33 Chapter 32 (Bloodlines)
. . .
"Siegrain, Why did you call for a meeting at this time?!"
In the in the HQ of the Magic Council, three holograms appeared, displaying three old men. One was a short old man with oddly, flat, brown hair. He, also, has tufts of hair on either side of his head that resemble ears and what appears to be a light-yellow tail growing out of his backside; these two attributes give him a strong cat-like appearance. Lastly, he had a bristle edged mustache.
The other old man was a tall gray-haired elderly man with a considerably long beard, as well as a mustache. He has pointy ears and had only one of his eyes opened. Next to him is a short, old man with thick light-brown eyebrows and a small toothbrush mustache that reaches halfway to his mouth, and wore a black three-spiked hat.
The one who yelled angrily at 'Siegrain' was Org, the tall old man with one eye shut and a long beard.
"I am terribly sorry to bother you all but, I need your help in getting a friend out of trouble."
'Siegrain' said, bowing slightly with hand on his chest.
"What? Who might this friend be?"
The small, cat like old man said, suspiciously.
"He is 'The Void Shredder' from Fairy Tail."
Siegrain said calmly.
*GASP*
The three old men gasped in shock.
They all knew about the 'Void Shredder'. The Magic Council has previously had many meetings in the past to argue in what to do with him. He was seen as a threat, growing powerful at a ridiculous rate and being a Dragon Slayer with Space as his element gives him even more potential to grow, maybe even reach the strength to be among the Ten Wizard Saints. The Council started notice him when he started to slaughter Dark Wizards and other dangerous criminals. The Magic Council decided to just leave him be. It would be unwise to make a powerful enemy for no reason, instead having a powerful ally would be best. Although the Council haven't approached Daniel yet, they still let him freely slaughter enemies of the Magic Council.
"What?! How could he have been captured?! If we allow this to happen, he may start to have faint hostility towards the us!"
Org said shock and worriedly.
"He killed Everlue, the Politician from Shirotsume Town."
Siegrain said, crossing his arms and his face turned serious.
"What?!"
This time all three old men yelled in shock.
"How have we not been notified?!"
Yajima said angrily.
"That is because this has only happened recently. I went and asked the Envoy who captured Daniel, and apparently, he was really close to Shirotsume Town and heard about what happened. The reason you most probably haven't heard of what has happened is because this foolish Envoy decided to shut down any spread of information about what transpired, so he could get to Daniel first and receive merit."
Siegrain said, looking at the others seriously.
"That Envoy should be fired! How irresponsible! Keeping us from valuable information!"
Michello said, waving his cane angrily.
Although Michello was a selfish individual, he knew that offending a person with potential of becoming one of the 10 Wizard Saints is a bad move.
"Yes, however, we should leave that discussion for later. Siegrain this decision has to be made with all the members. Although the Envoy does deserve to be punished, he did us a favor keeping things hidden from the public. However, this will only last for a while so we will make the decision soon.
Org said, looking at Siegrain sternly.
"Very well. I have moved Daniel to an establishment of mine so no need to go fetch him out of the prison."
Siegrain said nodding.
The projections of the old men, then, disappeared.
Siegrain then turned around and headed out into a dark hall in silence.
. . .
As Daniel was bored, he decided to scroll through the [Unlimited Fantasy Shop]. As he was scrolling he discovered tons of weird and awesome things. At the bottom of the tabs, there was a search bar for convenience, but Daniel didn't focus on that. What he did focus on however, was the [Bloodlines] tab.
He immediately clicked on the tab and scrolled through the bloodlines, practically drooling.
[Dragon Ball Bloodlines]
[Bleach Bloodlines]
[One Piece Bloodlines]
[Naruto Bloodlines]
[DC Bloodlines]
[Marvel Bloodlines]
[Wuxia Bloodlines]
[Xiatian Bloodlines]
[....]
[...]
The list went on and on and on. Daniel didn't know where to start. 'Hmmm, since I loved Bleach quite a while back, I am tempted to see what it has buuut… I know that Dragon Ball has the possibly the strongest bloodlines so I will pick that. The One Punch Man Bloodline exists but there is no way in hell I can even think of buying that right now.'
With that, he clicked on [Dragon Ball Bloodlines] and nearly cursed out loud seeing the prices.
[Legendary Super Saiyan] - 500 million Quest Points
[Saiyan Bloodline] - 100 Million Quest Points
[Frieza Bloodline] - 50 million Quest Points (Host can choose for body structure not to be affected.)
[Namekian Bloodline] - 45 million Quest Points (Host can choose for body structure not to be affected.)
'WHAT THE F*CK!? Is this a scam!? System, tell me this is a joke! For a regular Saiyan Bloodline to cost 100 mil is just…'
[...]
*Sigh...*
Daniel just waved his hand and the System's Interface disappeared. He, then, fell back on the bed and looked at the ceiling in silence.
'Well…. My journey is just beginning….I can't stay here forever. I will eventually venture through many other different Worlds.'
Daniel extended his hand towards the ceiling and clenched it.
'I will reach the apex and I will be able to have accomplished many things! But….what then? What is at the other side after I accomplish my goal of adventuring through the endless Worlds. Through this Unlimited Fantasy that I am going through? Will I truly feel satisfied? Will I feel accomplished?'
Daniel suddenly started to feel a bit depressed. So many opportunities lay in front of him but he felt scared. What if it really wasn't Unlimited? What if there was an end? These thoughts have always been on many in Daniel's previous life. "Where will life take me?" "How will my future be like?" "When I am in my last breath, will I feel as if my life goals were fulfilled? Or Will I instead feel more regrets from the past?"
The more Daniel thought about it, the more depressed he got. Daniel felt himself being pulled into a whirlpool full of deep and depressing thoughts. He suddenly remembered this one song that he listened to in the past whenever he had similar thoughts.
Daniel took out his Iphone X and Beats.
He went to his Spotify and clicked a song titled 'Something Better' and put on his Beats.
[Now Playing : Something Better - By : Audien and Lady Antebellum.]
[Passive Skill :
Musical Inspiration III : No, this does not mean you get inspired on writing a song. Instead, depending on the mood of the Host, which is affected by the song or music he's heard, Host will gain a sort of Semi-Passive Skill. Once Song Ends the Semi-Passive Effects will be gone after 3 Minutes.]
[Semi-Passive Skill Activated : Something Better - User/Host will receive x4 Will, x3 Intelligence]
Daniel could feel himself slowly blending with the song. The lyrics connecting with his thoughts.
Something Better is the happiness that none of us have found. No matter how good life gets, we always need more. It's not that we're selfish... just unsatisfied and still a little bit hollow. And that's why we cross oceans and climb walls, looking for the best thing. Somehow we know we'll recognize it, even if we don't know what it will look like.
'All I have to do is keep going. I will not wait for my happiness to be found…. I will look for it myself, I won't wait for it to happen, I will make my own future, and in the meanwhile I look for that dream, for whatever happiness or other stuff the future holds for me, I will learn to enjoy every minute of my life. Be happy now. Every minute will be enjoyed and savored.'
On this day Daniel promised himself to not fall into the deep whirlpool of What will my future hold? or Will I have accomplish everything in life? No he will continue treading forward with complete determination.
