Chapter 5: System Shop unlocked

The next day I was hunting again after having rested for a night.
Yesterday after discovering that I could not do much with my affinity without having skills or techniques, I decided to hunt for many system points today.
I was currently walking through the forest on my search for prey, when I suddenly saw an old tree trunk.
What I was attracted by, was naturally not the tree trunk but the hole, that was built in its inside.
It looked like an entrance to an underground living place of some kind of animals.
I was naturally delighted, that I found such a treasure trove, so I immediately and without hesitation jumped into the hole where I surprisingly still fit in.
After venturing in the tunnel for half a minute, I finally saw my first prey.
It was actually the same kind of animal that I had killed in great amount yesterday, The Rabeer.
I attacked without further ado, since I thought that this underground base surely would not have more than one entrance, so they could not escape my grasp today.
I slashed forward with my paw at such a speed that the unlucky thing could not even react before my claws sliced through its neck and decapacitating its head in the process. A fountain of blood splashed out of the neck, dying the floor red in the process.
It was a gruesome sight to behold, but what I discovered was that I wasn't the least bit disgusted or frightened seeing this scene. The same applied to when I killed around hundreds of these Rabeers yesterday.
It seems that even though I had never killed a single animal in my previous life, I now possessed a slight trace of the animalistic characteristics from the tiger which I was now and therefore had no scruples in killing.
That was naturally a good thing for me, because I wouldn't need to hesitate every time before killing like the weak human I was before.
After I had killed the Rabeer, I activated "Black Hole" and absorbed the corpse into my mouth where I chose to convert it into [System points] this time.
After the short process was done, I received one notification on my system panel.
[Received: 1 System point]
'Ok, good, my first system point. Then let's go for more!' I thought excitedly after seeing that I had finally earned my first [system point].
Exited I ran deeper into the den and all unlucky beings that encountered me on my way were turned into [System points].
'Let's look at my stats first.' I decided after killing a few Rabeers.
'Status' I thought in my mind.
Name: Thiago Khan
Breed: Black Tiger
Species: Animal
Cultivation: 7th Tier of the Novice realm
___
System points:10
Shop: unlocked
Affinities
Darkness
___
Skills
<Black Hole> Level 1
Cultivation technique: Abyssal Darkness
'As I thought. The [System shop] has finally been unlocked. Then let's kill the rest of these Rabeers in this den and then I can look what the shop has got to offer.'
Closing the status screen, I resumed my crazy slaughter in this den until nobody was left alive there, which earned me a hefty sum of [System points].
'I think I might get addicted to killing, Hehe.' I thought after feeling that I kind of enjoyed the slaughter of these helpless creatures.
'Haha, will I become a villain? Nah, I think I won't become a villain just because I like the feeling of killing, right?' My thought turned a little dangerous at that time.
And unbeknownst to me, a heavy killing intent radiated from my body at the moment and my eyes were also once again glowing in a dangerous crimson red as if I was looking forward to killing my next preys.
Only after a few seconds did this disappear and I returned back to normal.
When I came out of the entrance and was once again in front of the old tree trunk, it was still plentiful bright, so I quickly looked for a small save spot, where I could take a look at the system shop.
After a few minutes I found a small uninhabited cave and directly walked inside.
After I sat down comfortably, I opened my status again.
Name: Thiago Khan
Breed: Black Tiger
Species: Animal
Cultivation: 7th Tier of the Novice realm
___
System points:75
Shop: unlocked
Affinities
Darkness
___
Skills
<Black Hole> Level 1
Cultivation technique: Abyssal Darkness
'Ok, good! 75 points, not bad. Then first look at the [System shop]. I guess I can open It like the status by just thinking of it, so then let's try it.' I inwardly said.
And just as I thought of [System Shop] a new transparent blue screen appeared in front of my vision.
[System Shop] --[75 points]
[General Search: …]
[Cultivation Techniques]
[Skills]
[Pills]
[Formations]
….
After looking at the [System shop] for a short while I could not help but think: 'Amazing! Truly amazing! In [General search] I can basically search for everything in my imagination and in the other categories I can find the things if I don't know the name of the things that I am searching for, but I still know the look or the category it is in. That is truly great.
Now I only need to look where or if there is a limit of what can be bought in the [ System shop], but that will wait for the future.'
After that I decided to finally buy my first skills.
I thought of [skills] and it directly went into the [skill] category and showed me all techniques that I could buy with my 75 points and my current realm.
[System Shop] -- [75 points]
[Search category: Skill]
[Novice realm skills]
[10 points]
[<Basic animalistic bite>]
[Causes +25% damage physical damage]
[skill: Novice realm Tier 1]
[20 points]
[<Basic animalistic movement>]
[Causes +20% in speed]
[Cooldown period of 15 seconds]
[40 points]
[<Piercing claws>]
[causes +30% in sharpness]
[cooldown 4seconds]
_ _ _
This were all skill I could currently buy with my amount of [System Points] and since I had enough to buy all three of the skills, I decided to just do that.
