10 Butcher (1/2)

[To stab or not to stab? volume 9]

[Type: Ability Book]

[Rarity: Grey]

[Requirement: None]

[Effects: Once used, upgrade the ability [Dagger Mastery] by one level.]

[Remark: This book can be used to enhance any level within Basic rank, but can't upgrade the rank of the ability.]

But instead of learning it, Dorian put it in his backpack. The experience needed to level up from level 1 to 2 is lesser compared to the experience needed to level up from level 2 to 3, so the amount of experience needed to get to level 10 would certainly be even bigger, so Dorian decided to save it for later.

Dorian moved out and went to a more secluded place, and used his new Sneak ability to find a good hiding spot before opening his status.

There wasn't anything new, except for the previously empty Title section was shining. Dorian focused on it and rows of words appeared, along with the same voice as usual:

[A Title is gained when the Dreamer earns a certain amount of reputation. Those titles have different benefits depending on the quality of the title. A title may be used instead of the username if wanted.]

Dorian only had a single option, and that was the Butcher:

[Butcher: Able to produce a killing aura. This may be used to suppress people mentally. The more people you kill, the stronger the suppression becomes.]

This title was a pleasant surprise for Dorian. This new ability did not cost anything and would be useful against both weak and strong enemies.

Dorian closed his status and got out of hiding. Following this, Dorian started sneaking around the city, avoiding the place where he had killed the gangsters, and began killing weaker members around the city.

Like this, time passed quickly and soon four days had passed. Dorian had killed more than 30 members by himself. He had only killed this many members because he always avoided large groups.

This allowed Dorian to save energy and his supplies were able to last for one more day. But now, he was again suffering from hunger and thirst.

In the middle of the night, Dorian was unable to sleep and thus opened his status:
