It was night time and I was moving at full speed to fight the mage, that challanged me.

He had too less points to make a demon technique but he tried something else.
He clicked skill create, chose kill points and wrote the skill.
He clicked create as soon as he read the description and the cost of the skill.
He stopped moving for a second and waited for the skill to form. He then tried to use it instictively and ti worked!
He looked at his body and he could see the muscles in his body or see his bones, his blood flow his breating and the slow-motion world. He stopped after sometime as the technique used a decent chunk of his mana and his mana would run out in roughly 14 minutes? or that was the amount he could guess. Looks like the low kill points was traded for a high amount of mana.
He then blitzed towards the stated area as he wanted to check his new skill out and wanted to go in another area to gather more kill points.
*****
Boom*
A booming sound accompanied him and a slight crack appeared on the ground where he landed.
Whistle~"This is a nice hidden mansion." I thought as it was completely hidden, until I entered a bubble like area.
Suddenly a shadow approached me.
"Please follow me." Said the shadow as it quickly entered the forest like mansion, and I followed him.
*****
I was infront of a fighting arena and I saw the same mage from before.
I walked up towards the middle of the arena and talked with the mage. "Hey whats you name?" I asked.
"Its Bruce." Replied the mage.
"Let's fight." I said as I wanted to go kill monsters as quickly as possible.
"Sure." He replied and launched a fire ball as the ground turned into a large pit.

The world quickly changed in my view and I sent 10 powerful air shockwaves towards him. Which he blocked the first 9 with a giant earth wall's he had made up, but the last one delt a decent chunk of damage to a mage. And he quickly moved with a wind type spell.
Normally he would have been moving pretty fast but with the
Boom*
I juickly closed up on him and hit him with multiple shockwave enhanced punches and kicks in a second and a last annihilation type attack. Marking this fight over.
"Haaaaaaaaah..." Bruce sighed as he got up and his necklace was glowing.
'A protection treasure.' I thought as I had read about it in one of the books while waiting for the colosseum match to start. Anyway, the treasure seemed to heal him and provide him high level of defense in a dangerous situation.
"You good?" I asked and he replied, "Yes, I am fine. Would you like to join my clan?" He suddenly asked.
"Sure." I agreed instantly.
"...Well that was fast. Anyway my clan is called 'NightFall'. It is mostly made up of mages, and you being a magic knight are perfect for the job. You are talanted in both magic and knight combat as well as in regular combat. And if you agree you can work for me and it's not a bad option as I am the next patriarch of this clan."
I thougth for a while and replied with a "Sure." As I had no reason to refuse any help.
"Well, let one of my people guide you to one of the rooms and I will explain the situation abit more."
I agreed and I followed the guard.

***** POV Change*
"..Master Bruce, did you accept him to be your last 12-Night-Guardsmen?" Asked his butler and he replied, "Of course, I just did and I don't regret it. He is talented, strong in combat, and can maintain a calm head in any situation. Thought, I cannot guarantee his loyalty, he doesn't look untrustworthy."
'Especially I can feel a level of crazyness from him. He wouldn't hesitate to kill me if I tried to hurt him in anyway. But that isn't a bad thing as long as I play my cards right.' Bruce thought as he got up and ready to great his newest guardsmen.
*****
"We meet again." I replied as I was escorted to a large room and bruce walked in with a butler carrying a few things.
Bruce said, " These are a few essentials for a new guardsmen." And took off the cloth covering a tray.
"Woah!" I replied as it was filled with various pills and all of them looked expensive.
Bruce again continued, "These pills are to get you basic resistance to all sorts of elements and enhance your body but for a magic knight, most of them won't be necessary as only mages have weaker bodies."
After listening to what he said, a maid appeared with a few books filled with mana.
"These are books, with spells from basic level to the 6th circle as well as places you can visit, to get stronger. And basically you are going to be on a long journey until you reach 6th star but it shouldn't take too long for you." He said and continued as he took out a expensive looking badge from his pocket, "This is the '12-Night-Guradsmen' Badge which will help you be recognised by various people, and I hope you always put it on. And that is all, the brief information." Concluded bruce as he signaled for the people to get out the room.
"Now...let't talk about the serious matters." Bruce replied as he started informing me about the basics of his clan and the strong forces present in the world.
*****
Me and duke went out of his hidden mansion and I said, "Let's fight again after we become stronger."
"Sure. I accept the challange." Replied duke with a smile.
"I will come back after I reach 6th stage as a mage or close to 6th stage."
"I'll me waiting." Replied duke, and that was our farewell.
I learned alot more about this world, and I was heading towards a place where I could kill as many monsters as I liked. 'Wildlands, here I come.'
*3 days later*
Boom*
A booming sound could be heard as michale was barely half way towards his destination. And he had been at it for 3 days straight with no rest.
'The wildlands are just the neighbouring country. Why is it still so far?'
Michael complained as in his way was a heard of goblins and large goblins.
Over 50 goblins and 10 hobgoblins? he didn't know their exact amount.
'Free kill points.' Michael thought as he started changing his form.
<
His arms were converted to whips and 9 other thinner whips came out of his back.
The hobgoblins and goblins started rushing towards him but he was simply too fast, and killed them all quickly.
Boom*Slit*BOOM*
He just sliced anything in his way with his whips while he was naturally aiming at their weaknesses thanks to compass needle and the shockwave that followed each whip.
The fight was over before it even began. All the corpses layed on the ground. He hadn't eaten anything for the last few days and even thought he didn't need to eat normal food. He turned his whips to have mouths and he started feeding on the corpses of the hobgobins and goblins.
After eating a few of them, he gained unexpected knowledge from their bodies.
'I can see and recreate their dna in my body?' I could feel their genetic traits after feeding on their body. I tried to change my arm into that of a hobglbiins and it worked! but it only stayed for a few seconds.
"Looks like my Biokenesis abilities are not enought." He thought for a while then got a idea.

He remembered that the regression point can improve a skill over 10 times its original amount.
He instantly clicked on the (Regression Points) and clicked on the skill
He felt it growing larger and newer organs being added to it. He felt large hot energy being gathered in his body and he felt his body getting stronger and more tougher. Even thought his body was going through these changes, he didn't feel any pain as he was a demon king and had a different way of perceiving damage to his body.
He checked the sytem again and saw his skill name had changed.
I again turned my arm into that of a hobgoblin but it stayed for longer than possible. It became a permanent change! Even if my arm was chopped off, it would regrow into that of a hobgoblins. But, i didn't want that so I changed it back into my regular arm. (All the skills related to the anime demon slayer are reduced by 60%)
The buff was even crasier this time as all demon slayer skills were reduced by 60%. I reopened the system and typed out a skill.
I clicked create and I felt a mark being created in my whole arm, and I took off my shirt and it looked like a black centipede-dragon. And it was wrapping around my whole arm. Then I noticed the strenght difference of my arms. They felt 5 times stronger and more durable than before!
Whoosh*
I dashed forward and unlike a booming noise, I barely made any noise, but I was way faster, enought to speed blitz myself before the mark.
Basically this was a huge power boost. Then I remembered, 'Wasn't there a curse of people dying after reaching 25?' I stoped thinking about it as I was a demon and not a normal demon either I was the True demon king after all.
I looked at my kill points.
Kill Points: 108
I still had a few points to use and I decided to make a few skills.
After making these new skills he had no more kill points.
