"Swallow!"
Aoki's eyes narrowed as he activated "Devouring Demon."
A vortex seemed to appear in his palm.
The horned demon's body twisted and compressed, gradually disappearing into Aoki's palm from its head to its neck and chest.
The previous battle wasn't just for venting; "Devouring Demon" could easily be interrupted, so he had to ensure the target couldn't resist before activating it.
In the blink of an eye, the horned demon was completely devoured by Aoki's palm.
A surge of abundant energy flowed into his body, and the intense hunger that had filled his mind since transforming into a demon finally dissipated.
[Killed a demon, gained 15 experience points.]
["Path of the Otherworlders" complete, reward issued.]
[Congratulations on leveling up!]
"15 experience points, not bad!"
Aoki nodded slightly, and with a thought, a deep blue screen appeared.

...
Aoki pondered for a while and added the two attribute points to Strength and Agility respectively.
The four-dimensional attributes on the system panel are not isolated, but different aspects of a whole, deeply interconnected.
Therefore, the difference between different attributes should ideally be kept within two points, otherwise serious physical problems will occur.
For example,
if Strength is too high and Constitution is too low, a punch might not even cause damage to the enemy before causing muscle strain or broken bones.
If strength is too high and agility too low, coordination and flexibility will be severely lacking, turning you into a slow, stiff, muscular giant.
Of the four dimensions, strength has the greatest impact on physical attacks, so it should definitely be prioritized.
Adding one point to agility will ensure that the difference in all attributes is within two points.
There's one skill point left.
Without hesitation, Aoki directly added it to "Demon Blood."
He had researched it.
"White Walkers" are different from "Hunters."
A "Hunter's" four skills are independent; which one to learn first is entirely up to the individual.
However, this isn't the case for "White Walkers."
The skills of "White Walkers" are interconnected.
"Demon Blood" is a basic skill; only after reaching a certain level can other skills be learned.
Boom!
The moment "Demon Blood" was activated, a powerful force surged into his body, and a system notification appeared.
[All attributes +1.]
"I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise!"
Aoki's face lit up with delight.
Adding one point to all attributes is equivalent to leveling up twice; this improvement is considerable.
As expected, his regenerative abilities, darkvision, and other abilities befitting a demon have also been further enhanced.
"Demon Blood" is fundamental and core, no less powerful than the other three skills.
"Finally."
A long, black conical hat suddenly appeared in Aoki's hand, its edge trimmed with black gauze. A
sun hat, another reward from the "Path of the Otherworlders," and the first physical item he received from the system.
After a brief examination, a flicker of surprise returned to Aoki's eyes.
As the name suggests, the sun hat's effect is to block sunlight.
Unlike ordinary hats, this sun hat completely blocks sunlight.
Moreover, its effective range extends beyond the area covered by the black gauze; it forms a cylindrical area bounded by the hat's edge.

Willing to lie about how we met
In other words, once worn, the entire body can be protected from sunlight.
The name is unremarkable, but for a demon, it's an absolute godsend.
Aoki hung the sun hat around his neck and slung it behind his back: "With this, I won't be so afraid of the daytime anymore."
He hadn't forgotten that the Blue Spider Lily could help demons overcome sunlight.
In fact, the first thing Aoki thought of after becoming a demon was the Blue Spider Lily.
However, there were a few problems.
First, he wasn't sure if the Blue Spider Lily would work on him.
Muzan Kibutsuji was the Demon Ancestor; he had a system, so the situation couldn't be generalized.
Second, the Blue Spider Lily's blooming period was extremely short, and it was affected by climate and environment, sometimes not even blooming for a year. Even if he knew where it grew, he might not be able to obtain it in the short term.
Third, the Blue Spider Lily wasn't something you could just eat; it needed to be concocted into a medicine. He didn't know medicine, nor did he have anyone he could trust.
Fourth, he didn't know where Tanjiro's house was. He
could find it, but it would definitely take a lot of time.
With that time, he might be able to overcome sunlight using the system.
If the system can't do this, it's not too late to look for the Blue Spider Lily in the future.

Aoki looked at his completely revamped attributes.
Compared to before becoming a ghost, his attributes had doubled.
It's important to know that attributes don't increase proportionally; the higher the base attribute, the greater the boost from each additional point.
Aoki was in a good mood. He adjusted his sun hat, chose a direction, and stepped away.
...
A week later.
"The third one!"
Aoki breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the ghost's head, and activated "Devouring Ghost": "Not bad efficiency today."
This was the third ghost he had caught that night; previously, he could only catch a maximum of two in a night.
[Ding!]
A familiar voice rang in his mind, and Aoki was startled. "
Leveled up? I remember I was still more than twenty experience points short!"
Before he could think further, the system notification sounded again.
[Constitution +1.]
Huh?
Where did this little bit of constitution come from?
Aoki looked at the system panel, pondered for a moment, and then turned his gaze to "Devouring Demons."
Replenishing stamina and improving himself.
It seems that "improvement" is reflected here.
It actually directly increases attributes, very good!
Whoosh!
A series of hurried footsteps interrupted his thoughts, and Aoki turned his head to look.
A demon with a long tongue, its mouth sticking out and drooping out, quickly disappeared into the jungle.
"You're lucky."
Aoki hesitated for a moment, but still didn't chase after it.
Dawn was about to break, and there wasn't enough time to deal with another demon.
A moment later, a red sun rose from the horizon, and bright sunlight spread across the world.
Aoki put on his sun hat and quickly left.
Aftr a few days of testing, he found that the sun hat was very stable to wear, and it wouldn't fall off even if he moved a little more vigorously.
Of course, it's impossible to use it for fighting during the day.
