Starting from one punch, I will not be a human being Chapter 009

Character name suggestions: Han Sen

Although the larger the monster, the more likely they are to become a background character, the increase in size often corresponds to a real surge in strength!

The life force and energy within his body had exploded exponentially, increasing by more than tenfold compared to the beginning!

At this moment, Han Sen even had the illusion that he possessed an immortal body!

The general-level height was tall and slender but not bulky. Every muscle and every bone seemed to be filled with scalding magma, full of explosive power!

“So, this is the joy of being a stat monster?”

After a long time, the surging wild energy in his body gradually subsided.

Han Sen slowly stood up, adapting to the elevated view as if looking down at ants.

He casually clenched his fist, his knuckles crackling like metal striking metal. The mere gust of wind caused by clenching his fist made the air let out a faint whine.

Cool!

Damn cool!

He subconsciously looked at the requirements for the next level upgrade—

[To upgrade “Overgrowth (SSR)” Lv 4 -> Lv 5, requires 8000 Origin Points.]

“Tsk.”

Seeing this astronomical figure, the boiling fanaticism in Han Sen’s eyes cooled slightly.

SSR abilities were indeed gold-devouring beasts. Just two or three clicks had consumed 7000 Origin Points, and the “gold coins” dropped by the Slime Octopus instantly evaporated by more than half. It was truly painful yet joyful.

Looking at the 5609 Origin Points remaining on the panel, Han Sen smacked his lips and temporarily gave up the idea of continuing to upgrade “Overgrowth.”

One must eat bit by bit, and walk step by step.

His gaze swept over the ability list again, landing on the remaining three golden-glowing SSR abilities.

“Overgrowth” provided powerful vitality and energy, which was equivalent to maxing out Han Sen’s basic HP and MP simultaneously.

But anyone who has played games knows that tankiness isn’t just about maxing out the HP bar; defense and resistance are equally important.

Especially in this world where destruction can happen at any moment, only by being alive can one deal damage.

Therefore, “Beast Body,” which also provided basic stats and toughness, instantly rose to the highest priority in his mind.

Getting HP to 40 first isn’t shameful!

The next golden ability to be upgraded was confirmed, but before adding points to the SSR, Han Sen planned to max out the two unsightly N-rank white abilities.

“Hardened Carapace” and “Basic Regeneration.”

Low rarity had its advantages, which was being cheap.

Although cheap things were often not good, the system description stated that once upgraded to Lv 10 (max level), the copied abilities could be completely integrated into the body, no longer occupying valuable ability slots.

And the max-level abilities possessed by the main body could break through their original limits!

Han Sen had not used this function yet, but now that he had ample Origin Points and could free up an ability slot, he naturally had to experience it.

A simple calculation showed that upgrading a white ability from Lv 3 to Lv 10 (max level) required 4+ 8+ 16+ 32+ 64+ 128+ 256, totaling 508 Origin Points.

Han Sen, with his newfound wealth, waved his hand—

“System, max out ‘Basic Regeneration’ first!”

[Consumed Origin Points x 508, “Basic Regeneration” level increased! Lv 3 -> Lv 10 (MAX)!]

[Ding! Copied ability “Basic Regeneration” has reached max level, integrated into the main body, ability slot freed!]

[Current occupied ability slots: 4/15.]

Since Han Sen had already initially stepped into the ranks of stat monsters, his internal life force was extremely vast.

Even though the effect of the maxed-out “Basic Regeneration” was several times stronger than it was initially, it only made him feel a slight increase in muscle activity and a faster MP recovery rate.

However, Han Sen was not disappointed. After all, it was a white ability, and max level was its limit.

The Lv 10 max-level “Basic Regeneration” shimmered with golden light in the main body’s ability section, as if saying, “Come play with me, master.”

But Han Sen remained unmoved and continued to upgrade his innate ability, “Hardened Carapace,” which he had possessed from the start.

[Consumed Origin Points x 508, “Hardened Carapace” level increased! Lv 3 -> Lv 10 (MAX)!]

Crack, crack, crack—!

The grotesque black armor covering his entire body emitted a series of fine friction sounds, becoming thicker, more solid, and gleaming with the deep, restrained, hard luster of obsidian.

Han Sen tapped his breastplate with his finger, producing a “clang, clang” sound like metal striking metal, dull and powerful.

His already formidable defense had risen another level, and in this dangerous world, increased toughness directly brought a full sense of security!

After maxing out two N-rank abilities, 4593 Origin Points remained on the panel.

Han Sen, in one go, invested points into “Beast Body” until he couldn’t upgrade it further, his physique and toughness soaring towards the level of Dragon-level monsters like Boros.

[Consumed Origin Points x 1000, “Beast Body” level increased! Lv 1 -> Lv 2!]

[Consumed Origin Points x 2000, “Beast Body” level increased! Lv 2 -> Lv 3!]

Power surged wildly within his body, like a mountain torrent, impacting every inch of his tendons, bones, and flesh!

Han Sen could feel that the density and quality of his bones, the strength and toughness of his muscles, and other aspects were undergoing a qualitative change. A feeling of being as heavy as a mountain and indestructible arose spontaneously!

A moment later, having adapted to the terrifying increase brought by the stat allocation, Han Sen once again summoned the system panel.

It seemed like there wasn’t much change, but his strength compared to the beginning was like heaven and earth!

Disaster Level—Demon!!!

Looking at the striking “Demon” character on the panel, Han Sen’s three-meter-tall body trembled.

A terrifying aura, far exceeding anything before, unconsciously leaked out, making the air in the entire nest seem to grow heavier!

As expected, murder and arson brought wealth. Eliminating a hoarder-type octopus monster directly allowed Han Sen to complete his initial accumulation of capital ahead of time.

He continuously leveled up within a single day, savagely growing to the Demon-level monster stage!

One must know that Demon-level monsters corresponded to the Hero Association’s S-class heroes, the top powerhouses among humans!

At this moment, Han Sen had initially acquired the capital to establish himself in this cruel world!

Arigato, Mei Yangyang-san…

No! It’s…

Arigato, Slime Octopus-san!

Calming his agitated mood, Han Sen finally had time to “favor” the two N-rank abilities on the panel that were provocatively flashing with golden light.

[Ding! Detected evolvable ability. Do you want to consume 1000 Origin Points to evolve “Hardened Carapace (N)”? (Yes/No)]

[Ding! Detected evolvable ability. Do you want to consume 1000 Origin Points to evolve “Basic Regeneration (N)”? (Yes/No)]

Seeing the system prompts that popped up, Han Sen paused and fell silent.
