Chapter 23: Chapter 23 - Reward and Changes ( 2 )
In some places in human territory, a young boy around 17 to 18 years old is sitting on a chair or a throne.
A golden sword is placed near his right hand.
The boy seemed to notice something. He opened his eyes and revealed golden pupils.
He gave a weak smile and picked up the sword.
He got up from the throne and walked toward a grand balcony.
A beautiful full moon and lots of stars made a beautiful painting in the sky.
The boy stood on the balcony feeling the chilly wind. He muttered to himself.
" the remaining fire has lit. Let us welcome the arrival of our last guest. The grand show is about to begin and this show will drag the whole world into it. But no matter what happens I will be the strongest." ( ???? )
Saying these prideful words the boy drew the sword in his hand and attacked something.
A quick flash-like thing appeared and disappeared in a second. The boy shealth the sword and walked back into the darkness.
Behind him a devastating crack is formed on the ground extended to a long distance. The moon continued to shine brightly in the sky.
Similar senses appeared in some locations. Only a few people know that something has started.
***
At the underground space.
The purple-coloured beam disappeared. All sorts of phenomena around me disappeared one by one.
Only I stood at my previous location without any clothes. As I was about to take some clothes from the system space new messages appeared in my mind.
[ Ding ]
[ the bloodline has awakened successfully. The host can check its in status.]
[congratulations to the host for completing the quest Edge of Death.]
[ host can claim the hidden reward of this quest. Does the host want to claim the reward now? Yes or no? The system thinks it better for the host to receive the reward now.]
I looked at the system messages and fell into deep thought.
System suggestion must have something important in it so should I listen to it or I should check my current state first?
After thinking for some time I decided to trust the system. I choose to receive the reward.
[ Ding ]
[ the hidden reward is generating...…reward is selected.]
[Congratulations the host got the talent " elemental shooter". Please get ready to receive the reward.]
' wait what do you mean by getting ready…..' ( David )
Before I could complete my sentence a pain similar to my bloodline awakening struck me.
This time I did not scream but just endured the pain.
This time instead of my heart my brain felt most painful to me.
Unlike before not only shadow elements but other elements also get attracted towards me.
A rift appeared in the space at different locations near my body. Different elemental mana emerged from those space rifts and got absorbed into my body.
Unlike before no mana circle or shadow appeared behind me. After some minutes the body absorbed enough mana and those space rifts also closed on their own.
The pain in my brain reduced and disappeared with those space rifts.
I am hella confused by what happened just now. This type of awakening feels boring after experiencing earlier bloodline awakening.
The first thing I did was to wear some clothes and then summon my status to look at the changes.

=========
I noticed a couple of new things. Instead of looking at them one by one, I asked the system to summarise the situation for me.
[ Ding ]
[first of all congratulations to the host for levelling up his authority.]
[ host has caused major changes to the future storyline so the system has acknowledged the host's efforts and increased the authority level of the host. Keep up the good work.]
[ host reached level 1 in authority level so some new system functions are unlocked.]
[ system space 20*20 cubic.M, System Store, Q&A section, points.]
[ system space storage limit has increased and an additional feature has been added. A new function equipment slot is added. Hosts can store equipment in this slot and wear them instantly as they will. With simple motion, gesture or thought the host can store or wear the equipment in saved slots.]
[ a unique store where you can buy things limited by the host's authority. The host can use points to purchase the things in the store.]
[ Q&A area is made especially for the host. The host can spend points to get answers to his questions. Depending upon the question different points will be required to get the answer. Some extreme questions can not be answered until the host reaches the required authority level.]
[ points are like the currency of the system. While killing monsters, humans, and other race beings, completing quests, using plunder and many other ways host can get points. Points can also be used as a substitute for the skill points but the ratio is 1: 10.]
[The host did not have enough authority to see the description or rank of his bloodline or things related to it.]
[ the new skill plunder is learned because the host awakened his bloodline. Some more changes applied to this skill due to the authority increase of the host and new system functions.]
[ due to the host's bloodline skill the curse of the host has disappeared. The host is free now.]
[ due to some unique element being added during the bloodline awakening ceremony the rank of the host has increased and the host has learned a new way to advance. Due to this, the potential of the host has reached to an unknown level. ]
[ during the bloodline awakening the host has absorbed the primitive energy called divinity. Hosts can collect this energy to do things impossible to imagine. If the host used divinity for each major rank up the host will get huge benefits in future. ]
[ if the host used the divinity while advancing in major rank like from E to D rank host will get short-term invincibility for some time after advancing the rank.]
I read the message and thought for some time. I know nothing good will happen if the main storyline gets disturbed but the moment I came into this world story is bound to change.
I know that knowing future events sounds like a massive advantage but the future itself is a changeable existence.
We can not be 100% that the future will be the same as we predicted so worrying about it is not a bright thing to do.
The butterfly effect is already started so the only thing I can do is to become powerful enough to face those unknown things head-on.
I believe in " do nothing or face the consequences of change". Since I have made the change I will face its consequences.
I looked at other information but a coughing sound attracted my attention.
I looked at the huge shadow that made the sound. Now I remember I have more rewards waiting for me.
"Hello, David. I must say you gave me a lot of surprises today. It is not easy to surprise me who lived for unknown years. I have seen many things so very few can surprise me. About your remaining rewards. How about I offer something more to you? Originally I wanted to give you a chance to enter " Everlasting Shadow School" as an unofficial student. But now I want to offer the invitation for Core Student. You will receive the best resources, skills, and other stuff. You just need to take the oath of not betraying the school and do your best to help the school in case of danger. So David Adam, do you accept my offer?" ( Shadow )
The voice of shadow seems more soothing compared to before I awakened my bloodline.
I scaled the pros and cons of the offer. After thinking a lot I give my answer to the shadow.
" I accept your offer. I can take the oath but I will not sacrifice myself for the school. The school and I will be in a cooperating relationship. Both will help each other. Do you agree mr. shadow." ( David )
" I agree. Now that you are willing to join the school I can introduce myself. I am the Guardian Spirit of the Everlasting Shadow School. You can call me iris. First, take an oath under the witness of the statue of the god of shadow." ( Iris )
The shadow or now Iris pointed towards the statue. I take a deep breath and speak loudly.
" I David Adam am joining the Everlasting Shadow School organisation with my free will. I will try my best to help the school in case of need or danger till the school treats me the same way. I will never betray the School only if the school does not betray me first if I do not follow the above text the most brutal curse may fall on me." ( David )
Just as I finished speaking, something bound me to the statue, like an invisible rope. If I ever break my oath, a terrible curse will hunt me. After reading the punishment for oath-breaking, I smiled to myself.
I looked at Iris who also stood and spoke loudly for the first time since I met it.
" I am iginis the Gurdian Spirit of Everlasting Shadow School takes David Adam as a Core Student of the School. The school will not betray or sacrifice David for its benefit and provide the best care for the future growth of David. If I break this oath a terrible curse might hit me" ( Iris)
It must have something up its sleeve as it takes the same oath as me. Iris sat on the throne and waved its hand.
Some things floated in front of me.
" some necessary items for the core student with some additional resources. Hope you will like it." ( Iris )
I looked at the floating things before me and used SCAN on them. I remembered the mental note I made to myself.
Before touching any unknown thing use SCAN to check it first.
