"Holy..."
Victor noticed his hair...
It was no longer fully black.
A large portion of it—roughly half—had turned white.
Not a dull grey, not a faded silver, but a bright, ethereal white.
"What the..." he muttered while turning his head slowly from side to side.
His reflection stared back at him with the same confusion.
It wasn't just the color. It was longer too. At least a couple of inches. Had he somehow grown it during the bloodline awakening? In the real world?
Victor leaned closer. His eyes were still the same but something in them felt deeper. Like he was staring through a different lens now.
His phone buzzed.
He reached for it, half-dazed, and noticed a couple of missed messages. One from Amara, checking in on him. One from Jake, ranting about the entrance exam prank at Velcrest. And a group message from Max saying they had a few new ideas for tomorrow's videos.
