Blood Assimilation

186 Awakening Innate Skills!

After pondering by himself for a few moments in the total and complete darkness with nothing but those shimmering and shining colorful balls of lights in his surroundings, Randy suddenly inwardly sighed to himself.

‘So, in the end, it appears that my awakened ability is turning out stranger than I had originally thought... I have no idea why I have such a complicated ability in the first place... It seems like I would have to directly ask my parents about this matter when I go back, but before that, I need to get stronger in this world.’

‘After all, that was their condition... the condition they set in order for them to give me their excuse as to why they treated me the way they did within the past few years. I truly don’t understand why they would do such a thing to their own son just because of some secret regarding my unawakened ability.’

Randy could not help but think this way because this situation would be hard to understand for anyone. Especially, after finding out that the space that he found himself currently was actually where his bloodlines reside, which means anything found within this space should be related to him somehow. That was indisputable, considering even his system stated it very clearly.

Moreover, if that was the case, then how could he have something like this blood space within his body? From what he could deduce from this situation, there was a possibility that his ancestral regression skill was most likely not a coincidental ability that he obtained from the burglar’s blood after he had fused with it. That was because it was too simply good for his ability to enable him to have something like a whole space inside his body.

Furthermore, just now, he discovered that these four balls of lights depicted his direct ancestry, in other words, they depicted his roots very vividly due to the familiarity he felt from them, so he was certain that those other colorful balls of light belonged to a distant relative or other people unrelated to him.

That was if considering that the distant relatives’ bloodlines were not his direct relative. And so, their bloodline should not manifest in this place and only be part of his parents’ bloodline at most.

As for some of the other colorful balls of lights, Randy could only guess that those were the depictions of the blood of the people that he had assimilated with in the past.

However, the remaining colorful balls of lights seemed very different from the ones that he has assimilated with in the past, but for some reason, Randy could tell that they were originally part of his bloodline from the beginning.

.....

‘Hm? Why do I know about something like that? Is this the effect of being in this place?’ Randy was puzzled by his own thought process.

Randy suddenly shook his head a moment later and quickly dismissed this puzzling discovery since no matter how much he thought he would not get a proper answer by himself.

‘Let’s search what I came here to for...’

Afterward, he continued to search for the blonde man’s blood, which would now be in a form of one of these colorful balls of lights. But he still did not know what form of color it would be in, so he had to search very carefully amidst all the other colorful balls of lights.

Shortly after skimming through the remaining two to three colorful balls of light that seemed to be the ones that he had assimilated personally, he suddenly found a colorful ball of light that exuded a faint golden-yellow color. And Randy instantly assumed that to be the blood of the blonde man’s blood, as he did not recognize or see it before during the times that he had used his ancestral form.

‘That should be it...’

As he concluded this, Randy immediately used his thought to get close to the golden-yellow ball of light before quickly grabbing it without hesitation.

As soon as he grabbed it, the golden-yellow ball of light glowed blindingly bright until it suddenly scattered and then absorbed into Randy’s spiritual body.

A moment later, Randy’s vision blurred, and soon, he found himself back inside the safe room. At this moment, Randy could feel clear and noticeable changes occurring to his body.

He noticed that his originally curly blonde hair had gotten longer and turned blonder compared to before, and it even got straighter with all his curls now all gone.

Randy could feel his entire body undergoing a transformation, and when he looked down on his palm, he could see his hand was getting bigger, and his height was now close to 2 meters tall. Although Randy could be considered to have a decent height of 1.82 meters, he still could not compare to the blonde man’s height if they stood close to each other, as the other party would be slightly taller than him.

However, at this moment, his height has reached the same height as the blonde man and even his physique and appearance looked exactly the same as the blonde man, almost as if he had become the blonde man.

“This is... Eh?”

Randy suddenly realized that although his blonde hair was still blonde, his muscles, bones, his height, and voice had changed dramatically as if he had entered his assimilated state.

‘Hahaha! Just like I thought! So that’s it! I truly can turn into other people with this ancestral regression skill. I thought it only worked on the ancestral bloodlines that I was born with, but it turned out you can also use it like this.’ Randy inwardly laughed and silently thought in excitement.

The reason for his sudden reactions was because, with this newly discovered ability, he could achieve many things in this world without worrying too much about being found out. After all, the only thing that he had to worry about was his identity, which was hard to prove, but with this ability, he could simply kill someone and assume their identity afterward.

Fortunately, he had kept the blonde man’s corpse inside his storage bracelet since he did not want the armored men who were presumably with him to discover that their comrade got killed by someone.

If they had found his corpse, they would have proceeded to search for the killer afterward, and in the process, there was a chance that they would scour the surroundings and eventually discover that he was the culprit since he had only arrived in this world.

Not to mention, he had taken shelter in the village, so he was essentially a stranger to that place, and therefore, it would have been easy for them to find out about his actions after a bit of probing.

Afterward, Randy observed his transformed form with a smile on his face.

‘Did I really transform into that blonde man? I cannot tell for sure, but I’ll assume that to be the case for now until I get a mirror to look at myself properly.’ Randy thought to himself.

As he indulged in his thoughts while checking out his body, suddenly, a new notification resounded from the challenger’s system, quickly snapping him from his glee state of mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected a familiar existence within the user’s body]

[Currently confirming the source]

[Error! Unable to confirm due to interference from an unknown source]

[Detected an innate skill within the user’s body]

[An unprecedented phenomenon detected from the challenger!] ????????????r????????????. ????o????

[Due to discovering more than one innate skill within the challenger’s body, the system had now confirmed that despite being human, the challenger has more than one innate skill for reasons unknown]

[In response, the system had decided to initiate the awakening sequence of the challenger’s possible innate skills from now on]

[Whenever the system detects a new innate skill within the challenger’s soul, the system would automatically engage in the awakening sequence to awaken them. Furthermore, any awakened innate skill would be shown on the user’s attribute screen along with their level of mastery]

‘Awakening innate skills?’ Randy thought to himself after he read through the notification from his challenger’s system.
