Last Descendant: Awakening The SSS+ Rank World Devouring System

Chapter 3: Version 0.0

’I really can’t believe it.’ Draxus thought while staring at his reflection on the water, his reflection displayed a silver white wolf with a smooth mane and sharp teeth.

He stood perplexed for a while then turned towards the panel one more time, the warning signal had been displayed previously which refused to leave, constantly prompting him to attend to it.

{Please complete the system startup to kickstart the system’s functions and unlock the racial talents!}

’This gives off the same vibe as those scammers trying to entice you into a bad deal by displaying the benefits before you.’

{I’m not a scammer, the host should please respect himself}

’You can talk? I don’t recall it being this way, you’re not supposed to be sentient are you? Sentient systems never end well, don’t tell me you’re trying to take over my body.’

{I don’t need your body, it’s way beneath me but I still have to rely on you to sustain myself}

’I don’t trust that, but it’s not like I have a choice right? Besides, I’m tired of being ridiculed and called useless all the time, even if it’s just for a short period of time I wish to take control over my life.’ Draxus thought, swiping his paws across the system’s panel.

{Rest assured, the system has no intention to take over the host’s body, I was designed to assist you in rebuilding the Kastiyan legacy and recovering its inheritance, if you die then the mission is failed and I’ll follow along, we’re bound by life and death therefore every single one of my actions are to implore and guide you towards the right path}

’What am I to do then?’

{The Quests Tab, complete the first main Questline series and I’ll kickstart into version 1.0}

’Quests?’

{Upper right corner please}

’I saw that long ago.’ he thought then tapped on the quests tab which had the shape of a small mail.

{Main Questline Series}

{The Legacy Of Kastiya}

{Main Questline: Take over a world core}

{Time limit: Ten years}

{Punishment: Death}

Draxus’s face twitched the moment he saw the first quest pinned at the very top, it looked very enticing and.....

’Take over a world core??! What on Earth do you take me for? If you really need this to kickstart the system’s functions I don’t think we’ll be going anywhere anytime soon!’

’But all that aside, taking over a world core really does seem enticing, how do you even do it? I guess that’s where the "world devouring" part came from?’

{Host should please learn to calm down and analyze certain situations properly, the Legacy of Kastiya is the main Questline but it isn’t required to kickstart the System’s functions, you didn’t even check it properly before jumping into conclusions}

{Besides, I am very disappointed in your pessimistic mind, as a descendant of Kastiya, taking over the world core of a minor world like this should be relatively easy even without the system, the host should please learn to, or at least try to gain some confidence in himself or I’ll extract your bloodline and transfer it to a more worthy host}

’Okay okay, enough with the rants, I’ll do better what’s with the threat.’ Draxus shrunk back then glanced at the panel once again, below the first main Questline series {Legacy Of Kastiya} there indeed was another series he had overlooked due to the absurdity of the first series.

{System Awakening}

{Main Questline: Complete Your first Class Evolution}

{Reward: System’s Upgrade To Version 1.0}

{Punishment: None}

{Deadline: None}

Below the two main Questline series were three other lines of words dyed in a dark color.

{Daily Quests}

{Weekly and Monthly Quests}

{Special Quests}

’Why can’t I access these?’

{Upgrade to version 1.0 first please, and you should stop presenting stupid questions or I’ll just ignore you}

’Holy, this must be the most disrespectful system ever, why are you so grumpy?’ He thought then slowly walked away from the little stream, the forest looked peaceful and calm without any turbulence but Draxus was still deeply confused.

’Okay I’m sorry for this but how am I even supposed to upgrade my class? There really isn’t any hint here detailing the process right? And would you mind explaining what this whole Kastiya stuff is about?’

{Upgrading your class only requires energy which you can gain by eating other animals you hunt or special energy reserves, this is the standard growth method of the Kastiyans, they feed on anything that has energy or life in it, absorbing every single trait in it, even devouring talents and innate physiques}

{Functioning similar to parasites they can infiltrate into another host’s body and slowly gain control over them then fully seize control, they have no particular race but they are grouped together according to their bloodline and called the Kastiyans}

A chill ran through Draxus’ spine after he heard the system’s words ’Gradually seize control, isn’t that what you’re doing right now?’

{No, I’m not a member of the Kastiyan bloodline so I’m unable to utilize their abilities, their numbers are few and far between and those who could awaken the bloodline are even fewer, those who could fully awaken the Kastiya bloodline would gain a unique ability to reconfigure their race and class at any point in time, in a fixed or constantly warping state every member of the direct Kastiyan bloodline is essentially a potential pioneer to a new race in the universe, this unique trait accorded them the nickname Race creators}

{Some even speculated that all the current races had a Kastiyan pioneering it at a point in time!}

’Oh my God, so this is similar to handing the controls to me and saying, go on and create a race with whatever characteristics and features you wish for?’

{As long as you can meet the requirements yes, if you still don’t understand the process I’ll be creating a simulation based on past events for you so you’ll understand what exactly being a Kastiyan is, what weight it holds and why the Gods and sovereigns all joined hands to wipe them out}

’A simulation? Oh cool, but wait what do you mean by that? All the Kastiyans left are dead?’

{Affirmed, the host is denser than a fruitcake. And yes, as of now you Draxus Ktisis is the last Kastiyan alive}

’What th---’

{Prepare yourself, entering simulation in 5}

{4... }

{3.... }

{1... }

{Goodluck}
