"Great! Killed Fomorian, earned 500 experience points!"
"Ding! Experience points are full, the host's level has increased to 36."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for leveling up, you are rewarded with the Reincarnation Eye!"
"Wait, directly rewarded with the Tenseigan (Reincarnation Eyes)?" Aston was in the 49th floor of the dungeon, hunting Fomorians. After his solo defeat of Barol, the adventurers became less wary of floors 40 to 49. Aston was hunting Fomorians when he leveled up.
Hearing the system's reward, he was slightly taken aback. Previously, the Sharingan had to be upgraded step by step. But this time, the reward was the Tenseigan, right away.
"Shouldn't it start from the Byakugan and then evolve slowly?"
Despite his complaints, his eyes transformed from the black and red Sharingan to the blue Tenseigan in a moment. He instantly mastered the abilities of the Reincarnation Eye. At the same time, Aston received some information.
"So that's how it is. It's impossible to just leap there in one step."
"Although I received the Reincarnation Eye, I can't use it for now. It's like the original story where Toneri activates the Reincarnation Eye's abilities. The system's Reincarnation Eye also needs to be activated through a 'maturing' process. It's really hard to describe."
"However, compared to the Sharingan, it seems easier. The Sharingan needed constant use to evolve to a level comparable to the Reincarnation Eye. The Reincarnation Eye just requires some time to wait for its maturing. Now it's already the first maturing phase, and two more are needed."
Tiona immediately noticed the change in Aston's eyes. "Aston, your eyes changed again?"
On Aston's other side, Ryuu, who was fighting a Fomorian, heard Tiona's voice, shuddered, and looked over excitedly. However, upon seeing Aston's Reincarnation Eye, Ryuu's excitement turned to disappointment. "Not the kind of change I was waiting for!" she muttered, cutting a Fomorian in half.
Despite her disappointment, Ryuu joined Tiona and others around Aston. "Aston, what's this?" they asked, seeing the transformation of his eyes.
When they saw Aston's eyes had changed again, they were astounded. "It's a new ability, possibly related to bloodline. I'm not entirely sure myself," Aston explained, attributing the change to a bloodline issue, which was plausible given the emergence of various bloodlines since the descent of immortals and spirits a thousand years ago.
Although Aston is an elf, he is actually a half-elf with half human lineage, so it's natural that he might possess some unique bloodline from the immortals.
"Ah, I see." The others easily accepted Aston's explanation. In this world, there are indeed many possessors of various bloodlines. It's normal for Aston to have a unique bloodline. It is said that in the Hephaestus Familia, there is a bloodline inheritor of the magic sword Crozzo family, although he's a bit of a fool.
"Let's go, let's take a break in the safe zone. I'm so hungry I could flatten a horse," Tiona said, patting her stomach and grinning.
"Indeed, it's time for a rest. I was thinking of taking a bath," Tione agreed, nodding her head.
The other two also nodded in agreement.
They had been in the dungeon for nearly ten hours and it was indeed time for a break.
"Alright, let's go," Aston nodded slightly, and the group headed towards the passage to the 50th floor.
Upon entering the 50th floor, Aston and his companions set up a simple camp in an open area. Then Tiona and the others went off to bathe, leaving Aston alone at the camp to cook.
However, while cooking, Tiona returned to the campsite.
Seeing Tiona, with her hair wet and her face flushed, Aston couldn't help but smile. It seemed Tiona really enjoyed their time together.
Aston didn't hesitate; he stopped cooking, picked up Tiona, and headed into the forest. Continuing in the camp would certainly lead to them being discovered by the others when they returned.
However, Aston was overthinking it. Girls usually take a long time to bathe.
An hour passed, and when Aston and Tiona returned to the campsite, the others had not yet returned. It was only after another ten minutes that Tione and the rest came back.
They didn't notice anything unusual between Aston and Tiona, but Tione, as Tiona's twin sister, gave her a peculiar look.
Sitting together for dinner, Tione leaned over to Tiona and whispered in her ear, "Tiona, I didn't say anything last time, but you should exercise some restraint, it's quite uncomfortable for me."
Tiona's face turned beet red and she stammered, "What, what are you talking about, Tione?"
"We're twins, I can sense it," Tione warned her disdainfully.
Tiona was shocked, "Really?" she whispered back.
"Yes, I've known about you two since last time," Tione confessed, blushing.
Tiona seemed thoughtful upon hearing this. A few seconds later, she whispered something in Tione's ear that made her spit out her food in surprise.
