[Congratulations to the host! Your mother was delighted when you went to her private study to check up on her and she is excited to teach you everything you want to know. Now, her happiness level has increased from Level 2 to 3.]
[Your sister also had a great time dressing you up as a cute and sexy princess, and now, you're gradually becoming the best big brother she could have ever wished for. As a result, her happiness level has increased from Level 2 to 3 as well.]
[Therefore, you have been rewarded with two new dragon bloodline traits, along with an addition of six attribute points to all your current attributes.]
[Also, due to an increase in her happiness level, Lily will receive four attribute points to all of her current attributes.]
[All points have successfully been added to your current attributes.]
[Would the host like to view his new dragon bloodline traits now?]
'Yes.'
The system acknowledged his response, and a new screen appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations to the host, you've acquired a new dragon bloodline trait: (Dragon Ears).]
[{Dragon Ears}=> With this trait, the host can now easily detect vibrations and movement at a long distance. With deep focus and concentration, you can even hear the heartbeat of those around you. However, this trait will also make your ears extremely sensitive to loud noises.]
Looking at the details of his newly acquired trait, Aster simply smiled.
He seemed to have understood the pattern with which he kept acquiring new traits.
'Hmm, this new trait is really good, there's no doubt about that, but since I already have a draconic appetite, a pair of dragon eyes, and now a dragon ear, doesn't that mean I'll be having a dragon nose next?'
'Hm, maybe I'll be given a dragon tail instead.'
'Oh my goodness, that would be so cool.'
'I could use it during training or combat to sweep my enemies off the floor.'
'No wait.'
'While a dragon tail would indeed be cool, thinking about it now, I believe it would be better to have a pair of dragon wings instead.'
'Hmm, having dragon wings will enable me to fly, and who doesn't like to fly?'
'Not this guy, that's for sure.'
'Alright, now my hope is to acquire dragon wings next.'
'Please, be dragon wings, please be dragon wings, PLEASE BE DRAGON WINGS.'
'Of course, I won't mind having a dragon tail too but I really want a pair of dragon wings right now, okay system?' Aster pleaded in his mind then lifted his head to take a look at his newly acquired trait.
But to his surprise, he got something else entirely.
[Congratulations to the host! You've acquired a new dragon bloodline trait: (Mana Stomach).]
[{Mana Stomach}=> Ever wondered why dragons could shoot a gout of flames from their mouths? That's because dragons possess a special organ that enables them to store large amounts of mana from the air around them.
The stored mana particles are immediately ignited by a different dragon trait, which allows these dragons to breathe fire during combat.}
{The mana stomach is similar to how certain creatures have more than one stomach for the digestion of their food, but rather than this stomach being used for just storing impure mana from the air, the mana stomach automatically refines it during meditation.}
In other words, you've automatically become one of the few individuals who can store both mana and aura within you.}
{However, this trait isn't limited to storing mana alone, because it also allows you to have a faster recovery rate whenever your mana becomes depleted during combat or training.}
'Oh, bummer.' Aster sighed internally as he read the details displayed before him.
'I was really hoping for a dragon tail or wings, but this one is pretty nice too.'
'Hm, so I have a mana stomach now, huh?' Aster uttered in his thoughts as he placed a hand on his stomach.
'Hmm. I don't feel anything, though, so I guess… oh.'
'Oh wait, on second thought, I do feel something.'
'In fact, I feel like I could actually feast on all of these mana particles I'm seeing around me.'
'But seriously, if I could absorb the mana particles around me and ignite them just like the dragons I've watched in movies, wouldn't that make me really really strong?'
'Honestly, just how overpowered can a dragon really be?'
'It's official, dragons are the best.'
'I love them!!!!' Aster yelled excitedly in his mind before staring at the screen once again.
'Hmm, I wonder what the system meant when it said I'm one of the few individuals who can store both mana and aura within myself.'
'Does this mean not a lot of people can do this?'
'Oh well, I guess I'll ask mother about it later.'
'Seriously, at this rate, I'll probably have hundreds of questions to ask her by daybreak.'
'Will she even be able to answer them all?'
'Yeah, she will.'
'If she could smother me with a thousand kisses in less than a minute, then there's nothing that woman can't do.' Aster happily waved the screen away before turning his thoughts toward something else.
'Alright, it's time to take a look at my status.'
Aster summoned his status and a new screen popped up in front of him, displaying his profile and skills.

'Oh, my title has been updated.'
'I guess I've truly been recognized as the official dragon prince of this kingdom.'
'But it's weird, because these demons haven't even seen me, yet they've openly accepted me as their prince.'
'Oh well, I don't mind either way.'
'In fact, I'm glad things turned out this way.' Aster thought to himself before focusing on the screen.
'Oh, the bloodline traits and abilities have become even more detailed.'
'Is this due to my appraisal skill?'
'Yeah, I think so.'
'Wow, so each trait really gave me a lot of skills, huh.'
'And it seems most of them are still at level 0.'
'But how am I supposed to level up my fear and illusion resistance skills?'
'I wonder if I would have to…' Aster suddenly paused his train of thought when he felt Vivian's hand, gently patting his head.
"Astaroth?" She called out and Aster slowly turned around to meet her gaze.
"Mm?"
"What's wrong, dear? You can't sleep? Or are you feeling restless because you can't wait to learn about the world tomorrow?"
"Yeah, maybe a little."
Vivian gave a knowing smile before planting a kiss on his forehead. "I understand, dear. Just try to close your eyes, relax your mind, and before you know it, it will be daybreak and we can begin our history lesson. Okay, sweetie?"
Aster nodded before calling out to Vivian. "Mom? I've been meaning to ask."
"What is it dear? You can ask me anything."
"Why do you keep calling me Astaroth? I believe you know what my original name is, but you still choose to call me Astaroth, why? And what about Lily? You allowed her to keep her original name, but not me. Is there a reason why you keep calling me Astaroth instead of my real name?"
