Primordial Soul's Rebirth

"Where I get these things, huh….."

One month ago, Alex had bought some blood drops from his system shop that could grant Alice and Ann a bloodline.

He wanted them to grow strong and fast but there were not many things he could do to make them stronger faster other than giving them a higher bloodline.

So, he did just that and bought two bloodlines that suited best for Alice and Ann.

But then Alice and Ann asked where he got the bloodlines, he didn't like lying, and looking at Alice and Ann's expression he could tell that they wanted some kind of answer.

But then his problem was solved by Sophia...

[You can just make them swear an oath and the system will do the rest.]

'Elaborate,' Alex spoke inwardly while he had a contemplating expression mixed with hesitation on the outside.

He wanted to show them that this was a hard decision for him, although it wasn't.

He was never scared of revealing his information, he just didn't like his cards being exposed. What was the worst that could happen if his abilities were exposed?

There will be people who would want to capture him or kill him, and Alex never hated that kind of people as they would be giving him another stream of free System points.

But it was fine if the people in question were his close ones, after all, one needs people they could trust and tell their secrets to, and Alex knew that Alice and Ann had somehow occupied the place of important people in his mind.

[The system has a function that helps it stay hidden, it was a function made by you before.

All one needs to do is take an oath, or just say that they won't disclose the information to anyone, and the system will detect it.

After that, if they ever mention the system to anyone without your permission, they won't be able to recall anything like they never knew about it.

Any memory related to the system will be locked in their memory and that lock can only be unlocked with your permission.]

'I see,' Alex spoke and then looked into Alice and Ann's eyes one by one.

It was not hard to understand the meaning of what Sophia said and Alex's expression of hesitation was now replaced with determination as he spoke.

"I will tell you guys where I get these items, but you will have to promise me that you won't be disclosing it to anyone."

Alex looked at Alice and Ann, but before they created some kind of conclusion on their own, he spoke up again.

"It's not that I don't trust you guys, it's something I have to do as I don't want you guys to get in harm's way just because you know this information.

Just by making an oath/promise you guys can stay safe from trouble, I can assure that to you guys."

Listening to Alex's words both Alice and Ann smiled inwardly, for a second they thought that Alex didn't trust them enough.

They exchanged a look and then they spoke together.

"I swear that I won't be speaking about it to anyone." X2

Alice and Ann spoke together.

[Done.]

'Okay.'

Alex just smiled as it was easier than he had expected.

"So? What is it?" Alice asked Alex while Ann also looked at Alex with curiosity.

"It is one of my abilities – System," Alex spoke.

"System?" X2

Alice and Ann exchanged a confused look and then turned toward Alex for an answer.

"Yes, System, that's where I get all of this from."

Alex stated.

"So does this skill make these items for free? No, right?"

Ann asked as she knew that nothing is free, even the normal abilities require mana, not to mention an ability that literally creates things from nothing. (Ann's thinking)

"No, it's not for free, I have to hunt living creatures to get those things," Alex spoke with a serious face.

Both Alice and Ann were shocked for a second when they heard the words 'hunt' and 'Living creatures' together.

"You had to kill humans to get these items...…?" Alice asked with some hesitation.

No one here was a saint and all of them had killed humans, but that didn't mean they would kill people without a reason.

"No, I got those items from killing the monsters inside of the gate," Alex spoke and both Alice and Ann sighed in relief but then Alex continued.

-exclusive

"But I can get these things by killing humans as well."

Alice and Ann didn't know what to say but Alice asked after a while.

"How many….?"

"Don't know, but they were the assassins sent after me," Alex spoke with a shrug.

Alice and Ann relaxed after they heard the answer.

Now that they were sure that Alex was not some kind of serial killer running around, Ann asked a question that had been bugging her.

"So, how does it work actually? Like I get that you have to kill living creatures, but what about the items you get are random, or you can select?"

"Think of it like a shop, the creatures I kill give me a certain amount of points and those points could be exchanged to buy things from the said shop.

So, I can select which item I want to buy from that shop."

Alex explained to Ann and Alice.

"I see," Ann spoke but then as if remembering something she asked again.

"What kind of items does this ability of yours have in store?"

"I don't know the limit of the shop but for now I found everything I could think of inside it….."

Alex answered as he really didn't know what was the limit of the system, neither was he able to look through everything in the system shop as there were just too many things to count.

"How much point did this cost?" Alice suddenly asked as she raised the glass tube with intricate designs over it and yellow liquid inside of it which she was holding in her hand.

This caused Ann to look at the tube in hand as well, it was also a tube with a similar design as that of Alice's but the liquid inside it was colorless.

They were the blood essences Alex had given them, these blood essences were the core of a bloodline, and if ingested, they would provide the one who ingested it with the bloodline they were the essence of.

"Well, I'm out of 'points' now," Alex said while rubbing the back of his head.

Alice and Ann widened their eyes as they heard it.

They didn't know how much it would've cost Alex, but they knew it was not a small amount if Alex had to empty his points for it, and somehow the weight of the tubes increased many folds for them.

"Don't worry, I will just recover those points by raiding more gates and killing more monsters."

Alex said with a smile, but it didn't have much effect on Alice and Ann as they still felt that they were taking Alex's help a bit too much.

"Just don't let my efforts go to waste if you still don't feel good about it," Alex commented as he could feel Alice and Ann's mood.

It was not a big deal for him, he could just gather those points again, but it looked like Alice and Ann were taking it too seriously.

"Un." X2

Looking at both Alice and Ann nodding with a serious and determined expression, Alex knew that his words had done their job.

So, he just smiled and then continued to explain to them what to do with the blood essence.

.....................…

(Back to present)

The Crimson Lotus guild's raiders were jogging through the forest while also killing the beasts that got in their way.

They just wished that they didn't face any problems and cleared the gate easily.

How good it would be if they could just clear the gate just like that? Right? Right....?

"RRAAAAAWWWWWWRRRRRRR"

Guess their wish wasn't coming true anytime soon.
