Novel Full 57 The Immortal Sovereign's Inheritance
[Massive thank you to Renni92 for the spacecraft. Here is the first of the 4 chapters]
—————————————————————
[You have been deemed a worthy successor]
[Would you like to receive the Human race’s inheritance?]
[Yes] [No]
“Yes yes yes yes yes!” I shouted aloud on accident, yet it did not seem to gain a reaction from the pair of hands in front of me.
“Good luck in your path. It will be filled with blood and destruction, but with this inheritance, you shall stand at the top no matter what. As long as you strive for something, the universe shall grant it. That is the fate of an endling. That is the fate of the first immortal.”
As those words resounded within my ears, I could not help but feel a strange sense of patriotism. It wasn’t patriotism for a country or empire, nor was it a patriotism for Earth and everything it stood for.
This patriotism that grew in me represented my humanity. A feeling that would make me feel like I would fight against the universe for my people. The people who had deemed me worthy and had chosen me to become their final anchor in this world.
“I won’t let you down.” A flare of determination lit up within my eyes as I looked forward with a clenched fist, vowing to myself that I would never break that promise.-.
‘And I hope that I meet you guys again… Mom, Dad, Emily, Alex… And you too, Crystal.’
I closed my eyes and finally found myself entering a world of pain.
The sounds of the howling winds finally entered my ears while the mana and energy from the palms slowly reconstructed my body, alongside the power of the immortality token that I could only begrudgingly accept being taken away from me.
However, before I could think any further and fall into the cycle of grief and pain over remembering all the things that I had lost once again, I felt the pain intensify as the remaining bones, tendons and tissues reconstructed, leaving my body to look almost brand new.
[You have accepted Humanity’s inheritance]
[This is a unique inheritance]
[The system has recognized your achievement]
[You have automatically accepted and gained the ‘Immortal Sovereign’s Inheritance’]
[This is a unique inheritance]
“Looks like I didn’t even have a choi-the…” Accidentally biting down on my tongue, I felt as if this ‘new’ body would be a curse for quite a while, or at least for as long as it would take me to learn how to use it properly again.
‘Hey, appraisal?’ I asked, complying to only using my thoughts to communicate with the system rather than speaking aloud.
‘What is a unique inheritance?’ I asked
[Unique tier: This tier’s definition is broad. It could mean that you are the only person with this power or item in history. it could mean that no one can have this item or power at the same time as you, making you the sole owner, or it could mean that this is a special ability that has been created by you or solely for you, passable to only those you desire to bless with this skill, technique, item or power.]
“Hmm?” I scratched my chin in contemplation.
‘So then, are my inheritances solely mine, passed on from someone or-‘ Before I could finish my question, I was interrupted by the sudden appearance of another screen with a few words on it.
[Humanity’s Inheritance: An Inheritance created by humanity and passed on to bless its final anchor.]
[Immortal Sovereign’s Inheritance: An Inheritance created by the system solely for the use of the entity Ezra —–. This inheritance can only be passed on to other possibly existing immortals, or to direct blood-related relatives]
‘Why is my surname blanked out? It should say… It should say…’ I paused with an agape and shocked expression as my eyes started forwards at the red screen with white letters.
It was only then that I felt my feet touch the ground, before seemingly losing my balance almost immediately and nearly falling face-first into the ground below. Surprisingly, however, I found myself regaining my balance and staying upright, refusing to fall and leaving myself slightly wobbly.
However, while that might have been one of my concerns at that moment, it was far from my primary concern.
‘Why can’t I remember my name?!’ I inwardly screamed in panic.
I was so panicked at that moment in time that I hadn’t realized that the crimson cyclone was beginning to slow down, as well as the thick dark clouds that had formed for the sole purpose of raining down a dark red liquid while shooting crimson lightning bolts now and then.
‘Appraisal! Surname!’
[You do not have a surname]
‘Why!?’
[You have not assigned yourself one]
‘Alright, then why the hell can’t I remember what my surname was?!’
[The system had intervened and had seen it more beneficial if you leave your mortal name behind.]
‘Why!?’
[That is for you to find out]
‘Wha… What!?’
[Some things are better unsaid]
‘That’s not how you use the quote…’ Taking in a deep breath, I massaged the bridge of my nose in annoyance while my eyebrows and corner of my mouth could be seen twitching every few seconds as if they were trying to hold back something from being released.
It was only then that I realized that the mana around me was becoming thinner by the second, while at the same time the blood energy within me as well as the earth mana began to become more and more enriched with energy.
I could feel an enormous amount of power circulate through my body, making every single muscle feel robust and brand new, which it technically was.
‘I feel so powerful. Is that what awakening is? The power to wield mana? But I was able to wield mana before so what’s the difference?’
[You have successfully awakened your mana]
[Humanity’s inheritance had caused an imbalance]
[Immortality inheritance had caused an imbalance]
[Due to the use of an immortality token, your evolver trait has activated]
[Human bloodline awakened…]
[You have evolved into a True Human]
[You have evolved into a True Awakened human]
[Dormant bloodline is trembling within you]
[The dormant Abomination bloodline is threatening to awaken]
[The abomination bloodline has been consumed by the True Awakened Human bloodline]
[Congratulations!]
[You have completed the achievement:
-Awaken a Primordial Bloodline-]
