Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: A Year Passes and the Reward is Claimed

After a year had passed since Neil's birth in the Karsov mansion, a small boy stood whose height did not exceed one meter. However, if someone looked at him, they would think the boy was 4 or 5 years old, but in reality, he was only one year old. This was due to the continuous nourishment of his cells by mana every day throughout the past year.

The boy was holding a wooden sword at that moment, swinging it in the air with remarkable skill. Several guards stood watching him from the side, shock evident on their faces. These guards, who were knights of the fourth and fifth levels, were not as proficient with the sword as this young child. The boy was swinging the sword as if it were merely an extension of his arm, moving with such ease and fluidity as if he were simply raising his hand.

At that moment, Neil was fully focused on his sword exercises. After a short while, he felt a strange sensation and sat down on the grassy ground in the garden as if he were meditating. The captain, when seeing the guards' astonishment, did not respond to their inquiries but stood trembling slightly. He had been stuck at the peak of the sixth level of knight for years, unable to comprehend the essence of the sword. But here was his young master, seemingly understanding that essence with just a wooden sword!

In the depths of the Karsov mansion, a middle-aged man opened his eyes, a gleam of ancient wisdom shining in them. It seemed as though his eyes could pierce through walls. After watching Neil briefly, he closed his eyes again as if nothing had happened.

A few minutes later, Neil stood up again, swinging the wooden sword with force. Suddenly, the sword shattered in his hand, and the ground beneath him cracked with a large fissure about two meters long.

Neil did not seem overly surprised by this and quietly said to himself, "A year has passed... I believe only three days remain, correct?"

The three days passed quickly. Late at night, while everyone else was asleep, Neil stood under the moonlight, eagerly awaiting the passing of his first year. After a few seconds, a screen flashed before his eyes:

**"Name: Neil Karsov 

Race: Human 

Knight: Not Activated 

Sorcerer: Level 1 

Talent: Knight (Legendary), Sorcerer (Legendary)"**

**"Ding: Congratulations! A year has passed since the host's awakening."**

**"Reward"**

**"Ding: Drop of Ancestral Dragon Blood (Demi-God) 

A drop from a divine being that stood at the pinnacle of dragons. When added to your blood, you acquire dragon blood."**

**"The reward has been delivered to the inventory."**

The reward was astonishing, and with it, Neil prepared to open a new chapter in his journey toward power and greatness.
