He placed his hand on the screen as he took out a green apple.
"Haha! You think you could hide this baby from me?! HAHAHA!" Giann laughed crazily while not caring if his laugh would attract monsters.
This normal looking green apple was the reason why those huge lizards were chasing him relentlessly.
The apple Giann was holding was called "Dragon's Apple."
When Giann was cautiously wandering around the forest, he came across a hole on the ground and there he saw a dark tree with leaves floating around like snakes.
Giann almost mistook the tree for a Medusa Tree but he when he came closer around the tree he could feel as if a terrifying beast was looking at him.
When he came closer he saw a normal looking apple, then he remembered the books he read when he was home.
Giann immediately grabbed the apple and when the moment he took it, two invisible lizards appeared beside him.
Giann swallowed his saliva as he sensed the two monsters beside him. Without giving them a chance to attack, Giann used his Dashing Link as he teleported above.
Then he ran for his life as he ran to the center of the forest, then one thing lead to another he arrived at the lake.
"According to the books, the "Dragon's Apple" was born from a tree that was formed from a dragon's life essence. The tree and the fruit are basically priceless treasures. The tree could only produce one "Dragon's Apple" in its lifetime before it will dry itself up and die.
Also, it could help the descendants of dragons improve their bloodline." Giann said while being mesmerized by the apple on his hands.
"No wonder those two chased me like crazy." Giann continued as he laughed.
"Well let's consume it before something bad happens." Giann said as he took a large bite. Then after a few mouthful bites only the center of the apple remained.
The reason why he didn't consume it all was because he wanted to try his luck if the seeds on the center of the apple could grow.
"Hmmm? Nothing's happening?" Giann raised his eyebrow and looked around him.
Then he took a piece of cloth and covered the remains of the apple and stored it in his inventory.
After a few seconds passed...
"I feel perfectly normal." Giann said as he continued to sat down while drying himself.
Grumble!
A loud noise suddenly came from his stomach.
"Wha-" before Giann could speak he passed out while foam started to come out of his mouth.
...
"Are you sure nothing is wrong with the head of this child?" An elderly woman's voice spoke with a hint of anger on her voice.
"HAHAHA! This child is pretty amusing! To consume a fruit that was meant for 4 Tiers above his current level is pretts stupid and amusing HAHA!" An elderly man's voice laughed without control.
"Also, that it was meant for beast to improve their bloodline not for humans AHAHA!" The old man continued to laugh.
Gasp!
Giann opened his eyes and saw the clear blue sky above him but he couldn't see the people who was talking to him.
"Ah! You have woken up it seems!" The old woman's voice exclaimed with suprise in her tone.
"Huh? Excuse me but who are you and where are you?" Giann asked while scratching his head while tilting his head sideways.
"Ah it seems that you can't see us yet well it doesn't matter. We are your ancestors. Not exactly "ancestors" but something like that." The old man's voice spoke with pride.
"Ehhh? What do you mean by that, senior?" Giann asked while being shock.
"We are the spirit guardians of your clan. Your first ancestor, Gideon Zebelun, was a very powerful man who was the strongest Tier 7 God the world has ever seen. He even managed to tame us, the strongest Divine Beast. However, all things do not remain the same. Powerful unknown entities arrive to this world and killed every Tier 7 Gods even us Divine Beasts were not spared from this calamity. In the his last remaining days, seeing that he had no hope against the powerful entities. Your ancestor binded us with his bloodline to continue to protect and guide his descendants. So technically, we are also your ancestors." The old man's voice spoke with pride, honor, and fear.
...
"Ehhhhhhh?" Giann was very dumbfounded by the info he just received. Stories like this wasn't in the books in his home so he was very confused.
After a few minutes of digesting the info just received he then asked.
"Why are you only appearing now, seniors? Couldn't you appear when I was younger or when I was in danger just a few hours ago? Also, what's with the blessings during my first birthday?"
...
"Hmm...For your first question, we your spirit guardians have been tasked protect and guide you in your lowest point. Second, well not everyone could see us. Only those who have the purest bloodline could communicate with us freely with no bounds. Unfortunately, the bloodline of the Clan was bred with others so the purity of the bloodline weakened and the power within declined causing the reason our descendants could not see us but shockingly, you could after you ate that fruit. We didn't sense that you would die from being chased by those two lizards so we didn't interfere and watched carefully instead." The old man's voice explained.
"I see." Giann nodded as he understood.
...
"How about my third question?" He then continued.
"For that question, the answer is-" The old man's voice was cut off by the old woman's voice.
"It was only just a ritual to activate the the bloodline within you, nothing more nothing less."
...
"Is that so?" Giann said as he placed his arm in his chin.
...
"For a young man who wants to have power, you take this very simply and calmly. Aren't you gonna ask for more details?" The old woman's voice became piqued interest while looking at the calm expression of Giann.
...
[Hmmp! Cause I didn't understand to begin with!] Giann cried inwardly while trying his best to have a calm demeanor.
"Wait! So you are in every member of the clan right seniors?!" Giann suddenly bursted as he remembered something.
"Yes." The old woman's voice responded.
"Is my mother, father, and sister still alive?!" Giann asked while his eyes were filled with worries.
