12. My Cute Little Sister 2.
Orion knew his sister was scared so he didn't want her to ponder too much on negative thoughts, so he tried his best to assure her, and strangely enough, Mia felt a bit relieved by his words.
She also noticed the way he addressed her just now, and she couldn't help herself from giggling and smiling at it.
"You called me your little princess. It's been a long time since you called me that."
Orion smiled and replied. "I'll always call you my cute little princess so look forward to that."
Her smile broadened even more but she noticed her brother had changed a lot.
The Orion she knew was always sitting in his room with a gloomy air around him, but today, he had smiled more than she had ever seen him do before, and she really liked this new side of him.
Her favorite brother also seemed to be a lot more dependable, and she loved this new side of him, but she decided to conclude that maybe his sudden change might have stemmed from his desire to see her again after noticing how she spent weeks in her bedroom, feeling sick.
She could see that he had missed her a lot while hoping that she would once again play with him in his room and she was glad he visited her tonight.
"Thank you," she muttered loud enough for Orion to hear and he replied.
"You're welcome."
He kissed her forehead before pulling his head back, but this allowed Mia to notice a vivid change that had occurred to him.
"Big brother?"
"Hmm?"
"Your eyes, they're beautiful," Mia noticed his crimson red eyes weren't the usual dull blue eyes she was accustomed to seeing.
She loved this new vibrant color in his eyes but Mia didn't know that this sudden change in his eye color was due to him awakening his dragon bloodline.
"Thanks. I'll be leaving now, I have a few things I want to take care of so I'll be back in the morning to see you again. Try to have some rest, and then we'll talk a lot more in the morning," Mia nodded her head in understanding as she watched Orion slowly leave her bedroom.
Before leaving, Orion suddenly noticed a notification from the system pop up in front of him.
[Congratulations!! You have obtained+10 attribute points.]
[Mia's favorable impression of you has increased by 10%.]
[Mia's overall favorability is now 30%.]
'Huh? Favorability?' He thought to himself with a surprised look on his face.
It was the first time he had seen something like this.
He turned around to check if Mia was okay, but a different notification popped up in front of him again.
[Innate skill (Appraisal) has been activated.]
The moment he read the words in front of him, Orion noticed a separate screen hovering above Mia.

"Big brother? What's wrong?" Mia noticed how Orion was staring at her and she couldn't help but wonder if something was bothering her big brother.
Orion smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing. Goodnight."
"Goodnight," Mia nodded her head in understanding before adjusting her head on her pillow before drifting off to sleep.
Orion walked out of her bedroom and recalled the details of Mia which were displayed on top of her head.
'Those details were definitely the result of my new innate skill 'appraisal',' He concluded as he recalled how he was able to see her details right after his innate skill activated.
The skill not only allowed him to view Mia's name, age, and race, but it also allowed him to view the number of times she had evolved.
Well, since the number of her evolution was zero, it meant she had never undergone an evolution before.
In this world, unlike any other race, humans were the only ones who found it extremely difficult to evolve into more formidable beings.
Other races like elves, dwarves, mermaids, demons, and even monsters had a higher chance of evolving than humans.
Although they had a higher chance of evolving than humans, it was very difficult for them to undergo this evolution.
Only one human had been able to evolve in the human continent, and it was none other than the empress herself.
It remained a mystery if anyone else would evolve like her. Although there was no doubt that the main protagonist of the game would soon evolve and become the second human to ever evolve in the human continent, that was of no concern to him.
Refocusing his mind back on Mia's details, Orion also noticed that Mia's rank was placed in zero order.
This was the standard ranking for those who hadn't awakened their bloodline and mana core.
Since she was still eight years old, Mia would most likely awaken her bloodline and mana core at ten and eighteen years old respectively.
Now, with that out of the way, Orion turned his attention to the strange words that were displayed in her status.
"What's favorability and favorable impression?"
"What do they mean?" He aimed his question at the system.
[<Favourability > This is linked to your attribute points and the impression others have of you. With every increase in your favorability, your attribute point increases as well. Their impression could range from respect to fear, but as long as it favors you, your attribute points will increase.]
[<Attribute points>:- Attribute points are used to increase your current attributes whenever you desire to increase them. They are also the points you obtain immediately after leveling up. You will receive ten attribute points every time you level up.]
"Woah, that's amazing,"
"So, it means I can gain new attribute points from those I care about and those who are considered my enemies?"
[Yes, the more hatred and fear a target has towards you, the more attribute points you will gain.]
"That's fucking awesome," Orion couldn't contain the overwhelming feeling of excitement in him.
He also couldn't wait to see the result of enraging a bunch of nobles before changing their anger into fear.
The future was certainly going to be exciting from now on.
