Sin and Virtue System-Chapter 27 27. Bloodline Awakening. [2]
[Before the chaos.]
I looked around the dungeon and found a place rich with mana.
It was the core of the dungeon and some high-grade mana cores were lying around.
According to the common sense of this world, a dungeon is powered by a core, and to upgrade a dungeon's levels there are two methods.
The first is to wait for the saturation of mana inside the dungeon and after a sufficient amount of mana is collected, the dungeon upgrades itself. It is a natural phenomenon.
While the second method is to 'feed' the mana to the dungeon, an artificial method to increase the floors inside the dungeon. An upgrade increases the number of floors inside the dungeon after all.
Once a dungeon is ranked, a dungeon fairy is born and the fairy controls the dungeon. But the one who controls the dungeon core is the true boss.
I was out of words when I saw the hundreds of high-grade mana cores lying on the ground as if pebbles.
'I will increase the dungeon levels later.'
To awaken the bloodline, the system provided me with the required knowledge.
I first needed to consume the demoness' core, then the dungeon core, and then the mana cores lying around.
Mana cores do not need to be eaten, they just need to be sucked.
I looked in the middle of the room where a white orb of light was shaking violently after sensing my presence. It was the dungeon core.
Once I was prepared I cut my chest with my claw and poured the blood on the ground and started drawing a circle, some figures, and seven letters.
'Demon language, I, the great progenitor, decides whether you live or you die, I create, I cherish and I destroy…'
Once the circle was filled with the letters from the demon language, I muttered something.
'Demon language, I exist, I wander, and I destroy. In the deepest abyss of the crimson valley, only I sit on the throne, above all, goddesses serving my sin, sinners worshiping me and only me. The pride, the envy, the gluttony, the greed, the lust, the anger, and the sloth. I contradict and I contemplate…"
Without holding anyone superior to me I kept chanting for a minute.
The red circle started glowing and the letters started floating and dancing around me.
I consumed the required cores and a surge of energy flowed inside me.
Without realizing it I had already broken through the second circle and was at its peak.
Whether demons or humans, it requires many years to break through the second circle.
The students of the royal academy are provided with artifacts and artificially increased only three stats to ascend.
The 'true' second circle break thorough takes a lot of time and patience, they are called prodigy.
And I was on the verge of breaking through the third circle with all my stats.
Everything inside me was changing, I felt that even the system was changing.
The mana was condensing and swirling around me.
I felt hungry, like a beast.
I started running across the dungeon like a salivating beast to find food, this new sensation was different.
But this feeling did not last long as pain took over.
'AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!'
I wanted to shout at the top of my lungs but I felt like there were no vocal cords.
My body started burning, every cell was changing, and every muscle was contracting and expanding. My bones started twisting in weird angles, and something inside my body started producing.
In the middle of my chest, I felt a gaping hole where all the mana was concentrated.
I lost the visionary and hearing senses. As if I was getting cut by thousands of knives at the same time, my skin started stretching and I felt that pain, but my vocals were still not present.
To vent my frustration, I tried to punch the walls, but when I punched the wall I felt an unimaginable pain as my hand twisted after hitting the wall.
This was the second time after the transmigration, that I felt this amount of pain.
I didn't realize when, but I lost my consciousness.
…
When my senses returned I didn't know how much time I'd spent in bloodline awakening.
"Ha…"
"!"
I realized that the pain was subdued.
Not only that, but my body also felt much better.
I tried to open my eyes only to look around the empty room, where some torches were hung on top of the walls. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
"Ugh!"
I puked some blood, which I felt was toxic and unnecessary for my body. Probably it was my previous blood?
After calming down a little I looked around.
While looking around I noticed a subtle change and that was the room was clean and a few spatial rings were lying on the ground.
'Where are the dead bodies?'
I wondered and wandered into the room, but I didn't find any clue about the sudden disappearance of the dead bodies.
<Congratulations Host, the host Logan Wayne has awakened the bloodline of a demon progenitor,
Traits:
Ventra's Demon rules do not apply.
Rulebreaker.
The Conqueror.
The Sinister.
Bloodline suppression…. [Read more]>
'Later.'
I was too tired to read those things.
'Status'
So tired that I did not notice the change in the system interface.
Previously it felt like a simple system window, however, now it felt livelier.
The monotonous voice of the seductive lady felt a bit freer.
Suddenly an alert rang inside my head as if I did not like this change.
<Host, Logan Wayne, does not need to worry about the system. Just like previously the Sin and Virtue system will not meddle with the Host's activities unless the host requests to.>
I was still skeptical and will remain in the future.
'The one who knows everything about you is far worse than the enemy.'
Although the system only interacted with me, it was still possible that someone planned to harm me in a worse way.
'No matter what, I can't shake that possibility.'
<Host, Logan Wayne's stats are updated, except for the Seven granted purchases, everything is rearranged.>
My eyes shot up as I read that message.
What does it mean 'rearranged'?
'Stats'.

…
I sighed a breath of relief.
The rearrangements were not anything serious, only my credited stat points were either used or removed and some of my abilities and skills had levels.
'This is the reason I can't trust this.'
If something can be done without my concern and I am nothing but a medium for a supreme being to handle a situation, then it is like a puppet and puppeteer.
And I didn't allow it.
'If there are going to be any changes then only 'I' will decide it. You get that?'
<According to emergency protocol, to save the host's life, the stat points were used without the host's concern, would you still like to execute your order?>
'Yes, even in the face of danger, unless I order, no change shall be done.'
I might have sounded na?ve but that was necessary to have my own control over my body.
…
Except for some minor changes, like the new red-colored status window, some information about the baron rank, and the memories of my pain, there was nothing to know about.
The only interesting thing in that memory was I used [Devour] to absorb all the beings lying dead, including Adelio to regenerate my muscles and blood which I lost.
And their memories were floating inside my head.
I planned to work on that later.
Currently, there were some bugs around the dungeon, and according to my plan, I needed to catch a few of them, kill a few, and use them for my Evil points.
But before everything, I went near the mirror left by the matriarch and looked at my new appearance.
The curse of ugliness was removed as I was reborn.
The reason why I chose the progenitor's bloodline was that I needed to remove that shit curse.
Looking at my new appearance,
"Pftttt… HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA~"
I let out a burst of sinister laughter.
***
[A/N: Just to clarify, there aren't any major changes in the system status, and Logan got a massive strength boost because of the consumption of the Matriarch's core and Adelio.]
