The name alone suggested that this technique would not come without its share of hardships. The thought of enduring intense pain was daunting, but the allure of its promised threefold increase in soul strength was too tempting to ignore

Following the whispers, he discovered a black-covered book tucked away between two bulky volumes at the bottom of a shelf.

Curiosity piqued, Alex carefully pulled out the mysterious book and revealed its title: "Demon Body." The moment his eyes landed on those words, he felt an inexplicable connection. The slim volume, comprising only fifteen pages, held an air of secrecy and promise. Intrigued, he gingerly opened the book and began to peruse its contents.

The techniques described within resonated with his innate strengths and potential. The book offered a unique approach to body cultivation, focusing on tapping into the dormant powers within, unleashing his inner demon-like strength.

Alex decided to include the "Demon Body" book as his third choice. With all three skill books in hand, he made his way back to the librarian's desk to register them officially. As the librarian caught sight of the "Demon Body" book, a serious expression crossed his face, and he looked at Alex intently.

"You should be aware that this is an exceptionally challenging skill, and it requires a specific condition to begin," the librarian cautioned.

Alex met the librarian's gaze confidently and responded, "Yes, I'm aware that it requires the user to have awakened a cursed weapon, and I am the one who has awakened such a weapon."

The librarian remained silent for a moment, his eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and contemplation. He then proceeded to register the books under Alex's name, acknowledging his choice. As Alex left the desk, the librarian's gaze followed him, deep in thought.

"I have done my part," the librarian muttered quietly, his voice filled with a mix of anticipation and concern. "I hope this child will fulfill your last longing request."
