Rebirth of the Chaotic Patriarch
The silence after the disaster was almost sacred.
Death was everywhere — but among them, there was life... and now, something more: power.
Danilo gazed into the distance. The Tower of Chaos rose with a presence that seemed to defy the heavens.
Behind him stood his children and parents.
But something didn't feel right within him.
The seal on his chest began to burn softly. Then the warning came:
[System:] Incomplete Bloodline Detected. Initiating Full Integration of the Dark Monarch's Lineage.]
— "But I already used the lineage…" — he murmured.
[System:] Only 4% of the lineage had been absorbed. Preparing full integration. Warning: process will be extremely painful.
Before he could react, the pain overwhelmed him.
His body collapsed.
Every cell felt like it was on fire. His skin split open as dark energy erupted from within. His bones expanded. Muscles reformed like steel forged in fire.
He screamed.
His children and parents ran to him in panic.
— "Dad!"
— "Son!"
— "What's happening?!"
Danilo's body hovered slightly above the ground, as if it had become a vessel for something that didn't belong to this world.
And then… the change was complete.
When he opened his eyes, they were like bottomless abysses. His pupils, black as the void, pulsed with a dark, majestic presence.
His appearance… twenty years younger. Tall, imposing, muscular — with a supernatural beauty.
Danilo looked at his hands, took a deep breath… and laughed.
A laugh full of wonder — and power.
— "This… this is unbelievable."
His children approached, wide-eyed.
— "Dad…?"
— "It's alright now," he said, smiling.
His eldest daughter stepped forward, her eyes glowing.
— "What is this? How did you become like that?"
"Remember the bloodline I gained from the Monarch? It just fully activated."
— "Amazing! Can I change too? I mean, it's a bloodline and I'm your daughter, so… if I'm your daughter, won't I go through the same thing?"
Danilo raised an eyebrow.
— "It was horrible. Incredibly painful."
— "But was it worth it?"
— "…Yes."
— "Then I want it."
Danilo chuckled. He bit his finger and looked at his children and parents.
— "Why haven't you changed yet? I already shared the bloodline through the seal…"
[System:] Activation only occurs through direct ingestion of the patriarch's blood.]
— "So… if anyone drinks my blood, they gain the power?"
[System:] No. Only those officially granted the bloodline via the Patriarch's Seal. Otherwise, it's a lethal poison.
He took a deep breath and nodded.
— "Then let's do this the right way."
One by one, he offered his blood.
His three children accepted without hesitation.
His parents followed with steady, trusting eyes.
Then… it began.
Their bodies trembled, twisted, screams echoed.
The eldest daughter screamed, but did not step back.
The middle child sweated and groaned in pain.
The youngest squeezed his eyes shut, trying to endure.
The parents… wept, but did not give up.
And in the end — they all rose transformed.
Rejuvenated. Radiant.
The children now looked like teenagers — beautiful, imposing.
The parents… looked no older than thirty, healthy, strong. A reborn couple.
— "I feel... incredible!" — the father exclaimed, flipping in the air.
The mother rolled her eyes with a smile.
— "Childish old man…"
They all laughed together, celebrating.
Danilo simply watched — silent, but with a heart full of warmth.
That's when the system reappeared.
[Chaos System:] The Chaotic-level Patriarch Seal exceeds the current world's capacity. Temporarily downgrading to Golden Quality.
Patriarchal Seal Bonuses Reduced:
Healing: 10,000% → 300%
Mana: 10,000% → 300%
Luck: 10,000% → 300%
Danilo sighed.
— "Damn it! Why? Everything would've been so much easier. Still… this is more than anyone else in this world has."
His father ran and jumped again.
— "I'm young again… I feel lighter! It's like gravity never tripled!"
Danilo laughed with them — but a certainty had already taken hold of his heart:
"The old world has been wiped out...
But my bloodline, my clan, my new story — all of that begins now."
