Chapter 11: Improvement

For Adam, there had been far too many doubts lately.

This change began recently as a phenomenon accompanying the awakening of his past life memories.

It was not like this in the past.

In the past, Adam had never doubted anything about his surroundings.

If something has always been so from the beginning, even if it is wrong, you will not doubt it.

Adam was no different in the past.

But as he learned more about this world and saw more and more expansive landscapes, he couldn't help but start doubting.

With the onset of doubt, other emotions also followed.

Fortunately, in most cases, he was able to find answers in his past life memories and comfort himself.

Is effort meaningless in this world?

No, absolutely not.

Adam stood up, various thoughts crossing his mind.

In life, there are many things one cannot accomplish no matter how hard they try, such as when an ordinary person can never defeat a knight.

But is the effort of an ordinary person meaningless?

Definitely not.

An ordinary person's effort may not make them a knight, but it can bring them closer to that goal, allowing them to have better choices in crucial moments.

Perhaps in the end, they still cannot defeat a knight, but at least in the process, they have already surpassed their previous level and attained a higher one.

The same applied to Adam.

Was his effort meaningless?

No, it wasn't.

Perhaps his bloodline predetermined that no matter how hard he tried, he would never become a knight, but it was only because of his previous efforts that he had become an excellent knight apprentice and cultivated his knight training skill to a superb level.

Without his past efforts and the strength gained through more than a decade of hard training, even if he came to this world, he would not have found the template that changed his life, and would have died just as any other person, unwillingly under the claws of a beast.

He could stand here, not as a corpse, not as a lunch for demonic creatures, and not as a lost soul under a bandit's blade, only because of his past efforts.

With this foundation, his current opportunity had practical meaning.

He had truly been given a chance to change his life.

A real chance to become a knight!

Various thoughts crossed his mind.

After contemplating for a while, the young man was no longer lost, and looked frontward.

Name: Adam

Race: Gallia

Attributes: Strength (3.4), Constitution (3.7), Spirit (2.9), Charisma (1.9)

Bloodline: Blood of the Gallia Royal Family (3)

Gifts: Archery Proficiency (2)

Skills: Hodge Knight Training Skill (Level 6), Archery Skill (Level 3), Hodge Fighting Sword Skills (Level 2)

Experience Points: 104

The familiar template appeared before him.

But this time, Adam focused not on the knight training skill, but on something else.

Blood of the Gallia Royal Family!

"Perhaps... it is possible..."

Adam muttered to himself, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

As his thoughts flashed, a plus sign appeared on the interface before him.

Without hesitation, Adam confirmed his choice.

In the view before him, a blood-like color momentarily spread, enveloping everything in sight.

However, this momentary display did not last long.

Thump! Thump!

A fierce sound came from his heart, sounding unusually loud.

Adam couldn't help but cover his chest, feeling uncomfortable as he sat down.

"So hot..."

He couldn't help but think this.

With the increase in the bloodline of the royal family, he felt heat emanating from his entire body.

A huge wave of heat surged, continuously rolling through his entire body, causing a tearing-like pain.

It was quite a while before this sensation subsided.

Everything was quiet again, as a peaceful and beautiful scene unfolded.

Adam looked forward again.

Name: Adam

Race: Gallia

Attributes: Strength (3.4), Constitution (3.7), Spirit (2.9), Charisma (2)

Bloodline: Blood of the Gallia Royal Family (4)

Gifts: Archery Proficiency (2)

Skills: Hodge Knight Training Skill (Level 6), Archery Skill (Level 3), Hodge Fighting Sword Skills (Level 2)

Experience Points: 54

The character template appeared again.

However, as of now, there hadn't been significant changes in the various attributes.

The bloodline of the Gallia Royal Family had been increased by one point, costing 50 experience points.

Is it worth consuming 50 experience points just to increase it by one point?

This cost seemed somewhat pricey.

But Adam felt that it was worth it.

Seeing that he still had some experience points, he continued to enhance his bloodline.

Whoosh!

The familiar feeling arose again, accompanied by an intense heat that nearly suffocated him.

After a while, Adam finally got used to this sensation.

He looked forward again.

Name: Adam

Race: Gallia

Attributes: Strength (3.4), Constitution (3.7), Spirit (2.9), Charisma (2.3)

Bloodline: Blood of the Gallia Royal Family (5)

Gifts: Archery Proficiency (2), Language Proficiency (1)

Skills: Hodge Knight Training Skill (Level 5), Archery Skill (Level 3), Hodge Fighting Sword Skills (Level 2)

Experience Points: 4

"Huh?"

Adam looked at the template in front of him with surprise.

The continued elevation of his bloodline changed some of his other attributes, particularly his charisma.

But what captured his attention even more was the additional gift in his template.

Language Proficiency – this was a gift that Adam did not previously possess, but now it had suddenly appeared.

It was likely awakened as a gift that came along with the elevation of his bloodline.

Just as the legends say that elves are skilled in archery and dwarves are naturally proficient in forging, bloodlines often harbor powers dictating one's gifts.

The Gallia Royal Family's bloodline was no exception.

Today, with Adam's actions, the bloodline of the Gallia Royal Family finally unveiled its gifts.

This was a good thing, proving that the effects and influences of the bloodline elevation were comprehensive.

Furthermore, Language Proficiency was precisely what Adam needed at this moment.

Not long ago, he was troubled by his inability to communicate in this world's language.

Now that he had the Language Proficiency gift, his efficiency in learning this world's language should greatly improve.

Thinking so, he acted.

Adam quickly stood up and walked towards Luman Thomas and his companion.

Among those nearby, these two were the ones he was most familiar with.

Now that he needed to learn the language, it was best to start with them.
