Monarch of corruption. It was an amazing class and the reason I chose it was clear. One might think it was because I wanted to get laid but that wasn't it. I got that part covered by going to the brothels. No.

Loyalty. The biggest problem of Murim and one that wouldn't be solved for an eternity. You can never trust anyone in Murim.

Not even mortals could be trusted let alone cultivators. So, I took this class. This class had two usages. I could either make a person my most loyal servant, or a damaged person whose mind, body, or soul were as good as dead.

The class may have four skills that could be used, but they have a pattern. Mind and body don't present any risk. It isn't like corruption; it's more making the other man person more susceptible to you. They tend to be more favorable to you.

Even if it was done abruptly, it wouldn't damage them permanently. The damage was reversible and treatable. The mind was fickle but I was not targeting the mind but simply offering a suggestion that the other man was more likely to accept. However, if I force my way in, then the consequences could be a little severe but like I said before, the damage was not permanent in this case.

Moving on to the body, the target finds you more tolerable, and more favorable. The more their corruption increases, the more comfortable they are with your presence.

Nothing more, nothing less. Mind and body work in tandem and they possess no permanent risks.

However, things get worse from the soul. Even though it wasn't stated in the description, soul corruption was more favorable when the mind and body were corrupted to a certain extent. If not, just targeting the soul wasn't such a good idea.

Soul damage would last, permanent in some conditions as well.

As for the last one, well, I only ever used it once so I hadn't experimented much with it. That skill was overpowered as hell but thank goodness it came with restrictions. Unlike soul corruption, which was suggested to be only used when mind and body corruption was to a certain extent, however, it could still be forcefully used, but the corruption of existence was impossible unless the preexisting requirements were kept.

Anyway, all of this explanation was useless. I wasn't going to use soul and existence corruption on my loved ones. They both do irreversible damage in some cases. I never had a thing for mindless dolls so I never made any woman go through the soul and existence corruption.

And like I said, the first two weren't so unethical. All they did was make me more favorable to them. Like, mom that day was not comfortable with me staring at her but if I were to get her corruption a little higher, both mind and body, she wouldn't mind so much. She might even enjoy it.

However, in the first two cases, the target keeps a rational mind. Like if Mom thought that me and her were inappropriate, she may be okay with the visual stuff, but she may not allow more. That would have to be allowed by her heart.

I let out a lengthy sigh as I checked my status so I could begin working on my cleansing. Also, I needed to work on Samantha and others now. Now that I had Qi, the sooner I began, the sooner I would be able to have them.

[Name: Jacob Conner (Kim Hyu Jin)]

[Age: 20 (1020)]

[Level: 10(27%)]

[HP: 19\19]

[Ki: 90\390]

[Class: Dark cultivator (Locked)]

[Secondary class: Monarch of corruption]

[Strength: 15]

[Agility: 18]

[Stamina: 19]

[Intelligence: 19]

[Charm: 21]

[Ki: 39]

[AP: 0]

To be honest, my status was looking pathetic but I was still happy. For this world, this much was more than enough. Not to mention, I could still level up, although very slowly.

And only my Ki stat was important stat. In terms of other stats, I was already pretty much above human limits. Though I will even them all to twenty to be superior to others.

My main class was locked, which was a bummer and I doubt I would ever be able to unlock it. Level 50 in this world wasn't so easy. I mean, I had to kill so many guys just to reach level 10. Reaching level 50 would require genocide and even I wasn't that cruel.

I opened the inventory and a lot of things appeared in my view. My focus was on just two things among many others.

[Ki restoration pill(F)] [x187114]

[Effect: Restores 100 points of Ki]

[Ling Shen(F)] [x28173]

[Effect: A highly addictive drug with no side effects]

The Qi pills were one thing but the drug was another. It wasn't for me of course, and it might not even work on me. It wasn't for cultivators at such a low rank after all.

It was for mortals. When I was back at the place where I created my first business ever, I had an idea. I had Ling Shen in my inventory as well. Of course, it didn't belong to me. There were many unorthodox sects in the Murim that dabbled in all sorts of crimes.

One of them was Ling Shen. A drug that could cause a strong sense of Euphoria with no side effects as long as the use was moderate. It was better than most modern drugs that caused tons of side effects.

The business idea that I had was simple. Become a drug lord. It was simple and the fastest way of becoming rich. Of course, I would need a front but that was for later.

First of all, I needed to deal with the most immediate problem of mine. The cleansing.

So I took three Ki restoration pills in quick succession and began to absorb them. My Ki core was filled in under a minute thanks to the pills and I began my cleansing. I just needed to clean my blood first so I would require at most 1000 Ki points. Of course, since I was also burning the waste so it wouldn't smell, I would have to use 2000 Ki points.

Not a problem because I had a lot of Ki restoration pills.

The Ki soon enough ran out so I stopped. I then absorbed three more and then once again, I began to burn the waste in my blood.

It again ran out. So I took three more. Once again, the cycle was completed and I felt a little lightheaded. Cleansing required a proper mindset and juggling between Ki restoration and cleansing took a lot of toll on my mind.

And then, there was that other thing. There was a limit to everything. And that was the main reason something higher than a restoration pill rank F was made.

As soon as I took the tenth pill, I received a bunch of notifications.

[You have consumed Ki restoration pills (F) in quick succession]

[Your body has become immune to it]

[Effect would be decreased by 50%]

[Please wait 48 hours for the effects to return to normal]

Great.
