'This is actually easier to look at.'
Corey thought as he looked at the skill section of his status window. It was no longer clustered together and was now much better and easier to look at.
Corey looked at his status window and the first change he noticed was his level which had increased from 100 to 124.
The second change was his dexterity and agility which had increased, though not to the next level which was Yellow Star.
The last change which occurred to Corey's status window was his Free Attribute Points (Free A.P) which surprised Corey a little.
The number of value points he had was 480% and from Corey's calculations, this meant that for every level Corey got, Corey was given 20% Free A.P, which was… little in Corey's opinion.
'Or maybe it's not little and others don't get as much as I do.'
Corey's brows furrowed slightly as he pondered in his thoughts. A few seconds passed and with a soft exhale he closed his status window.
'From my calculations, one would need 4,200% Free A.P to maximize their attributes by reaching the peak of violet star.'
'So that means, if I decide to depend on my 20% Free A.P to maximize my stats, I would definitely not be able to maximize my stats.'
Corey's brows furrowed slightly as he came to this realization, his mind then went to the Elemental Breathing Technique that was given to him by the Paragon Ancestor.
'Is this probably why he gave me the book?'
This thought passed through Corey's mind and just as it did, Old man poison, his master, spoke.
"Why are you daydreaming you brat? Are you done with the book?"
Corey came out from his thoughts and with a calm expression, he turned towards his master who was looking back at him with slightly furrowed brows that held a hint of disappointment in them.
"Daydreaming when reading a book shows a lack of interest towards the contents of the book."
Hearing his master's words, Corey understood what he was trying to say and with a soft shake of his head, Corey spoke:
"Although I don't completely agree with your words, I was not daydreaming. I've finished the book."
Old man poison raised his brows slightly and just as he was about to speak, Corey stood and with a calm expression, Corey walked over to him.
A few seconds later, Corey stood in front of his master and with a calm expression, he stretched out his arm, his hand holding the book which his master gave him.
"You can ask me any question from the book."
Old man poison glanced at the book then his eyes moved towards Corey's face which had an expression of ease, calmness and confidence.
He observed Corey's expression for a few seconds then without saying anything, he stood, ignoring the book in Corey's hands.
"Since you're so calm and confident, just know that If you make a mistake when concocting, you'd be in serious trouble."
Without turning back nor looking at Corey, old man poison spoke and with a smile of slight amusement and a minute raise of his brows, Corey just shrugged and followed his master after dropping the book on a nearby table.
Just as Corey was walking towards old man poison, he remembered something which he wanted to ask for some time now but he always forgot.
"Can you tell me why you had five people attacking you just before I came and can you also tell me who those people were?"
Old man poison turned his head slightly towards Corey's direction hearing his question. Silence permeated the room as no words escaped old man poison's lips for at least seven seconds.
Just when Corey was thinking that the matter was probably a sensitive subject and that his master preferred not to speak about it, his master spoke:
"Those five fools are from the, The Devourers… They wanted me to create more intoxicating drugs and pills for them while promising me a huge salary and lots of benefits in return."
With his tone devoid of emotions, Corey's master spoke and the atmosphere in the room changed… it became more… negative.
Although Corey had questions to ask and a few things to say, he decided not to speak sensing his master's bad mood.
"I'd rather not talk about those fools at the moment, so let's start your lessons on creating poisons and probably different kinds of medicines."
Standing in front of a laboratory bench filled with numerous equipment, Corey's master spoke and Corey walked to his side.
"What do I have to do?"
Corey asked and his master smiled.
"Lots of poisonous things my student, lots of poisonous things."

(Three days later)
"Monster."
Old man poison muttered as he looked at the back of his student who was leaving through the front door of his mansion.
His eyes containing a mix of various emotions.
"What sort of comprehension, learning speed and talent does he have… Three days, all it took him was three days to learn how to concoct every tier 1 poison I knew."
"If not because I decided to teach him other things like medicine, precision and accuracy, he would have probably learnt how to concoct tier 2 poisons."
Old man poison muttered and a soft exhale was released from his lips. He looked up, his eyes containing various emotions.
"Although he's extremely talented… I hope I don't create a monster… Just like the last one."
Seconds passed as old man poison kept on looking at the artificial sky above the city of sin.
