Luke opened his eyes and exhaled a breath.He had beeating for almost 20 hours and now he was hungry. When one reaches a certain level of spiritual cultivation it is possible to fast for long periods of time, but on the trary, in the first levels, the amount of food that a practitioner must e is much greater than that of a normal person.

  Luke stood up a straight to the bathroom, where a rge barrel of hot water had been prepared for him.He smiled, it was not bad to have people to help him with these kinds of small tasks.The one who was serving Luke in his daily life was a member of the Dragon Goddess Cult, a novice who had just begun his path within the church.

  To uand why Luke was being assisted by the Dragon Goddess Churust go ba time to what happened a few days ago.

  After the great otion caused by the identity test i, Queen Zara ordered that no one was to speak about the subject again until otherwise instructed. Those found spreading rumors would be punished directly with capital punishment.

  The queen the Luke in the care of the churd indicated that she would have an audieh him ter, to discuss certain matters that were not suitable to be discussed in publice then, three days have passed without any summons from the queen.

  Meanwhile, the church did not pay much attention to him either. The beautiful purple-eyed priestess who apanied Zara that day turned out to be the holy dy of the cult, the closest person to the goddess in the world. Like Luke, she is also a Lunari hybrid. Her name is Namira, and the people in the church call her Nami.

  Namira and the high priest, who was one of the five Lunaris on the dais, chatted briefly and the without even speaking to Luke.

  The young noviamed Elian , oeen years old, was the one appoio assist Luke. Apparently, despite not paying much attention to him at the time, both the churd the queen had certain expectations pced on him, or at least some reason to keep him within their spheres of influence.

  Elian first took him to trace his Lunaris roots. Each Lunari born in this forest was established through the use of an aral relic, the “Stemma” tree, which was literally a living family tree.

  The Stemma tree had been pnted by the aor of the Lunaris, and has apas people sihe dawn of their existence. By simply depositing a drop of blood on the roots of the tree, it locate the closest retives and pce the person in the corresponding pce within the Lunari genealogy. Each person is represented by a fruit posed of a special resin, where the name of the individual be inscribed.In addition to funing as a family tree, Stemma also allows oo know if a registered person is alive or not. Since when one dies, the fruit that represents that person falls from the tree.The churd royalty keep a plete written record of Lunari genealogy, going back to the founding aors.

  Luke, not knowing where he came from, or even if he had true Lunari ary or was just another one of the system's faulty ws, was quite worried when the young novice took him to the tree tister him and track down his retives. But luckily, there was no problem. The tree pced him at the end of a small Lunari family, and although they had no direct retionship, they were fairly close retives.“It seems that this body does have Lunari aors, now the story I made up is practically firmed as true” Luke thought after finishing his registration iree.

  Elian also took him to visit his retives. However, that meeting did not go so well.Apparently, Luke Lyriksen's grandmother was really Lunari as he had said, and she had a younger brother. This younger brother would bee Luke's great-uncle, a grumpy old man is Spais's children and grandchildren weled Luke with enthusiasm, but Otis was not so hospitable, he looked him up and down and began to utter a string of unintelligible insults, which frightehe rest of the family.Seeing that a civilized versation would not be possible, his sed uncle asked him to e baother time, when old Otis was calmer.

  Not having a pce to live, the church provided him with aodation in the clergy dormitories. It was a simple, austere room, which would normally be where a novice just beginning his monastic career would have stayed, but Luke was tent with such a room; he was a man who knew how to settle for little and appreciate the things he had, no matter how trivial they might seem to other people.

  Luke submerged himself i water as he recalled the events of the previous days.Feeling the gentle embrace of the water, a feeling of pleasure spread through his ag muscles. These days, in addition to having advanced with his spiritual cultivation, he had also begun to train his body with a teique he learned in his previous life. This dual training was torturous, and a normal person could not carry it out. But Luke, with his system and experience, did not fall into the category of a “normal person.”

  “Status” he excimed in his mind, and the familiar transparent s appeared in front of him again.

  “After three days my attributes have improved quite a bit, I finally defend myself in case of unforesees. Although I am still weak, I am no lo the bottom of the food . “Also, my cultivation has reached the sed level, and I still marvel at the speed with which I advahanks to the talent of this body.”

  “Now what I have to do is tio increase my bat power, and increase the level of the system. It's a shame that there haven't been any new missions, with the two I currently have, it will be difficult.”

  Luke closed his eyes and rexed. For a mome aside all his worries and enjoyed a moment of rexation.

  After finishing his bath, he dressed in some clothes that he had asked Elian to get for him. It was a cssic warrior's outfit, which had been provided to him by the church. Leather armor, boots, a short sword, two daggers, and a bow, whifortunately was not a magic bow. But it didn't matter, in his past life he had learhe art of entment and could imbue mana or spiritual power into any on if he so desired.

  He approached the window and looked at the sky. The sun was rising on the horizon.

  “I'm going to need some materials for my cultivation, and I don't like my occupation to remain as “unemployed”. Today I'm going to take the opportunity to explore the forest and go hunting.”

  In his previous life he had never ehe sacred forest he was in now, so both the topology and biology and the characteristics of the forest were unknown to him. He would have to do a reaissance round, and in the process he would observe possible escape routes. There was always a o have an escape route.

  “First of all I will have to ask permission to go out into the forest. Even though I am not under surveilnd apparently I am free to move as I please, I still do not have a defiatus within society. Just like old Otis, who is my own family but rejects me, many other Lunaris may not be happy with my arrival. No society is monolithid it is always best to act with caution” Luke thought as he took a cloak ahe room.

  He left the dormitories where his room was and walked towards the town hall. If he o ask for permission, he could probably do it there.

  As he walked, he looked at his missions again. Mission 02 was about creating offspring with a Lunari. Luke dismissed it bluntly. In his current situation, it was a mission that had no future in the short term.

  “It doesn’t have a time limit anyway,” he thought.

  Mission 03 was totally fusing. He had to save a young Lunari who would die in 3 days. But it didn’t give him any information about the young man, his location, or the circumstances of his death. It was simply a bugged mission. But he had no choice but to start paying attention to the “young” Lunaris he entered. Perhaps the system would give him some clue if certain ditions were met.

  Luke crossed the main square and approached the town hall that was just a few meters away. However, before he could get there, he was intercepted by the young novice Elian, who stood in front of him agitated, as if he had e running urgently.

  Elian put his hands on his knees and leaned forward to take a breath. Once he had caught his breath he jumped like a panther and hugged Luke by the neck.

  “Luke! I almost had a heart attack, I went to look for you in your room and saw that you had disappeared!”

  “Ah, I was going to go to the city hall to ask-”

  “Never mind, never mind. I have an urgent message to tell you. The holy dy has summoned you, she wants to have an audieh you!”

  “Eh? Now?”

  “Yes, yes! I have beeo look for you so that I escort you to see her. For a moment I thought that you had left the city and I wouldn't be able to find you, what a scare!”

  Luke thought of the sensual figure of the priestess and a fire began to burn inside him. Although it was not as strong as when he almost lost his temper in front of the queen, it was still an abnormal situation.

  “Okay, let's go. Point the way” he said in a hoarse voice, and as they headed in the dire of Nami's chambers, he began to sult the system.

  “Syzy, what's wrong? Why are my desires so untrolble? It is an abnormal situation that has beeing itself”

  “Host, it is a bination of factors. To begin with, the blood of the dragon goddess that you have ed stimutes desire aility. In addition, the new version of the system that has been downloaded taking into at the deepest desires of the host, produces a great increase in libido and al desires, and also increases fertility expoially to ehe produ of legitimate offspring”

  “What?!!” Luke shouted, sg the young novice who was leading the way in front of him and turning his back.

  Luke's mind began to implode. This damn system! It has started with its damn irregurities again! How could he lead a normal life if every time he met a beautiful woman he lost his mind aered a state of overflowiement!

  Elian stopped and looked at him with an inquisitive look. But Luke ignored him and tinued walking. So the young man had no choice but to put down his doubts and tinue leading the way.

  “Syzy, this is important. Is there a way to disable the effects of the new version?”

  “No, the effects are io the new version of the system. The only way to remove them would be to delete or rewrite the system.”

  “Rewrite the system? How I do that?”

  “The Host will be able to rewrite the system if he obtains a preater than that of a god.”

  Luke’s forehead filled with bck lines from frowning so much. Damn system!

  However, he remained calm and tio explore other possibilities.

  “In that case, is there a way to mitigate the effects of the new version?”

  “Yes, if the Host finds a parto practice dual cultivation, the primary objective of the modification introduced with the new version will be satisfied. So the effects will be greatly reduced. However, the more power the Host accumutes, the greater the need for cultivation parto mitigate the effects. With the Host's current cultivation level, two cultivation partners would be necessary to elimihe aforementioned effects. There may also be some exceptions, such as women who are highly patible with the Host or who have a high status (VIP), in which case the effects could still be present, with varying iy.”

  Luke took a deep breath and ted to ten in his mind. He had to stay calm above all else. The stupid system would not ge its way of ag no matter his attitude.

  “So that's why the system issued that mission about geing offspring.”He sighed.“I guess I'll have to put it on the agenda, I 't go around losing trol all the time. That's a good way to end up dead.”

  Luke felt it was a shame to have to use a woman as a simple tool to satisfy his desires. He was a romantic to the core. But he had no choice. He would have to find a woman willing to have a ns-attached retionship, or have the divine luck to find someoruly appreciated in a short period of time. “Love at first sight? What are the ces?” He thought.

  “On top of that, from the little I know of Lunari culture, they are not very liberal in that regard…”

  Elian, who had been watg Luke gesticute to himself and sigh along the way, finally stopped in front of a rge, majestic building.

  “We have arrived, Luke, this is the residence of the sacred dy.”

  Luke returo reality, ing out of his state of introspe.

  He looked up and observed the pa front of him.

  At that moment, the familiar sound resonated in his mind again.
