Villain's Valor: A Noble Fantasy Resurrection - Chapter 18 - 18: Progress (2) (Edited)

Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Progress (2) (Edited)

After bathing and putting on comfortable sleepwear, I lay down on the bed and began to contemplate.

My lineage is affecting me and has not awakened yet; I guess it’s very strong.

Not only is my personality changing, making me bolder and more confident, but I also notice that I used to be more reserved and calm. Now I realize that before I was afraid to talk to my parents, but now I don’t even stutter. I feel more confident with myself and it feels amazing, however, I can’t afford to be too confident yet because I’m still weak, I need more training, even if it hurts it helps me progress…

My way of thinking has also changed. Now I feel more capable of killing. Before, the mere idea of killing made me shudder in fear. Being a person in the modern world, killing another human being was something that never crossed my mind, even if they were monsters. I had planned to keep a low profile in the academy, but now I sit and wonder why, there’s no need to do such a thing, besides attention is always welcome and with this, I can clean my image before the entire empire, killing two birds with one stone.

The problem now is my own mind; I don’t know what’s happening with my blood, but it reacts with my sister. This has been happening since I awakened my aura, but my mind remains firm. It’s strange, my blood heats up, somehow, I feel her blood calling to mine. Unlike me, my sister has already awakened her bloodline; she possesses the lineage of an Ice Dragon.

Her lineage is peculiar; her aura is bluish with flames. It allows her to change the color of her hair and eyes to navy blue when she activates her lineage and engages in serious combat.

According to family records, her lineage is of royal blood and only appears in the women of the family. The last record of this lineage was when it was held by Kristina Von Aureliano, the duchess, about 200 years ago. My father passed on the information about this lineage to my sister.

I am very curious about my bloodline and why it reacts that way when I am near my sister.

Honestly, I prefer my current personality. The main reason is that I feel I can approach people with more confidence. In my previous life, due to my timidity, I was always alone and never had a girlfriend.

For better or for worse, my lineage is changing me, and I am eager to see how it changes completely once it awakens.

But for that, I need to reach gold rank.

“System, what is the way to become stronger?”

[Ding! The host needs to kill monsters to become stronger.]

Frowning at the system’s words, it’s a slave system, but I can’t do much more than complain. Besides, it helps me somehow to become stronger, but every time I ask about life limits, it doesn’t give me answers.

“Do you have any way to see my progress?”

[Ding! Yes, if the host wishes, I can create a score to observe the host’s progress.]

“Agreed.”

[Ding! Experience required to ascend to gold rank]

[0/40,000]

[Ding! The host needs to kill monsters of rank 1 or 2]

[Rank 1 = 100 exp]

[Rank 2 = 200 exp]

“So, I need to kill 200 rank 2 monsters or 400 rank 1 monsters or around 136 rank 3 monsters, but that’s impossible, unless you’re a damn suicide.”

Similarly, the matching of ranks with monster ranks has a gap between the different ranks; unless you have a true name, you can face a rank higher than yours.

You can face a rank higher than yours if you have a strong lineage, but facing a monster with two ranks higher than yours is suicidal.

And, of course, to obtain a true name, you must kill a monster two ranks above yours.

“Darn it, that’s going to be very difficult, if not impossible.”

But like it or not, I need a true name. Later in the story, it will serve me greatly to survive. No matter what, I have to kill a monster two ranks above mine.

Sharpening my determination and will, I vow that in these 6 months, I will kill a titan or so I hope, it’s easier said than done…. ViiSiit n𝒐velb𝒊/n(.)c/(𝒐)m for l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels

The main cast receives their true names later in the story.

The titans are in zone 4 of the endless forest. This forest has 8 zones, with the last being the most dangerous in this world and the place where the anomaly was born, chaos, the primordial destroyer, the king of monsters, Maquiel…
