I Become A Mob Character In A Novel

Before I could react, a searing pain shot through my chest, and my body convulsed. I doubled over, gasping for breath as the pain intensified. It felt as though my very essence was being ripped apart, my newly awakened powers spiraling out of control.

[Warning! System Overload Detected]

[Initiating Emergency Stabilization]

The system\'s alerts blared in my mind, but I could barely focus on the words. The energy within me was erupting, a volatile mix of demonic, draconic, and elven powers clashing violently. I could feel my consciousness slipping, the edges of my vision darkening as I struggled to maintain control.

Suddenly, a new presence made itself known—a voice, ancient and powerful, resonating within my mind.

"Child of the Ashwoods, you carry the blood of dragons. Do not resist. Embrace the change."

The voice was both commanding and comforting, a stark contrast to the chaotic energy raging within me. With no other option, I focused on the voice, letting its words guide me.

"Calm your mind. Find the balance within the chaos."

I took a deep, shaky breath, trying to center myself amidst the storm. Slowly, I began to visualize the energy within me, not as separate, clashing forces, but as different facets of a single, powerful entity. I envisioned the demonic, draconic, and elven energies merging, coalescing into a harmonious whole.

The pain began to subside, the chaotic energy settling into a more stable, controlled state. I could feel the presence of the ancient voice guiding me, helping me to harness the raw power within me.

"Yes, that\'s it. Embrace your true nature."

With a final, deep breath, I felt the energy within me stabilize completely. The pain dissipated, replaced by a profound sense of power and control. I opened my eyes, feeling a new clarity and strength.

[Emergency Stabilization Successful]

[System Update: Host\'s body has successfully integrated the new bloodlines]

I took a moment to process what had just happened. The energy within me was now a cohesive force, a potent blend of demonic, draconic, and elven powers. I could feel the strength coursing through my veins, the raw potential waiting to be unleashed.

"Rahahahaha~ Lil\' dragon, don\'t hurry to get overwhelmed," the ancient voice chuckled, echoing within my mind. "Your journey has only just begun."

[Emergency Stabilization Completed]

Before I could even ask any questions, the presence faded, leaving me alone in my room once more. I let out a long breath, feeling the tension slowly drain from my body. The transformation had been intense, but I felt stronger and more in tune with my powers than ever before.

There was no time to dwell on the changes. I had a mission to complete and my mother\'s safety to ensure. I rose to my feet, feeling the newfound strength and agility in my movements. My senses were sharper, and my mind was clearer.

I looked in the mirror the changes were striking. My eyes, which once held a mix of blue and red, now glowed with a deeper, otherworldly hue, a blend of demonic, draconic, and elven energies. My hair, previously half-snow-white and half-pitch-black, now had streaks of crimson and silver interwoven, giving me a more formidable appearance.

How the fuck am I going to explain all of this to my family?

I sighed, running a hand through my now more vibrant hair. The changes were unmistakable, and I could already anticipate the barrage of questions that would come my way.

Oh! Right~

System Shop!!!

I quickly accessed the System Shop, hoping that the items available might help me manage or even disguise my transformation. The familiar interface flickered to life in my mind, displaying a range of options. I scanned through the categories, looking for something that could assist with my current situation.

[1. Consumable Items]

[2. Equipments]

[3. Magical Artifacts]

[4. Rare Spells]

[5. Combat Enhancements]

[6. Miscellaneous]

The Magical Artifacts category opened up, revealing a variety of intriguing options. I scanned through the list, looking for something that could either help me disguise my transformation or give me an advantage in managing my new powers.

[Magical Artifacts:

"..."

Seriously, I AM STILL BROKE!!!

[Destiny Points: 10000]

I stared at the list, feeling a wave of frustration wash over me. With only 10,000 Destiny Points and all the items priced significantly higher, I was faced with a tough choice. Only Universal Disguise Pendant will work in my unique situation, But I couldn\'t afford it. My current balance of 10,000 Destiny Points was far short of the 20,000 needed for the Universal Disguise Pendant.

I closed the System Shop, frustration simmering within me.

[Ding! System One-Time Offer: The host can get 50% Reward points of the ongoing mission completion as an advance for immediate use. Would you like to proceed?]

I hesitated for a moment, considering the implications. Taking an advance on the reward points could help me get the pendant now, but it would mean fewer points later. Still, given the urgency of my situation, it seemed like the best option.

"Yes, proceed with the advance," I confirmed.

[Ding! 12,500 Destiny Points have been credited to your account. Current Balance: 22,500 Destiny Points.]

Perfect. I reopened the System Shop and swiftly selected the Universal Disguise Pendant.

[Universal Disguise Pendant - 20000 Destiny Points]

[Purchase Confirmed. Remaining Balance: 2500 Destiny Points]

As the pendant materialized in my hand, I felt a rush of relief. Its design had a trident in the middle which was surrounded by blue glowing runes. It felt warm to the touch, pulsating with a gentle energy that seemed to sync with my own. I slipped the pendant around my neck and activated its enchantment.

Instantly, a sensation of calm washed over me as my appearance began to shift. I watched in the mirror as the vibrant streaks in my hair faded, my eyes returning to their original blue and red mix. The pendant had successfully cloaked my true form, masking the intense changes I\'d undergone.

With my appearance back to its familiar state, I felt a surge of confidence. Now I could face my family without drawing unnecessary attention. I took a deep breath and left my room, heading towards the main hall where I knew my family would be gathered.

As I walked through the corridors of the Ashwood estate, I couldn\'t help but notice the heightened awareness I had of my surroundings. Every detail, every sound was more vivid, more alive. The integration of the new bloodlines had amplified my senses to an extraordinary degree.

I reached the main hall and found my mother, Elysia, Alice, Sionna, Lily, and Liliana drinking tea and snacks and chatting animatedly. As I approached, their conversations were hushed, and all eyes turned toward me. My mother, Elysia, was the first to speak.

"Samael, you look... different," she said, her eyes narrowing slightly.

I forced a smile, hoping to convey nonchalance. "Just a bit of a rough night, Mother. I\'m fine now."

Alice, my little sis, raised an eyebrow. "Rough night or not, there\'s something different about you."

Lily, who was still grieving for Ethan, looked at me with concern. "Are you sure you\'re alright?"

I nodded, trying to appear as composed as possible. "Yes, really. I just need some rest."

Sionna bounced her way up to me and leached onto my arm, her curiosity evident. "Samael, did something happen? You seem... stronger."

I chuckled, ruffling her hair affectionately and scratching her wolf ears as she looked up at me with those wide, innocent eyes. "Maybe I\'ve just been training a bit harder," I said, hoping to deflect their concern.

"Hey! He is my big brother only I am allowed to tease him," Alice made her way to my side, giving me a playful nudge.

Elysia\'s gaze softened as she observed the interaction between us. "Well, I\'m glad you\'re feeling better. And that Raven girl is also out of danger and is resting, might gain consciousness tomorrow."

I gave Elysia a grateful smile. "Thank you, Mother. It\'s good to hear she\'s on the mend."

"Mother, are you going somewhere?" I asked pretending to act casual while sensing the subtle tension in the room.

Elysia looked at me, her expression shifting to one of contemplation. "I have some important matters to attend to," she said. "There are political alliances that need addressing, and I must ensure the safety of our family\'s interests."
