When Blake looked into the hole, he saw something very unusual. Instead of a dead crow, the thing inside was actually a lump of black metal with a hint of purple in it. Looking at it, the only connection between the crow and this lump of metal was its color. If Blake didn't see the dead crow there previously, it would be impossible for him to realize that this lump was actually the remains of the crow.
'The heck is wrong with this world? Creatures turn into metal when they die? What about my treasure?' The questions kept spinning in Blake's mind as he stared, frozen, at the lump of metal.
After he recovered from the shock, Blake closed his eyes and opened the map in his mind. Luckily, the red dot was still there so there was no need to worry about it disappearing. He quickly opened his eyes and decided to leave everything else to after he retrieved the lump of metal and the treasure in it.
Swooping down, Blake picked up the lump of metal which was slightly heavier than expected and carried it out of the hole before putting it on the ground several meters away from the hole. When he landed in front of the lump and started checking it out curiously, he suddenly got the urge to eat the lump whole.
Just as he opened his mouth to swallow the lump of metal, Blake had the feeling of a cold breeze entering his mind, clearing his thoughts. Together with the breeze, a set of information appeared in his mind.
[Elementary inheritance stone: A unique stone of crystallized inheritance energy. Even thought it is called a stone its form actually varies based on the original owner's inheritance. By consuming an inheritance stone, one who has no inheritance will acquire an inheritance with a 90% chance. As for someone who already has an inheritance, by consuming an inheritance stone he or she will gain a clarity of mind that temporarily increases the speed of meditation by 90% and permanently increases the speed of meditation by 9%]

When he read this, Blake really couldn't help but marvel at this magical thing. If he could find a bunch more, wouldn't he be capable of defeating anyone just with the aura of sharpness? He naturally knew that since it was considered a treasure, then it must be rather hard to get but couldn't he at least dream big? After a bit of daydreaming, Blake asked in his mind, 'What about the best method of consumption?'
[There are two major ways to consume the inheritance stone. The first way is one that focuses on short term burst of benefits, it is used for example when attempting a breakthrough. The second way is slightly more complicated but it brings many long term benefits that the first way doesn't. Which one would you like to know?]
'Why even bother asking? I just made a breakthrough so there is no point in the short term burst. Tell me about the second method!' Answered Blake immediately.
[The second method is also called the Dual Inheritance Initiation Method. Split the inheritance stone in two and set up a simple formation to gather the stone's energy. The formation is at the end of the manual. Absorb the energy of those two halves of the inheritance stone and enjoy the benefits. The Dual Inheritance Initiation Method causes a 10% increase of the previously mentioned effects and an additional 1% chance to gain a second inheritance]
Blake was very pleasantly surprised by such great effects of the absorption method. Not mentioning the 10% increase of the original effects, just the 1% chance to get a second inheritance was an enormous opportunity for him. Just imagining how powerful he would be with a second inheritance made him tremble in excitement.
'Looks like it's time for some serious business.'
