The limitations on the human bloodline were also significantly changed, with a few minor ones getting completely removed while almost every other one was downgraded to Minor Rank, with very few traits staying at Lesser Rank.
Alex was extremely thrilled with the changes as now his human bloodline had better traits and limitations than any other bloodline he knew about.
Alex moved on to the next notification, which was about the (?????? Child), and seeing its unique name, he was expecting it to be something special, but not only was it not anything special, but worse yet, it was just a show title.
The title gave zero benefits and didn't even have a proper description, as everything about it was question marks.
Alex knew that such titles were exceedingly scarce and occasionally bestowed extraordinary benefits, but more often than not, they remained mere showpieces in one's status.
The following notification was the [Heart Of The Ancient], and it piqued Alex's interest the most from the moment he saw it, but before checking the notification, Alex decided to scan the inside of his body to see if it was as he imagined it to be.
'I didn't have a skill with the name of Heart of the Ancient in my status, and the system notification indicated that the heart is acquired and not evolved, so let's see if my imagination is correct,' Alex thought, as he took a deep breath closed his eyes before he used his mana sense.
Alex felt everything in the lab room with much greater clarity than ever before, but his entire focus was on the two hearts beating in his chest in complete synchronization.
Alex unconsciously held a smile as he felt the second crystalline transparent in color but now looking pitch dark because of the dense dark mana coursing through it and the intricate web of mana vessels connected to it.
Alex scanned his second heart for a few seconds to see if its structure had any changes from the normal, and it was a complete replica of his original human heart with the same chambers and veins going in and out.
'I created my mana veins in the hope they would evolve into something, but I never even thought I would receive a completely separate heart,' Alex thought, smiling from ear to ear.
'Let's see what benefits a second heart can give,' Alex thought as he quickly opened his physique status, which had many changes to it, but ignoring them, he opened the details of the heart of the ancient.
--------------
Name: Heart of the Ancient
Grade: Unique (Ancient Bloodline)
Benefits: Cosmic Infusion, Rapid Mana Recovery, Mana Amplification, Mana Overdrive.
Description: A cosmic gift, a unique organ pulsating with the very essence of the cosmos, granting unrivaled mastery over cosmic forces and greater gifts to the bearer.
--------------
'The first three benefits are comparable to the Elementalist transformed heart, but the last one can help me do the trick veteran Elementalist could do but on a much safer scale.' Alex thought after reading all four benefits.
-------
Cosmic Infusion: The Heart of the Ancient passively enhances the user's mana with mild cosmic properties, removing any impurities that make the mana exceptionally potent.
-------
After the Fourth Rank promotion, the transformed heart would also passively enhance and refine the user's mana with worldly law energy, making even a lower level spell or skill used by them much stronger than a third Rank individual could with the same skill.
The rapid mana recovery was self-explanatory, while the mana amplification allowed Alex to significantly increase his flow of mana up to three times his normal speed, increasing his spell-casting speed and making them stronger.
The Mana Overdrive was a bit special as using it, Alex could make his heart capable of pumping mana at ten times the normal flow, not only significantly boosting his magical capabilities but also his physical.
The side effect of using the overdrive was that it would severely injure both the heart and circulatory system and if used for a prolonged period, could make an Elementalist cripple with permanently damaged mana veins while also damaging the overall health of their heart.
This was the reason why elementalists capable of using it kept it as a last resort, only using it if their life was on the line.
'I wonder how much different it would be to have a second heart dedicated to mana, and this also makes me wonder how my fourth Rank promotion will go?' Alex thought as he considered a few possibilities.
'I will find out soon,' Alex thought as he closed the system window and started to check the changes that had happened to his physique.
The first major change other than his physique advancing from the Adolescent Stage to the Emergence Stage was the stat boost it gave, which was previously 200, but now it stood at an astonishing 2000, but that wasn't even the best past.
In the past, Alex had received a one-time 200-point stat boost upon awakening his physique, but now, with each Rank promotion, he would gain an increase of two thousand points in each stat.
The stat point he could receive on each level up didn't change, staying at twice the normal.
The other change to the physique was the addition of three skills, two of which Alex recognized as the ones used by the Dark entity he dreamed of while going through the evolution process.
After reading the notification, it took moments for Alex to figure out that his physique was licked with that entity named Dark, and as for his dream, he was unsure if it held some meaning or even if it was real and not just fabricated by Zero.
Alex first checked his old skill eyes of the ancient, but it had no changes, so without delay, Alex moved to skills, with the first he picked being 'Tenebrous Shard Enclave.'
Alex hadn't seen this skill in action, so he was a bit excited to check the unknown, knowing it should be something special, and it didn't disappoint in being special.
-------------
Name: Tenebrous Shard Enclave
Grade: Special
Effect: The user can create a dome of pitch darkness that stretches 100 meters in radius. (Locked until Fourth Rank)
Description: Inside the dome of darkness, all darkness-based attacks performed by the user are enhanced by ???, while all other elemental concepts within the dome are heavily restricted.
-------------
'This is a Fu***** broken skill with similar capabilities to Elemental Domain even though highly restricted, but still, this is a domain-like skill,' Alex thought, feeling more shocked than after seeing a second heart in his body.
'The darkness manipulation is broken as well, as it is already at the perfect mystery stage, which didn't even make sense to me but with everything else it kind of does at the same time,' Alex thought, ignoring his thought and checking the two remaining skill that he was looking forward to.
------------
Darkness Embrace: The skill allows the user to release an immense quantity of darkness energy, forming a tranquil yet profoundly corrosive swamp of darkness with a maximum radius of 200 meters.
The user possesses precise control over this dark expanse, enabling them to manipulate it at will, ensnaring and subduing opponents within its engulfing embrace.
--------
Nihility Purge: The skill allows the user to unleash a dense shroud of darkness infused with the concept of Nihility, capable of swiftly obliterating any elemental energy it comes in contact with.
------------
'Aowsome,' This was all Alex could think after seeing the two skills.
