Chapter 12: Bloodline Extraction

Damon made sure that he was in a safe location as he slowly went over all the system notifications. Each one was more bizarre than the previous one, but everything only solidified what he already knew. He then opened up his status screen to take a look.

Damon opened and closed his mouth speechlessly, studying his status screen. The first thing he noticed was how he couldn't select a class anymore. This was a huge deal because without a class, how the hell was he supposed to progress in his path and learn more skills.

Not all the skills were like Blood Swipe which he had a good skill proficiency of and could be learned just from the muscle memory. He needed to choose a class to get some of the more powerful skills.

"Fuck. Did I wait too long?" He wanted to select a class after awakening to give him the best chance of unlocking a hidden class or a legendary class, but now he had completely lost that chance. Not to mention, without a class, five level-ups have netted him only 5 extra stat points.

With a class, he would have gotten 5 extra stat points per level. This was a big loss. Stats were everything in this game.

"Okay. Let's calm down. This may be a good thing." He knew anything labelled Primordial was definitely a good thing, and he had undergone a Primordial Awakening. There had to be more to this than his inability to choose a class. He decided to check out the skills next.

He had obtained three new skills from the awakening. Primordial Senses, Primordial Hunger, and Bloodline Extraction.

[Ding! Minor Agility Boost (Lv. 1): Permanently increases Agility by 5]

[Ding! You have killed Forest Wolf Lv. 3]

[Ding! You have gained experience points]

Damon stared wide-eyed at the notifications. He had gained 5 stat points just like that? A permanent stat boost? From one successful extraction? That wasn't just good. That was broken.

"Five agility points... from a Tier 0 beast?" He breathed, still clutching the limp corpse beneath him. "That's the same as a full level-up from a class bonus." He couldn't believe his eyes. How could something be so broken?

In most cases, even rare skill tomes or stat elixirs barely gave 5 or so stat points. And this... this was free. Maybe farmable? Maybe stackable. All he had to do was hunt, drink, and extract.

His hands trembled, not from fear but from excitement.

All the misery he went through in his last life was not for waste. A future had opened up before him, clearer than ever.

He didn't need a class. He didn't need a system-prescribed path. He had a freaking Primordial bloodline that let him bend the rules, devour others' power, and forge his own ascent.

He needed to find out more about this new skill of his!

By now the other two wolves had finished their meal and finally noticed him. They snarled loudly and lunged at him.

One came from the left, teeth bared, while the other flanked wide, trying to circle behind him. Damon didn't hesitate. The rush of combat drowned out every doubt, every question. All that mattered now was blood.

He ducked under the first wolf's swipe and slammed his elbow into its throat. It crumpled mid-leap, wheezing. The second wolf sank its fangs into his arm, but Damon didn't even flinch. He punched the damn thing down, completely knocking it out.

Without any hesitation, he immediately pounced on the first one as it tried to recover, claws digging into its fur. He bit deep into the side of its neck and activated the skill.
