Lide didnât expect the players to actually come.
1095 days, exactly three years in-game time.
âGloryâ particularly emphasized in its promotion that the time ratio between the game and reality was 1:3, with one day in reality equating to three days in-game.
Lide had originally thought the game company was merely exaggerating. After a year in reality and the game being live, now seeing over a thousand days on the game panel, he didnât imagine it would be true.
So, did I cross over to the game three years early?
For a moment, Lide felt a bit excited.
At the start, I became the Ancestor of the Bloodline, with hundreds of underlings, and Iâm also a level 10 Advanced Mage. Isnât this a bit too much?
But itâs fine, the more excessive, the better. I like it.
After his excitement subsided, Lide turned his attention to the attribute panel.
The skills listed there immediately got his heart racing.
He had three main categories of skills.
First, there were the Talent Specializations, three skills in total.
Talent Specialization: Bloodline Ancestor (Unique), Bloodline Shackles (Limited), Magic Affinity (Extreme)
Bloodline Ancestor: You are the Ancestor of the Bloodline, possessing a powerful lineage that can resist sunlight. You can develop one Bloodline each month, all Bloodlines and their descendants will maintain absolute loyalty to you. Each Bloodline can provide you with 1 character experience point per month.
After reading the skill descriptions, Lide felt a bit excited. Absolute loyalty, this attribute was simply domineering.
His worry was completely put to rest; even if he acted out of character, this âabsolute loyaltyâ attribute meant it wouldnât matter.
Of course, whether this loyalty was the unconditional kind he imagined or one where they could still think independently but sacrifice without hesitation, he needed to verify.
Furthermore, the attribute of gaining 1 character experience point per Bloodline each month was highly practical.
The difficulty of gaining character experience in âGloryâ was extremely high, as mentioned on the official website.
Although he was now only level 10, an Advanced Mage, in a city with millions like Green City, he could walk horizontally.
Bloodline Shackles (Limited): As the Bloodline Ancestor, you have absolute control over Bloodlines. You can manipulate them through Bloodline Shackles, issuing commands ingrained in their blood.
Controlling Bloodlines through bloodline manipulation, the description gave Lide an even stronger domineering feeling.
The control ability of the Bloodline Ancestor over the Bloodline was simply invincible.
Especially, the ability to issue commands dissolved into the blood made Lide ponder greatly.
He keenly felt that this skill would definitely be highly useful in the future.
The last Talent Specialization.
Magic Affinity (Extreme): Your affinity for magic has reached its limit, allowing you to manipulate magic at will.
Very straightforward and powerful but also very effective.
It clearly told Lide that he was destined to be a mage and shouldnât think about other things.
According to the âGloryâ official website, each person could only choose two Talent Specializations when selecting a profession.
But Lide now had not just an extra one but three, and each was incredibly powerful.
The second skill category was Racial Skills.
Racial Skills differed from Talent Specializations in that they were related to race, while Talent Specializations were more about personal talent.
The Bloodlineâs Racial Skills were three highly practical skills.
Bat Transformation: You can transform into 100 small bats, each containing 5% of your strength. As long as one bat remains, you can be reborn. You can also morph bat wings for flight, at 50% of the small batsâ speed.
Blood Absorption Recovery: Bloodlines can recover physical strength, magica power, and spirit through blood absorption.
Super Strong Physique (passive): The Bloodline Ancestor has a powerful physique.
Powerful, Lide finally directly felt just how strong the body of the Bloodline Ancestor he occupied was.
Super strong physique, Magic Affinity, this was simply divine for dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.
In terms of potential, even the hidden professions briefly mentioned on the âGloryâ official website couldnât compare.
The third skill category was Mage Skills.
Mage Skills ranged from low to high in First Circle Magic, Second Circle Magic, Three Circle Magic, Four Circle Magic, Five Circle Magic, Forbidden Curse, Divine Arts.
Lide, now a level 10 Advanced Mage, mastered around ten First and Second Circle Spells, three Three Circle Spells, and could only learn Four Circle Spells at level 15 as a Great Mage.
As for Five Circle Spells, only level 20 and above Extraordinary Mage were eligible, so Forbidden Curses and Divine Arts were out of reach for the current Lide.
Yet for some reason, Lide saw no warrior skills.
In âGlory,â each person could have two professions, but the secondary professionâs level could only be half of the primary professionâs and would face double the experience penalty.
Lideâs attribute panel showed a level 5 warrior profession, but only mage skills.
After recalling briefly, Lide couldnât help but laugh.
The Bloodline Ancestor was an unequivocal magic enthusiast, believing magic to be the most powerful and dismissive of the warrior profession.
The secondary profession was set as a warrior because of the Super Strong Physique from the race talent, aiming to maximize this potential.
With a sigh in his heart, Lide thought the Bloodline was truly a blessed race, except for the weakness to sunlight, it was overwhelmingly powerful.
But now, with the bug-like talent specialization of the Bloodline Ancestor, the weakness to sunlight was gone too, making it overwhelmingly strong.
Knock knock knock~
A knock on the door interrupted Lideâs thoughts.
âLord Lide, are you inside?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A voice as charming as a nightingaleâs came through the wooden study door into the room.
The girl outside spoke a different language, entirely unlike Chinese, but Lide could completely understand.
He instinctively answered.
âI am.â
As the words left his mouth, Lide was a bit surprised. This wasnât Chinese, but he spoke it fluently.
âIt must be from inheriting the original bodyâs memories.â
Breathing a sigh of relief, he thought that although he had inherited the Bloodline Ancestorâs memories, many everyday habits werenât easy to change.
Now, having inherited not just attributes but also the language, there was no problem.
Tidying up the slightly disordered blue mage robe on his body, his two tusks had already turned into regular teeth, though his face was still somewhat pale, his spirit had improved greatly.
Straightening his chest slightly, he opened the door.
Creak~
The door opened, and a young girl in a blue mage robe appeared before Lide.
The girl had a slender and graceful figure, with a height of 1.7 meters exuding an outstanding aura.
Her big watery eyes were like a goddess raising a torch, with light flickering inside.
Her petite and delicate features on a fair and tender face, with a thick smile.
Her slightly wavy golden hair cascaded over her back like waves.
Such a delicate girl.
Lideâs eyes brightened.
âLord Lide, lunch is prepared for you, would you like to dine in the study or the dining room?â
With a sweet smile, Wina said in the softest voice.
As the Tower Master of this Magic Tower, an elite member of the Green City Magic Association, Lideâs presence was like the sky in this Magic Tower, holding absolute power and unquestionable authority.
Wina was chosen half a year ago as a Magic Apprentice due to her excellent magic talent at the Crimson Mage Tower and has been taking care of Lideâs daily needs since then.
A maid had many duties, especially within the Magic Tower, sometimes even warming their masterâs bed.
