13 Harvest Festival 1 (1/2)
The next morning, Seran woke up as the sun entered the window, groaning as he sat up and stretched.
[Good morning, Seran. The bloodline modification went perfectly. You are now a Greenwood family member, as is Fenmore. Because of the changing of some of your genes via the bloodline, your skin tone and physique changed a bit. For some reason, your hair and eyes overpowered the new genes, so you're still pretty close to being albino. Fenmore's genes changed more than yours, but his eyes remained the same. Apparently, they're special as well. His hair changed to the regular hair color of the Greenwoods though.] William did his usual update on how things went for modifications, along with what changed. [Other than that, you've unlocked an achievement and a new questline.]
”Really? What are they?” Seran wasn't that surprised about his hair and eyes staying the same. Unique colors tend to be magical in nature in this world, so they were definitely special.
[The achievement was 'Humble Beginnings'. Now that you have truly gained a home and a place to grow from, you have taken the first steps to become a king. As a reward, you have been given 2 random bloodlines, 100 Gacha tickets, 1000 points of all 3 kinds, and 5 random abilities. As you were asleep when it happened, the bloodlines and abilities were already chosen and assimilated. You gained the Poseidon and Terra Bloodlines. I'm not surprised you got the God of Water's bloodline with your Divine-grade affinity, though. Your abilities were [Infinity], [Spell Creation], [Array Mastery], [Ageless], and [Ability Manipulation]. [Infinity] is the same as the unique power of Merlin from the universe of Nanatsu no Taizai, which I didn't expect to be a part of this system... The next 3 are pretty simple to understand, while the last one, [Ability Manipulation], gives you the power to create, manipulate, remove, change or whatever else, the magical or supernatural energies/properties in all beings that give them their powers, including you yourself. Therefore, you are able to give anyone any ability, remove any ability, and who knows what else.]
”What the fuck!? Those are some insane things! All from actually getting a real home? Damn, I love this administrator status... What's the questline?” Seran was already having trouble keeping calm, so as not to wake up Fenmore, who looked positively adorable in his sleep.
[The questline is pretty simple, yet complex. It's also kind of vague without steps. It's just 'Kingdom Creation'. The only major goal is to 'transform Greenwood Village into a true kingdom.']
”Oh dear, this will be difficult already. How am I supposed to do that? I mean, I know I have the system and you to help, but it doesn't give me any guidelines...”
[Currently, the most important thing you need to deal with is the elves. You need a way to speak with their queen. Speaking their language is easy with your Omnilingualism, so you have no need to worry about that part.]
Seran began to ponder what to do going further when he heard Fenmore groan and rub his eyes, to which he smiled, ”Morning, sleepyhead. How do you feel?”
The cute boy yawned, ”Sleepy... and hungry...”
The older lad ruffled his hair and got up, ”Come on, little brother, time to give dad a hug!” Hearing this perked up the sleepy boy, who almost tore out of the room.
As he walked out of the room after Fenmore, he heard what sounded like a thud, a loud burst of laughter, and a giggling boy. Etienne, who had just been tackle-hugged by Fenmore, was giving his new youngest son a hug on the floor, ”Good morning to you too, little Fen. Are you happy?” After getting an affirmative from the joyous child, he said, ”That's good. I don't want my little boy to be sad.” After managing to get his giggling youngest off of him, he spotted Seran making his way over to give him a less violent hug, ”Good morning, Seran.”
”Good morning, dad. I'm sure Fen gave you quite a wake-up call.” Seran smiled at his little brother, who cheekily stuck out his tongue and ran off to Eleanor's house. ”I bet nan will be thrilled to see Fen.”
”Knowing her, she will be very happy... provided he doesn't try tackling her too.”
”As happy as he is, he won't try that. He'll just give her a very big hug.” Seran chuckled a little, ”Today is the start of the harvest, right?”
”It is. The children won't be able to help with the harvesting, but you'll be needed. With your sword skills, you can replace several scythes for harvesting. If you make all the crows evolve, then it'll take far less time to transport everything to the storage house.”
