No Longer Human
This was a lot to take in, after I finally understood the source of the energy inside me, the source of my powers of you could call them that, I left my mind space and stared blankly at the ceiling.
The information contained a story, a story of a great war between gods, divine beings and deities. The reason for the war was unknown, however by the end of it, tens of gods had fallen, and when a god dies, his body evaporates, releasing all the energy and magic that it contained.
The energy of a god, imagine the sheer amount. Now with tens of gods...this created a singularity, something that is unique. Due o the presence of such an unimaginable amount of power concentrated in the same area, it developed a very slight consciousness.
The gods that remained escaped, fearing the mana would injure them, after all, a singularity, something that didn't happen before, something they had no knowledge of how to fight or defeat, terrified them.
However the newly created singularity didn't care about those gods, with nothing but instinct guiding it, it headed towards the direction with the highest quantity of lives. Which happened to be Earth.
It then searched for a host, after all, singularity or not, energy without a medium will eventually disperse, and it had already lost some of its energy on its journey here.
It quickly scanned the planet for the human with the highest compatibility with itself...me.
And so, using lightning as a medium from the atmosphere, it struck me, infusing itself within the deepest centre of my soul. It then responded to my deepest desire at the time.
Changing the ending of the show. I didn't like the ending. I want to meet Daenerys. Why did you do this? You fucked up the ending. I wish I was there.
All these thoughts were processed by it, eventually leading to a single outcome, reincarnation. It chose to reincarnate me in the Dothraki culture as it judged it the most suitable to acclimate me to this harsh world, and because I already learned their language before.
As for my blood energy, it is merely the most apparent property of the energy. After all, the energy formed from the death of tens of gods, so blood energy was the most prominent one. As gods often had huge bodies...so seas of blood evaporated into energy, which made up a huge part of the singularity, which took blood as its main property.
This, 'side-effect' however didn't just affect my body and strength and grant me weird abilities, it also changed my race. Apparently, when I finally unlocked the energy from the centre of my mind, which led to the centre of my soul, the singularity that trapped itself there was able to roam freely throughout my soul.
There is no need for concern though, this singularity barely has any consciousness, think of as having the same mind as a child. But with no malice, no hatred and no personal desire. It acts like my own child, which is proven by it fulfilling my desire of coming here and is more than happy to help me. It is currently in a deep sleep and will continue doing so until it fully fuses with my sou, then I can take it out.
As for why such a powerful singularity can't just give me all of its power, with it being so nice and all. This is because despite having the energy, I am the limit.
Meaning I am the limiting factor, I don't have enough blood to tap into that energy, so the more blood I consume, the better my abilities and the fewer disadvantages there will be.
Effectively completing my transformation from human to a BLOODLING. A term I found among this new knowledge. Thus granting me a myriad of new abilities as well as side effects.
I organized these things in my mind in the shape of a status panel, although it isn't actually a system, just a representation of my powers as well as my understanding of them, one can dream.

[A/N: Very important to note, this is not a system novel, this panel has no affect on the story and is merely there to remind the readers of his progress and abilities]
This is basically all my current abilities that resulted from the blood energy which I call traits and side effects which I call curses. This list doesn't include any mastery over weapons or skills I may have, just the supernatural spectrum of my abilities.
Blood Essence is the blood energy I absorb when drinking someone's blood. The stronger and healthier the person, the more essence I gain from his blood.
An average human back on earth has only half a point of blood Essence per litre of blood, while an average person here in Game of Thrones has 1. The average Dothraki has around 3-4, while the strong Dothraki, whose blood my father brings, has about 7 or 8 per litre of blood.
A human has anywhere from 4.5 to 5 litres of blood in their body. 2 litres could be extracted easily upon killing a human, 3 litres if we milk him some more. The rest of the blood is absorbed into the tissues and stuck in capillaries that it would be too messy and time-consuming to extract any more than 3 litres of blood from a human.
This means that from an average Dothraki, I can gain a maximum of 12 blood essence. I'm certain magical creatures would give me astronomical amounts of blood essence, but further investigation will need to be carried out to determine an accurate number.
With my Race transformation finally complete from its previous pseudo form, I gained two new traits and two new disadvantages.
Sense is an amazing skill that allows me to 'feel' anybody that has blood around my vicinity. So people can no longer sneak up on me, or hide behind trees, as I will be able to sense the blood inside their bodies. This also allows me to smell blood from very far away, under the condition that the blood is exposed to the air.
After my next evolution, I will even be able to determine the strength, size and species based on the scent of blood alone, I will also be able to tell if a person has any disease if a woman is pregnant by their scent.
Blood restoration is also amazing, although it appears to be spectacular enough, as I will never have a lasting internal injury, when it evolves to Blood Regeneration, with enough blood I will be practically unkillable.
While it may not seem very powerful, in battle once someone accumulates several minor injuries, they get fatigued and exhausted, well not for me as I heal from them instantly.
Besides, healing ten times faster than normal will heal most deep injuries I have in a quarter of the normal time, which is a lifesaver.
Sunlight curse, while annoying, is manageable, I already have more stamina than I can use in a single day, and Blood restoration also slightly heals fatigue.
My Kryptonite curse, named by the one and only Virsal(me), is one of the main disadvantages of my race. Like white walkers, I will be severely injured by Obsedian and Valyrian steel, but unlike white walkers, I will not die immediately.
Weapons made of these materials will only stop any effects my blood restoration has on healing my wounds. But not only will I heal like a normal human, but it will also be five times slower. I better avoid those weapons when I see them.
The good news is that when if I evolve enough, this disadvantage will eventually disappear.
The main cause of concern though is the Berserk Curse. I can't afford to lose control and attack someone I care about, I just can't. Just imagining it breaks my heart and firms my resolve. I will need to control myself.
But it is easier said than done, the Dothraki aren't exactly the family-friendly bunch. Sigh, I will just need to experience it once to be able to come up with countermeasures. I better hope I'm not near anyone I know then, or I'll get exposed, or worse...attack someone that I care about, which fortunately only extends to my parents for the moment.
Shit...I have an upcoming raid in a couple of days, this means I have two days to figure this out.
That being said, not every ability I gain will be blood-related, infarct I have a repertoire of magical and mystical abilities stored in my soul through the singularity. Different from traits that come from my race evolution, skills are something else.
The way this was even possible was because all the knowledge and abilities these gods that died had was in the soul, which mixed with the mana they possessed upon their death, and in turn, the mana they possessed, was also absorbed during the birth of my singularity.
In simpler terms, I have thousands of skills available to me, some are useful, some are not, while some are vile and evil.
Unfortunately, the previous problem presents itself, although I know about the skill, my body isn't ready to receive them.
This is the main reason that powerful gods have large bodies, it is to accommodate their abilities and power. For me, I will have to sacrifice some of my Blood essence. So instead of being used for my evolution, it can be used to condition my body to be ready to accept a certain skill. This is the concept behind me 'acquiring' skills.
If I don't condition my body for the skill I'm going to use, the best case scenario is that it simply doesn't work, the worst case is that my body overstrains and I get injured or worse.
While the skills are there, I will have to give up some of my blood essence to the singularity so it could help me condition my body to be able to use it. The reason I can't do it myself is that the conditioning process occurs at a molecular level that is impossible for me to do perfectly, besides, If I have a way to do it perfectly, I will certainly not shy away from using it.
I will be adding a shop function in the template to help me organise my skills and help calculate how much blood essence will be needed for the conditioning of each skill.
But that will have to wait for tomorrow, all this new information did a number on my mind, and now I'm mentally fatigued and have a slight headache. Time to sleep.
