Before Reyansh could take out blood from his inventory, Lyrielle spoke up, "Boss, before you work on the blood puppet, how would you like to setup the paywall for your videos?"

"Paywall, you mean the passive income option?" He asked.

Lyrielle nodded.

"What price do you think is reasonable? I don’t think we should keep same price for everybody," Reyansh stated.

"Your suggestions?" He questioned.

"Set up different pay for different rank of dimension, that’s the best option for you," she suggested.

"Hmm...okay, 5000 credits for low-rank dimensions, 1 Cosmic Coins for middle-rank dimensions, 5 Cosmic Coins for High-rank dimensions and 10 Cosmic Coins for Apex-rank dimensions." Reyansh laid out his thoughts.

"Also, are there any viewers from lowest-rank dimensions? I never checked?"

"I don’t know but there are few subscribers from those dimensions," she answered.

"Keep the videos free for the lowest-rank dimensions. What do you think of this pay plan?"

"Okay...but I would have set a bit higher prices,"

"It’s already high, if you add 100X amplification to it."

"Oh...oh...it almost slipped my mind. Low prices will attract more viewers over time and your amplification perk will be silently multiplying the money." Lyrielle gave an approving nod.

"Anything else?"

"No boss, I will be done with my work in some time. You can focus on your blood manipulation," Lyrielle spoke as she immersed herself in her work again, giving final touches to the videos.

Reyansh nodded and focused on the 500 liters of blood of SSS-rank monster in his inventory.

’Now, I have blood essence from those two morons I killed and blood sent by Ramon. What’s the correct way to use it?’ he wondered.

He focused on using the Blood Puppet ability, suddenly, bundles of information appeared in his mind.

The entire process and the effect of using different types of blood, monsters or human, and his own drop of blood for the catalyst to create the blood puppet.

’First things first, let’s extract all the blood essence from available blood,’ he decided.

’This would also be a good practice before I use blood manipulation in tomorrow’s stream.’

With a single thought, he took out 5 liter of blood from pool of 500 liters.

A large ball of blood floated in front of him, he used telekinesis along with blood manipulation to keep it afloat.

The blood lacked its shine, suggesting it’s from something that died some time ago. However, to Reyansh it felt alive, ever cell in the ball of blood felt like they were his to command.

He couldn’t see it with his naked eyes, but he could feel every component of the blood. That red ball floating in front of him felt like an extension of his domain of blood.

Reyansh focused on the ball, his senses already covering the every molecule in it. He went deeper, something that was calling to him even in this lusterless red blood.

He extended his hand, using the blood manipulation to pull out those particles inside the blood, the blood essence.

However, when he tried to tug that essence away from the drop of blood, something in it resisted. This was the first time, Reyansh felt a resistance to blood manipulation.

When he tried to pull it harder, it only made the process the even more difficult.

’Lyrielle did mention that it will be difficult with the blood of higher rank monsters, have patience,’ he reminded himself.

The blood still obeyed his command, he felt like he still could manipulate the blood freely but when he focused on separating the essence, suddenly everything went out of his control.

He tried putting more strength to it, even using telekinesis to pull the essence out, but the result was the same.

After a few tries, he stopped. The big blood drop still hovering in front of him.

Lyrielle saw his quiet struggle but didn’t say anything. This was his struggle and his own battle. If he wanted to reach the pinnacle of strength, he would have to understand everything and the way they worked. This was merely a first step.

’I separated the essence from Jai and his secretary’s blood very easily. Were they so weak or is there something different? What’s the difficulty this time?’ he questioned himself.

Reyansh went back to the sensation when he extracted blood essence before. Just as he went over the memory, his thoughts cleared as he found the reasons that were holding him back.

He focused back on blood floating in front of him, but he used a different approach this time. Instead of pulling away the essence, he changed his target to remaining impurities of blood.

Everything in the puddle of blood that wasn’t the essence, he intended to burn it away, only leaving behind pure essence.

The resistance was still there but weaker than before. Slowly a black smoke started leaving the drop of blood as shine of previous lusterless blood increased.

With every passing second, the amount of smoke leaving the drop increased. Even the size of drop of blood kept decreasing while its shine increased.

A few minutes later, only pure blood essence levitated in front of him. He could still manipulate the essence with relative ease.

The next moment, he tested his control by forming a knife from the blood essence. As he focused, a small bright red knife formed from the essence.

The knife moved towards him as he observed it. There were still some gaps visible, suggesting at its structural weakness.

Lyrielle had now finished her work and was silently watching him as he progressed.

’He is natural at most of the things he does, the ability to think on his feet under pressure and the combat awareness that I watched.’

’Is that why AAKASHA chose you, Reyansh?’ she wondered as he silently progressed in controlling the blood essence.

After a few minute, the knife in front of him was sharp as a blade and hard as a steel. He could feel that this blade was perfectly capable of harming monster or anyone else.

’Okay, now that I know the basics of blood manipulation and controlling the blood essence. Let’s practice it more before I even think about Emperor-class Saint and Sage rank monster’s blood.’ He decided.

’First I should completely extract blood essence from remaining blood from SSS-rank monster, then move further.’

The 5 liters of blood had been reduced to less than half after extraction of blood essence. He kept the sphere of blood essence floating aside, practicing his telekinetic control alongside.

This time, he took out 8 liters of blood and followed the same procedure. However, this time he already had the road map, so the process of extracting blood essence was cut short.

Without wasting a moment, he repeated the procedure with increasing amount of blood. His control over the blood and the essence itself sharpening with every passing moment.

Small round spheres floated around him as his control over blood and telekinesis increased at alarming rate.

When he was extracting essence of his last batch of almost 100 liters of blood. His entire room was filled with small shiny red blood balls and a giant blood drop in front of him.

The extracted blood essence even revolved around him as he refined his command of telekinesis. Lyrielle remained a silent observer, not wanting to disturb Reyansh’s focused state.

When he finally purified the last 100 liters, leaving behind almost 40 liters of blood essence. He had extracted about 200 liters of blood essence from 500 liters of blood.

The sweet smell of the essence filled the entire room.

Reyansh took in a deep breath, "Hah, that’s the smell of success." He stored the extracted blood essence back into inventory.

"Now, let’s see if all that practice was worth it or not?" he spoke as he took out 2 liters of blood of Emperor-class Saint-rank monster.

But he had feeling, his blood control of now, far surpassed his blood control of 3 hrs earlier.
