Arthur's eyes widened as the shimmering status panel adjusted itself, shifting with a faint pulse of ethereal blue. A new section had appeared beneath Seraphina's talent—a section he had never seen before in anyone else's status.
"Bloodline: Hurricane Kingdom Royal Bloodline (Unsealed)"
"A new category...?" Arthur murmured, more to himself than to the others. His golden eyes narrowed slightly in thought. This was something unprecedented. In all the time he had explored this world—through allies, soldiers, heroes, and enemies alike—he had never seen a single individual whose status displayed a bloodline.
His gaze drifted to Seraphina, who stood nearby with her usual composed elegance, though now her expression was brightened by unrestrained joy. The air around her still hummed with faint winds, as if even nature itself rejoiced at her awakening.
"Seraphina," Arthur called gently, drawing her attention.
"Yes, my lord?" she replied with a smile, her silver-white hair rippling slightly despite the stillness of the vault.
He gestured toward the status screen. "This bloodline… What does it represent? What does it mean?"
For a moment, her eyes widened—surprised, perhaps, that he, of all people, was unaware. Then her expression softened with understanding.
"My lord," she began in a respectful tone, hands folded at her waist, "a bloodline is… everything. It is more than just heritage or ancestry. It is the foundation of one's potential. The strength hidden in one's very soul."
She stepped closer, her voice carrying the gentle grace of a princess and the firmness of one who understood the weight of her words.
"A person's bloodline governs not only their natural talent, but also their path—how fast they can cultivate, how far they can go, the strength and type of their skills, and how their very body reacts to power. It shapes everything—from physical potential to spiritual resilience. Two individuals of the same rank and tier will stand worlds apart if one possesses a high-tier bloodline."
Arthur's brow furrowed slightly in thought. That kind of advantage was beyond significant—it was world-shifting.
"But then…" he asked slowly, "can a person acquire a bloodline? Is it something that can be... earned?"
Seraphina shook her head with a solemn expression, her voice lowering as she responded.
"Bloodlines are not so easily grasped, my lord. They are not treasures that can be found or skills that can be learned. They are inherited by birth—etched into one's flesh, soul, and destiny. Unless a higher being or a divine artifact intervenes, a person's bloodline cannot be altered. Even a being of Legendary Rank cannot change their own bloodline by will alone."
She paused for a moment, then added, "There are forbidden methods… cruel and dangerous ways that try to steal or forge bloodlines. But they are steeped in death, despair, and dark sacrifice. Entire sects have perished in pursuit of such cursed rituals. The risk is so immense that most regard it as suicide wrapped in illusion."
Arthur exhaled slowly. He understood now. The status screen had shown more than a new trait—it had revealed a power of ancient lineage. A unique bloodline, untouched by time, awakened once more through the will of a storm-born spirit. And it now belonged to the woman before him.
He looked at Seraphina, her posture tall and regal, the winds still dancing around her like loyal companions — as though the very air itself recognized her authority.
"Are there ranks in the bloodline as well?" Arthur asked, brows furrowed with interest.
Seraphina nodded slowly, her gaze distant, as if recalling ancient knowledge passed down through her royal lineage.
"Yes, my lord… and they are quite complicated."
She clasped her hands behind her back and began walking in a slow circle, her voice like that of a seasoned instructor, as the winds continued swirling faintly around her ankles.
"Bloodlines, like cultivation, are layered and hierarchical. But unlike cultivation realms, bloodlines affect every facet of a being — body, soul, affinity, instincts, talent, and potential Domains. The stronger the bloodline, the more profound the evolution of one's very existence."
"They are divided into Seven Major Ranks, and each rank is further split into three or four stages, called Grades. These internal divisions are crucial, because a bloodline at the peak of one grade may be stronger than a newly awakened bloodline of the next rank."
---
Rank I: Sealed/Dormant Bloodlines
Grades:
~Traced
~Slumbering
~Echoed Lineage
Cultivation Boost: None
Domains: 0
"These are latent bloodlines that exist within the body but remain sealed due to weakened lineage or suppression. They grant no power unless forcefully awakened, often through relics, rituals, or inheritance triggers."
---
Rank II: Lesser Bloodlines
Grades:
~Thin Vein
~Awakened Thread
~Residual Pulse
Cultivation Boost: +10%–30%
Domains: 0
"These bloodlines offer minor elemental affinities or slightly above-average physique strength. Their effects are often passive—such as heightened senses or faster recovery—but lack the force to influence higher cultivation paths."
---
Rank III: Common Noble Bloodlines
Grades:
~Minor Noble
~Purified Line
~Branded Heir
Cultivation Boost: +30%–50%
Domains: 1 (typically at Gold rank)
"Usually found in minor noble houses, sects, and martial clans. Bearers may receive ancestral weapons or minor spiritual guidance. Their Domain, if awakened, often represents a physical or elemental inheritance — like sword aura or earth mastery."
---
Rank IV: High Noble Bloodlines
Grades:
~Rooted Noble
~Soul-Bound Legacy
~Line of the Founder
Cultivation Boost: +50%–80%
Domains: 1 (stable) — 2 (if exceptional)
"These bloodlines are well-preserved through generations and carry the strength of founding ancestors. They often grant unique techniques, body refinement paths, or special senses. Bloodlines of this rank may even affect behavior — calm minds, heightened leadership, etc."
---
Rank V: Royal Bloodlines (like Seraphina's)
Grades:
~Lesser Royal
~True Royal
~Sovereign-Born
~Crowned Core
Cultivation Boost: +80%–130%
Domains: 2 (inherent) — 3 (with effort)
"Royal bloodlines embody the will of a kingdom or elemental spirit. In my case, the Hurricane Royal Line grants mastery over wind, motion, and storm physics. At higher grades, even the weather may bend unconsciously around the bearer."
"A Sovereign-Born or Crowned Core bearer may generate spontaneous domain fields in battle, and their skills evolve naturally as they rise — without needing external manuals."
---
Rank VI: Mythic Bloodlines
Grades:
~Fabled Core
~Ancient Pulse
~Primordial Vessel
`Titan's Descendant
Cultivation Boost: +130%–180%
Domains: 2 (at early stages), up to 4
"These are exceedingly rare. Said to descend from divine beasts, star-elemental spirits, or the remnants of titanic primordial beings. Bearers can command rare concepts like gravity, destruction, sound, or shadow. Their domains may become conceptual fields rather than just power zones."
> "However, few can stabilize these powers without going mad. Training with Mythic Bloodlines is dangerous — not only for the bearer, but for everyone around them."
---
Rank VII: Divine / Origin Bloodlines
Grades:
~Blessed Embryo
~Divine Core
~Origin-Touched
~True Lineage of Law
Cultivation Boost: ??? (depends on Law)
Domains: 3 (stable), up to 5 (if awakened)
"The rarest of all. These are the bloodlines of world-shapers, god-forged beings, or ancient creators. They don't just use laws they are born with them inscribed into their souls. Bearers of such bloodlines can mold space, erase time, or channel divine wrath."
"But the burden is immense. Most do not live long. Their minds crack, their bodies rupture from overload… or worse, they attract the attention of entities beyond the mortal plane who will not tolerate such unchecked potential."
"So, my lord," she concluded, turning back to Arthur, "the bloodline is not just a source of power. It is a destiny written into the soul one that blesses, curses, guides, and tests the bearer at every turn."
"Mine was sealed until now… but even I don't know what the future holds with it fully awakened."
Arthur looked at her, eyes narrowing slightly as he processed everything she had just explained. The wind still circled around Seraphina, subtle but constant, as though her very presence stirred the air. There was an undeniable majesty in her bearing — like the noble blood flowing through her veins was something ancient, something recognized even by the elements.
"So… your bloodline," Arthur began, his tone thoughtful. "It's the true line of the royal bloodline, isn't it?" He paused, then added, "That would mean you can awaken three Domains… right?"
His voice carried a mix of curiosity and calculation, but behind his words lingered a thread of confusion. He couldn't help but frown slightly as he thought back on something that had been bothering him ever since the topic of bloodlines came up.
After all, all of his Gold-ranked heroes — George, Lily, Ronan, Alisha, and the others — each had a Domain of their own. He had seen them use it in training and in the battlefield. It was a power that defined them, elevated them. And yet, not one of them possessed a known bloodline.
'Could it be because they're Heroes?' Arthur wondered, inwardly. 'Is it a trait unique to them? Some divine authority granted by the system itself?'
The thought made him uneasy. If Domains could be granted without a bloodline, and bloodlines could grant them without Hero status, then what exactly defined the limits of power in this world? There were still far too many unanswered questions — and the more he learned, the deeper the mystery became.
His gaze returned to Seraphina, who now looked radiant and composed, her eyes shining with newfound clarity. The presence of her bloodline — unsealed and no longer shackled — made her seem more than just human.
He waited for her response, hoping she could shed light on the strange overlap between Heroes and bloodlines, and whether the power of Domains truly belonged to one path… or many.
Seraphina turned to Arthur, sensing the flicker of confusion in his gaze despite the steady calm he always carried.
"The question you ask, my lord, is a natural one," she said softly, her silver eyes shimmering like dew in a gale. "And it is one that few in this age could answer properly…"
She stepped closer, her cloak rippling though no wind blew, and continued:
"Domains," she began, her tone like a royal scholar reciting truths carved in time, **"are not exclusive to those who bear a bloodline. A Domain is the embodiment of one's soul — a manifestation of their purpose, affinity, or path. Heroes, blessed by the World System itself, often awaken a Domain because their very existence is tied to fate, glory, and legend."
Arthur nodded slowly. That explained why his Gold-ranked heroes had domains despite lacking any known heritage.
"But," Seraphina added, "a bloodline... is something else entirely. It is legacy made manifest. A bloodline is the root of one's potential — it defines the ceiling and the floor of your power. It determines not just whether you can awaken a Domain… but how many."
She paused and raised her hand. A swirl of silver wind curled around her fingers, rising like a miniature twister before vanishing.
"My bloodline — the True Royal Line of the Hurricane Kingdom — allows the awakening of three Domains, over time, as I ascend in rank and power. The first Domain… I have just awakened."
