Chapter 90 New System Feature, Choosing an Ability

“Master, this building is much bigger than the one we own in Starlight city.”

Vladimir was like a curious child checking a room in the mansion and comparing it with the mansion they own in Starlight city.

“I am going to sleep.”

However, Leo didn’t comment on the mansion; instead, he went into the master bedroom to sleep.

Even though it was a Haunted mansion, a few servants still took care of the mansion. The previous owner promised to keep the mansion and garden clean until he officially entered the mansion.

Since he had entered the mansion, the servants don’t have to look after the mansion anymore.

“Master, since this mansion is big, why don’t we call Davis. It is better than hiring a group of servants.”

However, Vladimir didn’t leave Leo alone.

“Sigh…I bought some enslaved humans. I can hire them to look after the mansion.”

Leo sighed as he replied.

The reason why Leo didn’t want Vladimir to follow him was because of his non-stop chatter.

“Still, they can’t look after such a huge mansion. So, why don’t we call Davies and be a butler of this mansion?”

The shadow vampire continued to annoy Leo.

“Fine. Call him.”

In the end, Leo could not take Shadow vampire’s chatter anymore and asked him to do whatever he wanted.

“Thank you, master.”

Vladimir was excited and hurriedly summoned his fastest bat.

‘Tell Davis that Master Leo is calling him.’

He sent his fastest bat away with an evil smile and muttered, ‘Soon, I can drink unlimited human blood.’

….

Time continued to pass, and in a flash, morning came.

“The pain is not telling me to sleep properly again.”

Since the system started its upgrade, Leo has been feeling more pain than usual. So, no matter how much he tried to sleep, he could not sleep.

‘System is suppressing so much pain for me.’

Finally, Leo understood how much pain the system was suppressing for him and hoped the system would finish its upgrade soon.

‘Ding,

The system has been successfully upgraded.

‘Ding,

The cooldown for the ‘Talent swallowing ability’ has been reduced to six months.

‘Ding,

A new system feature has been unlocked.

Just as Leo was hoping the system to finish its upgrade, he received a series of system notifications, making him pleasantly surprised.

‘Finally, the upgrade is done.’

Even though Leo was happy about reducing the cooldown and unlocking a new function, he was happier because his pain from the ‘Forbidden Curse’ had reduced to 70 percent.

‘Looks like upgrading the system is worthwhile.’

Leo silently muttered to himself and checked the new system function.

‘Ding,

[Mission tab] is the new system function that randomly generates a mission depending on the host’s surroundings.

‘Ding,

The system will reward the host with special rewards for completing those missions.

‘Oh. So, it is similar to the time you used to give the talent upgrading stone for killing 100 monster kings in a specific rank?’

‘Ding,

Yes; however, all missions don’t involve killing the monster kings, and the reward will not be the same.

‘Okay.’

Leo nodded and thought, ‘Now, I can use the ‘Fragment of the God stone’ to reduce the cooldown to three months.’

Each ‘Fragment of the God stone’ reduced the cooldown by three months. So, Leo wanted to use it since he still had one.

‘However, didn’t the system say I will gain an ability similar to the ‘Talent swallowing ability.’

Even though Leo used the God Stone to upgrade the system because he wanted to repay the system’s help, he didn’t mind having an additional ability.

‘Ding,

As a reward for the host’s trust in the system, he will be allowed to pick an ability from the below list.

‘Ding,

1) Seal swallowing ability: The host can swallow any seal as long as it is not very powerful.

2) True pill swallower: The host will receive twice the effects of the pills he swallowed.

3) Bloodline swallowing ability: The host can swallow the bloodlines from the enemies he killed.

As though the system heard his thoughts, it sent a couple of system notifications, asking him to pick an ability.

‘Each one of these abilities will make anyone go crazy.’

After reading about the system notifications, Leo was shocked at the heaven-defying abilities on the holographic screen.

‘There is no need to think about which ability I want.’

Even though all three abilities were good, Leo didn’t think much and chose [Seal swallowing ability]

The reason for selecting that ability was obviously to swallow his slave seal.

‘I don’t need to swallow pills to increase the level of my talents. So, I don’t have much use for the [True pill swallower].’

‘As for the [Bloodline swallowing abiltiy], even though it was as powerful as the [Talent swallowing ability], I have seen only one person awaken a bloodline in my entire life and it was Hermax from the Golden titan race. So, it can be seen how useless this ability is for me.’

‘Moreover, I can make good use of the [Seal swallowing ability].’

Leo thought about his slave seal and the enslaved people he bought yesterday, and the enslaved humans he would buy in the future.

With this ability, he would free them all from the slave seals and return their freedom.

‘Ding,

The awakening process for the [Seal swallowing ability] has been started. Please wait for a few minutes.

Leo was eager as he waited for the awakening of his new ability to be completed.

‘Ding,

The host has successfully awakened level 1 [Seal swallowing ability].

Finally, after a couple of minutes, Leo received the system notification he was waiting for.

Even though he waited only for a couple of minutes, Leo felt like he had waited for a few years.

‘But why is there a level 1 in front of the [Seal swallowing ability]?’

However, when he carefully read the system notification, Leo frowned and asked the system.

His first system ability, the [Talent swallowing ability], didn’t have any levels. So, he was confused to see a level in front of the [Seal swallowing ability].

‘Ding,
