9 Blood!
In the Domain of Egypt, inside a throne hall.
A man opened the massive golden gates to the entrance and entered a throne hall. Walking forward with back straight and his head held high. He stopped a few meters away from the king, kneeling down.
"The Mosai family head is waiting for you outside, your majesty."
"Let him in." The king, adorning a luxurious robe and a matching golden crown on his head, ordered.
Another man in his thirties entered the throne with long strides. The man had short blue hair, azure like eyes, a long face and a well built body. His purple robe flustered as he stood in front of the throne. He knew he had made a big mistake.
"I can feel it… The curse, it has awakened… Tell me now Luke, where is Caedes?"
The man named Luke stuttered as he spoke nervously, "Y-Your mm-majesty, the boy… Actually, due to a fight between some children, Caedes died…"
"Do you know what exactly this curse that looms over Caedes is! Tell me now, Luke. How many people can manipulate elements using their Bloodline gift in this world?"
Although scared, Luke still answered with confidence, "Not more than 8 people have awakened such an ability in the last 100 years of our history, my lord!"
"Hmmm, you are correct indeed. Now, what if I tell you that the curse that boy has could allow him to easily manipulate an element.
"That doesn't matter now since he's no more. Tell me…I-Isn't tthee boy dead?" Luke questioned, his tone wavering
"The boy's Immortal." The king named James answered.
Luke's body lost balance as his soul left his body, he couldn't believe it?
Immortality is just a myth, a legend, isn't it? Then how could Caedes be Immortal!
Suddenly, a thought struck his mind which made his spine shiver to no ends.
'Could it be—'
King James interrupted the man's thought as if being able to read his mind,
"Indeed…" James spoke slowly-
Luke's body trembled as he tried to stop the king from speaking "that name". The name that carried a huge amount of fate, such that any being below a certain level would die as long as they heard its name.
Knowing that the King wouldn't stop, Luke turned around and sprinted across the hall, trying to leave as fast as possible.
"It is indeed that curse, or shall I say it is the 'Villain's Awakening System' as we humans call it."
Totally ignoring the blood coming out of Lucas' seven orfices and his following death, James moved his hands into the air. Seemingly using his system, he called upon one of the people guarding the place, asking them to clean this loser of a man or what was left of him.
[ The World Government ]
King James: The curse has awakened; it seems the world spirit has sent another heir to compete in this race of supremacy. I believe that the curse shall fully possess the god's system in a few days, The boy's missing though.
King Philip: Is the news absolutely true? If it's true then we shall hurry! I don't know about you all but I still shiver at the amount of destruction the heir of Werewolf's had brought upon this world, if not for the information we possessed about this plot set by the world spirit… I believe we could all have gone extinct!
Salvador: Calm down, old man… What is the identity of the boy?
King James:
Name - Caedes
Heir of race: Unknown
Passive ability - Immortal
Anna: Immortal..Not many races have that ability. It seems finding his race would be easier than the last one. What about the kid's parents? They must indeed know something useful about him.
King James: He was adopted.
Princess Sophie: Ughh- It's fine, we still have time. Even with the help of that system, it would take the boy at least 5 years to make us feel threatened… We shall all put the boy's name in the wanted list…
King Philip: So..It really is happening? To think we assumed that Asur(the demons) were the only race left in this battle of supremacy. How many years has it been since someone has been born with the guts to make even us, the strongest human alive, wary of just his presence.
King James IV sighed as he closed his chat, feelings tired already. It was like a few dozen years of his life being sapped out of his very being. He knew that the world they knew would soon change…

Meanwhile, inside a forest.
A boy could be seen glancing at the transparent screen in front of him
[ The god's system ]
( By: The administrator. )
While explaining to you kids the basics, I forgot to inform you about the power System exactly… So basically, some of the ways a contestant has to gain power or paths in this world is the bloodline system in which people born with a high density of their ancestral god's bloodline are able to tap into their powers.
While the first one is the most common of all, for a beast tamer, he would have to find the god's essence to awaken a bloodline. Another way to choose a path is to buy a God's essence from the outside world, an object or relic of the past said to be formed from the remnants of a dead god with which you can awaken your bloodline.
Also, while bestowing upon you the system, I found out that your mana had been sealed until now. Knowing this, I have already unsealed it, making you able to tap into it whenever you want.
(This is all I can say… Anyways, good luck with your journey ahead! Ps: Travel towards the north.)
After going through the whole explanation a few times, the boy moved his sight towards the quests displayed on his system, which is the bracelet.
[ QUESTS ]
( CREATE OR JOIN A CLAN WITHIN 5 DAYS. )
Reward: A random God's essence
Time remaining: 5 days
Failure: Won't be able to obtain the god's essence through the system and will have to search for it oneself.
-CREATE CLAN-
-JOIN CLAN-
Knowing that his identity could be leaked, Caedes dropped the plan of joining a clan and decided that he would create his own clan. That would however be for another time.
'This place is annoying me! Even my vision is not clear due to the fog surrounding this place, not to forget these wet leaves that are stuck to my body… I seriously want a bath right now.' The boy grumbled,
Even though Caedes had matured a lot, he was still a 17 year old kid, not to forget that he once lived in one of the richest families in the country.
After a while of trying to brush the leaves off his body, Caedes still had problems removing it. Leaving it be, he decided his next course of action.
'I have to find a civilization, but before that I need blood!'
