Chronicles of Forgotten Extra - Chapter 199

Chapter 199: The Forgotten Inheritance?
Alden stood silently looking at the system pop-up in front of him.

His thoughts, once clouded, now settled into a strange calm.

[YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ENDURED THE TRAUMA OF HUMAN: GRAVIUS]

[GRANTING REWARDS]

[CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING REWARDS]

[1. A LOW RANK SKILL: SOUL BARGAIN]

[2. A LOW RANK TECHNIQUE: DEMONIC COVENANT]

[3. BASIC SPEAR MASTERY]

[4. STATS ]

Huh?

Why’s the stat greyed out?

Alden felt confused. He tried clicking on it. But nothing happened.

Instead, another small window popped up.

[WARNING: THE USER’S BODY HAD RECENTLY UNDERGONE A BREAKTHROUGH. INCREASING STAT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE]

So it’s because of my breakthrough.

Alden thought intently for a while.

The skill and technique options practically screamed danger.

Soul Bargain and Demonic Covenant—he didn’t need a full description.

The names alone were enough.

They promised power, but power Alden would never accept.

So he decided to reject the skill and techniques without any hesitation.

On the other hand, there was spear mastery.

He had always wielded a sword. It was familiar, an extension of his body.

He has a sword which could become anything. And his art was also adaptable to any weapon.

A spear…

It was a weapon of precision. Simpler than a sword, but in the right hands—lethal.

Alden didn’t wait any longer and chose it.

Soon he felt it.

His body heated slightly.

Then it came—a flood of borrowed experience.

Countless hours of training, each movement etched into his mind like scars.

Muscle memory without the years.

Precision without the pain.

Soon the process was over. A new notification window appeared in front of him.

[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INHERITED BASIC SPEAR MASTERY.]

Alden summoned his Sword of Chaos.

Soon the pitch blade materialised in his hand.

He wielded it as it changed its shape to an elegant spear.

He took a breath.

It felt… natural. Like greeting an old friend he didn’t know he had.

He swung once.

The motion was clean. Precise. No wasted movement.

Just potential.

After swinging it a few more times, Alden put it back.

He turned his focus towards other notifications.

The ones he had dismissed since his battle with Disciple.

[▒▒▒▒▒ HAS INTERFERED]

[SEALED BLOODLINE OF ▒▒▒▒▒ HAS BEEN PARTIALLY UNLOCKED]

[TRANSCENDENT HAS BEEN UNLOCKED PARTIALLY]

[THE SUPREME ABILITY IS BEING INFLUENCED BY BLOODLINE]

[LIMITLESS ASCENSION — ADAPTIVE TRIGGER ACTIVATED]

[▒▒▒▒▒ Resonation Detected.]

[Soul Threshold Exceeded. Calculating ▒▒▒▒▒ resonance.

[THE SUPREME ABILITY IS EVOLVING]

He had dismissed it back then.

But now he scanned them again. He felt confused.

Why was my mother’s name censored?

He recalled how he had seen her. Chained and pained.

She looked pitiful.

Honestly, he felt nothing—not pity, not hate. Just emptiness.

And yet, somewhere in that void, he was thankful to her for helping her.

She helped him, even if he didn’t know why.

He then scanned the next notification.

What is this about bloodline?

He frowned.

In the original novel, there had been no mention of transcendence. No hidden bloodlines.

This was something different—off script. And that made it dangerous.

It was yet another hidden part of the story.

Alden thought.

The Draven family didn’t have any special bloodline.

Their bloodline just carried an affinity for shadow elements, not the power Alden experienced.

The power felt otherworldly.

He could see something which he normally ignored.

He couldn’t explain it until one word surfaced in his mind.

Rhythm.

He didn’t know why, but Alden felt that was the rhythm Mokah spoke of before.

But how was I able to see it through my bloodline?

Was my mother not from this world?

And is she somehow related to Mokah?

He had no answers. Not yet. His strength wasn’t enough to uncover the truth. So he pushed those thoughts aside.

Instead, he focused on something which was actually within his control.

His Supreme Ability.

He didn’t know how, but due to the influence of his bloodline and whatever the transcendence was, his supreme ability had evolved.

“Status,” he muttered softly.

Soon the familiar blue system panel appeared in front of him.

His status window was the same except for a few changes.

Two of his stats had increased.

Especially his endurance which had increased by one whole major rank.

It was surprising. But something else stood out even more.

Two new additions—one title, one bloodline.

He focused first on the title, hoping he’d get some clue about the bloodline.

Soon a small system window appeared showing information about his new title.

___

[Inheritor of ▒▒▒▒▒ Bloodline]

You bear the mark of the Forgotten—an ancient lineage of world ▒▒▒. Erased from history and memory. The world may have forgotten, but the blood has not.

___

As soon as Alden saw the description, he was sure.

His mother definitely didn’t belong to this world. He didn’t understand how she came to Eryndor or why.

But there has to be a reason behind it.

That also unlocked the possibility that people from other worlds could enter this world.

Except for description the title didn’t mention anything.

No special effects nothing.

Moving on, Alden decided to check his bloodline.

His bloodline also showed some cryptic words. So he didn’t know the name of it.

He focused on the bloodline.

As another small window appeared.

[BLOODLINE – ??? (SEALED)]

[Error]

[Error]

Huh?

What the hell?

Why can’t I see details?

Is this because it’s sealed?

Yeah, that makes sense.

Alden dismissed thoughts about checking his bloodline.

Finally, it was time for the most important thing.

His supreme ability.

He took a deep breath.

Unlike the bloodline which was inherited.

His supreme ability was his own.

Something unique to him.

He focused on his supreme ability as a new system window appeared.
