(Achievement unlocked, BLOODLINE PROPAGATION)
(Requirement: Have at least one descendant)
(Reward: System Unlock, First Update, 1000 points and 5 free questions)
(1st function: Talent increase. The host's talent is increased to Red, and all direct descendants (sons and daughters) have at least a White-level talent.)
'Finally, after almost 40 years in this world, my chance has arrived, my golden touch!'
"Wait, when did I have a child?????"
(The host had a child with a prostitute from the city of Freurem)
"Damn, it's been so long and I just arrived in the Alvares kingdom after all that mess with the 3rd prince's allies. I won't be able to return now, not without suffering the consequences. It's best to wait until the 2nd Prince reaches the 3rd kingdom before returning."
"And what's his situation now, system?"
(He is healthy and has a White-grade talent. After his mother's death in childbirth, he is being taken by a brothel employee to a village under the care of his mother's brothers.)
'I hope he stays safe. I can't go after him right now. I'll have to contact my second sister so she can help raise him until the succession dispute ends and I can return to the country.'
'So, system, give me a summary of what you can do and how I can get stronger.'
(I am the supreme bloodline system. Currently, most functions are locked and will be unlocked as your bloodline and number of living descendants grow stronger.)
(Currently, I can only improve the host's talent to Red and the direct descendants' talent to White at a minimum. I only have two more questions I can answer at maximum capacity until your next achievement and show the host's information, which is just mentally repeating "Status.")
'Damn, I forgot about that.'
'Okay, system. From now on, just...' "Answer when I explicitly ask and ignore my thoughts and show me my status."
(Okay, host)
(Name: Mikael Strauss)
(Age: 36 years)
(Lineage: None)
(Talent: Red Grade)
(Realm: Peak Martial Apprentice)
(Remaining life expectancy: 28 years)
(Number of descendants: 1)
(Points: 1,000)
"Damn, I only have 28 more years to live. The life expectancy of a peak martial apprentice like me should be at least 100 years. I should have known that the two failed attempts to advance to the 1st kingdom would have consequences, even though I took the protection pills before trying to advance. But it's okay, I'm an MC now, destined to live forever and be the strongest alongside my descendants."
"Now, should I ask what bloodlines are and what my previous talent was, or should I just ignore them since they aren't essential at the moment?"
"I think it's better to understand what talents and bloodlines are when I have fewer questions. Now it won't change much, but I hope I can cross the first kingdom with the talent increase."
"Now, finally, the fourth question: what exactly are you?"
(I am your golden finger, the supreme bloodline system, created by your desires and your soul that wandered through the cosmos before being reborn in this body. I exist only to assist you in developing completely.)
'Okay, so I only have one more question. It has to be worthwhile. What should I ask?'
'Perhaps you should ask about points, or about how to get more achievements and unlock more functions.'
'Wait, if he is a part of my soul and desire, how does he know so much? I don't even know when I had a child. Something is wrong.'
'What if this is one of those evil systems that deceives the user?'
'I didn't want to waste the last question on this, but system, here it goes: if you are a part of my soul and therefore I am, how do you know so much?'
(Your soul wandered for millions of years before reincarnating in this body. Because it was very weak during that time as a soul, it doesn't remember anything. I only have the knowledge that your soul witnessed while wandering and the knowledge that your direct lineage witnessed and acquired in other details. I am a database, but because it is very weak at the moment, the host cannot access this data. However, as the 'System' is updated, it will become stronger, and I am basically your 'golden finger.' It is recommended that the host have many descendants to become stronger and live eternally.)
'Okay, I'll have to accept this and hope it's true because if it's not, I'm really screwed.'
'Better not think too much about it. Weak as I am, it won't change anything, it will only prevent me from progressing.'
'And I've already died once, I have nothing more to lose.'
'Now what I have to do is get stronger now that my talent has turned red. Fortunately, I've returned to where I was at the peak of my martial apprentice after...' 'Fail again, and now that my talent has increased, I can try again after I settle in this city and secure a protection pill.'
'And who knows, maybe find a concubine while I wait for the dust to settle and have some descendants to update the system.'
'But first I have to meet with Max before trying anything in this city. After all, I'm in another kingdom, and even being one of Eriksen Strauss's sons, I can't act without restraint in another kingdom.'
