Birth Of The Noir Lineage

After everything was settled, Gabimaru and Ganz were shrouded by the villagers. Ganz felt disturbed and arrogantly told them off, but the villagers insisted and gave him food to eat.

Ganz' eyes shimmered after seeing such delicacy in front of him. "Well, you have my gratitude, humans." He said and started eating the food they'd handed him.

Meanwhile, Gabimaru observed the humans who were nonchalantly bothering him.

"So she's the wife of Klaus?" He murmured to himself.

But System, why do they have two names?" Gabimaru asked through thought communication.

[Notice: The first one is their given name, and the latter is their surname.]

[Some are capable of being granted surnames through being betrothed to individuals affiliated with the nobility.]

[Commoners do not possess surnames.]

So does that mean that these people were nobles back before they were exiled?"

[Answer: Yes, they are still nobles by blood, lineage, and marriage. But in their current state, they can be stated as "fallen nobles."]

I see... But I also want a surname! Can't I get one? I'm more noble than these pesky mortals anyway!" Gabimaru demanded, frowning furiously.

[Notice: You can acquire surnames through bond. But you have already passed the required conditions for it. So do you want me to give you a surname?]

[Y/N]

Ehhh...? Why can't I decide on my own?"

[....]

Fine! Just give me something cool!" He stated, Forced to trust the system to give him a cool surname.

[Surname sequence has begun.]

[Through lineage passed by God, the Omniscient System has been bonded to the individual: Gabimaru through candidacy.]

[Therefore, the Omniscient System is granted the authority to give the bonded individual a surname.]

[Deciding Surname....]

Why is it taking so long?" Gabimaru wondered while ignoring the people around him who kept asking different questions.

[Surname has been concluded.]

[Individual Gabimaru has now acquired a surname.]

[The birth of the Noir lineage has been added to the family tree.]

[The world has acknowledged the Noir lineage.]

[The surname has been granted.]

"Finally!" Gabimaru yelled all of a sudden, which surprised the people around him.

"Oh.." He muttered, looking at the people around him who wore surprised expressions.

"Please leave me alone, humans; I still have things to do." He stated, Ordering the people to leave him be.

The villagers then nodded and went on their way after seeing Gabimaru's cold gaze.

Meanwhile, Gabimaru stared at his status window with satisfaction. Now I have a surname! Kyahaha!" He mumbled in his head.

I also gained passive skills... pain nullification and high-tier resistance."

[Pain Nullification: Can automatically nullify any pain that has been dealt towards the individual: Gabimaru]

[High-tier Resistance: An automatic skill that grants the individual: Gabimaru high tolerance over all attributes, including spiritual attacks]

[Notice: It is thanks to my greatness.]

Yeah, Yeah! You are truly great." Gabimaru responded and smiled.

[Notice: Would you also like to add Ganz as a member of the Noir lineage?]

[Y/N]

Is it possible..? I guess, Yeah.. I mean sure. Yes add him." He responded, looking at Ganz, who was annoyed by the people who pestered him.

Well, he was just leisurely eating earlier, and now he's back in his annoyed state?" Gabimaru wondered.

[Individual Ganz has been successfully added to the Noir lineage.]

Ganz felt a loud pound from his chest that startled him entirely. He noticed his body glowing a bit black and immediately searched for Gabimaru. After noticing him, he saw Gabimaru's smiling face and gave him a thumbs-up.

Ganz immediately opened his status window and noticed he had finally obtained a surname.

Since he was added to the Noir lineage, his mana energy increased and he obtained the skill Shadow step.

[Level: 170]

Without wasting any moment, Ganz immediately bowed in front of Gabimaru and said, "I will forever be grateful for adding me to your lineage, boss!" He stated, "While taking a knee with his head down.

"You may rise." Gabimaru said, he felt glad that Ganz did not complain about his sudden actions on adding him without his opinion.

Ganz then stood up and uttered loudly, "Boss, I've obtained a new skill called Shadow Step!" Wearing an expression of excitement.

"Wow, that's nice. Try it out immediately!" Gabimaru replied excitingly, while the people around them stared at them, confused if they were actually powerful beings or just some random carefree kids.

Ganz then nodded, concentrated, and stared intensely at the people gathered around, which made them suddenly flinch upon seeing Ganz' cold stare.

Just as they were about to step back, Ganz fell into his own shadow and appeared behind one of the villager's shadows in an instant.

"Kyaaah! That's so cool!" Gabimaru yelled, amused by Ganz's new skill that could somehow teleport him through other individuals' shadows.

Ganz continuously used it and could teleport himself to every shadow that was seen throughout the village. Even the tree's shadows were applicable to his new skill.

Ganz then teleported himself in front of Gabimaru and prostrated continuously at Gabimaru.

"Thanks to you boss, I've obtained an awesome skill!" He praised Gabimaru, thankful for the skill he received.

While Gabimaru arrogantly nodded with his hands placed on his waist.

The villagers were dumbfounded by the scenery they were witnessing.

Then all of a sudden, Amina showed up. That caught Gabimaru's attention.

Ganz glanced at her and noticed her as well.

Amina slowly walked towards them and said, "If it's okay with you two, please eat at our house. My mother and I have prepared food for you guys to eat." She offered, bowing her head slightly.

Gabimaru stared intently at Amina while the system analyzed her.

[Individual Amina has the potential to acquire the skills of a water elementalist.]

Wow, isn't she a prodigy at this rate? If she somehow becomes an elementalist?" Gabimaru said through thought communication.

[Answer: Yes, but conditions have still not been met.]

I see..."

"Umm..." Amina mumbled.

"Yes, we will go to your place and accept your offer." Gabimaru said, showing hints of gratitude.

"Then let me escort you to our house... Umm..?" She spoke and paused, shy to ask for Gabimaru's name.

"You can call me Gabimaru, and this right here is Ganz." Gabimaru stated, Introducing themselves to Amina.

"Yes! Sir Gabimaru and Sir Ganz, please follow me." She said and turned around.

Gabimaru and Ganz then slowly followed her from behind as she led them to their house.

But just as they were about to enter Amina's house, a loud scream was heard, echoing throughout the village.

Gabimaru and Ganz immediately looked in the direction where the voice came from.

[Warning: Approximately 50 werewolves and 1 wolf king are approaching the village]

Wolf king..?" Gabimaru mumbled in his head.

Meanwhile, at the borders of the village near the forest's vicinity.

A young man was running, Completely horrified and was screaming nonstop, Shouting for help.

And behind him lurked several werewolves and a huge wolf king that had the same body structure as a werewolf but was completely bigger and different.

Its black fur was as sharp as a blade, and its canine fangs were ten inches long. Its eyes gleamed red as it stared at the young man who kept on running.

The wolf king growled loudly and ordered his werewolves to chase after their prey.

Thus the werewolves hurriedly ran like hungry predators, chasing after the young man who kept begging for help.

Chapter End.
