Blood Curse Refining: The user can use their cursed blood to refine other curses and add it to their Myriad Blood Curses. 

Additional Effect: Curse Eater 

Note: the effect of the ability varies with the strength of the user's will. 

Curse Eater: The user's curse resistance will increase regardless of their realm based on the strength of the curse they refine. 

Note: the user is advised to use this skill with discretion as it might lead to the user falling prey to the course they are trying to refine. 

…

After refining the blood, the ultra-tier blood curse rune, the enlightenment I waited for never came, it seems I was wrong to accept that I will gain enlightenment every time I forge a rune. 

With this realization, I was disappointed, because, at my current comprehension speed, it would take me days or even weeks to advance my understanding and mastery of the 'blood curse' meaning to ultimate mastery. 

However, I had resolved myself that even if it was going to take me months I would only leave when I had comprehended the 'blood curse' meaning to ultimate mastery, unlocked my third form, and become a card master. 

I needed to progress my strength as fast as possible because once the three mischiefs achieve the peak of their strength as shown in Clown Mask's future vision then I would have no place in this world left to hide. I need to achieve the demigod realm before that happens to not only protect me but what I hold dear.

How the heck will I be able to achieve the demigod realm in time if I am stuck in the card soldier realm for so long?

Though massing a fortune and clearing my reputation took priority, my primary goal has always been to increase my strength. 

So even if I didn't gain enlightenment after forging the 'blood curse' meaning I hoped to, I didn't give up just because things didn't go as I planned. I decided to stick it out until I achieved what I set out to achieve. 

Before that, I wanted to go through the 'Blood Curse' rune info more thoroughly. To understand the new abilities at my disposal and also cheer myself up, showing that not everything turned out so disappointing.

I already knew the basic use of the 'blood curse' meaning but the additional effects of the rune, Cursed Blood, Myriad Blood Curses, and Blood Curse refining were eye-opening. Especially the blood curse refining ability and its curse eater effect was the highlight of the 'blood curse' rune. 

As I was contemplating the ways to use blood curse refining and curse eater, I suddenly had a flash of epiphany. It was about using blood curse refining to increase my comprehension of the 'blood curse' meaning. 

I was wondering if using blood curse refining to refine various curses would help me with my comprehension of the 'blood curse' meaning. It was just a thought with no evidence to support that it would be possible to increase my comprehension of the 'blood curse' meaning by refining various curses. 

I would not know for sure unless I tried it. Even if refining curses doesn't increase my comprehension of the 'blood curse' meaning I will still manage to increase my curse resistance. So it would not hurt to try. 

With my current snail pace of rule-meaning comprehension, it would take weeks for me to achieve ultimate mastery of the 'blood curse' meaning, so it did not matter if I took a break to test out my theory. 

Without any hesitation, I stopped comprehending the 'blood curse' meaning, and my eyes opened to the pseudo-natural blood rule enlightenment array. 

Ignoring the array, I returned to the seed world. I then used the demon merchant codex page to access the internet-realm network to buy an A-rank curse because I think with my current strength I would not have any problem refining it.

There were a lot of curses in the inter-realm network, I was happy to see that curses had such a huge market in the devil merchant code. Because by refining the curse I not only gain curse resistance but can also add the curse to myriad blood curses. This way I will be able to use the curse at will through the myriad blood curses ability. So I could not help but feel ecstatic seeing that the devil merchant code had such a huge market for curses. 

There were many varieties of curses in the inter-realm network but I was surprised to see that most of them were already part of my Myriad Blood curses except for the rare ones. Like the cursed body and cursed eyes for example. 

I specifically pointed out these two types of curses of all curses up for sale because these curses strengthen the user and allies' physical bodies and abilities. It was surprising to see curses being used as buff and enchantment instead of as a debuff. 

There were a variety of cursed body curses, that increased the user's physical strength, and speed and even enhanced their defense against debuffs. It was eye-opening to see that the curses could be used in such a way. Because of this, I saw the 'blood curse' rune in a new light and was starting to think that the ability of Myriad Blood Curses was not half bad either. 

For now, I decided to buy the A-rank curse 'Curse Incarnation' for my experimentation. 

Curse incarnation allowed the user to house curses in their body and strengthen their physical body to a very high degree. According to the description of this curse skill, the stronger the curse the user houses in their body the stronger the boost their body gains. 

Well if the user of the 'Curse incarnation' tries to chew more than he/she could, by housing a strong curse that their will can't handle, then there were very obvious and serious repercussions to it including but not limited to death.
