Alex picked up the vial, the High Human Bloodline, the liquid inside glowing like liquid fire. Just holding it made his heart pound faster, as though it was calling to him.
"...If this can give me strength, I'll take it."
Without hesitation, he uncorked the vial and drank it in one gulp.
The moment the liquid touched his throat, his body erupted in heat. It wasn't just warmth—it was a raging inferno tearing through his veins.
He gasped, clutching his chest, collapsing to the floor. His vision blurred, and then…
BOOM!
A surge of light burst from his body, shaking the room. His blood felt like it was rewriting itself, his very DNA screaming as something ancient awakened within.
System messages flashed rapidly before his eyes:
[Ding! Host has successfully absorbed the High Human Bloodline.]
[Bloodline Awakening: 3% … 10% … 25% … Complete.]
[Congratulations! Host has awakened the potential of a High Human.]
As the light faded, Alex opened his eyes. They gleamed faintly with silver-gold sparks, his senses sharper than ever before—he could hear the fluttering of Pidgey wings outside, the faint buzz of electricity from the neighbor's house, even the heartbeat of his own chest steadying.
He stood slowly, trembling with adrenaline. He was no longer an ordinary human.
The system's voice echoed in his mind, almost like a divine proclamation.
[Bloodline Awakening Complete.]
[High Human Traits Unlocked:]
1. Enhanced Body – Strength, speed, and reflexes far surpass normal humans. Even untrained, the host can fight on par with seasoned athletes.
2. Aura Sensitivity – Host can naturally sense and project aura, allowing communication with Pokémon on a deeper emotional level.
3. Psychic Affinity – A dormant psychic potential, waiting to be trained. Telepathy, telekinesis, and perception will awaken faster than normal humans.
4. Lethal Charm – The High Human bloodline exudes a natural, instinctive attraction to the opposite gender. Prolonged exposure may lead to obsession or devotion.
5. Unlimited Stamina – Host's energy does not burn out. Whether in battle, training, or… other activities, fatigue will never overwhelm him.
6. Longevity – Aging slows dramatically. The host may live centuries, appearing youthful even as decades pass.
Alex staggered, his breathing heavy, but he felt invincible. His fists clenched and unclenched with raw energy, his aura faintly glowing around him. This wasn't just rebirth—it was ascension.
And then the panel blinked again:
[Ding! Host is now qualified to use "Identifying Eyes." Would you like to activate them?]
Alex steadied his breathing, the system's prompt floating before him.
"Activate them," he whispered.
[Ding! Identifying Eyes Integration Initiated.]
A surge of energy shot straight into his eyes. For a moment, his vision went white-hot, like staring into the heart of a sun. Then it cleared—and the world looked… different.
Colors shimmered where none had existed before. Every object had an aura. The air itself seemed alive, flowing with invisible energy. He blinked, and text overlays appeared automatically when his gaze focused.
He looked at his own reflection in the window:
[Host: Alex]
Race: High Human (Awakened)
Bloodline Awakening: 25%
Potential: ??? (Beyond measurable)
Stamina: Infinite
Lifespan: Extended – Estimated 500+ years
His heart skipped. This is insane.
Then his gaze shifted to the Mysterious Egg lying on his bed. Immediately, glowing lines of data appeared:
[Mysterious Pokémon Egg]
Status: Healthy
Estimated Hatch Time: Unknown
Species: ??? (Cannot be Identified – Bloodline Concealment Detected)
Energy Signature: Extremely High (Divine/Legendary Class)
Bond Affinity: 100% (Bound to Host upon hatching)
Alex's hands trembled as he touched the egg. Whatever was inside wasn't ordinary—it was something destined for him alone.
The system chimed once more:
[Ding! Host's journey has officially begun.]
