Shedding blood while fighting and taking damage allows you to unlock future potential for X amount of time. X depends upon @#k/o9?428
Flaw- has to consume blood from the same species as the opponent that made you bleed in X amount of time after the potential time has run out. Consuming flesh alongside blood reduces the required blood limit.
Failure to do so will result in the aspirant falling in a state of frenzy in which he will attack all creatures in vicinity, starting from the one with the most potential to cause harm to him. Aspirant will eventually self-destruct by having his blood explode(rbcs would act like old stars fizzling out and eventually collapse into each other before exploding).

He fell down because of the paralysis being released and stayed there lying on his belly ...
"This is bullshite no matter how hard I think I can't seem to find a way where all it just works out together"
.....and started crying.

His flaw was worse than he thought it would be. Converging his last remaining strength with no hope for a better tomorrow he got up and started jumping between the boundary walls of buildings like a pinball in a slot machine till he reached the joint roof area.
Standing by the water tank he could see the dead city. At the trims of which life began to sprout, he could see corporate slaves commuting to work, kids coming from school, normal everyday people living their normal boring every day life. He used to be just like them, not uncaring but helpless to the struggles of others, too conflicted with his own mundane problems living in his own boring but safe world.
Now he wouldn't fit in, no he couldn't because he was cursed, both with power and flaws that made it impossible to hide what he was and what he is becoming.
The flaw had already started to take effect, his vision was getting hazy, his thinking clouded.
He had defeated a normal human and a ghoul so by law of exchange of power and potential- he had to consume blood of both the species; human and ghoul, not much, maybe half a liter combined, lower if he consumed flesh as well.
The issue was consuming these types of flesh wasn't exactly normal and he was running out of time before destined death gave him a sweet kiss.
He had to relay on his base senses to figure a way out of this, so as a last ditch effort-
"fuck it we go all in on red"
-he made a vow-
"Hey u shitty world hear me loud n clear!!"
-to and radically enhanced his smell and speed by sacrificing his sight , hearing and sensation for the duration of 7 minutes, because that is all he had before the frenzy took over and he started screaming Arthur like a mad knight.

Seth pov:
The world became like a fresh canvas straight out of the film but black instead of the boring suburban white.
I could smell almost every gross thing a teenage boy would think about up to 200 miles.
People, their sweat, what they ate in the past hour, their deo of choice, the scent of old blood coming from healed wounds and thick scent of cigs surrounding some.
In this human fragrance shop I was looking for a ghoul and almost dead human, ideally both of them were together which would be a not so great situation for the human.
I'll light some candles for that guy later cause I just found both of scents together.
Granted it took some time and was like trying to look for the perfect outcome in a sea of probabilities but with my enhanced senses, he could almost taste their blood from the scent alone.
..................
Jumping between rooftops and billboards he reached the isolated street. Looking around out of habit he saw nothing because he had no sight left.
But he could smell coffee, different types of deserts and cleaning supplies.
"Da fuc!/?"
Confused but running out of time he decided to enter the lion's den which he would later figure out was a totally normal cafe owned by a typical, kind but professional old man.
Before he could even step on the welcome mat the door opened with the sound of bells clinking .
"Welcome to...."
