Why Should I Stop Being a Villain
Why Should I Stop Being a Villain - Chapter 13: New Bloodline

[ Host, the system will create a sound barrier around you ]

[ I wish you good luck ]

A circular, translucent barrier formed around Asher as he sat down with his legs crossed.

[ Initializing... Bone Marrow Replacement... 0.9%... ]

Asher felt so much pain that even his indifferent face showed lines forming on his forehead.

Asher's bone marrow went through massive changes as a black mana erupted around him, assimilating with the bone marrow tissue and changing it.

[ Commencing Bloodline Injection... 1% ]

A chilling, light blue energy erupted and forced its way into Asher's Mana Heart, moving up towards his spinal cord to his brain. At the same time, a boiling red energy emerged and moved towards his abdomen, heading towards the blue energy.

Asher's brain was experiencing two polar energies that were not harming it, but the pain he was experiencing was too much. Asher thought the system didn't take his past life into account when it said he would need to endure pain, but he didn't know the system had warned him after carefully assessing him.

"ARRRRRRRghhhAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Asher screamed in pain for the 'second time' in his life. He was no longer in a meditating position, but rolling on the floor and clutching his head so hard that blood started pouring out. He no longer maintained his indifferent expression as his eyes rolled back. His back arched off the floor and his toes ground against it.

His sanity was fading with each passing minute as the system's warning about the possibility of death during the process proved true. His mind went blank and he couldn't even hear his own screams anymore. But just before he lost consciousness, he heard a sound: dingding*

[ Bloodline Acquisition Successful... Recalibrating Host's Stats... ]

[ Congratulations, Host. You have done a remarkable job ]

"coughcough* gasp gasp" He was gasping for air.

Asher was still coughing up blood as he moved to sit on his bed. His mind was numb from what had just happened, and he didn't even hear the system notifications. His breathing was ragged.

[ Removing sound barrier ]

Asher saw that his wounds around his head and face were healing. It seemed that the pain he endured was worth it, especially considering his new regeneration rate. This type of healing was only found in B-Rank hunters and above, and Asher, who had just recently awakened at Rank G, was now capable of doing the same.

In this world, hunters were ranked from G to SSS, with only 11 SSS-Rank hunters. They were ranked based on their ability to perform in similar Rank Dungeons and their Mana Core Rank. As you may have a Mana Core of Rank B but your combat ability and utility were taken into consideration while giving you your ranks.

After gathering his nerves, Asher called out to the system to check his new bloodline.

"Aahaha ah ahahahahahh AHhahahaHAHAHahhah" Asher started laughing as he saw his new bloodline ability.

"Truly fitting for a villain like me."

But while he was looking at his newfound ability, he noticed that his previous bloodline skill, Mana Flow, was still there.

"System, did you make a mistake?"
