Versatile System Online

"Bloodline? isn't that very normal? we all share a bloodline with our parents and forefathers", Ray said nonchalantly.

Though Ray's manner was nonchalant and his face devoid of any expressions, the same could not be said for Aurora. If she had a physical body, she would have vomited out blood due to Ray's words.

After all, how could Ray understand the importance of a bloodline? He was someone who looked at things from a scientific point of view. Always trying to find a logic behind everything he encountered, it could be said that Ray had little to no knowledge in matters such as bloodlines and as such.

"You don't know anything do you?", Aurora said with a hint of dejection in her voice.

"What do you mean by I don't know anything, I just told you a relatively brief description of a bloodline and what it entails for a human".

Aurora did not reply and remained silent. After all, she was unable to comprehend how someone with such good talent as Ray did not know such matters.

After all, anyone from System Online would have the same thought process as Aurora, for they did not know that Ray's whole life had been heavily influenced by science.

Although society had many wonders in this generation due to Systems Online, information regarding it was kept secretive until one joined an academy specifically created for System Users.

Seeing Ray's understanding of bloodlines being near to none, Aurora sighed.

"Okay!!, let me explain it to you", Said Aurora.

​ "Yeah sure go for it, I don't think there's much to know anyway", said Ray while not knowing how wrong he was in the ways of the world.

"Just listen okay, and don't interrupt me until I finish speaking", Aurora said irritated by Ray's carelessness towards such an important matter.

After all, Aurora's irritation was not due to Ray's lack of knowledge but to her having an idea of how powerful Ray's bloodline was. For she had seen it in action first hand.

"Bloodlines are something everyone possesses. However, there's a clear distinction between each bloodline. First of all, basic knowledge about bloodlines goes like this,",

Aurora then gave Ray a crash course on bloodlines,

"Bloodlines are nothing more than certain traits passed down a lineage by ancestors to their descendants",

"Furthermore, every bloodline differs from one another. Some are strong while some are weak. It all depends upon who the bloodline was passed down from. If a person with a very high aptitude for magic has children then the children and their children will inherit their ancestor's great magical aptitude which he had passed onto them through his bloodline",

After a short pause, Aurora continued,

"Meanwhile, a warrior with great physical strength would have its children and their children possessing their forefather's immense physical strength",

Ray on the other listened to Aurora with great concentration as he had realized from Aurora's earlier outburst about how wrong and uneducated he was in this direction.

After Aurora told him about this, Ray's horizons broadened but he could not help but ask,

"So if someone has an affinity towards the water element, their children will also have an affinity towards the same element??",

To this Aurora replied instantly, as if she had been waiting for Ray to ask this question,

"Nope, there's nothing fully confirmed. As you may have studied in science, when a mother gives birth to a child, that child has characteristics of both mother and father. For example, the child may inherit his mother's eyes while his hair would be like that of his father. Sometimes, some old genes also activate and could affect some of the offspring's characteristics",

"It's the same for magical affinities, a child could have a higher chance of inheriting either his mother's element or father's elemental affinity, but it's not written on a plaque for the child to have their affinities, that's because affinities act more like genes of a person and are adapted according to one's body",

"However, that's different from bloodlines, bloodlines do have specific affinities but such bloodlines are sparse while having special affinities is not the most important bloodline functions, the most important reason that makes bloodlines so powerful is bloodline abilities",

Ray nodded and asked,

"So you say that one could get any elemental affinity as it's more reliant towards one's body type while there's a larger chance to gain one which is of their parent, whereas, bloodlines are different from them and much more special as they contain their own set of special abilities that are a cut above the rest",

"Yes that's exactly what I mean, and the stronger the purity of one's bloodline, the more bloodline abilities they could unlock along their life", Said Aurora.

While Ray asked another question from her,

"Could you please explain what are bloodline abilities, they can't be like normal abilities can't they?",

"They could never! bloodline abilities are ancient abilities that correspond to different things and are one of the mysteries that no one has been able to find an answer to, only the one who awakens these bloodline abilities know about them",

"Furthermore, every bloodline has different features, abilities, and aura. Moreover, bloodlines are ranked with some being stronger than the other and having a different type of purposes as well",

"Oh and one last thing, there are many ways to gain a bloodline, one is by having outstanding cultivation to the point of being at a realm above immortality. The second is to have them attained through inheritances, the third way is to have them bestowed upon by divine beasts or beings with an unfathomable level of cultivation and power while lastly. It is to do so by consuming or stealing other people's bloodlines".

Aurora said she did all so without letting Ray question her. It was so he could understand and digest this information before questioning anything. That way, there would not be any unnecessary questions.

Ray, on the other hand, was digesting all of the information, and just as Aurora had predicted, Ray did not ask any questions for the information that had been dumped on him was monumental, and all the questions that arose within his mind were shoved at the back of his mind.

Ray sat in silence for a total of fifteen minutes. Analyzing and comprehending everything, he came to the summary that,

"You say bloodlines are anciently occurring that no one knows about, more so, there are different types of bloodlines for different purposes and as such. Furthermore, there are even different grades of bloodlines with some stronger than the others. Lastly, there are multiple ways to gain a bloodline, such as cultivating to the point to have one, by inheritances, by being bestowed upon by divine beasts and beings, and by stealing others' bloodlines",

"Am I right? Or is something missing",

Asked Ray,

To which Aurora enthusiastically exclaimed,

"Yes you are correct, it's no wonder you are so talented, in comprehending all of the information I told you and summarizing it in such a brief way, I'm impressed, Ray Xanders",

Listening to Aurora's praise about him, Ray got a little flustered but keeping his emotions in check, Ray asked,

"If it's just as you told me, then could you care to explain about how I got a bloodline and such a strong one that even you are confused by it? After all, there is no way I could have ancestors with god-like cultivation nor have I cultivated to such an extent".

Listening to this, Aurora grew silent,

" Ugh",

...
