Blood Assimilation

<Welcome back to the Virtual Sacred Realm>

<Would the player like to return to your last departed location?>

[Yes/NO]

"No." Randy replied.

<In that case, then please select the location where the player would like to enter from>

After stating so, the screen projected from the virtual helmet suddenly refreshed and soon, there were many options to pick from, like the training room that he always used and the actual virtual world locations. 

However, Randy was not interested in playing the role playing game part of the virtual world, instead, he was more interested in the virtual duel where one can be pit against opponents from different professions to test out their abilities, skills, and techniques. 

It is the most useful method to hone one's skills in general. And of course, there was a ranking system for those who defeated most opponents and one can even attract some universities using this method of achieving fame.

'I can't wait to test out my profound fist technique. In any case, it doesn't matter if I lose since right now, I only wanted to test out my skill level with the technique.' 

Randy silently thought in excitement, and with a wide grin on his face.

'I should pick the virtual duel option. But still, this virtual machine really is a top of the line achievement of humanity. I also remember that this virtual machine can basically create an avatar that looked exactly the same as the player and it was hard to differentiate it from the real person.' 

Randy thought in admiration and then suddenly realized something.

'Wait, if that is the case, then wouldn't my face be displayed to the whole world due to the recording feature of the virtual duel system. For some reason, only the virtual duel system had this feature of recording, not even the actual role playing game had this kind of recording feature. For now, I don't want to be on display and for everyone to put me on a pedestal of their own choosing… if only I could buy some equipment to hide my face, then that would be great… wait, hide my face? Now that I think about it, don't I have an ability to change my appearance? Although I haven't test it out yet, but it wouldn't hurt to try it out now before I enter the virtual world. That way, even if they see my face, they could not connect it to me as that would technically not be me."

With that thought in mind, Randy concentrated his mind and soon, his personal system's display came into his mind. After looking at one of his skills, he concentrated on activating it. 

Randy suddenly felt the whole world receding from his vision, even the virtual machine that he was currently lying in was nowhere to be found in sight. 

There was complete darkness. 

A total and complete darkness, before all of sudden, there were different colors of lights shinning in the distance. These lights range from red, blue, yellow and many other colors.

Randy thought of approaching these lights and before he knew it, he was already standing in front of one of the lights. 

This light was glowing in blood red color and for some reason, Randy felt something familiar about this blood red light and without hesitation, he quickly reached his hand to grab the glowing red light. 

As soon as he grabbed it, the blood red light glowed blindingly bright until it suddenly scattered and then absorbed into Randy's body and before Randy could realize what had just happened, he suddenly found himself back inside the virtual machine.

'How strange… why did activating the Ancestral Regression lead to such a scene and what are those lights?' Randy thought in confusion.

He really was mystified by this sudden occurrence from just activating the skill that he thought was simply a transformation skill with some benefits in the form of obtaining a possible bloodline ability.

[[Ancestral Regression Skill fully Activated]]

[[Ancestral Bloodline had been selected]]

[[As the selected 'Ancestral Bloodline' had now became your dominant bloodline, the host's outward appearance had been altered slightly, thus gaining an 'Ancestral Form'. Furthermore, some of the host's base abilities had also changed or improved in according with this selected 'Ancestral Bloodline']]

[[From now on, when the host uses any blood related abilities, it would be further enhanced by this Ancestral bloodline's ability]]

[[Reminder: The duration of this 'Ancestral Form' is indefinite, however your 'Blood Energy' and vitality would be consumed rapidly whenever the host uses the enhancement effects of this Ancestral Form with your current level of strength]]

The system announced after he had activated the Ancestral Regression skill for the first time since he acquired it. 

At this moment, Randy did not bother to check his appearance since he was assured from the system's words just now that his appearance had indeed change and so, nobody should recognize him even if he were to go wild in the virtual world. 

And also, Randy did not feel any different after obtaining this ancestral form, which was unlike the werewolf form where his body mass increased slightly with his already buff up muscles getting more vigorous. 

With that thought in mind, he immediately selected the virtual duel system to commence his training session.

<You have selected the Virtual Duel System>

After hearing this notification, Randy soon felt his vision blur for a brief moment, losing consciousness and when he opened his eyes again, he was standing in some space of complete whiteness. 

He had never come here before since he had always selected the training room system where he will be transported to a random room full of training puppets that one can practice their techniques on until they gain some proficiency.

The proficiency gained in the virtual training room would somehow also affect your comprehension towards the said technique when executing the practiced technique in the real world. 

After looking around and seeing nothing but white, suddenly the virtual system's notification appeared in front of his eyes again.

<Does the player wish to select the opponent you will be facing>

[Yes/No]

Randy thought for a bit and then replied: "No."

Naturally, one can talk in this virtual world since this is a manifestation of one's consciousness through some unknown method.

<Then would the player wish to be randomly assigned to another player>

[Yes/No]

"Yes." Randy quickly replied. 

He does not want to fight someone he knows…

Well, more like he does not know anyone in this virtual world besides maybe his classmates who probably also use the virtual machine. 

But nonetheless, Randy wanted to fight against random opponents as that was more practical than fighting someone he already knows.

And very soon, the virtual system prompted him again with a new line of text.

<Please select your equipment>
