Chapter 19 Bloodlines
Seras (Pov)
As Ash and I were soaring over the city I realized I needed to make a plan for myself. I had no goals. At first, I was just created to help Raven, but now, now I have two daughters and a son. Soon I will have an entire Coven to take care of.
|Notice: If you leave Sapphire City you will fail the Quest: Make a name for yourself.|
'Yeah well, there's not a lot I can do about that. Huuuh, I was a system as well Alex. What is the punishment for failing this Quest?'
|....|
|....|
|Notice: Technically you have made a name for yourself by becoming the Phoenix Rider of Sapphire City. People will talk about you for generations. However, you did not gain a job or occupation and you were unable to train 10 students in your Martial Art. Therefore you will only be able to choose from one of the three rewards that you would have received upon completion.|
|Notice: Title Gained Phoenix Rider|
|+50 Charisma|
|Notice: Loading list of rewards from the Quest: Make a Name for Yourself. Rewards: +50,000 Exp, +100,000 Gold, +1 Bloodline from any creature in the shop menu.|
I had to reread the notifications twice to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. 'Wow Alex, that's a nice loophole you found there, thank you. Well, I think we both know what I'm going to pick so why don't you just pull up the store menu, category blood.
Immediately a giant blue screen appeared in front of me. Of course, I knew there would be millions of specimens to choose from, but damn. 'Um, Alex. Can you narrow the search to SSS-X rated blood please?' A loading symbol appeared on the screen. 'Oh yeah, haha, you are one of the most advanced nanite hiveminds in this section of the universe.
The loading symbol disappeared, but there were still thousands of choices to choose from. Alex, drop all triple S crystals and give me just the X rated.'
Now I just had to pick from 729 different species of blood. They all looked amazing. One of them wasn't even blood, it was solidified ether from the Void Spiders, that was what circulated in them. The only reason Alex is showing this to me is that I have that title that allows me to drink from anything thanks to Cinder.
Oh! Speaking of. Mentally I reached into my shadow and linked minds with her. 'Cinder, I may have forgotten some important information to give to your new brother. Once I give this to you you will share it with only Felix and order him to share it with Yuri, and only Yuri. Do you understand?' 'Yes, Master.' Sigh, I wish she would see me as her mother. However, because she was born of my shadow she sees me as her master. I get it, I just hope she will see me differently in the future.
After I sent Cinder on her way I put my focus back on the blood. Shit, I'm terrible at choosing things. Alex, upload a randomizing wheel and place all 729 choices onto it, then spin it.'
|Notice: Compiling collection….Collection complete. Spin starting.|
The giant screen in front of me morphed like a flowing river, transforming into a lottery wheel, spinning at an alarming rate. Looking to the side of Ash, I noticed we were just about to reach the ocean. That's when I'll stop it, it should only take another two minutes.
With a flap of her wings, we had just passed over the beaches of Sapphire city. 'Alex, stop the wheel.' At once the wheel slowed down, slowing until it stopped dead center.
"Oh, you have got to be shitting me!"

I know, an even shorter chapter than usual. My brain juices are failing me right now. I'm gonna try and get something out tomorrow as well hopefully not as short as this. Again I'm sorry. Thanks for reading, please review and comment.
