The Demon’s Menu

Just thinking about it with his toes, it was impossible.

Moreover, why did Aras’s mother have to leave ’Ang City’ after getting married and giving birth to Aras?

Peripheral details emerged in Jason’s mind, allowing him to swiftly deduce the picture of Aras’s maternal grandfather being ’an enemy of the entire world,’ stepping into a ’trap,’ after which Aras’s mother had no choice but to flee far away.

If that were the case, would the death of Aras’s father be as it appeared?

Of course, it’s not excluding the possibility that he died early due to complications from being severely beaten by Aras’s mother.

But Jason still believed that the key point couldn’t be that simple.

Then, Jason subconsciously thought of Aras.

Was Aras safe now?

Jason asked himself and quickly came to a conclusion.

Aras should be safe, not just because she was strong enough herself, but also because of Edmund and Esther.

Edmund was smart and cautious.

Esther was adaptable to circumstances.

Especially the latter, Jason had witnessed her power firsthand.

The three of them together, naturally, there wouldn’t be any problems.

Sigh.

Thinking this, Jason let out a slight sigh of relief.

He closed his eyes once again.

He was waiting for the next dawn.

And before that?

He would conserve his energy.

A proper allocation would result in twice the effect with half the effort.

Jason firmly believed this.

Therefore, at this moment, while relaxing his body, he began summarizing his battles in his mind, contemplating the gains and losses from a series of previous fights.

Becoming powerful wasn’t something that could be achieved in an instant.

What was needed was constant, persistent effort.

Jason had understood this truth very early on.

Moreover, he acted accordingly.

Of course, he hadn’t forgotten to make reasonable use of his own talent.

"Satiety, add points!"

Jason looked at the skills, the secret technique list, where ’Thrust’ was still at a basic level, and could be enhanced with only satiety points.

For Jason, who currently had 381 satiety points, mere 8 points of satiety were naturally trivial.

Thrust (Beginner): ’Sword Saint’ Avent, based on the long spear techniques in the military camp and some assassin schools’ short sword and dagger skills, created this technique. However, you, with your ’unique talent,’ have made some modifications, making it more suitable for yourself. Effect: When wielding a sword or knife, consume a bit of physical strength to execute an agility +0.4 enhanced attack.]

...

Knives?

Jason frowned.

However, he then relaxed his brow.

His swordsmanship talent should be excellent, but having used knives extensively, his unconscious crossover may have started guiding his knife proficiency. Otherwise, how could ’Thrust’ have gained the evaluation of ’unique talent’ and the mention of ’when wielding sword or knife’?

All of this proved his extraordinary talent.

Of course, all this was built upon his persistent and extraordinary perseverance.

Otherwise, even the best talent would be of no use.

Upgrading ’Thrust’ from beginner to proficient level required 12 points of satiety, without needing any Excitement of Feast. Jason once again chose to upgrade.

Reaching proficient level in ’Thrust,’ there were no further changes, only the added agility had increased to 0.5.

To advance to proficiency level, it would require 16 points of satiety and 1 point of Excitement of Feast.

"Not bad."

Feeling the harmony between knowledge and body, Jason appraised it thus.

An increase of 0.5 in agility was quite significant.

At this moment, with his agility at 3.5, with the additional 0.5, he could burst forth with four times the speed of an ordinary person in an instant.

Then, Jason naturally thought.

"If only I had such an enhancement for barehanded fighting!"

"Combined with the basic effect of [Battle Mark.Prus.Griffin.Shadow Concealment Body Forging Technique] and the inherent talent [Daytime Hunt], my punches would be faster and more powerful."

"And the reverse is true as well!"

"Greater speed will make my knife sharper!"

Jason fell into deep thought unconsciously.

And in the days that followed, he spent most of his time pondering while hunting for food.

Mostly thinking.

Hunting at dawn.

Time passed day by day.

Jason couldn’t be sure if time here was different from the outside world, but on his main task, the days were indeed ticking by.

And the idea of making his fists faster and his knife sharper?

It was gradually becoming a reality.

Although Jason was at first clueless, he was a man willing to experiment. Whenever he had a chance, he would activate [Daytime Hunt] while performing [Thrust].

The first time, although his arm twisted into a twist and his chest caved in, his relentless attempts, supported by his great talent, eventually led him to some tricks after trying 20 times.

Then, after 30 more practices, and his heart bursting 30 times, some changes finally appeared on his panel.

[Thrust (Proficient): ’Sword Saint’ Avent, based on the military camp’s long spear techniques and some assassin schools’ short sword and dagger skills, created this technique. But you, with your ’unique talent,’ have greatly improved it, making it more suitable for yourself, effect: whether wielding sword, knife, or barehanded, can consume a bit of physical strength to perform an agility +0.5 enhanced attack.]

...

[Battle Mark.Prus.Griffin.Shadow Concealment Body Forging Technique] also underwent a new change, with the word ’unarmed combat’ now followed by parentheses specifically noting ’with a knife.’]
