Chaos Warlord: Reincarnated in Eldrich with the Devil System!

They also had to question their understanding of Val.

They knew him as a sweet and sensible kid, someone who was hard to come by in Eldrich, but the Val they had seen today was pretty cruel.

They didn't know that Val was the reincarnation of a Warlord from Earth. After all, He had been acting like a gentleman since he was born in Eldrich as even a level 1 bloodline user could sweep the floor with him, but now that he had become a bloodline user himself and his father needed him more than ever, he had stopped holding back and revealed his true face that struck fear in the hearts of his enemies!

[Ding! Congratulations Host. For putting the triplets in their place, you have gained a few dozen Mad Points!]

Val's lips stretched back into a smile, but it was so weak that it could barely be discerned.

Defeating the Triplets netted him +25 Mad Points!

He now had a total of 600 MP. He decided to decide what to do with it later. 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

'Let's train.'

Having dealt with the unsavory interruption, Val returned to the task he had set out to accomplish: executing the postures depicted in the Body Strengthening Manual.

The manual was a mix of complex and simple poses, pushing the limits of flexibility and strength. However, thanks to Val's rigorous training regime since childhood and his naturally high stats, he found himself able to perform these poses with relative ease.

His body contorted and twisted into angles that seemed to defy the natural human anatomy.

Then, he swiftly transitioned into a quadruped stance, akin to a beast ready to pounce.

Fluidly and seamlessly, he transitioned from one posture to another, each movement performed with precision and grace, demonstrating his exceptional physical control.

As a result, an invigorating surge of energy coursed through him, making him feel lighter as if he could leap into the sky.

This energy wasn't confined to merely giving him a sense of euphoria. He could feel it seeping into his skin, invigorating his muscles, and fortifying his bones. It was as if he had tapped into an infinite source of power that was revitalizing every inch of his being.

Val could undoubtedly feel himself growing stronger by the second!

Half an hour after Val immersed himself in practicing the Body Strengthening Manual, a notification from the system sounded in his mind.

[Your strength has increased to 25 points!]

[Your agility has increased to 25 points!]

A grin spread across his face, satisfaction glinting in his eyes.

The results far exceeded his initial expectations!

'Sadly, I won't be able to benefit from it again.'

Despite the pleasant rush of improvement, Val was mindful of one crucial detail.

The Body Strengthening Manual had its limitations.

It was an excellent guide to building one's physical stats from scratch, but it came with a clear ceiling: it could only raise one's Strength and Agility up to 25 points each.

Now, having reached those limits, the manual had effectively exhausted its usefulness for Val.

Basically, he could no longer rely on it to further increase his Strength and Agility.

This posed a problem, but not one without a solution.

The Manual might have reached the end of its utility for Val, but it could still be a valuable asset to others!

'This is a case where something I deem, useless holds tremendous value in the eyes of others.'

Recognizing this point, Val made a decision.

He was going to put the manual up for auction.

The best venue for this, he knew, was the upcoming auction held within the IronSpire Stronghold.

The event was to be conducted by none other than the Starlight Auction House. It was one of the most reputable establishments in the Victoria kingdom with an expansive reach, and it was renowned throughout the three lands of humans, operating numerous branches. One of these branches was within the IronSpire Stronghold.

The Starlight Auction House was not only known for its exquisite and high-end ambiance but also for its experienced auctioneers who managed the trade of the rarest and most sought-after items. Its reputation attracted a diverse clientele, from wealthy high-borns to ardent collectors, all in search of precious treasures and exotic artifacts.

Val saw this as an opportunity, the perfect platform to capitalize on the value of his Body Strengthening Manual.

A treasure of this sort, unearthed from a dungeon, would surely catch the eye of many bidders at the Starlight Auction House!

It was honestly the best strategic move to maximize the potential of his newfound asset.

'Nothing left to do here. My stamina bar is also quite low. Let's just sit back and rest for the day.'

Val have accomplished what he'd set out to do at the training ground, so he returned to the sanctuary of his room within the IronSpire stronghold.

His Mad Points had been racking up steadily through his efforts, and he now had an impressive 600 Mad Points at his disposal.

The time had come to put these to good use!

Navigating through the interface of his Status Screen, Val selected the option to trade his Mad Points for Stat Points.

His accumulated Mad Points rapidly dwindled as he made the transaction, leaving him with six new Stat Points.

He didn't hesitate in his decision on how to distribute these points as he knew he needed to enhance his reflexes and stamina if he wanted to complete his dream of being an all-rounder and be more resilient in the battles that he might fight in the future whether against devils, humans, beasts, or the walking dead.

Three points went into each of these stats, improving them from their previous values.

[Your REF has increased to 20 points!]

[Your STA has increased to 20 points!]

A wave of power flooded Val as he felt the tangible effects of his improved stats.

His senses sharpened, and the world around him seemed to slow slightly, every sound and movement more noticeable than before. His endurance too, surged with this improvement,
