Asher’s whole body was now burning red, steam coming out of his body. Blood was pouring out of his body, staining his pants with a crimson red. Even though the Mana Room was removing any residual that came out of his body, the stench of iron was heavy in the air.
Asher was at the 4 hour, 30 minute mark. He had beaten his grandfather’s record and was on his way to set a new record. Arthur was happy to see his son’s talent. He was already thinking about Sylvie’s happy face when he told her about this.
Asher, who was focusing all his attention on cleansing, finally stopped at a total time of 5 hours and 12 minutes. He opened his eyes to feel his newly set foundation and stood up to move a bit. He knew he had outdone his previous self, who had lasted only 3 hours and 20 minutes. By no means that was bad – even a genius would last around an hour – and even in his previous life, Asher would have been in the spotlight. However, there were already quite a few highly talented youths who had lasted around or more minutes than Asher.
His generation was praised by the whole with the nickname of “Generation of Monsters.” Nobody knew why so many talented individuals were born in the same generation. But now, Asher had outdone those talents and also broken the record of his grandfather, Nathaniel Von Greville, who was also known as the Sword God.
“Congratulations, Arthur. Another monster like Nathan Greville has been born into your family,” Edward said to Arthur, gesturing with his hands in a wave-like motion towards Asher. Suddenly, all the blood-stained clothes were cleaned of blood, and all of Asher’s sweat was gone.
Asher nodded his head to appreciate Edward’s consideration and Edward just smiled back at him.
“But it seems like I need to tell Father about this before we announce it publicly,” Arthur said, taking some things into consideration.
“No need to announce it. Just tell it to Grandfather. I don’t want too much attention right now. It will be a fun surprise for the whole world when the World Academy starts,” Asher said with a smirk on his face while he was putting on his shirt.
“And Dad, I am quite tired from all this. Let’s go back home and discuss this issue at a later date,” Asher quickly said before Arthur could say anything, causing him to close his mouth.
“Sigh Okay, then we will do that,” Arthur said with a sad voice. He was very excited to announce his son’s heaven-breaking talent to the whole world, but he couldn’t do it if Asher was against it.
“And thank you, Mr. Edward, for your help this time,” Asher said, conveying his gratitude.
“Oh, don’t worry. This old man also got to see your monstrous talent,” Edward said while laughing.
Asher left the room, leaving Arthur and Edward who were chatting happily. He wanted to call out the system, but he waited until he reached his home, where he would not be disturbed. Him and Emmy left without Arthur because he would probably head back to his office before going home.
Asher reached the Greville Estate and told Emmy to make sure nobody disturbed his rest. When he got back in his room, though he was feeling very tired, he called out to check the system.
“System.”
[Congratulations to the host for completing the first Main Quest.]
[ Do you want to redeem the reward for your quest? ]
Asher was already waiting to check what he would get instead of his Rank S Bloodline Mana Control. Somewhere in his mind, he didn’t want to part ways with his Mana Control, but he knew to get stronger, he needed to sacrifice something.

” What happened?” Asher asked not knowing what was happening.
[ Host this bloodline you will get is too powerful to assimilate with your body ]
[ You will experience unimaginable pain which may render your brain useless and killing you in the process ]
[ Do you wish to continue ]
Asher already knew his answer he thought ‘ Pain? I have handled it my whole life ‘.
“Continue”
