“Haah~ Haah~” Letting out repeated deep breaths while resting his hands on his knees, Jin tried hard to retain his calm. He couldn't place why, but for some reason everything about that woman got under his skin. Though it was probably the dumb pranks and jokes.

“Okay, Raven, what the hell are panties doing here? And how-”

Detecting valuable item, “Scanties of Nothingness”, would you like to tribute to the system and unlock the Store?

Taking a moment of silence for his own common sense, Jin mechanically nodded with defeat in his voice. “Sure, yeah, go ahead. It doesn't matter, nothing matters really...”

Host should stop whining, despite being broke you managed to obtain a legendary artifact that had the power to give male wearers infinite stamina, female wearers the power to dominate the souls of anyone who sees them, and no effect on a-sexual wearers.

Does Host wish to fuse Bloodline? It is recommended to find a safe location before fusing.

“I'm not sure if I missed an opportunity or dodged a bullet with those things... Anyway, what does that degraded part of that Ootsutsuki Bloodline mean?” Picking up the pace, he noticed the edge of the forest in sight.

"In certain cases, degraded bloodlines may be available, one such case being the Ootsutsuki which instead of giving the full benefit of the bloodline, only parts are given. Through the Store and Missions, it's possible to increase the purity. If Host already has a bloodline, it is possible to fuse them into a new one."

“So it's possible to make new bloodlines, good to know. It would be kinda funny to use the Nara's Shadow Possession to read a person's mind like a Yamanaka. Though, I wonder if it's possible to do the same for other things...?”

Mission Complete!

Congratulations for finally stop being a nosy little prick and finally doing something interesting besides flipping out like a child. Don't spend it all in one place young man. Reward

Carrying those you love with you, you soar to the heavens with they as your wings. SP Gain doubled for killing threats toward loved ones; Natural talent and Comprehension abilities strengthened; Serenity skill; Special Technique – Wind and Lightning

Jin looked between the two, thinking over the options. 'If I had to say, these two options are like asking what kind of protagonist I want to be. God of the New World sounds like the kind of guy who was betrayed once and took it wa~y to hard for it to be healthy. Who knows how many people they would offend by the end of the day, and how many of their friends they endanger because of it. If they even have friends.

I'm a decently social person and acting like a loner like that is not my thing. Not to mention those effects which while amazing at first glance, are just screaming for those self proclaimed sacred grounds to come down and kill me to either figure out how to get such an ability themselves or to prevent me from threatening their power. And I'm not a Jashinist!' Automatically marking GNW out of the choices; He looked towards Flowing Wind, Divine Lightning. 'While this one has a less domineering name, it's closer toward my ideal. Plus the bonuses are mostly invisible, while the the comprehension ability would make learning jutsu and profound arts and skills easier even without Raven's help. Especially since I have a rough idea how the Flying Thunder God works and it has a low chakra cost to the point it can be spammed at ridiculous levels after reaching a certain degree of strength.'

Making his choice, Jin called out with the corner of his lips twitched upward on one side into a smile. “I choose Flowing Wind, Divine Lightning. Let those who take their place by my side ascend with me unto the vast heavens across a myriad of worlds, the innocent cheer our name, and scum perish under judgment!”

Acknowledged.

"...Host, why are you giving such a speech in such a method when you only needed to pick an option?"

Pausing at Raven's words, Jin couldn't help having the smile he wore spasm at such a statement. His attempt to sound like one of those tradition main characters ruined by cold, hard facts of a system who has already stated it viewed him as an idiot once before. Coughing twice, he attempted to explain away his embarrassment as heat gathered in his cheeks which only added to his already feminine appearance.

“Oh, you know, I just kinda felt like the atmosphere was one where you needed to say something to reaffirm my conviction to walk the path I chose. Isn't that normal in these situations?”

"Is that so?"

Hearing it go quiet just as he reached the city gates, he noticed the guards with text above their heads that gave away their cultivation at the Nascent Soul realm. His inner monologue flaring 'Well, that's helpful. Won't have to worry about kicking a steel plate this way.' only for Raven to cut down his expectations.

System highlights only exist so long as you have no cultivation of your own. Please stop expecting me to hold your hand.

Holding back the urge to put face to palm, he hurried ahead only to be stopped. A guard with a strange look in his eyes holding out his hand. “Miss, it's one hundred profound coins to enter the city for merchants, while it cost one hundred and forty profound coins for citizens. Though, I suppose I could let a child like you in for free if you don't have it, our Floating Cloud isn't popular enough to attract guest.” Despite the kind way he said it, Jin couldn't stop noticing the way he was being looked at; And being called 'miss' certainly explained it. Not knowing whether to laugh, cry, or cause a scene, he only let out a wry smile and thought about the possibility of the offer to let him in for free as a trap.

“I'll pay. Also, I'm not a miss. I'm a guy.”

Reaching into his sleeve and taking out a Profound Card given to him for the mission reward, he extracted 140 out of the 10,000 Yellow Profound coins. Dumping them into the guard's hand, he hurried past him while the guard was dumbfounded. The sound of the guard shouting out “impossible!” coming from behind him as he speed-walked through the city streets. Jin taking in the sights of the wooden and stone buildings with silent amazement, it being proof he was indeed in a different world. Thinking of the little brother left behind, he could only sigh and be thankful that Jun was already self-sufficient enough that he hadn't needed to look after him since the brat was a teenager.

After stopping people a few times, while always being mistaken as a girl and having to correct them each time, he managed to make his way to an inn with decent security. The hostess inside serving food at the dinner counter while greeting him and even explaining their prices. “Welcome to the Drifting Cloud inn, best in the city! It's 15 profound coins a night, meals included, while it's 5 coins for water in your room. Prices are non-negotiable.”

Giving a nod while calculating it himself, Jin ended up paying 75 coins, marking his stay for the next five days while skipping the water for today at least. Before the girl could get back to work, he asked her about the Xia family since he already considered going after Xia Qingyue a first step. Ignoring the fact she was considered one of the top beauties in the entire series in his previous life, the amount of things she had to go through because of Yun Che was ridiculous. Her family was scattered, she was cheated on and even had to share her husband with other women due to his inability to be content with what he already had. Even if she never complained and accepted the situation with cool indifference, no person would be happy with such actions. Not to mention the fact he kept making her think he was dead.

Rather than have her go through with such a thing, why not let her soar through the heavens? After all, her wish was to find her mother and unite her family again. While a realm king would be a tough fight if he came at him head on, kidnapping one prisoner shouldn't be too hard if he takes advantage of what's already at his disposal.

With those thoughts in his mind, he made a mental note of the location and would be sure to pay Xia Hongyi a visit afterwards. Making his way into his room, Jin made sure to lock the door tight before laying down on the bed, calling out to Raven while a stray thought crossed his mind. “Um, hey, Raven? Are you a girl or a boy?”

… Would host like to fuse Degraded Ootsutsuki Bloodline (Uchiha)?

Noticing that the system sounded more mechanical than normal, he couldn't help raising an eyebrow at the reply. “Wow, ignoring the question right out the gate? Though, I guess that's my fault, the name Raven does make me see you as a female. Anyway, why is it Ootsutsuki and not Uchiha bloodline if it has that modifier?”

Explaining to host. The Ootsutsuki bloodline is the origin of various clans, including the Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, Hyuuga, and Kaguya clans among others. Compared to the Uchiha bloodline, however, Ootsutsuki members do not have the possibility of going blind from using Sharingan. In return for having Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan without the need to transplant the eyes of another holder, certain Ootsutsuki abilities are not available such as the Ash Killing Bones or innate Wood Release and Byakugan.

“I see... Well, begin fusion then. At least I won't go blind using them.”

Acknowledged. Host will now be rendered unconscious for the next five hours to prevent mental collapse due to pain.

“Wait, say-” Before he could finish, everything went black as he wanted to question what she meant by mental collapse.
