Midnight was nearing and Ayeon was still absorbing and then evenly distributing inside his body. His forehead was filled with multiple beads of sweat as it was a hard task to keep up this exhausting task.
Luckily he was extremely close to 18 years old, the best time to start and his body could handle the burden and density of the amount of spiritual energy he was storing inside as a level 0. This was mostly because of him training his body to the best it could go as a level 0, along with the way he used spiritual energy to refine his body while cleaning out the impurities.
Ayeon locked his eyes on the clock in front of him as he did not stop even once since starting. He was waiting, waiting for midnight to arrive. Time seemed to slow down for Ayeon when it came down to the last minute. Every single second made him feel like going through torture due to the massive amount of spiritual energy inside his body.
His body was at the limit of the amount of spiritual energy it could currently handle. His whole body was damp because of the amount of sweat he's worked off.
His body wanted to give up. His muscles screamed for rest.
No! I must persevere! I'm so close... only 5 seconds left... 3.. 2...1..
The instant the clock hit midnight, Ayeon gave up suppressing the spiritual energy inside and let it flow naturally. The spiritual energy started to refine his muscles, bones, organs and skin from the inside, making his current limits soar. In the process, it expanded his meridians, making them five times bigger and able to hold even more spiritual energy.
His body felt like it was being massaged by an masseur expert as he levelled up. When the level up process was done, he was about to check his bloodline's rank. However, something he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
'System rebooting... process.. 1%... 10%... 35%... 70%... 95%... 98%.. 99%..'
'Creator, did you miss me?' A playful male voice sounded in Ayeon's head.
"I'm glad you're back, system."
Ayeon smiled genuinely while welcoming the system back, giving it the information he currently has so it could accumulate it with its evergrowing knowledge.
"Anyway, system open status! I'm excited to see how many levels I got."
Ayeon commanded and finally saw the familiar screen in front of him.
[Name]: Ayeon Arcadia
[Level]: 5 (0/500)
[Bloodline]: To be decided by Creator/Divine Incubus Bloodline
[Crystals]: 0
"Haha! My hypothesis was correct! My level is already 5 from level 0. That's a huge leap, making my physical prowess at least five times stronger than before!"
Ayeon was excited, happy and proud of what he just accomplished. However, the thing he read after made his eyes widen.
"I can choose my own bloodline?! Shouldn't this be impossible, system? Do you mind elaborating?"
Ayeon inquired.
'Bloodlines are either inherited from one's race, their parents or family name. First, you can pick/create any bloodline you want. The reason for this is because Creator was suppose to have dual bloodlines, which has a low percentage of happening. However, since Creator reincarnated the exact moment the bloodlines were infusing into you, the Arcadia family's bloodline disappeared failed to become one with Creator's body as Creator did not have a family name before reincarnation.
As such, Creator is allowed to pick his own or even create one. To create one or choose one, you only need to pick the name. For example, the dragon bloodline gives dragon traits to the wielders if this bloodline.'
'Second, crystals. As you already know they are the currency used in Mystical and divided into the same rank as bloodlines. However, they can also function as the system's shop points.'
'Third, there is an option to change bloodlines in system shop. Creator only needs to replace the succubus bloodline with the bloodline he has bought. Note that this is a one time use! However, Creator shouldn't become arrogant as even though they are rare, people who have dual bloodlines still exist. Anymore than two bloodlines is impossible to exist in the body as one of the dominant bloodlines will devour the third.
The ranking of bloodlines are weakest to strongest from Normal, Royal, King, Mythical, Legendary, Divine and True Divine. There are more but Creator is only level 0 currently and does not have sufficient power to know.'
'However, when Creator picks or creates his own bloodline, you will be given the choice of some powerful bloodlines at the very top that is not in this realm.'
The system explained.
The first point already made Ayeon very excited, but after hearing the third point made him laugh like a madman. Even if others had dual bloodlines, they would have to first match the bloodline rank of their opponents with their own, otherwise they would die even if they have dual bloodlines.
Ayeon was so excited that he didn't hear the last sentence the system said.
I should pick or create a bloodline after looking through the list first. I still have almost one month before the enrollment test starts for the Sacred Nurture Academy and during that time, I could solidify and even advance my level and choose my bloodline.
Ayeon fell asleep trying to formulate future plans due to fatigue.
The night soon passed and Ayeon awoke only to find he couldn't sit up. He felt a body on top of him and looked up.
When Ayeon saw the face of the person on top of him, he made a wry smile. He tried to push her off him but to no avail.
"Alexia, wake up and get off me, otherwise I'll kick you off the bed."
Ayeon had a devilish smile at the end, making Alexia who started to wake up due to his pushes quickly jump off him.
"Ah Ayeon, you should have let me sleep more!"
Alexia pouted once her eyes were fully awake and alert.
"Brother! Big sis! Wake up! The banquet held for our birthday is starting after lunch!"
Myra's voice called out from downstairs.
"See, we have to wash up and wear formal clothings after this."
Ayeon pointed out to Alexia as he pulled her by her soft arm to the small bathroom inside his room to wash themselves.
