Chapter 417 - 417 Bloodline
"...Harpy Bloodline." Our bored gamer said towards his long time system.
Although the harpy seemed to have the weakest abilities amongst the 3 picks but Clark put more emphasis on making his identity unknown in order to satisfy the restrictions set by the Heavenly Treasure Clay Brick.
"This choice will determine your future evolution, host."
"Are you sure that you want to pick the Harpy Bloodline?" The system asked.
"I am sure, Nancy. Please grant me the bloodline of a Harpy." Clark replied. Since his mind was already made up then there was only one way to go and that was ever forward.
"Affirmative, host." Nancy said and asked no more. After that, our bored gamer felt a series of changes on his fat body.
"Hmmm..." Clark could not help but moan a little bit because of the extreme pain that visited his person. It was as if he was melting from the inside out.
If this kind of torment has befallen unto an ordinary mortal then there would be no doubt that he would be screaming in great agony already. But not our avid gamer.
Not someone who has gone to experience all the myriad hells of the Soul Fragmentation Process.
This unnatural change continued until the fat body of our bored gamer and his size shrunk to a mere 3 feet in length.
It was at that moment that the drastic transformation stopped completely.
"It is as bad as i expected it to be." Clark smiled and the gruesome face he made would have scared the living daylights of any unsuspecting human.
"Even my voice was altered. Hehehe." Our bored gamer laughed and the same ugly female voice accompanied his mirth.
He looked down and saw a grotesque bosom hanging on his chest. Or her chest right now. One should know that there was no male harpy ever.
This truth remained the same in our avid gamer\'s case of course.
"I look like a hundred year old slut with wings." Clark\'s amusement continued further as he inspected his black wings and sharp claws.
"I even smell so bad. Tsk. Tsk." He added to note when he smelled the rotten egg stench that oozed from his transformed body.
"I guess my fat body is better than this harpy monster after all." Clark ended his review and turned back once more to his human physique with just a single thought.
And what welcomed him was his destroyed school uniform that got wasted because of his monster change. But this little thing never bothered our bored gamer at all.
He was instead more curious about the innate abilities of the Harpy Bloodline that he possessed. All in all, he listed them one by one.
1. Flight – this was natural for a harpy.
2. Enhanced Strength – A harpy could easily overpower a mortal.
3. Pseudo Invulnerability – it can only be killed by burning but remains susceptible to damage.
4. Regeneration – can heal any part of its body.
"At least I won\'t die that easily using this monster body." Clark nodded in satisfaction as he detected the natural gifts of becoming a true harpy.
He remained laying down on his bed while he thought of further complications along the way.
There was no question that he could not remain hiding in this rat cage. It would be too weird and people would eventually notice.
"So i need to keep on going to school and maybe find a part time job or something."
"This would be unsafe if I get caught unaware of the dangers that lurk around me." Clark muttered softly.
"Can anyone detect the Harpy Bloodline in my veins, Nancy?" He asked in order to verify his suspicions.
Clark knew that this was a fantasy world and thus it was obvious that there were many monsters like him in this world.
"Negative, host. The system will shield you from any scrying attempts and you shall only be discovered once you transform into your Harpy Body out there in the open."
The system supplied with this valuable information.
"Nice. Some good news for a change." Clark was pleased to hear this from Nancy. If this perk was not available for him then there was no point in him going out from his little room.
He would get caught and his identity would get revealed as easily as breathing.
"What\'s the matter with this world, Nancy?"
"Why did Caden not have any memory on the supernatural side of Astro?" Clark asked once more.
He wanted to get to know this world better before he launched to face its hidden masters out there in the vast universe.
"The world is a neutral zone for all monsters and experts, host." Nancy replied promptly.
Although she was limited by the clay brick and could not use her natural prowess as an Elder God\'s soul fragment, Nancy still remained to be very valuable towards our good gamer.
Tasks like world introduction and its general knowledge was readily available in the system\'s database. At least this much the clay brick has allowed for Clark\'s advantage.
"A neutral zone, huh? This could be beneficial for me." Our bored gamer was happy to hear this fact.
He could just stay in this world and would sign in everyday in order to accumulate enough power to conquer everything.
"What is the level of cultivation in this fantasy world, Nancy?" Clark queried in order to find out what he was going to face later on.
"Since this is a fantasy world that has countless of mythical beings that exist, there is no certain way to define just one cultivation realm, host.
This world has gods, dao cultivators, elementals, shape shifters, witches and so on.
Hence, the system could only tag the power levels from level 1 as the weakest and level 10 as the strongest." Nancy said.
"Hmmm... This is a chaotic fantasy world then. Intriguing!" Our bored gamer was excited to see these monsters of myth.
Not so much on them cultivators though which he had already spent much of his time encountering.
"This will be fun!"
