Hearing Kyle's impatient voice the phoenix tried to move his head a little.

['It's because your bloodline is too powerful, and creatures like me usually awaken their bloodline after reaching adulthood, I am not sure about humans but I think you will awaken your bloodline when your body is fully mature.']

After hearing the Phoenix's words Kyle calmed down a little because there was still a way for him to awaken the bloodline. He was not sure when his body would fully mature but there was something he wanted to ask for a while now.

"Why are you telling me all this?"

['It's because I don't have much time left. I don't trust humans because they are greedy. But I think you are different, that's why I want to ask for a favor.']

The phoenix suddenly lifted his only injured wing and showed an egg to Kyle.

"This.."

['It's my child. I thought it would die with me today, but if there's any hope I don't want to let it go.']

Kyle was shocked once again, seeing a Phoenix was already a rare sight but now he was seeing a phoenix egg.

But suddenly he became serious,

"What if I didn't care for it? What if I sold it to someone? Why are you trusting me, there are so many kind humans out there."

['Human, If I am wrong in trusting you I can only blame myself for it.']

The Phoenix slowly pushed the egg toward Kyle with his injured wing.

['Put a drop of your blood on it, to make a connection with it.']

Kyle was hesitant but after considering it for a while he looked at the Phoenix before releasing a big sigh.

He did hear about some humans making mutual connections with monsters, where both parties rely on each other and help each other. But he never thought there would be a day he would get a chance like this. And on top of that, he was sure after the egg hatched it would have the potential to reach (S)-Rank.

Kyle walked towards the egg and pricked his finger to put a drop of blood on it. The moment his blood touched the egg, it shook slightly and a small red fire mark emerged on the back of his hand.

After looking at the fire mark he picked up the egg, it was small not even fitting his fist. Through the mark, he was able to sense a small connection with the egg.

He tried to place it inside the storage ring but he was not able to, because living things can't be placed inside storage rings. After trying for a while he took out a small bag and put the egg inside before tying the bag to his waist.

The Phoenix sensing that Kyle picked up the egg showed a relieved expression.

['Thank you.']

['This is a little something I want to give you as a gift.']

A small drop of blood appeared in front of the Phoenix before floating toward Kyle.

"What's this?"

Kyle looked at the drop of blood floating in front of him. It was not exactly blood because it was glowing. He didn't know why the phoenix called it a gift but if it's a gift it's probably useful.

['My blood essence, it won't help you much but it will reduce the suppressing effect of your bloodline.']

After saying some final words the Phoenix closed his eyes. Red flames emerged out of thin air before burning his whole body.

Kyle was startled suddenly seeing flames engulfing the Phoenix, he wanted to help but before he could the floating drop of blood entered his forehead. The moment it happened Kyle felt stinging pain inside his head. The last thing he remembered was seeing the burning red flames before he lost consciousness.

.....

"Ugh..." Kyle tried to move his body only to feel pain in almost all parts of his body.

He looked around and found himself lying in the same place he was standing last night. Kyle questioned himself with uncertainty,

"Was it a dream?"

How can so much happen in a single night? But after seeing the egg tied on the waist, he knew it was not a dream. The Phoenix was nowhere to be seen not even a trace of his body.

And strangely for some reason, Kyle was not feeling hot anymore. After standing up he walked out of the cave only to see the sun burning brightly in the sky.

"It's already morning.. Ugh why is my body hurting so much"

He started stretching his body to lower the pain. While stretching he felt his muscles were stronger than before. Suddenly remembering the last words the Phoenix said Kyle mumbled with disbelief,

"No way."

Thinking about the possibility his heart started beating excitedly and he nervously looked at the stats from the corner of his eyes.

Kyle thought he was dreaming before he shouted with excitement,

"My rank jumped! Not just one but two sub Ranks."

He looked at his talent and was once again struck with shock.

"(SS)-Rank! No way.. and it's still suppressed."

He was already happy with (SS)-Rank talent, but seeing how it was still showing suppressed, he was not sure what his Rank would be after he awakened the bloodline. Also, he saw the skill he got from the Phoenix which maximized his happiness.

Kyle jumped with excitement, he wanted to shout and tell everyone but he calmed his raging heart. He still had a long way to go before he truly became someone strong.
