The Bloodline System Chapter 301
Advertisement
[Five-year quest has been issued]
This was the first time Gustav was being woken up by a quest, so he knew it had to be serious.
Gustav opened up his notification panel to check out what the quest details were all about.
---------------------------
[Quest]
----------------------------
Gustav stared at the panel with a look of astonishment as he read the details of the quest internally.
"Dimension six in planet Humbad?" He muttered with a look of confusion.
In the next instant, his eyes suddenly widened as he remembered something.
"Planet Humbad... The home planet of the Slarkovs..." Gustav muttered after recalling this from the historical books.
"Why would the system be issuing me an invalid quest. The planet was destroyed long ago, which was what caused them to relocate back to earth... How does it expect me to find this dimension six within a planet that has already been destroyed?" This looked extremely confusing to Gustav, so he decided to ask the system.
'Hey System... Why give me a quest to find somewhere that doesn't exist?' Gustav said internally.
("Who says it doesn't exist?")
The familiar cute, and thin, feminine voice resounded in his mind.
'Planet Humbad was destroyed thousands of years ago, so how do I find a place within a planet that doesn't exist anymore?' Gustav asked with a slight expression of annoyance.
("I ask again who says it doesn't exist anymore?") The system voiced internally once again.
'Hey, did you forget about the part where I mentioned it was destroyed thousands of years back? According to the history books, the Slarkovs descended to earth because they predicted the destruction of their planet, which eventually got destroyed,' Gustav argued with the system since the quest was practically impossible with these facts.
("You are really a dumbo...")

The system insulted Gustav.
Gustav; "..."
("They predicted the destruction of their planet and left... But were they there to see its destruction?") The system asked.
'Of Cou...' Gustav paused midway and placed his hand on his chin with a look of contemplation.
'What exactly are you trying to say?' Gustav asked, 'Are you saying planet Humbad might still be in existence?' he added with a look of disbelief.
("Who knows? Just make sure the quest is completed. Sooner or later, you'll discover the truth if you dig deep enough,") she voiced out before turning quiet.
Gustav didn't bother trying to bring the system back to this topic because he knew all too well that the system would stop replying to him at this point.
'Could it really be possible that the planet still exists? But it was said in the history books that hundred of years later, a research team was sent from earth to investigate. They found nothing in the part of the galaxy where planted Humbad used to be,' Gustav couldn't wrap his head around all this.
It was all too confusing, but he had decided to dig deep and do proper research about it.
Due to this, Gustav had even forgotten to check the other details of the quests for the rewards, so he decided to check them now.
---------------------------
[Rewards For Quest Completion]
---------------------------
Gustav's eyes widened slightly as he saw them, 'These are too good to be true,' He was pleasantly surprised by the bountiful rewards.
'Class level up... I can't even use the power of my current class,' Gustav smiled wryly as he stared at this.
'Hey System, one more question... Any idea on how to use this power called YARKI?' Gustav asked internally.

("Figure it out yourself or there's no point,") The system responded.
'Thanks for nothing,' Gustav said internally with a look of repression.
Gustav went back to checking the rewards and nodding with a look of delight after reading each one of them.
'S grade... Does such a bloodline actually exist?' Gustav wondered as he stared at the last reward.
("Have you checked out the punishment?") The system suddenly asked while Gustav was contemplating.
'Oh yeah, you and punishments... It's probably gonna be hidden like the others, right?' Gustav said internally with a scoff while looking further downwards.
-------------------------
[Punishment For Failure]
[Duration]
[Host will meet his end if the quest is not completed within the time frame required]
--------------------------
Gustav's eyes widened as he noticed the punishment.
"What is with you and death? You try to kill me on our first encounter, and from what I remember, you once gave me a quest with punishment as death... Should I remind you that you also wouldn't survive without me?" Gustav said with a tone of annoyance.
("I'd prefer to meet my end than to remain within a useless host,") The system replied with an uncaring tone.
Gustav; "..."
("Besides... If you cannot complete these quests, you have no hope of taking on what is to come which will eventually lead to death, so failure leads to death either way,")
The system foreshadowed again.
Gustav's had a look of contemplation as he heard that. It was obvious that the system had a lot of things it was keeping from him, which caused him to worry.
He didn't want to end up failing due to lack of information, but he understood that the system had built-in protocols that prevented it from sharing everything.
He just hoped that just as it had put this quest out, the process of completion would cause things to be revealed to him slowly.
"Wait... You said quests?" Gustav's mind went back to a few moments ago, where the system used plural form instead of singular.
("Yes... Did you assume there was only one quest?") The system responded with a ridiculing tone as if it was trying to say Gustav was too lazy.
Gustav; "..."
[Another Five-Year Quest Has Been Issued]
A new notification suddenly popped up in Gustav's line of sight.
He wasted no time in requesting for the full details of the notification to be displayed.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
