"Why did the System choose me? Or the Supreme Being behind the System?"
A very direct and simple question.
Max didn't believe that he was the chosen one from those stories, that will save the beauty and win her heart.
Or maybe kill the evil demon lord.
Although he is a vampire who should have grown like the other vampires who view humans as a delicacy and the such.
But Max is different, not only did he spend most of his time with humans, but he also despises the vampires that he has seen except for his mother.
After all who would love someone who bullied him all of his life?
Additionally, he also didn't believe that there is kindness without a price.
So even though he is super excited about the system, he still managed to maintain a few brain cells to question the purpose of giving him the System.
Super excited?
Of course, he must be super excited.
Who wouldn't be super excited when a pie suddenly falls from the sky?
And after hearing one of the many functions of the system, any normal vampire would have gone crazy from excitement.
Because reaching the level of Progenitor in a race is a big deal, something that will lead a person to stand at a very high place.
Higher than the family heads of the Vampire race.
So of course, Max is excited as Hell, but he managed to remain a little bit calm until he understands the crux of the manner.
And also with all the things occurring, don't forget that Max is just an 18-year-old kid.
[The Being that created the System selected you just because he saw something interesting in you] replied Lena making Max get out of his thoughts.
"Huh?"
"What do you mean?"
If you ask Max if anything is interesting in his life, the answer would be simple.
A big NO.
After all, someone without a good talent and with a weak bloodline purity, how can you expect him to have anything that can attract a Supreme Being?
So, Lena's answer confused Max more.
[Master, say status and you will understand]
'Like games?' said Max excited in his mind a little like the kid he is.
Max immediately uttered in a low voice.
"Status"
Immediately a crimson screen with gold marks that was decorating it from the sides and black writing on the screen that appeared in front of Max.
[ Full Name: Maxwell Ashrend

After taking a look at his status, two things attracted his attention and made him confused.
"Ehm, Lena?" Max just called uncertainly.
[Yes?]
"What is the curse the system is talking about? And the Disciple thing?" there is one more thing to ask but Max decided to get those questions' answers first.
[Master, someone cast a curse upon your soul since your birth and took away your talent and made your bloodline regress to such a level]
"What do you mean regress? And could talent be stolen in the first place?" Max now is beyond confused, because he has never heard of such a concept and he is still shaken by the knowledge that he is cursed by someone since his birth.
[Master, Bloodline, and talent come directly from the soul, so when a woman gets pregnant and the child gets his soul, all of his information, including his genetics and talent are recorded in the Soul]
This is new information that surprised Max a little, but the surprises aren't over as Lena continued,
[So, Master, before you came out of your mother's stomach, someone placed a curse upon you and stole your talent, doing this affected several things in your soul]
[From them was mainly your Bloodline as it degenerated to its current level, which led to you being born with Fledgling bloodline degenerated instead of a Royal one]
Hum?
What the hell?
"Wait, wait, cut, how many ranks of bloodlines are even there, and is there anything lower than Fledging?"
[There are 9 ranks, Royal rank can be considered the fourth which is the highest a newborn vampire can be born with, as for Fledgling…]
"Sigh, it is the last rank, isn't that right?" Max completed the sentence himself.
[Correct]
Now, I understand why my vampire abilities were too weak, that even my regenerative abilities were very slow.
And if that wasn't enough, all of my talents were taken away from me because of this unknown curse.
"Fuck," Max can only curse and then sigh again but then he remembered something that made his face look ugly for a second, before returning to normal as he needed to make sure with Lena.
"Lena, did that mean that the reason I failed take the first step in my Mana path is because of my bloodline and the Curse?"
The first level and the easiest one of them all.
It is called Initiate.
It has a very simple explanation.
At this stage, all I have to do is just begin to awaken my astral body and cultivate my Mana. Then I can form the first star in my heart, and by forming my first Star, it also represents my passion to learn and evolve as people say out there.
Of course, it is not easy, not many people could use Mana, and if it was easy, then Earth wouldn't have been this advanced in technology.
Only a small number of humans have access to Mana and the System of evolution placed by the Universe.
Yes a small number, but that small number is in the millions as humans have a very large population.
but still a small percentage, that's why the Supernatural society is hidden, as even the other races, not all of them could use Mana.
Anyway back to the point.
That means, my reason for failing to even absorb Mana in my body is probably because of the curse.
[Yes, Master this is correct]
Max then just stayed silent for a few minutes to make sure his head is okay after hearing Lena's confirmation of his inquiry.
Max felt that there is a lot of information to process but decided to ask something important for now.
"So, Lena, what is the solution to this curse."
Max was oblivious that the Curse has been removed from the moment the system entered his body as he fainted the moment the pain was gone and he didn't check the earlier notification.
[Master, the curse has already been removed, the moment the System entered your body]
"???"
Max stayed confused for a few seconds.
Learning of a curse in his body that prevented him from doing anything, and then hearing that it has been removed from his body in the same hour isn't an easy thing,"
"And so, is my bloodline going to return to its previous level?" Max asked filled with expectations, but Lena just answered flatly to his expectations by crushing them.
[No]
Sigh, Max can only sigh again but before he can continue speaking.
Lena continued her earlier words, which made his expectations go over the roof.
[The System will help you exceed your previous bloodline rank, but that will take effort from your side and will depend on the classes you will choose in the future as you level up]
"So where can I choose my class thing you talked about?"
[Just say Class Selection and a new tab will appear in front of you]
"Okay, Class Selection"
Then a screen appeared before him with tons of information.
