It wasn’t a mistake.
Suho quickly checked the details of *Newblood*.
[ *Newblood* ]
- A new type of bloodline.
- The foundation of evolution is absorbing and combining existing elements.
- Accepts all bloodline effects without differentiation.
- Grants 'Harmony (S)', 'Purification (S)', and 'Qualification (S)' between owned bloodline skills.
Suho’s eyes widened as he read the details of *Newblood*.
This was truly an entirely new trait.
And, moreover...
‘This is top-tier even among S-rank traits...!’
Unlike skills, traits didn’t have ranks.
However, based on the inherent skills or effects of a trait, the association would assign a rank. Traits like *Newblood*, which granted not one but three S-rank effects, were incredibly rare.
Suho checked each of the effects granted by *Newblood* one by one.
[ *Harmony* ]
- Rank: S
- Prevents conflicts between bloodline skills and preserves their effects as they are.
[ *Purification* ]
- Rank: S
- Removes the negative effects of bloodline skills.
[ *Qualification* ]
- Rank: S
- Grants the original qualifications of bloodline skills.
After reading through the effects, Suho couldn't help but smile.
‘With these options, it’s no wonder the *Vampire Blood* seal would be lifted...!’
Suho then proceeded to check the details of the *Vampire Blood* that had been sealed.
[ *Vampire Blood* ]
- Rank: S+
- The pure bloodline of the original vampires, the 'Royal Vampires,' known as the aristocrats of the night.
- Lv.1 - Royal Blood: Original Vampires (S)
- Lv.2 - [ ??? ] (locked)
Unlock Conditions:
① Level 100
② Unknown
- Lv.3...
Suho’s eyes widened once again.
This was different from the *Vampire Blood* he was familiar with.
‘Royal Vampires?’
The *Vampire Blood* that *Blood Grandmaster* had obtained was A+ rank.
However, the *Vampire Blood* Suho had obtained was S+ rank.
Moreover, the term ‘Royal’ or ‘Original’ had never appeared in *Blood Grandmaster’s* *Vampire Blood*.
Suho realized it must be the effect of the *Newblood* trait.
Suho then checked the effect of *Royal Blood*, the first level of *Vampire Blood*.
[ *Original Vampire* ]
- Rank: S
- The first vampires are known as the "Originals."
- They are the noblest and purest of all vampires, with bloodlines worthy of being called royal.
- Inherits the power of the *Original Vampires*.
- Immune to the effects of darkness.
- Not affected by garlic, silver, crosses, or sunlight.
The information flooded in.
Suho was a little surprised.
‘It’s really like this?’
It was surprising.
*Blood Grandmaster’s* *Vampire Blood* didn’t have such effects.
‘Moreover, *Blood Grandmaster* was a half-blood player whose race had actually changed. But my *Vampire Blood* has richer options...’
He chuckled to himself.
Having returned to this life, Suho thought he would be stuck with only his previous S-rank skills, but things had turned out far better than expected.
‘Maybe the longer time goes on, the harder it will be to follow my original plans.’
But it didn’t matter.
Although things had diverged from his plan, he had gained results far better than he had hoped.
Suho then checked his status screen.
[ *Ahn Suho* ]
- Lv: 51
- Class: Healer
- Trait: *Newblood*
- Strength (R): 13
- Health (R): 13
- Mana (R): 13
- Sensory (R): 78
- Bonus Stats: 17
The newly added trait was displayed clearly.
Next to it, *Newblood* was boldly written.
Suho invested all the bonus stats into *Sensory* and closed the status window.
*‘Well, should we head out now?’*
He had captured the *Cursed Prince* and acquired the trait he had been after.
There was no longer any reason to stay here.
Suho began walking toward the exit of the Gate.

**Back at the Korean Hunter Association (KHA) building.**
"So, you just let him go like that?"
"...Yes, that’s correct."
Jung Chul-min was being scolded by Vice President Park Gyu-man.
Why?
