The Duke's Youngest Son is a Regressor
Fake System: Check! good looking: Check! Face Slapping: Check! Revenge: Check! No-harem: Check! A/n: The MC doesn't have a system but everyone else does, and he makes up for his lack of a system in better ways. *** My name is Cassius Blackwood, I am the illegitimate son born between Lucas Blackwood, the greatest swordsman in the empire, and Aurora Nightingale, the master of the Magic Tower. Yes, the one people expected to be a 1-in-a-million genius. So despite being an Illegitimate child, everyone used to treat me kindly. That is, until my 10th birthday when I undertook my awakening ceremony and nothing happened. After that, everyone treated me like dirt. My parents, who had high hopes for me, abandoned me. I trained hard for 10 years and managed to awaken as an F-rank, but even then I had no system to help me. I was a "systemless hunter" And in this world, how good of a system you have is what determines your success. right after awakening, I had to undertake 'The Trial', a test to see who would become the next head of House Blackwood. all Blackwoods, including me, had to participate. To nobody's surprise, I was the first to die. So why am I now back to when I was 10 years old right before my awakening ceremony? *** Tags: #transmigration (the MC isn't the transmigrator) #regression ( the MC is obviously the regressor) #reincarnation #no-harem #romance #singlefemalelead #revenge #evil #cruel #mage #swordsman #returnee #fantasy-empire #dungeons #system( Fake system) #cultivation (done differently) #rarebloodline #action #fantasy #secretidentity join my discord: https://dsc.gg/Rerian long link: https://discord.com/invite/wARbcq8kzG

You only need to come back here when you are confused.
I will update this page as the novel progresses.
Though, ngl bro, this chapter is basically useless.
_______________________________
Systemless Hunter:
*Don't have systems to help them. Are not chosen by the systems.
*They awaken through training and effort. Ex: A Systemless hunter whose a swordsman, became one solely through training with the sword.
* Though unlikely, it is possible for them to have more than one class since they don't have a system to restrict them.
*Are considered weak since they don't have systems to help them.
*All hunters were systemless before the dungeons and systems appeared.
*Don't have limited potential since no system.
*Their power can't be accurately measured since they don't have a status window.
*Don't need to do quests for XP.
*Don't get penalties for failing quests because they don't have systems to give them quests.
* Most resources that could help systemless hunters advance mysteriously vanished around the same time the systems appeared.
*Can not enter dungeons. (Unless, of course, they have a fake system hehe.)
System Hunter:
*No one calls them system hunters. They are just called 'hunters' because they are the norm and unless specified that they are systemless people will assume they have a system.
* A hunter who has a system that helps him.
*Can either awaken by being chosen by a system at random, or drinking a drug called elixis.
*According to the empire's scholars, F-rank is the lowest and S-rank is the highest.
*Elixis has a naturally high chance of working unless someone's circumstances deem otherwise.
*People's eyes turn yellow when they have Elixis in their body.
*Elixis is NOT EATEN. It penetrates the body through the skin.
*Elixis has a unique gold color that can't be hidden.
*Elixinot is eaten or drunk.
*Elixinot cancels Elixis and can prevent someone from ever getting a system. It has a half-life of four hours and is only harmful when mixed with Elixis. (Aka Elixinot must be eaten less than four hours before Elixis)
*Elixinot cannot take away someone's system. Only prevents.
* They Cant reproduce with someone of a different class(supposedly).
(Ex: swordsman x swordsman = ✅
but swordsman x mage = ❌)
*They Grow by doing quests
*According to scholars, they cant have two classes meaning a swordsman can only be a swordsman not a mage.
*Classes are inherited. If you're dad/mom is a swordsman you will be one too.
*If you're dad/mom has an B-Rank system You will likely be a C-rank, B-Rank or A-rank. Within the same ranks.
*Have skill cards. Such as Duke Blackwood's lie detection skill or the emperor's status window skill.

Karavan's eyes:
* Currently In the form of a ring that Cas wears.
*Is more complicated and powerful than it looks.
* Karavan says he can control everything that happens inside the realm of this artifact.
*Initially, the realm looked low-key like the TV isle in a shopping mall cuz of all the floating screens, but then Karavan made it look like a garden so he and Cassius could discuss business.
*Apparently, part of the reason why Cassius can have a fake system.
* Karavan says he can make Cassius the most powerful man in the world with the help of this artifact.
