First territory meeting
As Shin, Velzard, and Shego left the temple, a familiar ding echoed in his mind, signaling new missions:
1. Awaken the bloodlines of Ri Shin (Byakko), Kyou Kai (Jörmungandr), and Ka Ryo Ten (Athena).
2. Increase the population to 150.
3. Explore a 100-mile radius around the territory.
4. Win the first night battle with an SSR rating.
5. Awaken Shego's bloodline (Phoenix of Chaos).
6. Use a Power Boost card on Velzard.
7. Turn the three lieutenants—En, So Sui, and San Nou—into Dragonborn.
8. Have the first night with his wives.
Rewards will be revealed after all missions are completed.
As they made their way toward the manor, Shin turned to Heart.
"
As Shin gave the command, the blue screen shimmered, and Heart responded in a calm, mechanical tone:
"Acknowledged. Allocating 10 stat points to each attribute."
The numbers on the status screen shifted as the changes took effect.
Updated Status

"Stat allocation complete," Heart confirmed.
Shin felt a surge of power course through his body as the enhancements settled in. His muscles tightened, his senses sharpened, and his mind became clearer. Even his charm, influenced by his succubus heritage, felt more potent, making his very presence more commanding.
"Hmm…" Shin flexed his fingers, feeling the new strength in his limbs. "This should be a good start."
With his base stats significantly boosted, Shin was now better prepared to tackle the list of daunting missions ahead.
As they entered the manor, John and his family greeted them at the entrance.
"Alicia, please prepare tea and snacks for six," Shin requested.
"Right away, my lord." She bowed and hurried off.
Turning to John, Shin continued, "Lead us to the meeting hall and send in Ri Shin, Kyou Kai, and Ka Ryo Ten when they arrive."
"Understood, my lord."
As they walked, Shin asked Heart, "How do I awaken someone's bloodline and create Dragonborn?"
"To awaken a bloodline, place your hand on the person and say awaken," Heart explained. "To turn someone into a Dragonborn, you must give them a drop of your blood."
The Meeting Begins
Inside the meeting hall, Shin, Velzard, Shego, Ri Shin, Kyou Kai, and Ka Ryo Ten gathered around a large table.
"Heart, display a map of the territory."
A detailed holographic map appeared before them.
"Ka Ryo Ten, as our strategist, do you think it's viable to divide the troops into four groups of 15,000? Along with some citizens, they will be tasked with exploring and securing resources—hunting, gathering wood, searching for stone and iron deposits, locating water sources, and scouting for native forces or other territories."
Ka Ryo Ten studied the map carefully. "That plan is solid, Lord Shin. We can assign scouts to each group to ensure efficiency and safety."
Shin nodded. "Good. Also, from now on, just call me Shin."
Ka Ryo Ten smiled. "Understood, Shin."
"While you're exploring, be on the lookout for Lizardmen and Ogre tribes," Shin added. "I want to make them into Dragonborn. Also, if you find a strong wolf pack, inform me immediately."
Ka Ryo Ten nodded. "We will take that into consideration and report back."
"Our main priorities are wood, iron, and stone," Shin emphasized. "We need them to upgrade our buildings."
Bloodline Awakening
Shin then turned to Shego, Ri Shin, Kyou Kai, and Ka Ryo Ten.
"Each of you possesses a powerful bloodline, just like me. It's time to awaken them."
Before starting, he pulled out a Power Boost Card and used it on Velzard.
(Ding! Velzard's understanding and mastery over ice have increased significantly!)
Now, he placed his hand on Shego's shoulder.
"Awaken!"
A bright golden light flashed around her.
(Ding! Awakening Phoenix of Chaos bloodline!)
• Understanding of fire has risen to that of an elder fire elemental.
• Gained the skill: Rebirth (Resurrects once per battle with full health).
• Can now fly with green Phoenix wings.
• Can turn females into Phoenix Followers.
Shego flexed her new emerald-green wings, flames dancing around her fingertips. "Damn, this feels amazing!"
Shin smirked and turned to Ri Shin.
"Awaken!"
Another burst of energy erupted.
(Ding! Awakening Byakko bloodline!)
• Body now stronger than the hardest metal.
• Increased strength.
• Gained the aura of a Guardian Beast Legend.
Ri Shin clenched his fists, feeling the newfound power coursing through him. "This… is incredible."
Shin then turned to Kyou Kai.
"Awaken!"
A serpentine mist swirled around her as the awakening process began.
(Ding! Awakening Jörmungandr bloodline!)
• Gained poison resistance.
• Can now imbue any weapon with deadly poison.
• Increased agility.
• Can create her own mist to obscure vision.
• Significantly increased strength.
Kyou Kai exhaled, her eyes glowing momentarily. "This will make assassinations much easier," she murmured.
Finally, Shin faced Ka Ryo Ten.
"Awaken!"
A warm golden light surrounded her, filling the room with an aura of wisdom.
(Ding! Awakening Athena bloodline!)
• Increased wisdom.
• Greater understanding of strategic warfare.
• Can always find a path to victory.
• Can teach and inspire strategic minds of legends.
Ka Ryo Ten took a deep breath. "So this is the wisdom of a goddess… I can see so many new strategies now."
Shin grinned. "Good. With this, we're one step closer to making the Kingdom of Legends the strongest in Alros."
