandering around.

This spell is actually very similar to a skill that Kayn once used. In order to commemorate him having such a mentor and to save himself some trouble, Domi calls it Shadowstep. It is a versatile spell that can be used for movement, escape, assassination, etc. It is comparable to the workhorse of the movement world!

He had done all the necessary effort, and in the afternoon he even endured Altaïr's torment and devilish training at the Fomalhaut base.

All the remaining time, except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, was spent absorbing the pure spirit-devouring energy within the finger bones.

The density of the mutated soul-devouring energy within his body was increasing every moment, which meant that the damage of every punch he threw was increasing at a visible rate.

At this point, some people might ask, if the power of the Soul Eater cannot be used in actual combat, why bother to improve it?

There are two answers.

First: There's not much to do, and there's not much room for improvement in the short term.

Second: The Soul Devouring Energy once fused with Qi, and Qi can nourish the body like the Body Tempering Technique - Breathing. Therefore, the mutated Soul Devouring Energy can also nourish the body.

Alger is sleeping, but he's getting stronger every moment. I wonder what Alger will use to beat me tomorrow...

P.S.: A summary chart of the protagonist's current rewards, learned skills, and talents is in the comments section below.

Chapter 94, Section 93: I will surely take your dog's head from among ten thousand troops, a sarcastic remark.

At exactly five o'clock the next morning, Domi appeared on the top of the tower as always, taking in the first breath of the purest fresh air in the world and completing the great cycle of breathing.

Increase Strength and Agility by 0.004 each, and get the daily reward.

"The competition is about to start, and you still have the leisure to come here for health preservation?"

Domi knew without a second thought that the person behind him was Shia; she had already memorized Shia's life force.

He simply said, "Breakfast is almost here. Would you give up breathing because of that?"

"It seems you are quite confident."

"That's for sure. I never fight a battle I'm not confident of winning."

Shia glanced one last time at Domi's unwavering back, then turned and walked towards the stairs, saying before leaving:

"I hope so. Also, Aunt Kelsey has asked you to come down for dinner."

Why didn't she call out like she did before?

Why don't you ask her yourself?

Ok……

Kelsey probably saw that Shea had gone up, so she asked her to pass on a message.

When they arrived at the restaurant, apart from Shia, the whole family seemed quite worried about him; you could tell from their eyes.

Grace put down her knife and fork and comforted him in a reassuring tone:

"Domi, don't worry too much. It's okay to lose. After all, he's three years older than you. When you're ten, you can beat him too."

Carlos echoed:
