"Ah! Of course! How silly of me. I forgot that the two of you didn't know the roots of these bloodlines. Ok, let me explain it to you. 200 years ago, when humanity finally took a stand, several heroes valiantly fought against other races. Then, after we won the battle, they took the heads of their enemies as a token of pride and victory.
However, one of those heroes, Davos Rickson, did more than take their heads as tokens. He searched for ways in which we could use the powers of our enemies against them. So, after defeating a Dark Hollow, which was the strongest race at that time, he drank the slain enemy's blood. Everyone told him not to but he drank anyway. He drank and drank till he could feel a change. At first, he couldn't feel anything and was disappointed. But after a few weeks, he started feeling changes.
He eventually found out that he had the powers of a Dark Hollow! Although limited, the powers he was granted were beyond comprehension.
He then unified all the valiant warriors and started the annihilators. He was revered as the first master annihilator. He is also known to be the strongest. Once he checked his strength by using a Tetromite sphere. Not only did he get a white light, but he also got a light beyond that! The color of the light was incomprehensible.
No one could name that light, no one but him. He named it Minemdum. He said that it wasn't he who came up with the name; instead, he could see the word Minemdum on the glowing sphere. He said that the next person to get this light will also say the same. There are many legends of him.
Unfortunately, he died 6 months after getting these powers. The reason was that he drank too much blood. A normal human will blow up after a drop. He drank liters of it. During his last month, he said that he didn't have any regrets because he found a way to save humanity. After his death, several followers followed his footsteps and started drinking 10 drops of the enemies they slayed. But unfortunately, no one has been to reach the stage of the first master. Since we don't have any knowledge of that stage, it is known as the Minemdum realm. This is the story of how bloodlines started"
This story was indeed very unbelievable. The fact that humans could use other races' abilities was unheard of. Minemdum realm, the stage beyond S rank, was truly a mystery. By the way, if I forgot to mention it before, the S rank is the stage above the A rank. It is the stage that the vice captains, captains, and the master have achieved through their immeasurable power. To think that there is a stage even beyond that. It is simply terrifying. I still had a long way to go.
"Um, captain?" Nicola said.
"Yes, dear? Any question?"
"Yes. If it is true that the abilities of other races could be obtained, why is it that not everyone has this?"
"A very good question dear, yes, indeed. Miss Christina. Would you mind explaining this?"
"Yes, captain. The reason why everyone doesn't have such powers is that not everyone is compatible. After those valiant heroes drank ten drops of blood some prospered and lived a long life while the others died terrible and painful deaths. So, out of fear, no one dared to drink the blood of another race again. The heroes that survived made bloodline families carry their power through genes. This is why the current bloodline families are revered."
So that's how it was. Does that mean that if I'm compatible I'd be able to have a bloodline power too? Wow! I was tempted to drink the blood of an alien now.
