I returned home by four in the evening. The house was empty. Mother and sister are yet to return from work. After our father died, our mother opened a small food center using the money the Alliance paid. She wanted to use the money for my school so that I could attend a high-class school, but I persuaded he to do otherwise.
There is no guarantee that magical mutation will occur by the age of fifteen; it would be a waste of money if that happens. Only the rich who can afford to buy the Magic Gene Serum would take the gamble.
If the money is wasted, what would happen to my sister? Where would she go to school?
I wouldn't have quit school and helped my mother with the work, but she rejected it and wanted me to attend school and not worry about the work. Initially, I wanted to refute that with my bad luck, there is a high chance of me being a failure, but my mother gave me only two choices to me.
Go to a high-class school with the money, or she will open a business, and I have to go to a somewhat decent school. Either way, I have no choice but to attend school. So I chose the second option
Both my sister and I attended the same school, which is considered somewhat decent.
Usually, I pick up my sister after school, but today school is closed except for students who have crossed fifteen and are eligible for checking for mutation. My mother told me that she would be taking my sister to work.
They were anxious when I left in the morning about my results. They would be sad when they heard about my results. All the work my mother did for me was a waste. I can't divulge that I have a system to anyone. For one, they would either brand me as mad or do experiments on me. No one of them is good.
With that, attending the school would be a waste of time, as I know for sure I won't get any resources that I can buy for the same amount outside. Moreover, I'm sure to get better rewards from the system.
The only thing the school can give me is the certification, which many rich people put their trust in when hiring warriors as their bodyguards. With my rank, no one would be interested, and staying at school in no way can increase my levels to reach 1A.
When they return, we may need to talk about this.
I changed my dress to a casual one. Since it would take them some time before they could return, I might as complete the daily task and earn some rewards.
I went out, only to return after two hours. I have been drenched in sweat, and my breathing is not good.
I need water and rest. Before that, I need a bath to remove this stink from me. I took a quick shower and went downstairs.
It's almost 6.30 in the evening, and still, they haven't returned. I went to the fridge and quickly gulped down a liter of water.
That's when I heard the sound, which I later learned that it was the sound of a notification.
Ding!

Since there is automatic addition of two attribute points and 5 free points, I quickly checked to see if it was true, and indeed it was.

While I was basking on my new luck, my phone rang. I picked it up to see that the caller was my classmate, John.
The second I answered it, John asked, "Hey, have you seen the news?"
"No, what happened?"
"United Front Genetics announced that they successfully merged a human warrior with a beast. The warriors could be enhanced and would be on par with the beasts."
"Wait, what? Are you for real?"
"Why would I lie about it? It's all over the news. You can check yourself," he retorted.
I immediately checked out the news section. It is true that after years of research, they finally did it. They even published the results of the success.
A year ago, they announced that they were going to experiment with this and got a lot of volunteers.
This batch of candidates on whom the recent experiments are done is not even the first successful batch. The first success happened over ten years ago, but the Association wanted to make sure it was not a fluke and wanted to check for any potential side effects.
As far as one can see, there are only a few weaknesses exhibited by the candidates. After they transform into the beast, they get the characteristics of the said beast, but its weakness appears when they revert back.
Their bodies appear very weak after the use of the beast, and it seems the burden of the fight would be shared by both the beast and warrior alike. Of course, the scientists quickly found a solution for it. The warriors needed to ingest energy pills to recover, but the unsolvable part was that of the beast.
Its energy would be full and could be used again only after a certain time. Each beast has its own cooldown.
Everyone could get this power if they could afford it. All you have to do is to consume a pill, and the beast's power would manifest in them.
They are terming this as 'Bloodline Pill,' and it would be available in the markets from the following month. The cost of the pill depends on the beast type as they could be only made from beast cores, which are not easy to come and have high demand everywhere.
Bloodline pill…I wonder if …
Huh, that's the front door sound. It looks like mom and sis are here.
