Chapter 416: First Reward

"Sign in location found. Do you want to sign in, host?" Nancy's voice resounded in the ears of our bored gamer.

'What... the... fuck?!'

'I have been wandering all over the city for nothing. Only to find my first sign in opportunity in my very own apartment.'

'You really know how to make a joke out of me, partner!'

Clark could not help but exclaim in his mind. He praised the ingenuity of the Heavenly Treasure Clay Brick but was helpless to do anything about this truth.

In the end, our bored gamer merely shrugged and accepted his fate.

'Please sign me in, Nancy.' Clark replied to his system's cue.

"Negative, host. You need to go inside in order to get the sign in rewards for today." Nancy said in a sorry voice.

'SIGH!'

'This place is more befitting to be called a coffin rather than a room.' Our good gamer sighed and twisted a key into his little apartment.

Caden was from the far province and was only in Rodon City because of a scholarship grant.

Since the city was an expensive place to live in, Caden had no choice but to survive in this hellish environment alone.

Surprisingly enough, Caden did not let his station in life beat him to the ground. He still carried life like he was the king of the world and was always strong in the face of hardships.

Caden remained smiling even amidst the great challenges that he had to confront on a daily basis.

'You were a worthy mortal, boy.' Clark praised the will and tenacity of the recently departed Caden.

A breath later, our bored gamer then squeezed his fat body into the room that practically resisted his entrance.

With a hard push or two, Clark then found himself into the tight space of his casket apartment.

There was only a single bed in the scene and our good gamer even had to bend low in order to enter.

"THUD!" Our bored gamer was able to lay down on the bed and could finally breathe freely for the first time since he entered the confines of this legal prison cell.

"And to think that that boy paid money to live inside this rat hole."

"Caden was a strong boy who was gone too soon." Clark whispered softly. There was no doubt that Caden would have made it big in life.

With how tenacious he was, the skies were the limit for such a tough kid.

"Though I can't bed the woman of your dreams but i promise that I shall take good care of your family, boy. At least this little thing i can do." Our bored gamer promised in Caden's memory.

One should know that Caden has parents and siblings back in the province and just like him, they were also living in abject poverty.

Caden had wished that he would be the first one to change their family tree and bring them towards a more comfortable way of life.

Since Caden was already gone, Clark would be the one to fulfill this wish instead.

"So... Can I have my first sign in now, Nancy?" Clark asked towards his handy system.

"Affirmative, host." Nancy responded positively this time around.

"DING!"

"Congratulations, host! You have been given 3 bloodlines to choose from."

1. Harpy – a supernatural creature that is known for its deadly talons and claws. (can fly after transformation)

2. Behemoth – an old monster feared for its mastery of lightning and thunder. (can turn into a 50 foot tall giant)

3. Chimera – a ferocious fire breathing magical beast. (can take the guise of a lion, a goat, and a serpent or a combined mixture of the three)

"Hmmm... So this is really a fantasy world."

"I believe that there will be angels and demons too somewhere in this vast fantasy universe."

"This will be an interesting world to conquer!" Our bored gamer was excited to see how these old monsters would bow before him in the future.

Unfortunately, the 3 bloodline picks that he was given was not very good at hiding themselves.

It would have been good if there was a necromancer in the mix or a summoner perhaps so that he could freely roam around this world without getting his identity exposed in the end.

"Can i choose another bloodline, Nancy?" Our bored gamer asked in order to find some ways around this problem.

"Negative, host. Those 3 bloodlines are given at random and the system cannot alter them at will." Nancy replied in an apologetic tone. Clark merely nodded in the next breath.

He was well aware that his system cheat was not the one who made the rules around here.

"So... can I, partner?" This time, our bored gamer's question was directed at his other op cheat inside his soul.

This was the real reason why this 3rd body of Clark was suffering in this god forsaken place. He still has many worlds to capture.

"..." The clay brick ignored our good gamer's request as always. No reply whatsoever. No hi or hello. Nada.

"Okay then. Let's have it your way, partner." Clark said and began to think about the pros and cons of each bloodline.

"The behemoth could make me big and tall but after that... what then?"

"I would assume that the speed of such a giant would be moderate to say the least."

"Even a little bunny could catch up with me in time. In the end, my identity would get exposed once I transform back into my human form."

"Perhaps the best aspect about becoming a Behemoth is its defense." Clark contemplated the behemoth bloodline first.

"A chimera would give me the elemental power of fire."

"I think that once I transform into a lion, I could also outrun most of my foes."

"But can i do that to everyone else? I doubt it." Our bored gamer continued.

"Sigh!"

"The weakest amongst the 3 is probably a Harpy."

"With only flight in his arsenal that may give some advantage against a behemoth and chimera, the harpy has no other redeeming gifts in store for me." Clark finished at this time.

He took a full minute of silence before he delivered his decision unto his loyal system.

"Nancy, please give me the..."
