Ancestral Lineage
In a realm where power is determined by affinities—elemental forces that shape magic, combat, and survival—Ethan is an anomaly. While most people are born with a single affinity, Ethan stands apart, wielding a vast range of abilities granted by a mysterious Ancestral-line System. This unique system taps into the untapped potential of his vampire and dwarven bloodline, unlocking ancestral powers far beyond the norm.
At just 18 years old, Ethan's journey begins when he accidentally awakens this system, discovering that he is the heir to a forgotten lineage that blends the strength, resilience, and mysticism of both vampire and dwarven ancestors, a perfect hybrid of both. Though he must awaken and evolve to harness their power. However, the more power he gains, the more he learns about the dark secrets of his lineage—secrets that others would kill to possess.
Unlike everyone else, Ethan's affinities are not innate; they are granted by the system based on his bloodline’s ancient heritage. As he levels up, he acquires abilities that no one in the current era has ever seen: the Psychic powers of telekinesis and telepathy from ancient vampire lords, the earth-shaping skills of dwarf warriors, and a host of hidden abilities that challenge the world’s very understanding of magic.
But power comes with a price. Ethan quickly finds himself targeted by powerful factions and hidden enemies who fear what his bloodline could mean for the balance of the world. Ancient forces tied to his ancestry awaken, each with their own agenda—some seeing him as a threat to be eliminated, others as a tool to be used.
Accompanied by a diverse group of companions, each with their own affinities and secrets, Ethan embarks on a perilous journey. Together, they traverse beast-filled forests, ancient ruins, worlds and perilous dungeons, all while facing foes who seek to exploit or destroy Ethan’s unique powers. Along the way, bonds are forged, fates are entwined, and the line between friend and foe blurs as Ethan learns that his destiny is far greater than he ever imagined.
But with every new ability comes a deeper question: What is the true purpose of the Ancestral-line System? As he battles monstrous creatures, rival affinity users, and ancient curses, Ethan must confront the reality that his bloodline holds the key to either the salvation or the destruction of their world or something else entirely.
In a world governed by affinities, Ethan’s unmatched power sets him on a path that could change everything—or lead to his downfall.
Will he master the secrets of his ancestry and forge his own fate, or will the weight of his heritage drag him into the depths of a history best left forgotten?

Hello author! I'm leaving a review. The story is good and interesting. The humor is also on point and I already like the two idiots. The only problem is that, you sometimes go too far in your paragraphs, making them long. And sometimes, it feels rigid, like AI. Maybe you use ai for grammar checks but apart from that, this book is very good. I'm new on Webnovel and this is one of my first reads and I must say, I'm very impressed. Good luck
It's an intriguing story with well written characters. I highly recommend it.
Quite the book, love the plot and how it's so simple to follow, definitely recommended.
First of all the approach of a second mc seems interesting and I have not seen this very much. It is a breath of fresh air and the story seems fun and serious at the same time. I am excited for more and recommend others to try it
The story is exciting with suspense and good expansive plots. I recommend you to read it
You gotta fear the authority of the principal I say. Anyway, your written is superb.
This novel excels in its intricate world-building and the dynamic evolution of Ethan's character. With each new power he acquires, the stakes rise, drawing him into a web of ancient secrets and formidable foes. The story masterfully balances action, suspense, and the deeper question of identity and legacy, making it a compelling read from start to finish.
Definitely an intriguing story, the plot is interesting and the way it’s described is pretty simple and easy to understand and doesn’t rushed up. Will keep reading
I like the story of how the MC's power will grow along with the power of his friends. I feel that this story also does a good job of depicting friendship, rivalry, and love.
First off, having a second main character is such an interesting approach—I don’t see that very often. It’s honestly refreshing! The story strikes a great balance between being fun and serious, which makes it even more engaging. I’m excited to see where this goes and definitely recommend others give it a shot!
🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 I feel like I can relate. 🙏🙏😂😂😂
An intriguing story with a system of magic that can rule your place? A Mc that grows stronger and stronger? And humour just the way we like it? This novel has it all! A good story, I can't recommend it highly enough, so go for it!
Nice cover image👌😁😉. I'm going to start reading. The tags are all my favorites, hope it is as it says. The reviews and character images are also very catchy, I'm very interested in it now. Good work author and I hope, the story is as good as the synopsis depicts.
So far, the story has been very fun to read, with vivid descriptions, and amazing characters (very likable), the dialogue is well-written and relatable, and the humour is actually funny and not forced. It might start with ordinary at first but the execution is done very well! Keep readers wondering about and wanting for more. This has a fantastic promise! Feel like dark ver. of Harry Potters hehehe.
