The Legacy System

Now that he finally didn't have to worry about the Legacy System anymore, and the contract he had was one of equivalent sharing, he didn't have to worry anymore.

So, he quickly took out that metallic-looking Dragon Egg that he managed to stumble upon on his way during his training trip in Africa.

In fact, all this time he had kept this thing hidden, and away from his Legacy System in order to create the best, and perfect body through the Blood Clone technique, but now he didn't have to.

With the new relationship between him, the Legacy System, and the beauty in charge of the Legacy System, he didn't need a new body, the one he had right now was perfect.

After all, no matter how great of a body he created for himself, it would still not belong to him, but just a body created through an ability, so some things were bound to be different.

But now that he didn't have to do that, he could just use this thing upon himself without having anything to worry about.

The only problem now was to understand how to use that damn egg, but considering his initial deal with his Legacy System, he quickly ordered his puppets to prick his right forefinger.

Just like the name suggested these piles of stones would never question his orders as the Leader of the puppets used the tip of his katana to prick Eric's finger.

Even though the katana only had a small percentage of iron in its composition, it still managed to do its job perfectly, as Eric's finger was pricked, and some red scarlet blood appeared in his finger.

Without losing time, Eric quickly took out of his pocket the small metallic egg, and then placed his pricked finger on top of it.

It looked like his blood had fallen into some kind of sponge, as it was sucked totally inside in a short moment of time, as Eric felt a new connection through his Soul Avatar.

But that wasn't all there was to it, as the Dragon Egg in his hand immediately floated from his hand, and then with a swish ran towards his Conscience Sea.

Eric clearly didn't expect something like this to happen, but he had no idea about what to do, and how to do it now, as he was even unable to protect himself.

If this thing turned hostile towards him, then he had no other option but to feel that he had died because of his greed.

Anyway, right now he didn't have time to dilly dally, as he returned his concentration inside his Conscience Sea was now despite the Divine Artifact that was the Legacy System, was that egg thing.

He didn't understand what was going on exactly. He only knew that whatever it was, was beyond his ability and knowledge to take care of.

So, he could only look at that egg thing with curiosity, fear, and a bit of uncertainty. But no matter how long he looked at it there wasn't any difference with that.

That made him feel quite complicated, as he didn't understand whether he had received a great bargain or had suddenly created a future disaster for himself.

There was no way for him to ask the Legacy System, or even that beautiful First Mistress that he had an Equals Contract with, as they were both in hibernation.

But since he felt no malicious intent from that metallic egg thing, he felt that it shouldn't be a bad thing. Well, even if it was there was nothing, he could do about it at that moment.

Thinking like that, he decided to forget about that thing at the moment, and then finally press that YES button on his evolution question.

The moment he did so, he felt some kind of warm current of energy slowly take for inside his abdomen, and then slowly pass through his meridians through all his body.

It was extremely soothing and comforting. He could feel that all the cells of his body seemed to be jumping in joy and happiness.

It was like each and every one of his cells was getting a small upgrade, by taking out all the waste elements inside his body and throwing them out in order to build sturdier, and better facilities.

He felt like he was getting blessed at that moment, as his whole body seemed to be happy and in joy.

He could feel that each and every one of his cells were getting stronger, and much more active, using the same source to produce more.

It seemed like the processing quality of his organism had been boosted by at least one time, which made him extremely happy.

He had to say that just that comfortable feeling during the evolution was enough to make any person wish for more of it.

If he had to describe in a crude way, then he would say that the comfort and warmth feeling of those moments was at least 10 times better than having climax during intercourse.

But just as he thought that everything was over, and that his evolution had finished, that Dragon Egg thing inside his Conscience Sea space suddenly started trembling, and if he wasn't mistaken it shrunk a bit.

That wasn't all there was to it though, as suddenly a droplet of blood appeared on its surface, and slowly started making its way down, and then falling off from the metallic lustrous egg.

Eric's Soul Avatar could only watch that happen, as the droplet of blood left no trail on its path, and fell down, but it wasn't stopped in his Conscience Sea.

It seemed like that drop of blood became illusory for a moment, passed through any kind of possible obstacle to finally reach his heart.

The moment it reached his heart, it suddenly stopped being illusory, taking a physical shape once again, and then falling directly in his heart, being sucked as if it fell on some kind of sponge.

At first, Eric didn't think much of it, as he thought that it was just a drop of blood, what big change could it bring to him.

But the next moment he felt like he would beat his stupid self like into a bloody state, that would make any other being tremble in fear.

"Motherfu…"

He wasn't even able to scream or shout in pain, as terrible heart-wrenching pain conquered his heart had suddenly been stabbed with a knife repetitiously hit his brain.

This wasn't the first time he felt pain, but this was the first time he felt a sort of pain, where he might die, or want to die, but was unable to.

That wasn't all, as right after getting stabbed feeling his whole body was under the expression of a strong fire-starting suddenly inside his heart and spreading through all his body.

He felt like each and every one of his previous evolved cells was suddenly cut in half and charred in a fire, as the comfortable feeling had disappeared completely leaving only pain behind.

He was unable to understand what was going on, as he could only clench his fists, and his teeth until blood was coming out of his gums, and his palms, and try to bear it with everything he had.

In a short amount of time, the fire and that pain had already spread through all his body, including his private area, which had almost sent him unconscious.

Only the Heavens know how he was able to hang on during that time, as he felt like his whole body had been set on fire, and he was being burned to a crisp.

In fact, that fire even started appeared outside of his skin, making him beet red, while his clothes were burned to cinders like they were nothing special.

It took him around half an hour of hanging in that pain, that finally, the pain started to recede, as he was once again hit by that comforting feeling of earlier.

He knew that it was almost impossible for him to have evolved once again, but he knew that his previous evolution was nowhere close to the second one.

If he had to compare them, then he would say with full confidence that what he had gone through the second time was at least 3 or 4 times better than the first evolution.

After that horrifying pain of a few moments ago, now he felt himself refreshed, and reborn. Like he was some different kind of person at the moment and couldn't help but look at the stats he had.

The moment he saw those stats though he felt like he had seen some kind of joke in front of him, and it felt like it was impossible to be real.

All the stats of his body had been multiplied by 8 times, it was just as he expected his evolution had cleaned up his body multiplying his stats by two, and that later evolution had multiplied them by 4.

Forgetting about his physical statistics he felt that if he tried to cut his skin with a normal kitchen knife there was a high probability that his knife would be broken, and his skin wouldn't be cut.

That was such a surprising idea and moment for him as he didn't expect that, not only that but he had also reached level 157, which was completely out of his expectation.

After all, even a High-Quality Body Tempering Liquid Potion could help him improve his body for 20 levels, but that drop of blood had made his body surpass the experience he had.

He was only level 157 because he didn't have enough Exp points or understanding. As his body was capable of supporting the strength of level 800 at the least…
