The Bloodline System (Web Novel)

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

"If a participant receives three strikes, they will get disqualified,"

With this announcement, the faces of many participants flashed with a dark expression.

Handler one mentioned how a participant would be instantly disqualified if they were deliberately trying to kill or successfully murder another participant as opposed to it being a mistake.

After Handler one mentioned a couple more things...

Zhiinnn~ Zhiinnn~ Zhiinnn~ Zhiinnn~

Flourescent glowing doorways began to appear all over within this massive roofless Hall.

"Once you go through the light, you'll arrive within the venue but as mentioned earlier, you all will be scattered across the fourth disk," Handler one stated.

"Let the Viondur Egg Challenge begin,"

The participants began to move towards the glowing doorways closer to them. Despite Handler one mentioning they would end up in different places, groups still went in together.

As Gustav and the others moved towards the one closest to them, another group followed right after.

"It's time," Gustav voiced as they approached the light.

"Remember the plan guys," Aildris stated.

They all nodded with serious expressions.

"We'll be waiting for the link," E.E said to Gustav and they headed into the light.

"Gustav Crimson... you will pa..."

Gustav heard a familiar voice trail off as he disappeared into the light.

'...looks like someone intends to use the Viondur Egg challenge as cover to try to eliminate me,' Gustav thought as his figure continued to sink into the light.

("Looks like your nice streak ends here... I don't think you've gone this long without killing anyone,") The system replied internally.

'I don't intend to kill anyone still so stop with the instigation,' Gustav announced internally.

("Oh we'll see about that,") The system chuckled.

Gustav; 'Tch,'

In the next moment, Gustav found himself falling from a sky with ice clusters.

Bang! Bang!

His body slammed into some frosted clouds that remained in a stationary position in the sky.

Parts of them instantly came crumbling down.

("Looks like the fourth disk is extremely cold,") The system voiced as Gustav began to leap from ice cluster to ice cluster.

"Yeah, the North Pole pales in comparison to this," Gustav stated as he leapt off another icy platform.

Fwwhwiiiiii~

His body began to free fall unhindered and now he could finally spread his perception.

'An area of ice rocks... interesting," Gustav muttered as his senses spread across the vicinity.

He could sense the frost covered grounds and then multiple icy rocks scattered across the place as he descended. His senses were still spreading so he was slowly picking up on more of the terrain while descending from the sky.

"Hmm? There's fire?"

Bang!

Gustav soon landed on a two hundred feet fall icy rock, causing it to crumble.

"How is there fire in such a place?" Gustav turned to stare northeast as he sensed this.

From what he sensed, it wasn't coming from a person instead, the source seemed to be something unexpected.

This of course drew his attention as he turned in its direction and began to head there. The icy rocks mostly were around two hundred to five hundred feet. They weren't very tall.

Fwwhoosshh~

Gustav sped towards the direction he sensed the flames and arrived on a high terrain where he could spot a one thousand feet tall tree in the distance.

This tree was ablaze with blue flames that looked undying but the white leaves on them didn't seem affected in the slightest as well.

Gustav could see that right in front of the tree was the entrance to a completely ice cave where multiple icicles could already be spotted.

"Looks like I have company," Gustav muttered while squinting his eyes as he spotted three participants walking into the cave that seemed to lead further underground.

What was more unnerving was, they were teammates. It turned out these three had arrived here at together.

"So much for separation... some insane luck they have," Gustav muttered as he spread his senses further out.

Gustav perception was currently so great that he could cover up to three quarters of the earth, however the fourth disk was more than thirty times larger than earth.

With the current challenge, the dimensional expansion machine had been used to make it an even larger land mass. It was impossible to tell how big it was presently.

Despite how far, Gustav spread his senses, he couldn't find a single earth participant. Unfortunately, he discovered there were more participants in the vicinity who were headed in this direction.

"The eggs tend to be found easily underground than in other places..."

Gustav recalled one of the things Handler one mentioned as he glanced at the icy cave entrance up ahead.

Fwwhoosshh~

His figure disappeared down the path and into the cave in the next instant.

"Why the hell is it so cold?" Glade cursed as she conjured a red glowing jacket around her figure.

As she tried looking around all she could see was a thick layer of fog that affected her senses. All she could tell was, she was on a sloppy terrain.

Bam!

"Huh? Who the..." She was about to curse as her figure bumped into someone, when she noticed who it was.

"You again!?" Teemee voiced with a look of shock.

-"That's my line dweeb! How are you here too?" She questioned.

"Don't tell me we somehow got linked again because of that?" Teemee forehead scrunched.

"Yeah... it is the only explanation," Glade found herself agreeing with him.

"Hmph!" They both pouted before turning to face separate directions.

"We should get moving and at least gather something before Gustav link..." Teemee turned to the east and began walking forward.

While Glade turned towards the west and performed the same action.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

They both paused at the same time before turning around.

"Where are you going?"

"Bastard I should be the one asking you that?"

"Let's go this way,"

"No, let's go this way dummy!"

They both argued for a bit before doing a playing a game and finally deciding to head south.

"You lost," Teemee voiced as they walked away.

"You too idiot," Glade repllied while her tailed rose in frustration.

"Would it kill you to be more lady like?"

"Lady like? What's that? Is it a training regimen?"

Facepalm~

They both soon arrived outside the foggy area after traveling for a bit. Just as suspected, they had been on a sloppy terrain all this time.

As they arrived outside the fog, they realised they had been walking down a frosted hill.

At the bottom of the hill were, buildings of sorts made from ice. However, there weren't just buildings up ahead, there were also people.

Fwwhooo~

Both of them activated their bloodline at the same time, causing their bodies to emit reddish glows.

"You ready?" Teemee questioned.

"Yeah," Glade eyes squinted upon response.

"Let's go,"

##########

Atop what seemed like a frosted statue, a teenage looking kid with dark curly hair could be spotted in a squatting format.

He looked down upon a terrain filled with icy mountains. The frosted statue was shaped to resemble a bird with four massive wings.

It was very large and seemed to be resting on a mountain top as well.

"This reminds me of there..." The dark curly haired figure muttered.

A green dotted glow appearead on his forehead in the next instant along with a familiar voice.

"Indeed... but the Frosted Medieval Kingdom was a much pleasurable sight compared to this," Husarius voice rang out.

Bang! Bang! Boom!

The sounds of collision rang out as a battle played out in the distance.

"Well, this is to be expected since they landed together in a location that happened to have eggs on display in the frost," Endric voiced as he kept watching the battle between a couple of participants.

"Do you intend to take the eggs?" Husarius questioned.

"I do... Once someone wins," Endric replied.

"I hope you are aware that you are not the only one waiting," Husarius voiced.

"I am... In the end, it will be a matter of speed and timing," Endric responded once more while his eyes darted across the vicinity.

Bang!

"Talk about inconvenience," Aildris mumbled as he slowly retracted his fist from the gut of a white spider like creature.

"What a way to spawn right?" E.E replied from the side as snapped his finger.

Thirrhh! Bam! Thrriihh! Bam! Thrriih! Bam!

Six vortexes opened above them and creatures boxy parts began to fall from them.

Limbs, skull, teeth, internal organs and the likes, just kept raining down.

"You say it like its a video game," Aildris chuckled upon hearing E.E's response.

"I'm saying bro, there's no way these Handlers niggas didn't play games from earth," E.E voiced with an excited tone.

"Haha, that may be the case but then we have to gather any color of Eggs we can find before Gustav's link," Aildris reminded E.E of the most important aspect after they had finished dealing with the creatures in the vicinity.
