Chapter 11: Lineage

Cain woke up the next day and immediately noticed that something had changed. A surging strength ran through his body, and some of his senses worked exceptionally well.

The youth went to his bathroom and was shocked by the picture in the mirror. He was five centimeters taller, had larger muscles, and his eyes turned blue.

“Your ugly face won’t change no matter how much you look at it.”

Apex’s voice woke Cain up. He took a deep breath and called for the system with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

Since he had awoken a bloodline, his Wave Talent should have changed. As for how much it did, that was the mystery he was about to solve.

“System, scan!”

Wave Talent: Low Tier 4

Stats: 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

Strength: 0.04

Agility: 0.06

Vitality: 0.06

Wave: O.0]

Cain could not help but tremble as he saw the change in his Wave Talent. Jonathan could bully him due to having a Peak Tier 3 Wave Talent, but now he was superior.

He even saw how his stats had improved, with his vitality that used to be the lowest, reaching a shocking level.

After taking a moment to calm himself, Cain noticed how his Lineage had changed from human to Lightning Lupus, which drew some confusion.

Initially, the youth had not given too much importance to the Lineage section, but it seemed that would be a mistake.

“Apex, can you explain to me what a Lineage is?”

Like always, when it came to something related to the system, Apex did not slack off and gave Cain an accurate description.

“Lineages are unique constitutions. One can obtain them in different forms, the most common through a bloodline. Technically, all bloodlines are Lineages, but not all Lineages are bloodlines.”

While the description was not long, it solved Cain’s doubts. Before, he was a pure-blooded human, but thanks to [Basic Genetic Stimulation], he awakened a bloodline and obtained a Lineage.

“As for the Lightning Lupus Lineage. According to the Empire Science Academy’s records, it is a mighty one, but also tagged as flawed.”

Cain grew worried when he heard that last part. A flawed bloodline was not a small matter, as it essentially meant there was a flaw in his body.

Luckily for the youth, Apex did not make him wait and explain what he meant by flawed.

“A bloodline can be considered flawed for many reasons, but yours fell in that category because it has an emotional instability. There will be times when your emotions go out of control, and whether or not you can control yourself will depend on your willpower.”

Although emotional instability was dangerous, it was not that bad. Cain was more than willing to accept that defect in exchange for such a fantastic Wave Talent. Not to mention that he still had the [Genetic Coder Module], which might help him fix that.

“Anyway, now that you have fixed your Wave Talent, you should focus on training. According to the information I have recollected, it won’t be long before you have to go to the Imperial Military Academy.”

Apex’s words reminded Cain of something very important, his military service. All members of the Godslayer Humankind must spend one year of military service in the Imperial Military Academy, except those entering a Wave University.

Sending fourteen-year-old boys to military service would have caused an uproar in the Old World, but no one found it odd in the Godslayer Humankind Empire. They were in perpetual war, so the culture made everybody strive to become stronger.

“I have two months before embarking on the Imperial Military Academy. I need to take advantage of every second.”

Cain was eager to train and test his Wave Talent, but Apex stopped him.

“Wait a moment. Since you have awakened a lineage, instead of embarking on the Essence Evolution Path of Power, you should consider taking the Astral Rebirth Path of Power.”

Cain was utterly oblivious to the term Astral Rebirth Path of Power mentioned by Apex, something the System Spirit knew.

“Usually, most commoners have no actual knowledge about the Astral Rebirth Path other than knowing of its existence, so you should not feel bad for not knowing what I am saying.

I am about to share what I obtained from hacking the Empire Science Academy, but there is no need to worry. It is basic information that anyone in a Wave University would learn, so there is no problem if people know you have it.” Apex gave Cain a moment to process his words, and after seeing that the youth was focused, he carried on.

“As you already know, Wave Cultivation consists in drawing the Wave, which finds itself as Life Wave in the environment into our bodies and using the Sacred Organ that is the Evolution Core, to transform it into Essence Wave.

That is the Essence Evolution Path of Power. The most common for humanity and the one everybody has access to.

Those that have a Lineage have also awakened their Rebirth Hearts. That is the second Sacred Organ of the Godslayer Humankind and the one that allows you to transform Life Wave into Astral Wave. Of course, I am talking about the Astral Rebirth Path of Power.

Unlike the Essence Evolution Path of Power, which focused on controlling elements, the Astral Rebirth Path of Power takes the body as its core. Both are strong, but the Empire Science Academy accepted that the second is more powerful.

Of course, the Astral Rebirth Path of Power is also more challenging, and the resources you will need in the future will be much greater than those in the Essence Evolution Path of Power. So, you need to consider what path you want with caution.”

Cain’s expression showed how much importance he gave his next decision. Still, it did not take long for him to make a decision.

He sat down and used the Soldier Cultivation Technique to draw Life Wave into his body. However, instead of sending it into his Evolution Core, he sent it to the Rebirth Heart.

Since when did hard work ever scare Cain Laurifer!
