Chapter 5: Sorting Myself Out

"Uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh...."

Staring at my Soul Scroll in front of me I don’t even know what to say, or where I should begin. Do I start with the new skills? My new strengths and weaknesses? Oh wait, I gained stat points? But how? From where?

’Hold on.... Was that the effect of my skill? I don’t remember it being able to do that. Has it changed? But why? Wait, was it because of my Bloodlines? Probably, I mean it’s the only thing that I can imagine that could have done this.’

Bloodline you are now able to gain stat points from digesting prey when using this ability. EXP and Stat points gained increases with each Level.]

’Okay, as I expected, my bloodline has indeed made this skill better.’ Smiling at this new addition to one of my best skills I decide I should probably start by using said stat points.

’Hmm... but which stat do I add them to? Speed is always good but I don’t want to run away from thing all my life. Adding it to Strength or Magic seems good but with these enchanted items from my parents, I don’t think I’ll be needing to increase them any time soon. Agility doesn’t need to be increased much nor does my charm. That leaves my Defence stats, my stamina and my SP, which I assume is for my soul.’

’Actually, what’s the conversion rates for stat points into actual stats, I would think that with my Bloodlines awakening the conversion would maybe increase.’

Pressing the next to the stat points a new scroll opened up in front of me.

’Hmm, seems like some of them have gotten cheaper and some have just increased gains as I expected. Now to choose where to distribute them... Stamina, SP or Defence, Or should I save them for now? Actually, looking at it again, the conversion for Strength seems to be a LOT higher than it was before, which makes it worth more in terms of value, Magic seems to have gone up as well but not by much, and Defence hasn’t actually changed. Hmm... am I being guided to gain more power somehow? Well, I did say that I wanted to stop running away so this makes sense. Alright then, I’ve decided to put my stat points into Strength.’

’This should be a start on my journey to become strong enough to survive this wasteland. Now then, what should I take a look at next? Uhh, there’s my soul, bloodline, my new affinities, weaknesses and skills and... No that’s it... What to look at first then? ... ... ... I guess I should save my soul for last as that appears to be the biggest change so that leaves my bloodline, skill affinities and weaknesses. Let’s start with my new affinity then.’

’Okay, pretty nice, I can gain EXP from having sex and doing sexual thing alongside an increase in pleasure for doing said acts, I like this. Now for the weakness.’

as well as a miniscule fraction of Gabriel’s power.]

’This is... Okay? I guess? I don’t really know how to feel about this as it doesn’t mean much to me, I mean what are the chances I’m going to encounter someone with this affinity? Anyway, I should take a look at my Bloodline next.’

’Who is this Ancient serpent? Also, WHAT THE FUCK?!?! MY DAD’S A PRINCE OF FUCKING HELL!?!? SINCE WHEN?!?!’

I start stuttering in my mind over this revelation as I stop moving to process this.

After having a minor panic attack, I managed to calm down.

’W-Well my dad did say he was a very important figure in hell, I just didn’t think he would be THAT important. Ughh.... Whatever, let’s just take a look at the skills this brought me.’

"This... This is amazing. I can supress those who loathed my existence, I-I can get revenge for mother with these." I cried as I said this, as these powers allowed me to go after the ones who caused my mother to die because of my birth, maybe not now, but I WILL get my revenge.
