She knew she had to consider carefully, as her choice would determine her future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A poor reward would leave her weaker than the Devils of the same stage, while a good one could help her take off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Liora was hesitating, a familiar translucent window flashed before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Advancement to the rank of Young Devil detected.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Override function available.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Would you like to analyze available bloodlines?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can the System interfere with the Demon World’s blessing?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart quickened.

She felt as if she had returned to her mother’s embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darkness was neither cold nor menacing, but gentle and soothing. Liora felt her body dissolve into it, becoming one with the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a lot of effort to resist the urge to do so and step back. Still, the sensation lingered, like a quiet whisper tempting her to choose it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora shook her head, steeling her resolve, and looked at the Crimson Fang Bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous roar echoed in her ears, and the blood in her veins boiled. Fangs grew out of her mouth, and vitality surged through her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red flashes danced at the edges of her vision, while intense, primal hunger swept over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora had the urge to give in to that hunger, to destroy and consume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she quickly suppressed that impulse, and her eyes regained their clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such experience made Liora immediately dismiss this bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood that it could make her strong, but would also affect her character, effectively turning her into another person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Liora’s gaze drifted across the remaining stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Souflame Bloodline, Ironclad Bloodline...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of these bloodlines gave her a distinct feeling, unique and intense, but none of them was what she sought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she turned to the fifth star, the one that intrigued her the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not only because of its high compatibility rating, but also because it represented something interesting — the unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The star was dim, unassuming among the countless bright stars around it. It possessed no special aura. No description. Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, Liora’s soul trembled as soon as her eyes landed on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, everything else vanished.
