Unlike the other times that Klaus had woken up the next morning, this time he didn't.
When his eyes finally opened, he was still lying in the backyard garden with moonlight filtering down around him. The twin moons hung in the sky exactly where they'd been before he'd lost consciousness.
He hadn't been out for hours… maybe only minutes.
'What the hell?' Klaus thought, blinking in confusion.
He pushed himself up slightly, his back aching from lying on the grass. He remembered that before he'd fainted, the system had detected a dormant bloodline. That discovery had made him excited and genuinely hopeful for the first time since reincarnating into this world.
He looked at the translucent blue notification tab still floating in front of his eyes and that excitement died immediately.
[??? is interfering with the Bloodline Awakening Process and as a result, your Bloodline Awakening has failed!]
'Fuck,' Klaus thought bitterly.
