The Eternal Family

Ace woke up in the middle of the night, feeling groggy after an exhausting day.

He found himself surrounded by the soft bodies of his Family but he utterly lacked the energy to move. So, he remained still for a while, not wanting to disturb their sleep, before finally mustering some power to get up and make his way to the bathroom.

Groggily as it might be, he reached the bathroom, and then, he turned on the tap and adjusted the water temperature, he settled into the bathtub and rested his head against the headrest. The warm water provided much-needed relief to his tired muscles, and he closed his eyes, allowing himself to unwind before facing the challenges ahead.

He fell asleep inside the bathroom for a while, before he woke up with a start. He was quite tired, but he couldn't take a rest yet.

So he looked up and called for the 'System' in his mind; a dark watery Screen popped up in front of him, skipping every detail, even his new ability copied from his mother:

he moved his gaze away from everything and looked at his pleasure points

[Pleasure points : 0]

As expected, it was just zero...

Chuckling to himself, he then moved his gaze away again and found a new yet interesting and terrifying notice: [The Unbinding Process Completed: 100%]

It surely did eat away at his points, all the points he had worked hard for yesterday had been completely sucked dry, it had even sucked out some of his strength and body stats itself, luckily they decided to fuck wake him...

If he hadn't been woken up by his sister's bold decision, he would have died soon.

But that was totally reasonable. No, it was an incredibly good, unreasonable, and absurd offer to employ such a strong power while just expending that many pleasure points.

This Unbinding process once it completes, was a very great thing, it was only natural it had some overwhelming qualities.

The moment he clicked it, he discovered its full features. And just as he realized while having just woken up from his coma, it was actually happening; this was the reason the system unintentionally unleashed its own aura...

[The Unbinding Process:

The Host is expected to attain eternality if they survive long enough as the Heir and Successor of the Flowing Blood Of Eternals. But there are many unknown needs and steps along the way, making the way to this goal unclear. Detachment from fate, time, and space is one of the simplest requirements.]

The tab blurred and revealed further details,

[The only creatures capable of attaining Eternity are wholly "singular anomalies," A lifeform which set out on its own road of power — free from the influence of destiny or fate. Since you are the Eternal Blood Host; you are naturally free from Fate.

But in order to completely transcend space and time, you must experience an Infinity Warp.

Fortunately, the system gives you the option to do so, releasing you from time and space constraints. You can travel through time using it. Do you want to proceed? YN]

Harry pondered on it and then calmly came to some conclusions...

The system had unlocked a seal within itself, releasing an aura that only he could perceive and in the process, rendered him unconscious due to its extraordinarily potent hidden power.

And that sealed thing was this feature — Infinity Warp.

And,

As of how he was now, he could slowly build his power up and reach strength and status equal or even much higher than the king.

But if he remained on his current course of endlessly absorbing other people's skills, he would never reach the so-called "Eternal level" because in order to get there, you had to be this "Singular Anomaly" when you are at stage 0 of your own ability or Gift.

So he thought to himself, Was the King's level of strength sufficient? Was it acceptable to not be a 'Eternal'? Was it worth it? What were the profits and limitations in all of this?

Clicking on (Infinity Warp), another data bar appeared: [Infinity Warp - A process that requires a tremendous amount of energy, energy equal to 1 million Pleasure points to achieve a warp worth 10 years of time. This is a process that will take a soul into the astral realm and throw it back into time, the time is moved back as much as the energy is provided. A soul could only go through this process once before becoming Eternal.]

Hmm... he closed his eyes as he circled everything around the proposition and soon came to a total conclusion about everything,

In simple words,

The system was advising him to travel back in time if he wanted to achieve his full potential on the path of Gifts, to become an Eternal. It was even offering him a free one-time assistance by helping him go through it for basically free.

But he was still, rather reluctant.

For one thing, he had doubts if all the abilities he had absorbed till now will work if he time travelled back.

And he was sure he will be weak for quite a long time if he couldn't do something drastic, as Gifts are only unlocked at the age of 15.

And then there was the whole thing about time travel felt surreal, was such a ridiculous deed even possible?

What about the butterfly effect? Grandfather paradox and similar details?

And even if he ignored all that, he was human, he had emotional bonds and other precious details — even though his mother, sister and Anna were the only things he was extremely unwilling to lose.

But still...

They won't be entirely separated from him after time travel since they will still be alive in that time period...

But since they won't remember their enjoyable experiences with him, were they really the same person?

He carefully considered his options. But all the thoughts inside his mind prevented him from immediately pressing "Yes." and travelling back in time.

Then all of a sudden, he had an idea.

He remembered an important person in his life whom he had forgotten. If Memories were the biggest issue infront of him now, first, let's deal with the memory issue.

He licked his lips, she won't mind a little intrusion, right?
