know the taste of these creatures, but it’s still meat and there’s enough to share. You’ll need to bleed and skin them, but it’s also best if you learn to hunt on your own. I’ll teach basic martial arts and how to hunt these creatures to anyone who wants to learn.”

The people thanked him as they took the creatures away. In his Scan, John found them putting the creatures inside a cave after they finished skinning it.

Sarah explained that before refrigerators were invented, people used to put food inside caves like that to keep it cold. They could even collect ice from inside the cave, but not much. She didn’t know the full details because she had just heard about it somewhere back on Earth.

Over the next few weeks, the village had built a large building for Sarah’s medical practice only a few days prior, and since then, Sarah had been setting it up to receive her first patients. It could hold several dozen beds with room to spare and it was built next to their house, on the side away from the jungle.

John trained Kelly and fifty other people who wanted to learn how to hunt. John only knew the basics like how to set up simple traps, how to track an animal, and how to find water sources, but he hadn’t used any of that knowledge since becoming an immortal. Of those fifty, more than half came back to learn martial arts and they became increasingly stronger.

John also started teaching Kelly how to use a sword. It was a funny sight seeing a five-year-old child swing a wooden sword which was almost as tall as her. He wasn’t planning to teach her about weapons until her body had grown a bit more, but Kelly was getting bored of the same routine every day. It seemed to relieve her boredom, evidence being that Kelly never stopped practicing after getting it. They fell into another routine as four more months passed by quickly.

On this day, John opened the system to check and noticed something.

Toxin Pool (Brain): 9.99T

*UNIQUE* Conversion - Idlers 0/2160, Complete - 0/1

The brain’s capacity was full at ten trillion, but even though he hadn’t obtained the full amount, the skill unlocked anyway, confusing him greatly.

John looked at the skill for five seconds for the description to come up.

*UNIQUE* Conversion:

Complete: Forcefully changes the last 4 units of Life Power into Toxin Power.

John knitted his brows at the description.

Why wouldn’t I be able to change those units to Toxin Power without this skill?

It took a few seconds for him to come up with the answer.

Toxin Power needs five units of Life Power to change, but if every neuron or cell already has Toxin Power stored inside them to full capacity, then I can’t absorb anymore Life Power to get up to the five units needed for the conversion!

Which means it’s technically full at 9.99 trillion, unlocking the skill.

This system has a thing for whole numbers! When I was mortal, the system put my strength, defence, and stamina into numbers, but when I had completed everything it wasn’t a whole number, until the system gave me a boost to make it a perfect, whole number.

Ah, that’s another thing I’ve noticed. The only other UNIQUE skills the system has creates oxygen inside the lungs and gives me the ability to combine elements to create different elements.

Three different skills can’t be a coincidence, it seems all the UNIQUE skills are those that create things.

John looked at the numbers of the Toxin Pool’s Brain in the system, and like he thought, all the numbers besides the last ended in a nine. The last digit was six, so John had four Life Power that couldn’t be converted into Toxin Power.

Seeing as the system had a counter for the same Toxin Pool but for the body, he tried swapping the four Life Power in his brain for four Toxin Power in his body. No matter what he tried, it didn’t work.

He told Sarah about it since he’d share the skill with her once it was finished.

During the stay in the village, Sarah had finished strengthening her branches and also gained enough Toxin Power to officially enter Rank 7. Now that she had nourished her body with the new cultivation method, any Toxin Power that would’ve disappeared from the neurons because of the natural defence would now get stored inside her body. She was also strengthening the cells at a much faster rate thanks to the nourished body.

At this rate, Sarah reckoned she could get a level once every six months instead of the multitude of years it would’ve taken without the nourished body.

If that was true, Sarah would be able to get to Rank 8 in about five years.

All Sarah was doing these days, besides training and teaching Kelly, was waiting for the beds to be made for her medical practice. The villagers needed to make enough beds to fill her new building, which would take a while without machines to do it for them.

John kept training those who wanted to become knights. During one of his off days, he disappeared to the capital to find out how knights usually fought in battles. If he wanted to keep blending in, then he’d have to properly train the villagers the same way real knights were trained by the kingdom.

Without keeping up this facade, he would risk being discovered if a bunch of knights who trained under the same instructor had no idea how to perform their duties but could instead kill every single knight in the castle with ease.

Once he got back, he changed the trainees’ training to fit what he discovered.

Another six months passed.

John was in a pretty good mood since all his trainees, especially Kelly, had made huge improvements. To celebrate, he took a huge slab of meat from the Komodo Dragon and cooked it for his family.

After he had finished eating, he looked at Kelly before speaking. “Let’s extend this small celebration to the
