Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Fatigue weighed on Caleb as he returned to his room, allowing the maids to attend to the mysterious bloodstain that had appeared near his door. The room was soon restored to its pristine state, leaving no trace of the enigmatic occurrence.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With a sigh, Caleb sank onto his bed, the events of the evening swirling in his mind. His nonchalant facade masked an undercurrent of perplexity. He replayed the scenes, scrutinizing every detail, but the elusive answer continued to slip through the grasp of his understanding.

Questions burgeoned in his mind, forming a labyrinth of uncertainty. Why would blood materialize seemingly out of nowhere? Who or what could be responsible for such an inexplicable phenomenon? As Caleb pondered, his analytical mind sifted through various possibilities.

Was it a prank? Unlikely. The security measures were stringent, and no intruder had breached their defenses. A ghostly occurrence? While an entertaining thought, it hardly aligned with Caleb's pragmatic understanding of the world. His family members' genuine confusion also dismissed any notion of a staged act.

In the quiet confines of his room, Caleb's thoughts became a ceaseless stream of inquiries. What was the significance of the three-second blackout in the CCTV footage? Could there be a connection between the sudden appearance of blood and the temporary loss of visual data?

Caleb sighed. 'Status!'

Fortunately, he was strong. If there's really some that dare to do something. Then, he at least has some confidence to deal with the culprit. Well, as long as the bastard wasn't as strong as Michael.

'System... Can I fuse the progress of my Destiny path and Taboo energy to my Genetic path? Would I lose my shadow abilities and taboo abilities if I do that?'

DING!

[Don't worry that host. All abilities will be retained... Do you want to initiate fusion? Yes/No...]

Caleb breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could retain all his abilities. He took a deep breath and answered decisively. "Fuse!"

Caleb's confidence in his strength served as a bulwark against the unknown. He pondered the potential fusion of his Destiny path progress, Taboo energy, and Genetic path with a mix of curiosity and caution. The System's confirmation that all abilities would be retained alleviated his concerns, prompting Caleb to take the plunge.

"Fuse!" he declared with unwavering resolve.

As the energies intertwined within him, Caleb felt a surge of power coursing through his veins. The fusion acted as a catalyst, unlocking not only his 2nd gene lock but also propelling him to unlock the coveted 3rd gene lock. The room, unable to contain the burgeoning power, succumbed to the force of the breakthrough.

A cataclysmic phenomenon unfolded—the once serene sky and moon transformed into an ominous shade of blood red, casting an eerie glow across the landscape. Inside his room, the fusion of energies reached a crescendo, triggering a violent explosion. Flames engulfed the space, reducing everything within to ashes, including Caleb's clothes, leaving him standing in the aftermath, naked and transformed.

Outside the room, chaos ensued. The sudden eruption of energy had alarmed his family, who rushed to the scene with a mix of fear and concern etched on their faces. The destruction left them bewildered, prompting a barrage of questions directed at Caleb, who emerged unscathed from the ordeal.

"Fuck! Adam what did you do to your damn room!?" It was Delvin, who first opened his mouth. "Did you detonate a bomb?"

Everyone woke up from a daze at this moment. The second floor, Caleb's room, it was all gone. Burnt to ashes. Fortunately, the flames didn't spread to other rooms and the damage was relatively small. However, they were still worried that the explosion injured Caleb.

"Son, what happened?" It was the head of the family, their father who asked. He looked at his naked son's dragon and nodded in approval. 'Like father, like son...'

Caleb immediately covered his private parts and looked at his family without shame. "It seems I've accidentally unlocked my second gene lock..."

Of course, he would say that he also unlocked the 3rd gene lock. That was too abnormal and too shocking... He still prefers to keep some things secret.

Klein swallowed. "You've really broken through!" He could feel the surge of energy from his younger brother's body. The amount and the quality were far superior to him! However, it couldn't specifically measure just how much.

This made him a bit speechless. His younger brother actually surpassed him in strength in one night!? Just what happened!?

The father of the family was also dumbfounded. Could it be... His son was actually a late-blooming genius!? Who accidentally unlocks their gene lock like that?!

The mother on the other hand visibly relaxed. For her, what was more important was her son's well-being. The explosion just now made her panic.

Delvin pointed at the blood-red sky and moon. "Does this phenomenon have something to do with your breakthrough? But you've just unlocked you're the second gene, right?"

"I heard that only a person that unlocks their 3rd gene lock could trigger various kinds of phenomenon. Adam managed to trigger one on his advancement to Extraordinary Realm..." Klein sighed, still unable to process what was happening. "Adam, there are various phenomena 3rd genetic lock unlockers could trigger... It could be a lightning storm, phoenix, dragon, mythical beast, etc... It's related to their attribute. Yours seems to be related to the blood?"

Who would have known my breakthrough would cause such phenomenon and commotion!? Damned system! It didn't warn him!

'Status!'
