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

"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.
