Killian realized that he had regressed and was not under some mind hex.
He looked in the mirror. "But why his body? Isn't he the supposed trash about to die soon".
Aldrich Drakewind was said to be the next heir of the Drakewind family, but the young man was so inept in combat that he was famously known as the coward of the family.
Killian, who had now regressed as Aldrich, was trying to remember what happened to the Drakewind family.
"The Drakewind family was a famous family of Dragon Slayers, and it was believed that the founder of the family was responsible for Sealing away the Dragons thousands of years ago.
The family, home to the most potent techniques for fighting against Non-human races, suddenly disappeared one day when I was in the academy. ", Killian tried to remember.
"The disappearance of the family head raised quite a few eyebrows, as he was one of the strongest warriors of the generation."
Many people considered it a ploy of the King, who was scared that the Drakewind family head might be too strong for him to handle.
The King faced severe backlash when the Dragons attacked, as there was no Drakewind family to defend against them this time, leading to civil wars and in-fighting, further weakening humanity.
"I remember that the Drakewind family was already declining, losing its strength with each generation. The family was no longer considered the strongest with no Dragons or other races to defend against."
"Did the Outer God provide me with anything else?" Aldrich looked around his body, trying to notice any changes in his body.
Suddenly a word appeared in his mind, and Aldrich felt forced to say the word that appeared.
"System?"
[The Host has successfully established a Contract with the Outer God]
"Contract?"

"What exactly are Outer gods? "Aldrich hoped for some answers.
[Outer gods are supreme beings that are not bound by the laws of this world]
"Why did it call me an Outer?" Aldrich remembered his conversation with the Angel and later with the Outer god.
Both had said that he was not entirely a human, and the Outer god called him an Outer before he regressed.
[Insufficient Authority]
"Tch", Aldrich checked the features of the system more.
Aldrich could see ruins forming in front of him, which could be seen only by him, as they were invisible in the mirror.
"Not awakened.." Aldrich realized that he had awakened in the body of 15-year-old Aldrich, who was turning 16 .
Humans awakened at 16, after which they could freely use mana after circulating mana inside their bodies.
"Aldrich must be getting an awakening soon. And a bloodline ability. I am curious to see what it will be".
A bloodline Ability gave the warrior or mage a skill to help them control and enhance their abilities. The Bloodline Ability of the King's lineage helped them learn to increase the morality of Soldiers around them by summoning an aura that raised physical abilities. In contrast, the Bloodline Ability of the FrostBorne family allowed them to Conjure Ice Mana at a faster rate.
Killian, being an orphan, was never able to awaken a bloodline Ability of his own.
He thought of when he was bullied at the academy for being a commoner.
"Tch", Aldrich spitted, thinking of the bad memories.
"Aldrich, the Family head is calling for you", a young female entered his room. The girl looked the same age as Aldrich and wore a maid costume, revealing her beauty.
Aldrich instinctively stepped back, noticing the woman, "Assassin?"
He knew he had to be careful of people around him, as the cause of death of the real Aldrich Drakewind was never revealed.
Aldrich had naturally formed a defensive stance after years of fighting against the Dragons, as he was ambushed countless times by humans and by Dragons.
"Coming, you can leave", he calmly said.
The girl left the room, surprised about Aldrich's reaction; she thought about Aldrich's pose just now, trying to create all the scenarios where she could attack him.
"Kick in the shin, result, Death."
"Poison dagger, result in Death."
…
The girl formulated all the possible scenarios against Aldrich.
"Zero openings", she said with an expressionless face before heading downstairs.
Aldrich relaxed when the girl left, "She's a high-level assassin, I couldn't sense any openings; I need to kill her", he declared.
