¡¡¡¡¡Check out my second book! Villain: Herald of Shadows!!!! ****** Shrouded in a veil of mystery and darkness, a sinister threat lurks among the shadows, weaving its plan from the depths of a forgotten past. The emergence of this voracious darkness threatens to devour everything in its path, and as Anthony embarks on a desperate quest for truth, he faces moral dilemmas, betrayals he never imagined, and sacrifices that defy all logic. On his journey, every shadow seems to hide a secret, every step toward the light reveals a new layer of darkness. Who is friend and who is foe in this dangerous game between light and darkness? What ancient forces stir beneath the surface, waiting for their moment to emerge and ravage everything in their path? With each discovery, Anthony delves deeper into a labyrinth of intrigue and danger, where the very future of his world hangs by a thread, and the only certainty is that truth is even more elusive than the shadows that conceal it.
When one thinks of a system, it brings to mind invaluable aid for a transmigrator or some kind of trap, depending on one's mindset.
"Status," I murmured expectantly for my own information. The screen that appeared in front of me was blue and displayed:
[Name: Anthony Von Valeriano]
[Age: 17 years]
[Species: Human (????????)]
[Rank: Bronze Peak]
[Strength: F]
[Dexterity: F]
[Intelligence: F+]
[Speed: F]
[Endurance: F]
[Potential: Untapped]
[Bloodline: Dragon of the ??????-Sealed]
[Appearance: Sealed]
[Physique: Sealed]
[Legacy: Unknown]
[Ability: Sword (beginner), Magic (beginner)]
[True name: Unknown]
[Comment: You're weaker than crap, how the hell are you still alive?]
Looking at my own stats, I sighed disappointedly. Though I expected to feel weak, I didn't think it would be this much. I have a lot of work to do, but there's something bothering me.
"System."
"What do the question marks in my species and bloodline mean?"
[Ding! The question marks represent information that the system has hidden due to the protagonist's power.]
[It is recommended that the host becomes stronger to unlock the bloodline and evolve their species.]
Basically, I'm too weak to know what they are. I frowned, a bit annoyed, but I can understand it.
"System, what do 'appearance' and 'legacy' mean?"
[Ding! Appearance is revealed as the unique ability of each person in this world, and the legacy is what the bloodline leaves once unlocked.]
Hmm, thinking about the words, appearance is what makes each person different, and the legacy is more about enhancing the bloodline, which in my case is a dragon.
"System, do you have any idea how the old Anthony died?"
This question has been on my mind since the moment I possessed his body and I couldn't find a logical reason. In the novel, he's not supposed to die until halfway through the story.
[Ding! The reason for the death of the previous body possessor is due to interference from the creator of this world, also known as God.]
I was stunned.
"But why don't I understand it?"
[Ding! God wanted a different story for Anthony because that talent couldn't be wasted on an idiot who didn't appreciate it.]
"Wow, quite direct, huh?"
It's a bit scary to think he killed old Anthony just to see a different ending. I hope that doesn't mean the main cast can't win the second war. Thinking he could be watching me right now is frightening. But since I can't do anything about it, I shouldn't worry, as long as he leaves me alone.
I couldn't help but sympathize with Anthony, even though he was stupid and arrogant; he just wanted acceptance from his family, but he never received it because of his prodigy sister. Plus, his death saddened me a lot.
"System, what rank should I have to unlock my bloodline?"
[Ring! The host must be at the maximum gold rank to unlock the bloodline.]
"Not bad, I thought it would be higher."
The reason I'm not upset is that, in any case, reaching gold this year was my goal to be on par with the main cast and be able to defend myself, of course.
"System, what's the simplest method to rank up?"
[Ring! It is recommended that the host kills low-level monsters.]
"Hmm, the good thing, I guess, is that I'm in the duchy where there are the most monsters and dungeons."
"What do you mean by system lifetime?" this question made me very curious.
[Ring! No information, access denied]
I frowned, I had a minimal idea of what it could mean, but I'm not sure.
Remembering that I need to kill creatures, something comes to mind.
The rank of monsters was very different from that of other races, namely: monster, beast, demon, titan, fallen, corrupt, ancient, primordial. The sovereign monster rank was special, unique in its species, being a primordial variant. For this reason, it was the strongest and most dangerous among all the others, hence it was considered the king among them.
