Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 223: Racial Traits!

In this world, every creature contains mana energy inside their body since birth. However, only after forming a Mana core can they control that energy and start breaking through their body limits to become stronger.

Every living creature has the possibility of forming Mana Core either by Natural or Artificial Awakening. Regardless of their 'Talent'.

Contrary to this, Bloodline Awakening is a power that only a minority of people among the awakeners can awaken. Which involves inheriting or unlocking specific abilities or traits passed down through lineages, blessings of the ancestors or Sacred Beasts, a mutation of the parents' bloodline, and many more.

It's often seen as a rare and prestigious occurrence, and the awakening may have a range of effects, from enhanced physical prowess to improved elemental manipulation or unique magical powers.

Even the mutation of elements, like the White Flame of the Aiverson Royal Family. Which is their bloodline ability as their ancestors received the blessings of the Sacred Beast 'White Tiger'. Thus, having a special bloodline.

In conclusion, even a simple Bloodline Awakening can lead to a vast difference in power between the awakeners of the same rank.

Because of this reason, bloodline awakeners are often a target of jealousy and envy of the non-bloodline awakeners.

However, there's nothing they could do other than try to marry a bloodline awakener so that their children could become bloodline awakeners and pass on the ability in their lineage.

Now, breaking through this common sense. The genius scientist Morbo Vulmuske thought of a method that could help normal awakeners get powers similar to a bloodline awakening, which is called a pseudo-bloodline.

What is a pseudo bloodline and how exactly is it any different from a normal bloodline awakening?

Unlike normal bloodline abilities, which are hereditary, pseudo bloodline is an artificial way of obtaining bloodline-like powers through genetic reformation.

Different from humans, other humanoid races in this world have racial traits and innate abilities, which gives them an enormous advantage over an average awakener of their same level.

For example:

Fairies have a vast amount of mana compared to the other races.

Giants, with their huge and powerful physique, can easily crush opponents of the same rank from other species with their overwhelming strength.

Harpies have an advantage over their opponents because of their ability to fly.

Mer-folks can breathe underwater and have an advantage over other races for the resources from sea dungeons.

Whether Dwarves, Elves, or Beast-Kin, they all have some kind of racial advantage.

Humans also have racial traits. However, different from other races, it's not so obvious. The racial ability they have is called 'Adaptability'. The human body has the power to slowly adapt to the environment it's in.

With this concept in mind, scientist Morbo Vulmuske tried to convert the genetic traits of the other species into bloodline factors and infuse them into the human body, awakening a pseudo-bloodline. Thus, creating the so-called Reformers.

In his years of research, there have been several experimental results, such as Karlos Park, who had been infused with the bloodline factor of the ability to transform into a harpy. However, the genetic infusion is still unstable, making the results a failure every time.

"Do you remember the entire process, when you went through genetic reformation?" Luis asked.

Karlos, in a dazed state, shook his head and answered. "I was unconscious for an entire week at that time."

"Hmm, I see." Luis nodded with a thoughtful expression. 'I guess it won't be easy after all. Whatever, I would still try. If there's nothing in the end, then I can try to steal his research or just wait for the right time to abduct him.'

He shook his head to stop thinking about it.

"So, what was your specific purpose in coming here?" Luis asked, then with a hint of sarcasm, he added. "I don't think it would have been to help get revenge for your brother, right?"

To be honest, Luis had a guess in his mind, but he still wanted to confirm it from Karlos' mouth.

"Of course not." Karlos shook his head without hesitation. "Reunion with William was just my personal matter. We were called here to support the other team in tomorrow's mission."

"Who and what mission?" Luis asked, with a knowing expression.

"Their code names are Frank and Rover. The mission is to recruit or kidnap a student of the Oracle Academy. The target's name is Alex Stain."

"I see," Luis mumbled while thinking. 'It seems the coded message was to ask for support after all. Unfortunately, because of William's interference, they kidnapped my team member. Otherwise, I wouldn't have involved myself.'

'Will Frank and Rover know that I have eliminated their support team and will make trouble for me? Maybe I should deal with them, too.' He was displeased when he thought of this. '*sigh* I wanted them to beat that protagonist a little.'

Somewhat reluctant to deal with them. Luis asked Karlos another question to decide.

"Are Frank and Rover aware of your arrival here?"

To Luis' surprise. Karlos shook his head.

"No, they are hiding undercover. So, even the exchange of information and such is secretive and very limited. We were supposed to contact them tomorrow at the time of taking action. So, they don't know yet who was sent here as support."

"Well, that's convenient." A smile appeared on Luis' face. "That means as long as they don't know about the support team's elimination, they will proceed as planned?"

"Yes." Karlos nodded in affirmation.

'Phew~ Guess, I won't have to deal with them.' Not that he was afraid, but he didn't want to be Alex's guardian. Besides, someone who would have hurt Alicia in the future deserves to be beaten.

Very satisfied with the result. Luis thought of something and asked.

"Why did your organization send only B-rank and below members for this mission? Can you truly kidnap someone from the Oracle Academy?"

"Our purpose is just to kidnap an F-rank, not to start a war with the academy. If we are sneaky enough, everything should be fine. Besides, if someone above B rank tries to infiltrate the barrier. It will alert the Academy Guards. We can't risk that."

"Hmm," Luis was thoughtful. Then he asked, "Why exactly is your organization interested in Alex Stain?"
