Chapter 68: Bloodline
He didn't let his happiness stop himself from starting the next pill refining session.
He had just formed the mana sphere, when he felt something inside him change.
<< Congratulation you have reached 50 points in one stat. Your flesh will now be remodeled >>
Before he could fully read the prompt a warm feeling seemed to flow out of his head and spread throughout his whole body. Soon the temperature increased until he felt that his whole body was being burned.
This felt extremely painful and he screamed out, while rolling around the floor. Those reactions couldn't change anything and he could only try to endure the feeling of his flesh being burned.
Slowly the pain overwhelmed him and he started to hope, that he would die soon. Yet because of the pain he was unable to stop this torture, by killing himself.
Under the extreme pain his mind seemed to slowly fracture as all coherent thoughts stopped and his mind was now only filled with the feeling of pain.
After what seemed like eons he finally blacked out.
When he woke up again he didn't know how much time had passed.
"F**k, what was with this pain? ", he cursed out loud. Then he tried to sit up, but due to the spasm, his muscles didn't obey him and he could only stay in the position on the floor, where he had fell down after the pain started.
He then carefully tried to feel his body to see what changes had happened.
As soon as he used his senses he was shocked. Even though his muscles seemed to be useless at the moment, in fact they were much stronger now. They seemed, like they had been broken and then rebuild multiple times until they had become much stronger. At least that was the feeling he got from them, since it was impossible to see what had really happened.
Besides the muscles, all his other flesh had been strengthened too.
*Seems like I have broken through level 50. I wonder what level I am now? *, Ivan instantly understood what happened. *But why was there so much pain? Nothing I have read mentioned that this breakthrough would be accompanied by so much pain.*
Half his mind was still observing his newly strengthened flesh, while his other contemplated these questions. As such he easily spotted the energy starting to flow through his flesh. *What kind of energy is that?*
It seemed like there was something unusual about his body, since this energy wasn't mentioned anywhere either.
<< Congratulation you have activated your bloodline.
Type: Chaos Dragon God Bloodline
Grade: Undetermined
Strength: Initial - Low
Effect: The body generates Vital Qi naturally. Other effects may exists, but are unknown at the current time.
>>
<< Congratulation you have unlocked a new Skill: Dragon Claw (Undetermined)
You can use the Vital Qi in your body to condense a dragon claw.
>>
* Hm? What is that? How come there rank seems to be undetermined?*
As soon as he saw these two prompts he instantly saw that their ranks wasn't displayed, but instead was undetermined. He wasn't sure whether it was good or bad, but was sure that he would be able to find out soon.
*But what is this bloodline thing? It has been mentioned in the Herb Garden too, and why has it been activated now? *
The second question was easily answered, since the time of its awakening had been the same as him reaching level 50, so it surely had something to do with this breakthrough. The first on the other hand was much harder to answer and he could only think of the same things as before.
*Hm, so this bloodline should be at least Heaven Grade, but the System won't tell me which exactly. Maybe it doesn't even know. But going by it's name, it should be quite awesome. After all there are the words 'Dragon' and 'God' in it. And the last word 'Chaos' is the same as in my first title, which is quite special too. *
Now that he had finished his breakthrough it was time to check out his stats.

There was quite a bit of change since he had really looked at the screen the last time, but something that he realized, and didn't quite like was that his skills were mostly level 1. Luckily most of his skills had nothing to do with direct combat except << Mana Manipulation >>, so it wasn't all that bad.
*Maybe I should get some combat skills?*
Even though one could cast just about any skill with just << Mana Manipulation >>, but it was hard to do more complex ones. Besides that, skills that were accepted by the System, were much more efficient. The problem was only that it was hard to get them, as there were only two ways. Either develop one on one own, which was impossible for him for now, and the other was with skill books.
But only some skill books could be copied and even then they were still very expensive. And as such that wasn't an option for the current him.
While trying to find ways to get some System accepted skills he remembered the Golden Lottery Ticket, which he had completely forgotten about.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
IvanDeSchreck
IvanDeSchreck The Character screen has gotten quite long, but I thought that it would be good to once again show it in it's entirely, so one can see the progress of the MC. But from now on I am at most show relevant part's of it, since I think it isn't really that important for the story.
If you have any thoughts about this, please put them into the comments.
