[Do you want to use it now?] - The system asked.
Alexander was stunned to receive a lucky spin and a starter pack. If he can just at least get something good, it will really help him in his current situation.
"Yes, let's begin with a starter pack first," Alexander instructed.
[Congratulations! You have received the following items from the Starter Pack: 5,000 gold coins, Basic Resources Pack, and a Low-grade Kingdom Revival Token]
[Do you wish to use the Kingdom Revival Token now?] - The system asked.
Seeing that he received something valuable like gold, he wanted to check the amount in the basic resources pack.
…
[Basic Resources Pack - Added in System Storage]
Wood: 10,000 units.
Stone: 5,000 units.
Food Supplies: Enough to feed 300 people for one week.
Iron: 1,000 units (for tools and basic weapons).
Arcane Core (Low Grade): 300]
"Food supplies worth enough to feed 300 people for a week? This is great! With this, the food problem is now solved," Alexander exclaimed, a smile adorning his face.
He glanced down at the panel and noticed that he had also won an Arcane Stone. While he felt pleased, he was slightly disappointed to see it was only a low grade.
After all, what could he expect from a Basic Resources pack? According to his memories, even though the original Alexander never studied, he had learned the basic knowledge about the uses of Arcane Core during his childhood.
Arcane stones are crystalized cores or magical essences that beasts leave behind when they are defeated.
This serves as a valuable resource for everyone since it can be used for absorption as long as it is cleansed from its impurities. However, cleansing needs to have a purifying magic, and only the Radiant Church is filled with this practitioner.
Even if an individual possesses this ability, they must have a deep understanding of light magic or at least be equipped with a second-tier spell.
For a commoner, obtaining a second-tier spell or even purchasing one is nearly impossible due to the high cost, and some spells may not even be available for sale.
Even purchasing a first-tier spell is nearly impossible, and for a noble to acquire a second-tier spell, the chances are quite slim.
However, if a noble possesses significant influence and power, obtaining one may be possible, as these spells are only available through the Radiant Church.
In a banquet hall, young Alexander listened intently as someone shared a story with a group of children. The tale was about the "Radiant Church," a religious organization that encourages the worship of Solara, the goddess of light and order.
They are highly influential in kingdoms that embrace their faith; sometimes, they can advise the rulers or have the power to be in command.
They don't misuse their power and authority, as any actions must be reported to the highest authority before taking action.
The person then shared the story of the church's powerful military group, the Dawnblades. They are exceptionally strong and are tasked with hunting heretics and combating dark forces, especially 'Demons'.
While their teachings promote peace, their intolerance towards other religions or practices like necromancy and paganism is their pet peeve.
Back to the present, if Alexander remembers according to his memories, the Arcane Cores are differentiated in level.
[Quality Based]
Low-Grade Arcane Core - These are dropped by weak beasts and are used in minor crafting, low-tier enhancements, and serve as a battery to power formations and arrays.
Mid-Grade Arcane Core - Dropped by stronger beasts, these stones are used for both crafting and enchantment. They also offer various functions in addition to serving as a battery for formations and arrays.
High-Grade Arcane Core - These stones are dropped by powerful beasts. It is rumored that a living adult dragon possesses this type of stone.
??? - He forgot, but there is a much higher level than this.
...
Just by looking at it, getting a high-grade quality Arcane stone is nearly impossible—not entirely impossible, but hard—since a living adult dragon can just stomp his kingdom with one foot, destroying at least 40% of his kingdom.
Its fire breathing can only do the deed; with just one breath, his kingdom would be gone! If he even think about slaying or even offending one? Then he would be doomed.
Seeing the panel about the Kingdom Revival Token could be used; he decided to check what it was.
…
[Item: Kingdom Revival Token - In the inventory]
Grade: Low Grade
Description: A magical item that increases the morale and loyalty of the people, giving them hope and motivation to follow their lord.
Effect: Restores 100% infrastructure of at least 1 village in the kingdom (Examples are roads, homes, roads, crops, and more as long it is in the vicinity of the village - As long as it is a village then this item will work as long it is connected to a kingdom)
…
Alexander looked at the list of items with wide eyes, his heart racing. "This... this is way more than I expected!" he muttered, gripping his head in happiness.
His gaze lingered on the Kingdom Revival Token and the resources listed. "If I use these now, I can repair some of the mess this place has become. And with the coins... I might even be able to hire help or buy supplies."
Looking at the 5,000 gold coins. Gold Coins are not a small amount in his current situation,
"This is literally enough to rebuild the remaining village; I could hire workers, buy supplies, and even start fixing the walls of the kingdom with this!"
"Back in my world, this would be like carrying hundreds of thousands of pesos. How did I get so lucky after being roasted by a challenger?" he sigh from his good luck.
Just to be on point here, his weekly wage was not very high, only about 2,000 to 3,000 pesos when he was working in his world. So you can see how happy he was because of this.
(Author: But for real, can that be considered good luck?)
[To provide you a good understanding of what it can buy, here is the list]
[Currency in this world]
1 Royal Coins = 100 Gold Coins - King class Currency
1 Gold Coin = 100 Silver Coins - Noble Class Currency
1 Silver Coin = 100 Bronze Coins - Middle-Class Currency
1 Bronze Coins - Commoner's Currency
...
Bronze coins are the smallest currency unit, and they are primarily used for everyday transactions by commoners.
With 1 bronze coin, you can buy a small half of a loaf of bread, a small piece of cheese, or simple tools like a broken candle or a wooden spoon.
For 50 bronze coins, you can afford a basic meal at a tavern, repair damaged clothes or shoes, or rent a simple straw bed at an inn for one night. Bronze coins are essential for day-to-day life and are the foundation of the economy for common folk.
Silver coins, worth 100 bronze coins, are used for larger transactions or more expensive items.
With 1 silver coin, you can buy a week's worth of food for a small family, such as bread, grains, and vegetables. It can also pay for a very cheap sword, a night in a decent inn, or a laborer's wage for a full day's work.
If you have 50 silver coins, you can hire a skilled craftsman, like a blacksmith, to repair or craft something useful. You could also afford a basic horse or wagon to transport goods. Silver coins are often used by merchants or middle-class individuals for more substantial purchases.
Gold coins, worth 100 silver coins, are a significant form of wealth and are mostly used by nobles, merchants, or for large-scale transactions.
With 1 gold coin, you can pay a month's salary for a trained guard or soldier, buy a finely crafted weapon, or purchase a small plot of farmland along with basic livestock, such as 5 goats or 5 cows.
With 50 gold coins, you could hire a group of mercenaries or adventurers for a short-term mission, or repair small sections of the kingdom's walls or damaged buildings.
Now, imagine what 5,000 gold coins could accomplish—it's enough to rebuild at least half of the entire kingdom, or maybe not half, but about 30% of it. He can hire an army, or sustain a population for 1 month. If he had no problems, but with this amount, it would be in no time before it was spent.
Royal Coins were used for even bigger transactions. Only some high-ranking kingdoms and empires used this currency to trade, but Alexander had seen one before. If he remembers, his father used to have some royal coins, but they were already spent.
Alexander opened his system storage, glancing at the inventory where his newly acquired items were stored.
After some thinking, he focused on the Lucky Spin before using the Kingdom Revival Token to repair the broken infrastructure. With excitement bubbling in his chest, he navigated his fingers to the spin feature.
[Do you want to spin now, host?] - The system prompted, waiting for his command.
"Yes! Spin me a good one, Razon," Alexander said, calling the system by its nickname.
Suddenly, a spinning wheel appeared before him, glowing with vibrant colors. The prizes remained a mystery, each represented only by a question mark, but the colors indicate their rarity.
White - Basic
Gray - Uncommon
Yellow - Rare
Green - High
Blue - Legendary
Red - Mythic
His eyes quickly glanced at the mythic reward, which was represented by a sliver on the wheel so small that it felt like a joke.
The system provided the odds: a 0.01% chance to win a mythic reward.
The legendary rewards had slightly better odds, with a 1% chance, while the basic and uncommon categories were more prevalent on the wheel, offering the highest likelihood of winning.
Alexander couldn't help but mutter, "I don't have high hopes for the legendary or mythic, but… just something decent, please." he begged the system.
[Spinning the wheel…]
The wheel spun with vigor, the red indicator circling rapidly across the rewards. Alexander leaned closer, his eyes fixed on it, the tension was coiling in his chest.
As the wheel slowed, the colors began to pass by in a more deliberate rhythm.
"Come on… something good," Alexander prayed under his breath, clasping his hands together like a desperate gambler.
It felt as if the original Alexander had returned, as this was something he sometimes did during gambling.
The spinning wheel gradually came to a crawl, passing over white, gray, and other rare sections.
His sights were set on the high rewards, and he refused to let himself hope for anything more. Yet, what happened next left him completely stunned.
The wheel stopped.
The blue section lit up.
The screen flashed a notification
[Congratulations! You have won a Legendary Reward.]
"What?!" Alexander's jaw dropped. His heart skipped a beat. A legendary reward? He blinked, staring at the wheel.
"Did… did I really just—?" He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"My luck is actually turning around for once!"
The system didn't let him celebrate for long. Since another notification appeared, its golden text glowed against the interface.
[You have obtained a Legendary Bloodline: Behemoth Bloodline.]
For a moment, Alexander froze, unable to process the words. "Behemoth Bloodline… a legendary one at that?" His voice wavered with disbelief.
The shock gave way to an overwhelming mix of excitement and awe. "This… this will change everything."
[Bloodline: Behemoth
Grade: Legendary
Description: The Behemoth Bloodline is one of the oldest and most revered bloodlines in history, said to have originated from the primordial age of titanic beasts.
Millions of years ago, during the Era of the Colossal Titans, the world was ruled by creatures of unimaginable size and power. Among them, the Behemoth reigned supreme a creature so massive its footsteps caused earthquakes, and its roar could even shatter mountains and rivers.]
[You have gained +100 Strength!]
[You have gained +100 Defense!]
[You have gained +40 Vitality!]
[You have gained +250 Health!]
[You have gained +50 Stamina!]
[You have gained +20 Speed!]
"Damn, this is craz—" Alexander's words were cut short as his body suddenly convulsed.
He dropped to the cushion of the bed, clutching his chest as an overwhelming surge of power coursed through him.
His muscles began to ache, not in pain, but as if they were being reforged from within.
A deep heat radiated through his limbs, spreading from his core to every corner of his body. He could feel his frame shifting, growing, as though his very bones were being restructured.
A faint glow enveloped him, and within moments, his scrawny physique transformed into something far beyond his irginal self.
His once-average frame now showed a perfect athletic build, with defined muscles that appeared to have been sculpted by a master artist.
Every inch of his body exuded strength and balance—neither overly bulky nor thin, but rather a flawless combination of power and agility.
His chest broadened, his arms and legs thickened with lean muscle, and his posture straightened naturally, giving him an aura of dominance.
Alexander's height, once an average 5'10", surged to an imposing 6 feet tall. He looked down at his hands, previously slim and unremarkable, now larger and stronger, with veins faintly visible beneath his skin.
He stumbled to a nearby old mirror, catching his reflection. Alexander could hardly recognize himself. His face, once boyish and soft, had taken on a more mature, chiseled appearance.
His jawline was sharper, his cheekbones more prominent, and his eyes now carried a piercing intensity.
"This... is me?" he muttered, his voice slightly deeper and steadier than before. He flexed his hands experimentally, feeling raw power at his fingertips.
As he stood there, Alexander's entire demeanor changed. His every move and action gave him the feeling of dominance and a higher being.
[Would you like to check the Skills?] - The system asked.
Hearing the prompts, Alexander was, of course, glad to see the bloodline's own skills. Not wasting any moretime, he opened the panel to see the skills.
