BXBX NOVEL Chapter 34: New Races Possibilities
"System, show me my status," Lucas commanded, his tone calm but with an underlying edge of anticipation.
The system responded instantly, its voice brimming with smug eagerness, as if it had been waiting impatiently for this moment to flaunt its handiwork. [At last! Let me show you the results of my work, Host!] it declared, almost as if it were about to unveil a masterpiece.
[Name: Lucas Luxoria]
[Age: 13]
[Gender: Male]
[Race: Human/Void Creature]
[Physique: Void Physique]
[Class: Cultivator]
[Tier: 1 Star]
[Divine Scripture: Void Core Divine Scripture]
Lucas scanned the information displayed before him. Most of it matched his expectations, but something in the race column made him pause. "Void Creature?" he muttered, his brow furrowing in confusion. "What does that mean, System?"
The system\'s response was immediate, and Lucas could almost hear the smugness dripping from its voice. [Oh, that? It\'s your new race, dear Host!] the system chimed, as if it had just revealed a delightful secret. [You\'ve awakened the Void Physique and started cultivating the Void Core Divine Scripture, so naturally, your body is evolving into a Void Creature.]
Lucas felt a jolt of unease. "So, I\'m not human anymore?" he asked, concern lacing his words as he tried to grasp the full implications.
[Oh, relax!] the system retorted with a mocking chuckle. [You\'re still human… for now.] It added the last part with a tone that was almost teasing. [You haven\'t fully transformed yet.]
Lucas pressed on, needing clarity. "So, after I fully transform, I won\'t be human anymore?"
[Of course, yes!] the system confirmed, its tone growing more amused. [But don\'t start crying just yet!] It sneered, as if finding the idea of Lucas mourning his humanity amusing. [Even if you\'re not human, you\'ll still be able to keep that pretty little human form of yours.]
The system wasn\'t done yet—it seemed almost eager to continue. [Besides, a race change comes with perks! If you fully evolve into a Void Creature, you\'ll gain extra talents, and all those fancy void abilities of yours will get a nice power boost.] Its tone had shifted into something almost boastful, as though the system was proud of the transformation Lucas was undergoing.
Lucas, trying to ease the tension he felt creeping in, half-joked, "And I won\'t end up looking like some kind of monster, right?"
The system\'s response was immediate, snapping back with a tone that was both sharp and offended. [Please, Host! How dare you even suggest such a thing?] it huffed, as if Lucas had insulted its very core.
[Don\'t insult me. You\'ll keep your current appearance.] Then, almost as if it couldn\'t resist, the system added with a smug undertone, [Just… better.]
Lucas let out a slow breath, feeling a small wave of relief wash over him. The system\'s unwavering confidence, even if laced with arrogance, was oddly reassuring. "Alright, I was just worried for a moment," he admitted, nodding slightly as he tried to process the implications of his transformation.
But as his mind settled, another thought struck him. "System," he called out, a new urgency in his voice, "show me Lucy\'s status."
The system perked up instantly, its tone shifting to one of eager excitement, almost as if it had been waiting for this moment. [Sure thing, Host!] it responded, the words practically chirping with delight, as if thrilled to have another opportunity to flaunt its knowledge.
Lucas could almost picture the system rubbing its hands together in anticipation as it brought up Lucy\'s status. It didn\'t take long before the details materialized before him.
[Name: Lucy Luxoria]
[Age: 20]
[Gender: Female]
[Race: Human/Volcanic Dragon/Volcanic Titan]
[Physique: Molten Core Physique]
[Class: Cultivator]
[Tier: 1 Star]
[Divine Scripture: Volcanic Dragon Core Divine Scripture]
As Lucas examined her status, his eyes narrowed, noticing the multiple races listed under her name. It was clear that Lucy, too, was undergoing a transformation far beyond human. "So, System, what\'s happening with her? What will she become?"
The system\'s tone shifted to one of mild amusement. [Oh, I\'d love to tell you, Host, but even I can\'t predict her exact outcome,] it admitted, though there was no trace of worry in its voice. It almost sounded intrigued by the mystery.
[As she grows stronger, she\'ll naturally evolve into whichever race is most compatible with her abilities. And who knows? If we\'re really lucky, she might just mutate and merge all her current races into something entirely new! Wouldn\'t that be exciting?]
Lucas considered this for a moment, the wheels in his mind turning. "And what about me? Could I do the same? Fuse my human side with the Void Creature to create some new, powerful race?"
The system didn\'t even hesitate before scoffing at the idea. [Ha! You wish, Host!] it retorted, its tone dripping with skepticism. [Sure, it\'s possible, but let\'s be real—it\'s not going to be easy. In fact, it\'s probably beyond your reach. But hey, I\'d love to see you try!
Prove me wrong, Host.]
Lucas felt a spark of determination ignite within him. The system\'s doubt wasn\'t discouraging—it was a challenge. He smirked, a defiant glint in his eyes. "Just watch. I\'m going to become a new, mutated race in the future, with even more power than you can imagine."
The system responded with a mocking chuckle. [Oh, I\'m watching, Host. But don\'t disappoint me. You\'ve got a long way to go before you can even think about pulling that off.]
Lucas didn\'t respond immediately, but his resolve hardened with every word the system said. It might mock him now, but he was determined to prove it wrong—no matter how difficult the path ahead might be.
The system\'s final words lingered in his mind as he looked out into the dark forest. [Just remember, Host, you\'re aiming high. Don\'t fall short.]
