My strength, that was probably there allowing me to wreak so much havoc, has disappeared almost completely leaving behind only enough for my body to handle.
If the bloodline, soul and heart bring strength to the body then the body itself is a limit.
Although, it can be improved with training, there is a limit.
The seat of the universe.
There are broadly three kinds of ancient ones; ancient beasts, primogenitures, and the ancestors.
The ancient beast and primogentures indeed provide best body but the bloodline gets diluted and less effective with each generation farther from source.
While ancestors were just normal humans with powers.
So, there is demerit of mixing the bloodlines forcefully like now.
But still, everything changed now is better than last their previous form.
I think my mental strength and ability to think is also enhanced.
Were these ancient beasts more intelligent than humans now?
Maybe, it is just the improvement of bloodline since the improvement in bloodline also leads to improvement of soul and heart.
Aftee washing remaining sweat and blood, I got ready for a new day.
After all, the settling down of bloodline only took about twenty minutes but the change in bloodline has costed more than ten hours of pain.
[Timer: 01:06:07:42]
Just one day and six hours to the start of the game.
Sigh...
=======================
It is evening, the sun is shining down orange midst the mountain hills.
I bought some contact lenses designed for the aristocrats to have some stylish looks to hide my green spider web eyes.
I chose the ones matching my hairs but the shopkeeper kept warning me that they will be too uglishly noticeable until I flashed my hairs.
I am also wearing a cloak until I cut hair since their beauty may cause chaos.
Just kidding, I just don't want them to accidently move when in public.
By trial, I have noticed that these hairs will grow if I pass mana through them.
But, they can't contract.
The roots of my hairs till my ears are mostly emerald green, so I could shed the longer blue hair portion just by thinking.
Then, regrow it by adding mana, I prefer to keep them knee high since there won't always be accidents in case Rishta isn't with me.
All of my injuries are also healed, all cracks and joint dislocation are fully done.
I just hope to see his face, that look people make when they see the one who threw them off a wall and sent to hospital bed is lively moving.
"Mom, I am back."
I threw away my slippers and ran inside.
There you all are.
Why is the atmosphere so gloomy, did somebody die?
"Brother, I don't even feel worry about you anymore. I am sure everyone is thinking the same."
Kishen, was it?
Sorry kid, I haven't even said a word to you till now. Yet, you are always talking to me.
I think I am some kind of rare introvert...
Mom, why are you staring at the floor blankly like that?
Oh, mother in law is not here.
Father, don't be so useless, cheer her up.
Natalia, why are you standing at a corner looking at me with those pity-filled eyes.
Rishta is also here, but in some new casual clothes instead of her armour she had been wearing all this time.
"A family gathering, isn't it?"
Isn't it?
Father looked at me for the first time,
"Six bones definitely broken, eighteen major cracks, over twenty minor cracks, and who knows how many more injuries... Yet, until I ordered the potions, someone already ran away and returned after a day."
"But, I left behind a letter."
He stood up and walked up to me,
Even when I am so tall, no the tallest in the whole academy, my father is still a head higher than me.
I bowed down my sight to the floor, feeling a bit guilty
I know I am about to get some scoldings.
His grim tone fell,
"Thankfully, you left a letter behind this time, otherwise I would have overturned the whole kingdom again in search of you."
Yeah, the second time, first time was when I followed the mages who came to invite me to the academy back to the academy.
That time, a civil war almost erupted among the mercenaries and the royal society.
The royal court includes nobles and the royal family.
"I was ready again to do the same, but your mother stopped me saying that it was a usual case and you will always repeat it. It is quite to do anything and stop yo-"
"Uncle wait! He is not big brother Illyum." The little Kishen, who was only thirteen year old, exclaimed bringing the everyone spaced out in the room back to reality.
Father's eye visibly widened and he grabbed my cloak and ripped it off.
"I can explain!"
Maybe, I can.
