I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

The assassin, dressed in black, vanished into the mist in the blink of an eye. Fox Guard arrived at the clinic and was equally surprised to see the protective shield gradually dimming.

However, after failing to catch anyone and confirming that the clinic's door had not been damaged, they left.

Charlotte closed the window. Although he had just learned the sword slash, the spinning slash, and the basics of the Three Thousand Light and Shadow Techniques, he was not so arrogant as to rush out the door and smash or cut down the two who had kicked the door.

He is now nothing more than a weak knight apprentice.

In this world teeming with demons and monsters, they belong to the lowest level of existence.

Being cautious is the key to living longer.

He turned around and saw the black cloak hanging in the wardrobe, and held the very familiar Judgment Sword in his hand.

Charlotte couldn't resist the urge to try it again.

"With a sharp blade in hand, the urge to kill arises naturally; this saying is indeed true." Charlotte placed the sword on the bedside table and resisted the urge to put on her robe and go out.

The abyss shrouded in night is incredibly dangerous.

  

Screams could be heard from afar every now and then.

It could be a mutual killing among the lower classes, a premeditated home invasion, or... an encounter with some terrifying being.

Charlotte lay back down on the bed and curiously opened her attribute panel:

……

Charlotte sat up abruptly, looking surprised.

The level has been updated; I've gone from a useless nobody to a knight apprentice, and a progress bar has been displayed.

It seems that the threshold for becoming a junior knight is 2000kg of strength.

Twenty bottles of Power Potions are worth 200000 Wealth Points.

He can now just focus on making money; the rest is up to the Power Potion.

It feels so good to have a clear goal!

The progress of martial arts skills also appears in the skill bar.

He originally thought he had practiced quite well, but he didn't expect that even with the most proficient sword-drawing technique, he hadn't broken through the beginner stage.

Now he can't sleep.

He took the Judgment Sword and went downstairs to practice his swordsmanship.

The lobby on the first floor is the most spacious area of ​​his house.

Charlotte moved all the extra tables, chairs, and benches to the side and began practicing her swordsmanship.

As a complete novice, he doesn't yet have the problem of unleashing a torrent of sword energy with a mere swing of his sword. The twenty-square-meter space is more than enough for him to practice his sword-drawing technique and his spinning slash.

Draw your sword, draw your sword, draw your sword and unleash a spinning slash...

Charlotte practiced her sword silently until a faint ray of dawn pierced through the crack in the door.

He sheathed his sword and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

A quick glance at the attribute panel revealed: Sword Drawing Skill: Beginner: 860/1000; Whirlwind Slash: Beginner: 810/1000.

After practicing swordsmanship for a night, each skill gained 10 points.

Compared to the life-or-death struggle with the Judge in the mysterious space, practicing swordsmanship alone in a rigid manner is indeed much slower.

A flash of inspiration is hard to execute in a confined space; you'll keep running into walls. You still need to find opportunities to go outside and practice.

This visible improvement was incredibly rewarding, giving him the illusion of playing a leveling-up game.

Charlotte sheathed his Judgment Sword and focused on practicing swordsmanship all night. Even with his strong physique, he felt somewhat tired at this moment.

So he opened the system shop and exchanged it for a bottle of strength potion.

He gulped it down in several mouthfuls.

As a warm current flowed through my body, I immediately felt warm and cozy.

Sweep away fatigue and be yourself again!

"Besides boosting strength, this is also a top-notch stimulant." Charlotte clenched her fist, and in addition to the increase in strength, her fatigue vanished, and she felt incredibly energetic!

"Boss, why are you here so early?" Vivian patted her head as she came downstairs, looking somewhat surprised to see Charlotte.

"Yeah, I got up early this morning to work out." Charlotte nodded slightly, casually showing off her well-developed biceps.

"By the way, what happened last night? Why did I wake up in bed and can't remember anything? I just feel very comfortable." Vivian stared at Charlotte. "Could it be... that you drugged the food?"

Charlotte: "???"

Please, I'm not interested in lolis!

Otherwise, do you think you would wake up in bed perfectly fine like this?

You might be on the stairs, on the windowsill, on the floor, on the stove, in the pot... Oh! That's a bit much, cross that out!

"You fell asleep while eating yesterday, probably because you've been too tired from making potions lately, so I carried you back to your room to sleep," Charlotte said with a serious expression. "By the way, you went to bed without washing up last night."

"Really?!" Vivian covered her mouth and took a half step back, looking ashamed. "So the sour smell in the air was coming from me."

After saying that, she scurried upstairs on her short legs.

"Sour and stinky?" Charlotte raised his hand, his brows furrowing immediately. After sweating all night and drinking a bottle of power potion, he was the real source of the sour stench.

To avoid being discovered by Vivian, Charlotte went upstairs to get a change of clothes, intending to take a quick shower in the backyard.

The clinic's backyard is extremely small, only five or six square meters. There is an old well, from which daily water is drawn. Washing clothes and mops are also done in the small yard.

Bacca Street belongs to the Harriman family. Apart from a few houses rebuilt by tenants, most of the houses were built uniformly for rental purposes, so there are no large yards where you can grow flowers and raise fish.

Before it was fully light, Charlotte drew water from the well and poured two buckets over herself.

The well water in late autumn was icy cold; if he had been in his previous physique, this bucket of ice water would have killed him instantly.

Now, when ice water is poured on my body, I feel light and refreshed.

As he rubbed his body with a towel, he could subtly feel that his muscles had become firmer, which might be related to the strength potion he had drunk that morning, or it might be related to his all-night sword practice last night.

"whee……"

Suddenly, a soft laugh rang out.

Charlotte was startled and looked up abruptly.

In the building next door, a window on the second floor was open. A girl in a white dress, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was leaning against the window, watching him and covering her mouth with a soft laugh. A ray of morning light fell on her face, revealing her fair and delicate features, her eyebrows and eyes like a painting, and her black hair casually tied in front of her, exuding indescribable purity and loveliness.

Seeing Charlotte look up, the girl blushed and quickly closed the window.
