Chapter 2

'Hmm, looks like there are a lot of things I need to know.'

'Why does my status show Level 0 something like in an RPG?'

"System, what is that level indicate?"

[Since the host body has ingested the water of oblivion, he can't use Aura or Mana but the system has given the host a new way. You can increase your stats as you level up. By this you can match them in strength though you can't use the supernatural power.]

[After you reach level 30, you can say the stats are the same as a 1-Star Knight. The 2-Star power won't be at level 60 but at level 75. As the stars increase so do the levels required. As you go higher, there would be an increase of 5 levels to reach a sub-level of the star. So for every star reached, additional 15 levels are required to reach the next star.]

[Though it seems that it is too much to level up, so is for others when they try to power up. Here you get the help of me, while they don't.]

"How do I level up?"

[You can gain experience when you kill a being that has the Essence of the world awakened. Killing common type beings doesn't give you anything.]

'So I can gain strength by hunting monsters that roam this world. This is like a trial of strength. I get the rewards for defeating my opponent. The rewards are becoming stronger and able to live longer.'

'Now speaking of water of oblivion, it looks like the previous one had Light and Darkness Affinity. From what remember these elements are rarest of all and to have both makes him Heaven's Child.'

'Too bad, such a gift was ruined by the water of oblivion.'

'Hmm, can it be done?'

"System, Is there a way to get rid of the effects of water of oblivion?"

[Yes host there is, but the host doesn't have the strength to withstand the side effects nor the power to get the cure. So I implore the host to get stronger first.]

'OK, for now, I had to scrap the idea to get rid of that until I get strong enough.'

'Meanwhile, there seemed something that's called Bloodline and Bloodline Powers. I think I have an idea but need to be sure about exactly what they are?'

"System, can you tell me about Bloodline?"

[As can concur from the name itself, it tells if you have any powerful bloodline in you and if there is what powers you have.]

"Why don't I have a bloodline?"

[Host, when you were banished and exiled your father's bloodline was removed from you. Your mother was a commoner who didn't have any bloodline. So the host doesn't possess any as of now.]

"As for now, that means can I get a bloodline?"

[Yes host. There are ways to obtain one. You can create your bloodline or get someone else bloodline. I advise the host to create one as it will be his own instead of acquiring from some else.]

"Wait, I can create my own?"

[Yes, as long as you become powerful and acknowledged, you can. It depends on what path you would take as that creates your bloodline powers.]

"Powers? As in more than one."

[Yes, a bloodline may have more than one power. The powers that would be obtained would be determined when the bloodline was created. The descendants can awaken only from them. They can get only one or all of these powers.]

'So that's how it is. The question that remains is should I create my own or get one.'

'Hmm, from the name of the system, I can guess where my path leads to. Even if I don't want to be in the forefront, I would certainly end there.'

'I guess creating one for myself would be the best way to stand at the top. I get to have my bloodline and its powers.'

'So, if they all depend on my path to greatness, I need to properly do my ascension.'

"System, What is an Origin Skill? and it seems mine is Moon's Blessing. Can you tell me about it?"

[Host, an Origin Skill is nothing but a Unique Skill that was awarded to the person who awakened. Not everyone can have an origin skill. As you can understand that a unique skill is given to a single person at the moment, which means as long as you are alive, no one can get this skill.]

[Regarding your skill, I can only give you a hint. From the name itself you can deduct it has something to do with the Moon. So I advise you to experiment under a moon.]

'So that's what an Origin Skill is, but why doesn't the system don't want to elaborate on the use of the skill?'

'Whatever, I should try different things when there the moon is visible, and soon I would discover the secrets of my skill.'

'For now, I have to get out of here and start increasing my power.'

'How should I?'

'Ah, I do have a Basic Sword and Basic Sword Art from my newbie package in my inventory. Wait I have Inventory. Can I store things?"

[Only system-issued rewards are stored inside until you retrieve them.]

'Only System issued...'

"Wait, can you read my mind?"

[Indeed I can. I am now one with the host, so I can read the mind, though only the outer thoughts. So it doesn't always work.]

"Why didn't you do that earlier?", Alex Sighs, "Forget about it."

"Is there a way I can store things?"

[You can store normally or use spatial storage devices that you can buy, though they are rare and not easily available everywhere.]

"They are rare. Are they that difficult to obtain?"

[A spatial device can be created by a Space Mage or someone who is a 6-star Rune-master. Space mages are rarer than Light or Dark Mages and achieving the rank of 6-star rune-master is no easy feat.]

'Forget about that for now. I need to become stronger first. It would be a burden though to carry things along.'

[Ding!]
