After killing my second goblin ,memories of how to extract the essence stone of a monster flowed into my mind.
Although it made me a little uncomfortable ,I did it anyway because it was the fastest way for me to get money right now.
This time I saw the dark energy flow out of the goblin corpse and into the air.
Then I watched as it was purified by the light blue energy flowing through the air before it flowed into my stomach.
After it flowed into my stomach ,I saw it circulate through my entire body and I felt my strength increase with every full circulation.
My strength increased all around and I felt more in control of my body ,but there was nothing related to this in the memories I gained.
I searched through every inch of these new memories and even found the name of the person who this body belonged to.
Chi Yun ,a Chinese person who immigrated to Korea with his father. He kept his mother's surname and was forced to move with his father.
Unfortunately for him ,a few years later. His father died due to an undetected monster outbreak that happened while he was at work.
He was left in Korea with no relatives or family nearby and forced to rely on himself. Due to the pressures of life ,he went to evaluate his mana to try and become a hunter.
The good news was he had enough mana to qualify as an awakened ,the bad news was that his mana was too weak to reach D-rank.
He ended up classified as an E-Rank Mage ,due to the mystical qualities of his mana.
Though he had no spells ,the only thing his mana did was improve his body strength and reaction speed.
So he was forced to use a sword even though he was considered a mage. At least he was strong enough to kill weaker monsters and earn a living.
But one day ,he ended up cornered in a dungeon by a wolf monster that was stronger than him.
That ended up being the last moment of his life as he died of blood loss ,that was when I took over this body and where the memories I have of this world end.
Inside those memories ,there was no knowledge of this warm feeling or strange energies.
So the conclusion I've reached is that this process is unique to me or as some would say ,it's my 'golden finger'.
Anyways ,I followed the direction of the flowing energy and killed a few more goblins on the way.
My body had gotten considerably stronger than when I woke up in this dungeon and after killing the fifth goblin ,the energy flowing through my body transformed.
The flow solidified a little bit and started to circulate around my body automatically.
Although not as noticeable as when I kill monsters ,I could feel my body slightly strengthening.
It felt like I had broken through a small barrier and stepped onto the path of greatness.
