[25,000 Hunter Points]
He stared at the glowing panel for a few moments, his eyes slowly scanning down the list.
There were so many skills—far more than he expected.
Unlike before when he only had a few skills on the system shop, he now had more options of things to purchase from.
Of course this was because of the increase in his strength, which was why the system automatically added more skills to the shop.
He noticed that there was no shortage of F to C-rank skills. They were everywhere, almost flooding the list.
Each one seemed practical and relatively affordable, designed for broad use.
But when he scrolled further down, the higher-rank ones became more scarce. B-rank skills were few and far between, and A-rank skills stood out like rare jewels among the rest.
The difference in their descriptions alone was obvious.
The low-rank ones offered simple boosts—more speed, tougher skin, better endurance—but the higher-ranked ones carried far more impact.
There were even a few that did more than just enhance, and could be used as game-changers.
Damien's eyes continued to move, carefully reading through each skill.
Then, his gaze settled on one particular skill.
His expression didn't change, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
'Golden Release…' he thought, his eyes shining with a dark glint.
Ever since he saw this skill, it had always been on his mind.
After all, he could freely cum inside the pussies of Nora and Claire without having to worry about them getting pregnant unexpectedly.
His semen alone would also be able to boost his chances of conquering more MILFS, which was a benefit he just couldn't pass up on.
The corner of his lips curled faintly, and without wasting any more time, he purchased the skill.
[You have purchased Golden Release (A-rank)!]
A new notification appeared before him.
'Finally.' he mumbled inwardly, nodding his head slightly.
The moment he purchased the skill, he felt a faint pulse of energy course through him.
It was mainly saturated around his crotch, or rather, on his cock.
His gaze drifted down to the long, dangling organ, watching as it twitched with life.
The feeling only lasted for a while before finally disappearing.
He observed his cock, but didn't notice anything strange about it.
He then turned his attention back to the rest of the skills on the shop.
He could already tell that most of the skills listed weren't worth his time anymore. His power had grown too far beyond the level of ordinary hunters.
'System… filter out all skills D-rank and below,' he commanded.
The effect was instantaneous. The panel flickered, and one by one, the lower-ranked skills vanished from sight—the F-ranks disappeared first, then the D-ranks followed in rapid succession.
In a matter of seconds, the long list had shortened drastically, leaving behind only a handful of skills.

There were far fewer options now, but what remained radiated power.
Each description seemed more dangerous, more useful, and infinitely more suited for his current stage of growth.
The difference between D-rank and B-rank was like night and day, and he could feel it from the moment he read the descriptions.
After pondering for a while, Damien finally made his choice.
[You have purchased Phantom Step(C-rank)!]
[You have purchased Ghost Strike(B-rank)!]
[You have purchased Super Dash(B-rank)!]
[You have purchased Reflective Guard(A-rank)!]
The four lines floated before him like threads of light in the air, overlapping briefly before settling into place.
The corners of his mouth tilted upward slightly, and his gaze sharpened.
'Out of all the options, these are the best for me currently.' he thought.
It wasn't just about raw power or flashy effects. Each one of these skills complemented each other properly, and also great for his current self.
With [Phantom Step], he would be able to deceive opponents on the battlefield.
His lack of attack skills was also somewhat covered up with [Ghost Strike], which could unleash a second attack replicating almost the full power of the original.
[Super Dash] was like an advanced version of [Minor Speed Boost], granting him a double increase in speed!
That, coupled with [Phantom Step], would certainly make him a terrible opponent for many.
There was also [Reflective Guard], which could practically bounce back attacks thrown at him to their sender.
