The Bloodline System Chapter 398
Advertisement
Officer Briant fingers ran across the middle of his back twice and tightly pressed against the cadet's spinal area.
Then he moved to his shoulders and poked them twice before giving the cadet a chop at the back of his neck.
All this time, the cadet had been screaming because his body had been going through excruciating pains.
The instant Officer Briant's palm slammed into the back of his neck, he felt a sharp stinging pain from the middle of his chest.
It was so painful and peppery that the cadet groaned loudly.
"Now hold that energy in your chest area... Prevent it from moving or dissolving. Let it keep accumulating, the higher it accumulates, the more you can use this technique to improve your strength," Officer Briant instructed before moving onto the next cadet.
The same scene played out again as officer Briant performed the same action with the former one.
His assistants were also doing the same thing to other cadets in different places.
After ten minutes, he got to Gustav's position and started performing the same action on Gustav.
The moment Officer Braint's finger poked into his back, Gustav understood why the other cadets had been screaming in pain the whole time.
It was truly excruciatingly painful. Gustav moaned in a low tone as Officer Briant ran his pointed fingers across the middle of his back.
'Just what is this thing... I can feel a kind of energy building up in my chest area,' Gustav sensed.
The moment Officer Briant's palm collided with the back of his neck Gustav felt his vision darken as the energy gathering in his chest area increased immensely.
His whole body, at this point, was in pain as his chest heaved up and down.
"Hold that energy in your chest area,"

Although his senses felt woozy at the moment, he heard Officer Briant words.
Gustav wondered if others felt as intense as he did.
He bore the pain and held onto the energy within that kept accumulating as seconds passed.
Every cadet that had gone through that had their chest perked out and could be seen breathing in and out profusely.
About an hour later, every cadet had undergone the same thing and was holding whatever energy they had gathered within their chest area.
A lot of them were already close to releasing it because they couldn't hold on anymore.
"Pay attention... That energy gathered at your chest area is called Syrrhavo. It can only be harnessed at the peak of your growth stage which is now. And it can only be harnessed once throughout the lifetime of a mixedblood, so this is a once in a lifetime opportunity." Officer Briant announced.
"There are two ways it can help you... The first is that it will help expand the arteries and veins connected to your bloodlines, which in turn causes a chain reaction where you can channel your bloodline half twice as fast or twice as fast as before. The second is that it draws out a hidden potential within your bloodline, unlocking a powerful bloodline ability. The effectiveness is based mostly on how much you can hold on to it and stop it from dissolving within your body prematurely.
For it to work, your bloodline has to be in a dormant state, which is the reason for the seal. Also, to gather the energy, your body must be ordinary like that of a human, which is another reason for the seal and the daily routines.
If your bodies hasn't undergone training while your bloodlines were sealed, a lot of you will have passed out while I was imparting it, which would have made everything useless," Officer Briant explained.

The cadets now understood after listening to his explanation, but they wondered if the morning routine would continue after today.
"Now if you cannot hold on to it any longer, you need to pass it from place to place across your body for it to dissolve without sending your body into a state of shock," He added and began to explain the procedure with more details.
Those that couldn't hold on any longer did as they were told, and In a few seconds, the energy had dissolved within their body.
They had looks of relief as they felt the pain on their bodies lessen.
Officer Briant went on to unseal their bloodlines, and every one of them had looks of astonishment as they observed their body.
Officer Briant permitted them to dismiss themselves after they were done since there was nothing left to do here today.
Some cadets who had the action performed on them later than the others were still able to hold onto theirs.
A few strong normal cadets and the special class cadets still held on to theirs, waiting for the energy to accumulate more than the others to achieve maximum effect.
Gustav was drenched in his sweat at this point but still held on.
He put himself in a posture where he was able to manage the pain his body was experiencing by breathing properly.
Another hour passed, and the number of cadets still holding on had dwindled to around thirty.
Even special class cadets had dropped out at this point and unsealed their bloodlines.
Currently, there was only one non-special class cadet in the midst of twenty-nine special class cadets.
Angy and Falco had dropped out some time ago, but Matilda and Glade were still holding on.
Gustav, E.E, and Aildris were also holding on.
Elevora had a sweat-soaked face, but her expression was like that of Gustav's, unbothered.
In fact, she even looked more like she wasn't in any pain, unlike Gustav, whose forehead would occasionally crease like he was in the toilet trying to pass a hard shit.
More and more of them began to drop out, and in a few more minutes, only eight cadets were left.
Gustav, E.E, Aildris, Chad, Elevora, Endric, Chutlu and Deitrick.
Chute was the number four ranked cadet before Gustav, while Deitrick was not even a special class, yet he had held on for this long.
This amazed a lot of them that were watching from the sideline.
They were waiting to see who would be the last.
"Ah, I ca-n't ho-ld on anymore... I'm signing out guys," E.E voiced out as he performed the procedures necessary to finish up.
Just as he dropped out, so did Chutlu and Chad.
At this point, only Gustav, Aildris, Elevora, and Endric were the special classes left.
Endric seemed to still have a lot of spunk in him as he held on with a proud expression on his face.
("Hey, I can help you double the effect if you want,") Gustav suddenly heard the system voice out internally.

A Mildly Odd Reality Breaker
Omar receives an unexpected visitor who comes baring a gift—a "registration ticket"—in the form of a small metal card. The ticket is itself an offer to participate in the game, "Reality Break." Accepting this offer means that Omar will be able to perceive the true nature of reality where there is not one, but two dimensions of time, and in this second dimension history changes (and somewhat "frequently"). Along with this, he will also gain access to the "chronopause"; another reality that is not so much parallel to our own as it is perpendicular, which acts as both a place and the natural boundary between non-sequential points on the timeline. Using the chronopause, Omar will become a chrononaut with the ability to travel through time, and as a player, he will be given a cybernetic interface and his own portable extradimensional storage space. It's a strange conversation, but due to Omar's dismally short attention span, he only consciously hears that last bit about the portable pocket space, and that's only after the physics-defying void is opened in his living room and literally waved in front of his face. Reality is certainly stranger than most people realize, but then again, so is Omar. Thankfully, he responds well to shiny things, and for better or for worse, his chronic inattentiveness is the least of his psychological issues. Omar also has a mild form of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" which presents itself as an occasional, arbitrary need to disobey others (especially authority figures). However, his oddest psychological issue by far is his "abnormally hyperactive" subconscious mind. Outwardly and consciously, Omar is a lazy, apathetic man-child prone to mildly asinine behavior. Subconsciously, he's some sort of genius capable of extraordinary feats of cognition. Most of the time, Omar is a (technically) functioning adult, but in order to live as such, he must rely entirely upon unusual abilities he's completely unaware of, despite the fact that he uses them regularly. Up until now, his life had merely been ridiculous, but now it was also a game. Note: The narrative style is that of a reliable narrator with a "3rd-person sarcastic" POV. This story takes place in the Reality Breakers/Chronopause universe.

Aggravated Defense (Progression LitRPG)
A quick TL;DR pitch. LitRPG Apocalypse with group progression, a non-overpowered mc, a limited skill-slot System where having a single skill over your opponent could make a big difference. A barrier mage mc who isn’t an Edgelord A sentient System that’s a character in its own right. And no harem or cheat skills. ~<>~<>~ Steven knew the world had ended when a great green and purple dome covered the city of Anchorage. Then things got weirder. First earthquakes, then bolts fell from the sky, changing and twisting the things they hit. Steven, stuck in the throes of apathy, had sought shelter out of boredom more than anything else. But when some fellow survivors are separated and trapped by a rampaging moose, an emotion breaks through his apathy. He can’t turn away. Some people say it’s everyone for themselves at the end of the world. Steven disagreed ~<>~<>~ Will update every Sunday and Tuesday at 9:00am, unless the chapter is beefy, then we'll just have one that week. For some more meta details about this story, it’s a LitRPG Apocalypse with a focus on abilities and how they are used over stats and numbers. It will have group progression, a non-overpowered protagonist, and a focus on unique and interesting classes. No overwhelming advantages for the main crew or broken cheat skills. No harem, some amount of gore, decent levels of profanity.

Beast Dao Cultivator
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the world was at the peak of its era in the pursuit of power and knowledge. People ascended to the heavens and returned, walking amongst mortals. Great Buddhists, Evil Demons, Heavenly Celestials, Unfathomable Sages, Riders of Grand Majestic Beasts, Beloved Beings of Nature. Countless kinds of beings rose and fell. Countless kinds of method to ascend were known but a sudden change in the world changed that. Pandemonium spread throughout the world and countless grand races and even grander sects and organizations fell. The huge surge had come to an end as each race went to one place or another to hide, higher beings ran to the higher realms to hide from the destruction of the lower realm. Countless deaths in all races happened and many are said to have been pushed to extinction. Today, the world has regressed to what can be called a mediocre shadow of what was once a massive power that ruled the world. The races have each slowly crawled out of their holes and slowly spread their numbers once more, rediscovering what was once lost. New sects were born, clans spread, nations rise and war once more appeared. Still the catastrophe had not only drastically changed the world but the energy of nature. Where once all kinds of power filled the air all over the massive planet no longer did this power appear. Instead the grand energies seemed as if something had snuffed a huge amount of it, now the areas were each energy appeared each possessed different kinds of energy. One region could simply have Qi, another could have Qi where each area within a region had specific element to it, there was mana which permeated the air in other regions, Spiritual force in others, infernal energy in another and so each massive region slowly claimed their own resource and their growth slowly diverted only towards these energies. Only there was one type of being that could survive and grow in each and every kind. The most mysterious which were all called Riders. Beings who were one with their mounts born for each other and cultivated together.
