Staring from the Abyss

After farming so many books, Gurney had already understood some of the mechanics behind it. The higher tier the book was, the more starting experience it would gain compared to lower-tier books. However, their level would rise relatively slower compared to those lower-tier books.

Evidently, the better the book was, the more time this [Passive Farming] function would need to raise it.

Relatively, lower-tier books also had a lower upper-limit in terms of level.

For example, ordinary books like Fire Arrow or Arc Lightning reached level four after two months of farming, but even though they continued gaining experience afterwards, their level was still fixed at four.

As for the supernatural book Ring Explosion, even though it leveled more slowly, but after a long time had passed, it had actually managed to reach level five.

And right now, regarding this Blood Pool Codex, it had +15 experience points from the start. One had to know, even the mid-tier book, Cybona Origin Pool, only gave +8 initially. The extraordinary power of Blood Pool Codex was evident with one glance.

The stronger the better,

Gurney thought to himself.

Currently, even though I only have this Blood Pool Codex, as time passes and my tier rises, my corresponding Bloodcaster abilities will also awaken gradually as I get stronger. I am really looking forward to those extraordinary abilities that the Bloodcaster class has. I wonder if these supernatural abilities can be put into the passive farming slot. According to the system’s powerful characteristics, it should be possible.

I am a Bloodcaster! This powerful class will display its brilliance in the most dazzling manner in my hands.

While waiting, everyone felt concerned and worried about Yulair who was currently accepting the inheritance.

Gurney was not worried because, before he came over, Gurney had already inspected the Blood Magic Totem. The peculiar curse had been entirely used up to kill Gurney, and none was left on the totem.

Yulair only needed to deal with the blood curse that was originally within the Bloodcaster class.

It was not a problem.

While waiting, half an hour passed quickly.

Within the darkness, footsteps could be heard.

Everyone turned to look.

Next!

Yulair who was bathed in blood walked over to them in a pathetic state. She had a look of embarrassment.

“I… earlier… I too…” She lowered her head, muttering to herself as her voice got softer.

Everyone: “…”

As the first person exploring this inheritance, it would be normal to fall into the pool, but her… she had also fallen into it…

“Do you have water?” Yulair asked softly.

“I have a bottle.” “I have some left.” “I can give you some.” They quickly said.

At the corner, within the dark shadow, Gurney’s smile slowly faded from his face.

…

Half an hour later.

After cleaning up, Yulair’s face returned to its pristine state.

She then described the danger that she experienced during the inheritance, “The sound of boiling blood was accompanied by soft whispers, making it hard for my willpower to materialize. And that flowing sound resembles demonic words. It lingers in my mind and cannot be ignored. Initially, I almost lost control.

“But now, I feel much better. In the case of supernatural inheritances, the moment when the power and body start to merge together is the most crucial. You guys need to watch out when it’s your turn.” Yulair told them about her genuine insights from this inheritance without being stingy.

Gurney listened with much interest.

Whispering? Was there? Bubbling and flowing sounds that cannot be ignored?

The problems that Yulair faced were not an issue for Gurney.

After she finished her words, Gurney spoke, “There is another Supernatural Door. Let’s take a look at it.”

Nobody had any objections.

Soon, they arrived in Blood Magic Grandmaster Gog’s living room.

While everyone stayed alert, Gurney opened the Supernatural Door that previously contained the Destiny Gold Coin.

“It seems to be a study room, but it is a pity that the books have all decomposed,” Avery spoke softly after inspecting the place. “Otherwise, if we could bring back these books, we would have been able to learn a lot more.”

“Indeed.”

After checking the room, they confirmed that there were no valuables left.

They then returned to the living room.

“Other than these two Supernatural Doors, there are also three tunnels. I wonder where they lead to. Do you guys want to explore it?” Avery seemed to be asking the group, but he was actually looking for Gurney’s opinion.

“There is no need to explore them, or rather, we cannot go.” Gurney immediately rejected the proposal.

Forget about the potential danger there. Just with the fact that those locations were not considered special encounters by the system, there would be no value in exploring them.

Moving around in this dangerous place without sufficient knowledge, wasn’t that a death wish?

It was possible that those locations might contain valuable things.

For example, other books, scrolls, or important information that was stored elsewhere. These things were not useless, but currently, they had already obtained the three contents that were listed and earned a fortune. It was time to curb their greed.

Gurney had also prepared his reply already. “From the style of that Transcendent Grandmaster, he would seal his treasures behind Supernatural Doors and keep them close to his resting room. We can try to peek into these tunnels, but we cannot enter them deeply.”

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard Gurney’s words.

“I will take a quick look. If there is danger, I will leave immediately. You guys can stay here and rest first,” Avery said.

“Be careful.” Gurney did not stop him as that might lead to suspicions.

While everyone rested, Yulair quietly went towards Gurney.

“Did you sense it?” Yulair spoke in a soft tone that carried traces of fear.

Gurney thought rapidly in his mind; he understood what she was referring to.

“The curse?” Gurney answered softly.

Yulair seemed to be scared and spoke in a shivering tone, “Yes, the terrifying existence, ‘it’ is staring at us from the abyss!”

From Yulair’s hoarse and shivering tone, Gurney could sense her deep fear.

The extraordinary power of Blood Pool Codex was evident with one glance, but that meant the “noble” existence behind it was also powerful, terrifying, and mysterious.

Sadly, the curse of that noble and mysterious existence had already been forcefully absorbed by the system and converted into Gurney’s supernatural talent and resistance. Gurney did not even have a chance to face that terrifying existence.

If ‘it’ dared to stare at him, he would stare right back. It was a pity that the system did not give Gurney such a chance.

“That is only a curse,” Gurney said. “The best solution is to quickly find a way to suppress or resolve the curse.”

“Yes!” Seemingly affected by Gurney’s tone that was heavy and stable like a mountain, Yulair’s mood also improved and stabilized.

After a while, Yulair asked, “You… aren’t afraid?”

Gurney smiled as he said, “I think the one who should be scared is not me.”

Yulair stared at Gurney in a daze. She opened her mouth slightly, her stunned expression spread over her delicate face.
