30 Status Screen [Part 1]

Ulric internally smirked cunningly, pleased by his successful maneuver. Outwardly, his face returned to its usual jovial, kind expression.

"Well then, let's get back to what matters. You must be curious as to why you are back here." He remarked, his tone calm.

Nyx nervously gulped, nodding in acknowledgment.

"Fear not, as I mentioned, you are not dead. The reason why you were brought to my Dimension is due to a slight oversight on my part during your reincarnation." Ulric reassured.

Nyx visibly sighed in relief. Thankfully, he was not dead. However, his relief did not last long because he understood what he would soon hear would be detrimental to his hopefully peaceful life. 

'Universal Punishment.' Nyx was able to connect the dots, realizing that must be why he was brought back here.

"Though I am unable to explain in detail. Rest assured, I can say that, for the most part, you are safe."

'… for now.' Ulric added in his head.

"First allow me to check if my conjecture is correct. Hopefully, I am proven incorrect." Ulric continued and took hold of Nyx's tiny baby arm. Closing his eyes, he sent a harmless strand of Divine Energy into the boy's body.

Very quickly, similar to before, Nyx began to glow; however, unlike the silver glow form before this time he emitted a golden Divine radiance as if he became a God.

Ulric meticulously probed every inch of Nyx's Being. His heart sunk, regrettably, it was just as he feared. In fact, it was even worse than what he previously thought.

*Sigh*

After a heavy, sorrowful sigh, Ulric withdrew the strand of Divine Energy.

"While you are safe, unfortunately, your Race's Bloodline has become locked." Ulric revealed, with a pity-filled gaze. Internally, he was frustrated and sorrowful, he should have known that this would have been the outcome. Although Ulric knew that what happened to Nyx was unavoidable… there was no way he could have prevented it.

Nyx furrowed his brows in worry and confusion, "... What does that mean? And is there a way to unlock my Bloodline?" He inquired.

Ulric stroked his beard, not responding immediately. Unlocking a weak Bloodline would have been easy for Ulric; however, Nyx's Bloodline was far from weak. His Race was special… extremely special. Even with his Divine Powers, he would not be able to lift the seal on his Bloodline.

"It means you are unable to utilize your Bloodline and any Abilities that your Race possesses." Ulric explained, sighing lightly and after a shake of his head, he continued, "As for unlocking it, even I am stumped. The seal placed on your Bloodline is no ordinary Mortal seal but a seal placed by the Universe." He felt helpless, had the seal been placed by any other Being even by another God, Ulric could have easily destroyed the seal. However, a seal placed by the Universe was too strong. If Ulric even attempted to destroy the seal, he would receive a backlash that could potentially extinguish his Divine Soul.

Nyx's face instantly paled with the realization, his hopes of a brighter future dashed, "Does that mean I'm useless?" He inquired weakly.

"Not entirely." Ulric reassured with a smile. "Though I may not have a solution, it doesn't mean one doesn't exist." After pausing, with a mysterious smile, he kindly guided, "The Universe is endless, nothing is impossible. You should never lose hope. Remember to continue striving forward, no matter the hardships you face."

Nyx furrowed his brows, perplexed by Ulric's cryptic words and his mysterious smile. More than anything, Ulric's words sounded like a farewell.

Ulric didn't choose to explain. Instead, he lightly touched Nyx's forehead with his finger which was now emitting a golden glow.

Nyx was confused by the lack of response and the golden finger on his forehead; however, immediately, Nyx felt a surge of information being sent into his brain.

Nyx knew the information he acquired was not originally his, yet it felt as though the memories were his from the beginning.

'Magic is truly wonderful.' Nyx's heart grew with envy and sadness. He would do anything to be able to use Magic. He was even willing to sell his soul.

A minute soon passed and Nyx's eyes widened because of the shocking information he had just received.

Without wasting a second longer, he did as the instructions told him.

"STATUS!" Nyx exclaimed. Due to his excited mood, he accidentally blurted out the word, causing Luna and Ulric to chuckle. But Nyx didn't blush in embarrassment, had it been any other time he would have. At the moment, he was too excited to care.

Just as Nyx said the word 'Status' a transparent screen appeared in front of him.

'My head hurts…why is there so much information?' Nyx complained. As an avid gamer in his past life, he understood most of the information displayed on his Status Screen.

Unfortunately, he had never been an RPG enthusiast. During his 28 days of living with the Smith family, he played first-person shooter and MOBA games only.

Even so, Nyx understood what Ulric meant, his Progenitor Night Elf Race was locked. 

'It seems no matter what, my luck will always find a way to screw with me.' Nyx with his terrible luck somehow obtained a Progenitor Race, yet that same luck of his screwed him over.

'Haah, I must have used up all of my saved-up luck on that spin.' Nyx sighed. 'I should have known obtaining a Progenitor Race was too good to be true with my shitty luck.'
